I didn't turn a blind eye to anything. Abuse? I think some here left themselves open to ridicule eg the late MT, Lookout and Graham.
I am going to try to draw a line under this because I get really angry when I remember it all. Some here, including those who are now friendly but were attacked by you, vigorously opposed you being allowed back. It is because I recognise that you contribute a lot as a result of your detailed research into the case and insight into the key elements that I have encouraged your participation here. I got some flak for this I can assure you.
You have brought a lot to the discussion because your in depth research into some key aspects of the case has been exceptional. We have discussed it privately and you know my views on it. However you should not be any doubt that I do not forget your friendly banter with some of the worst scum to infest the internet. Some of this banter was on the offending threads on the forum you moderate. You knew what you were doing and were happy with it. You now say you were not aware of it but I am afraid that is not true. It was disgusting on any level.
