Dear Showmasters,
I happen to work with the guys behind 'Derek & Clive' and they and I would like to know why they have been banned from this forum.
As far as we are aware they were only having a light bit of banter in the manner of the characters created by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, in response to the Forum don't read, mods please delete Mistresses characters that have appeared on this forum. We can't see how the comments made by Derek and Clive were any more offensive than the don't read, mods please delete Mistresses asking for 'a shag' every five minutes. If you are okay with their manner of posting what problem did you have with Derek & Clives?
If it was because they made comments about you directly then they have asked me to apologise to you, but firstly they were frustrated that you kept deleting their poll, and secondly they hoped you would take it in the same lighthearted manner as you do those made by the Forum don't read, mods please delete Mistresses.
They would like to be reinstated if at all possible and promise to keep their tone down this time, and would hope that the same measures are then issued against The Forum don't read, mods please delete Mistresses and others who post in this manner.
We work in a respectable London office and visiting these forums lightens our day, so we hope that you have the heart to allow Derek & Clive to return.
Regarding the 'Craig David' poster, we must stress that this has nothing to do with Derek & Clive and we cannot understand how they could possibly have the same IP address. There must be a fault with your system if it is showing the IP address as coming from this office.
Best Regards
Stuart Lockyer (aka Goldmember)
