Hmmm....so one anonymous person is criticising another anonymous person for being anonymous. Have I got that right? What a load of rubbish!  :laugh:

I thought everyone knew who Oscar was!   Must be terrible to be hounded!   :D

Several people probably do know who Oscar is, and also Oscar could be several people, which one may deduce from the differing writing styles over a period of time.  I was informed that Oscar was a group of people, but as I do not know exactly who is in such group (if same should exist), I am unable to put a name to any person or persons.  Quite naturally, like most people, I have my own ideas, but then no doubt so do you.  If it is any consolation your name has been mentioned as has my own and we both know that neither of us is Oscar.   Or are we?  Let folk speculate!    _))*

Anyone who thought that I was Oscar is obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer.  :laugh:

My happiness has just been turned into utter disappointment by that revelation.

Whoever Oscar is, he/she/they have become very sensitive recently! His tweets are very aggressive, this has been going on a while now!
His blog isn't what it used to be, which is a shame, he(?) needs to get back to the basics of what made the blog so much fun to read.

Seen in a Spanish seaport! Obviously highly thought of.    ;)

 I don't often read thoughts of Oscar. However because I have been reading in this forum about him being shut down I thought I would have a look.
 I read one particular section from a week or so ago.  STRANGE. Seems familiar.
 Yes, it should have felt familiar. I WROTE IT. But not for Oscar. I wrote it about a local news item on this forum. Copied word for word.
 I'm not annoyed about this. Indeed I feel pleasantly complacent that anyone should fancy copying anything that I had written. It's factual, so presumably Oscar thinks that if I state facts they are correct. Thanks very much Oscar for your faith in me.
 But is this normal forum behaviour ?  Should he be paying me a fee for copying my words? Am I about to make a fortune through it? I rather doubt it HaHa

Anything you write anywhere at any time forms your intellectual copyright and even if you gifted it under a Creative Commons licence it still remains your copyright. In reality, however, this is a forum which the public can browse and thus it would be extremely difficult to contest someone else's use of the material in here. In fact, since our members are often the first to report something happening locally we're more than happy as a forum for the News Media to use it in the local press or TV/Radio. The usual approach when another forum or blog copies part of the posting is to acknowledge it, with something like 'with the permission of..'.
Nothing is so firmly believed as that which we least know.  ― Michel de Montaigne

  Thanks Ian, thats what I thought. But I don't mind a bit him copying it, in fact I feel quite chuffed that he/she has. But I am surprised to say the least. Oscar/Mrs Oscar must have a lot of faith in me getting my facts right. I will have to think carefully before I write anything as fact on this forum in the future.
