I loved his posts and wish he’d post more. But I have to ask, and I’m not being a wiseacre: what drama? I remember Eddie Sluff mentioning this too, and I wonder if I’m dense or thick skinned. What drama? Is it the hazing of the new guy? Because that I get. But they’re usually such wankers, what do you expect? Other than that, I don’t get it.

I don’t understand why they all left BDWF. It makes no sense and the only drama was created when they all left BDWF and here, they couldn’t just bow out gracefully. Nooooo, they had to demand to be erased and banned, they had to burn bridges like kids in Jr. High.
Looking at it, I can clearly see the drama, it’s on their side of the street. I’ve never seen such a pansy, emotional group of cry babies and they are grown men.

I got told that it’s nothing against me, well it is clearly against me when you bash forums I belong to and make statements like those on blogs.

It was all fun and games when they went after people, forums, bloggers, you tubers and places of business here and there that they didn’t like. That was fine, but now they are safe at watch crunch because they don’t tolerate bully’s. That is a soup sandwich.

Quote Bloke "Lately, I haven’t been very active on forums, focusing most of my watch community activities on Instagram – where you can find me as @mikethewis.
The more people get used to each other, the more drama ultimately appears. "

‘’ What chased me out of forums was the fair share of drama on every one of them. The more people get used to each other, the more drama ultimately appears. Frankly, I was fed up with it.’’

Well misterbloke, we enjoyed having you at the watchlords and bestdamnwatchforums but you are being somewhat disingenuous. You came to our forums from watchuseek because you claimed there was drama, in part caused by you as per your own admission. At watchlords, which is a forum for adults watch collectors, not those who need to have affirmation and hand holding, you took plenty of shots at others during your time there. Whether is was hondikee “ The Donkey Rewind - A Decade of Braying” or bashing a new member, you managed to cause your own drama. So have those who left for watchcrunch. I have banned them for their personal attacks on the forums they called home for years.

The forums you left have been around for 13 years, exposed fraud in the watch industry and stood up to multiple attempts to take them down. We gave you a home for your “Bring a brain” and other rants and now you claim that there was “too much drama”. I honestly hope you are happy at watchcrunch or any other platform you choose to be a part of. I know other Watchlord and BDWF members feel the same way. Watchlords is the deep end of the pool, BDWF, the middle ground of forums. There is a reason both forums survive and members almost always return there or ask to be allowed to return.

Everybody's got to find their own place. I have no issue with Mr. Bloke, wish him nothing but the best going forward. If folks think there is drama here now, they should have seen the place 10 or so years ago.

Guaranteed drama that would ensue if he did

Also sure his "penpal" would feel totally betrayed, afterall, the ex-lord pied piped him to the promise land-------- along with afew others from here.
A comeback would destroy that warm & fuzzy relationship and hell, the shallow end is mucho más seguro.

I like Raul. Knows his stuff and has experienced the arse end of the industry. And doesn't ponce about calling customers his clients, unlike other watch salespeople posting online. I think he should come back to the Lords. BUT, if he's happier Crunching then fair enough.
