I view the site daily and can fully see why people can become frustrated by the negative comments, pointless responses and frustrating comments by some users who do not seem to appreciate those users that go the extra mile to help others..

Those who have insulted him should bow their heads in shame. It’s regrettable that some people feel that they have the God given right to offend others and possibly either don’t realise they are doing so or just don’t care. In this instance Marcliff yet again had had enough. I doubt if we’ll hear from Marcliff again unless someone offers an apology I hope they do as I always read Marcliff’s post with great interest.
If you are reading this Marcliff,I hope you are keeping well and enjoying life. Here’s wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas

It's clear that by the spelling and grammar in most of the posts of those who criticised Marcliffs kind and helpful words over past few years are a bunch of ignorant losers with chips not on one shoulder but both
I hope he soon realises that he has many more friends than foes and that his responses to questions raised are valued by the vast majority

He used to have a page where he posted information, but you could not comment, does Marcliff not even have that now ?

Very sad situation.

Name and shame. Give them the opportunity to apologise or ban them.

Whereas I agree that, the loss of marcliff’s contributions has lessened this forum, let’s just respect his decision and cease this witch hunt to find a scapegoat.

Dont blame him, I used to look at it every day but maybe couple days a week now. Ask a simple question and get silly replies, not all I might add.

There will always be these idiots I'm afraid. If Alex bans them they will just re-register with a different email and username. All you can do is ignore them, they love it if they get a reaction.

I completely understand Marcliff's frustration, he obviously feels he needs a break. But I hope he comes back in time, he is probably the most valuable member on the forum.

I think part of the problem was that he'd say he was leaving, and he would then come back...until someone upset him, and then he'd say he was leaving, and he would then come back.

I think some took the yo-yoing as a sign of weakness, and then preyed on it upon his return.

Maybe, now, he's going to stick by leaving, and good on him - it may well be less stressful for him.

I actually know people who would take Marcliff's word over that of their gestor, which I think is pretty scary.

A lot of the information he provided was taken from readily-available information sources, and I reckon he may have just got fed up of forum members being simply too lazy to look for themselves.
