The Reasons For This Forum

It is, simply because everything written on this forum by me and everyone else, belongs to the forum owner. I stated before that what was written in the forum should remain in the forum. Well look on the bright side, if your force needs a new detective, you know where to come.

You sure lurk Phil, then jump out from the bushes, please read my pm to you.

Thanks Dave R

Thanks for that, its OK I didn't know who you were talking about and unless you had read the thread and I have not, its meaning less.
Don't be upset mate, glad to have you on the forum, keep posting

Capitalgull,

Dont beat yourself up mate, maybe the other site will start to apologise for their mistakes !!!

I wont hold my breath ....................... although some people may like me to hold it for a long time.

Hopefully the last posting on this matter....I've been chatting with Dave (SG) and apart from the fact I owe him a beer now (probably 2), he is okay with me, but he just asked that I posted the below, which he posted on the 'offending' .net thread on Sunday. It was also the last post on the thread, so it seems to have worked.

'Having spoken to Colin Lee at length on the phone to air my own grievances and listen to his, I can say in all honesty that he is more than happy to take any flak aimed in his direction. I'm sure that nobody who does have a problem with him would deny that he has done a remarkable job in helping turn around the fortunes of our Club. Let's not forget one thing though, he is only one of ten people on our Board. I've questioned his judgement and listened intently to his answers and at the end of the day it is his job to do what he thinks best for the Club, i've no problem with that. One thing I won't accept however is him feeling he has any right to control anything written on this site. He is more than aware of the views of the people who run this site and that while we always want to have good relations with the Club, we are independent and will remain as such. He was respectful and polite towards me but not so with Louis so as with most people, there are obviously two sides.

This thread is or was to celebrate his birthday so can we keep it on topic and not get into any squabbles here, thanks.'

I'll consider myself owing Dave R a beer for my mistake as well, although it certainly provoked plenty of postings, so maybe he should owe me one

Merse,

I trust you have noted that the comment you relied upon was not in fact kosher.

You will be pleased to know that as soon as I read it I knew that it wasn't kosher - but you went with it hook, line and sinker.

I'm not as green as you like to think I am - and sometimes when you think I'm two steps behind I might just be two steps ahead.

But we're not really arguing over anything are we? We both acknowledge our huge appreciation of all that Colin Lee has achieved in the past year and the tremendous strides OUR club has made.

Our difference seems to be that I am in favour of dotnet leaving fans to talk and show themselves up as ignorant if they want to - which I believe was always Mervo's philosophy. You seem to be in favour of draconian censorship to outlaw any negative comments about anybody at the club. Strange really, given that the mantra of this site is supposed to be freedom of speech.

Jon you said what you want, as has Merse, so please explain,
