Can I start by saying that you beast and Andy have my support and sympathy over what has happened and that I find the behaviour of others concerned childish to say the least, however
I'm struggling to work out how Dave is apparently supporting such behaviour. He specifically states he is being non judgemental. I don't see him as being dismissive by suggesting that this topic might not be the best place to air these concerns.
I don't think anyone has quite worked out what this thread is all about other than for light banter, originally early in the morning, and not just for 1350 pages but for many more in all of the previous versions of RMWeb.
I'm struggling to find several disagreements caused on here by the nays. - a handful of posts with a couple putting forward counter points of view is hardly several disagreements. I suppose the nays have indirectly caused these but only because you chose to discuss these here. Nothing wrong with that, but wouldn't a topic of its own have been more appropriate.
My only concern here is that ER's doesn't get bogged down in any of these disagreements and risk being locked.
Edit: Several posts since I started typing and sad to see you goodbye post. I don't think anyone is belittling the issue, just the choice of ER's to air it.
