Firstly i expect this to be locked PDQ. That is fine but i hope said admin leaves it up for all to read & peruse. The "ruck" in question seems to be between two long serving valued members that have been involved in some way since the forums outset. I met those involved at the first Lakesmeet, made friends then & still consider them so. They are both a little volatile of character...Yeah me too....but hearts are in the right place. Our forum has grown considerably since then & alot of ground has been covered over the 5 or 6 years so of course we're going to ruffle eachothers feathers from time to time, especially the more outspoken of us. Admins can get it wrong, i've locked horns with a couple of them in the past & my gob has upset a few folk over the years but i hope we're able...as a group to survive such squabbles. I've been one of the worst keyboard gobsh*tes in the past but am very pleased to still be on good terms with some i've argued with now.
Recent painful events have brought me back down to earth & put things in perspective. Please think again. Just my thoughts & wishes, Guy.
