You have chosen to go to our members with a character assasination of myself which is misinformed and with details that are factually incorrect. Firstly you were not banned from the site, a point you chosen to over look. Secondly acutely aware as you are, I'm surprised that you did not understand my message from the Ed topic I raised in the Forum section a few weeks back. I apologise for trying to be too subtle, but had hoped that you would take heed without the need for any other words. I have run the Org for over 20 years and sometimes have had to make decisions that are not pleasant, which is why it grieved me to issue you a personal 'yelllow card', a private action that which you have chosen to make public. The way you have reacted confirms to me that I am correct and that your confrontational attitude, wonderful as it is on occasions, is your only inflexible approach. With regards to 'others' leaving the site, I have many many messages from members new and old who have apologised for not visiting anymore but don't enjoy their visits because their opinions are criticised by yourself no matter what they say or do, banter is one thing , but relentless driving away of people who's views you don't share are another. I note you forgot to not mention the entire content of my e-mail, which was intended to be a friendly 'personal' and 'private' communication, so here is a full copy"

What Ho there,
You are a very valued and trusted member of the Org, but it is time for me to say 'lay off' new members, end off! New members are the life and blood of the Org and you have inadvertently taken it upon yourself to scare them off. Without them the server costs cannot be met by the very few sponsors we use, I chose to send this message to you off site because it is a decision that I have made, one that cannot be altered, in essence lay off new members give them a chance. If this seems dictatorial or big brother like then maybe it is, it's my and my son's site we have run for 20 years. So there you have it old son, my way or the highway.
All the best

I note you chose not to mention the 'word from the Ed' forum topic I raised which dealt directly with the issue of 'bullying' new members, I suggest you start your own DITM website, your views will be sought after by all the people I have driven away from the Org, good luck with that one. I have not tried to show any malice, our opinions differ, life, and the Org, will go on. All the best to you

General discussion

Recently we have had a few new members join us, as new members aren't particularly aware of how 'heated' debate can be on the Org, I would ask that members 'gently' ease new members in and not be so hostile, after all they are Irons fans.

Jesus wept DITM.
Think you need a reality check and hold your hand up chief. We all make mistakes.
You no nothing of the Eds story and what he's done to make this forum viable and sustainable, none of us really do.
I take the piss 24/7 as I think life should be like that, but that's poor trying to call him out and you've misjudged this one IMO.
Anyway. Big love for the future.

Me for one,and a few of us being of the older generation,and being on here for many years,you must consider that some of the newer names coming on may be alot younger,and so will not know the club as well as we do,or may not see the team as we do,or we as they do,this must be appreciated,you cannot be bombastic or sharp with an in put if you dont agree,then there are some ladies that might like to join in......i remember a couple of years ago where someone,cant remember their name,came on here and stated that you cant put on what you feel as there is the Org Police,that chase you off,thats not on,you may remember that Nev,and so may many others.

I think Nev has highlighted the issue, what I took umbrage to is airing dirty laundry in public. No need for that.
I actually thought we always got on to be fair. You always seemed as stubborn as me, but I respected your opinion.
I'm willing to hold a hand out as life's too short.

Just when we maybe on the precipes of something that every one of us has been hoping for our editor and one of our most popular posters have a falling out ,at a time when the world MAYBE on the brink of catastrophe, when we should all be sticking together I humbly ask you both to put this aside and come together again in friendship, nothing is worth two friends falling out over something so futile so let the two of you have a virtual hand shake and forget it ,even a virtual hug if need be .
Any way frickin spurs will have a field day if this gets out , Sully & Gold will come to blows in the boardroom ,the Barroness will go into early menopause and th F T index will go through the floor ,so come on you guys ,in weeks to come we'll have a good laugh over this
