I am not taking sides and certainly do not agree with members making personal attacks against others on the forum, however, I did think their posts were of value to the forum. I did not agree with most of what they said but it was nice to hear their views on why they thought JB was guilty. I also learned a little more about the family because of what they had to say.
I must say Mike that the information on this site is excellent and as a newbie I have and am still learning a lot, but just because members have differing opinions to you that does not mean that they should be banned. If you want this forum to just have members who agree with what you are saying all of the time then you will not have a forum. I think you are trying to control what members say and this should not be able to happen. Your language to other people is not acceptable and if Andrea had said that to you then she would have been banned but as the owner of the forum you will not. Very very unfair.
I am not happy but will not leave so there if you want to ban me you can. I will, however, offer my full sincere apologies if personal attacks have been made and led you to your decision.
Well, thanks for your point of view, but for my part I am not taking any more crap from anybody, if you could see the abuse I am getting from everywhere you might understand why I took the decision I did. The other thing is these people have been deliberately trying to goad and wind me up to try and get the sort of reactions that I responded with to try and get the forum shut down, because they don't like the information and evidence that is being posted or talked about. The only way to prevent this from succeeding is to ban individuals who take the approach they took. I am not normally keen to ban anyone but they have gone too far, and in any event they can always set up their own forum and talk amongst their selves, say what they want to each other, call me all the names under the sun, but at least they will be doing it on their own forum, so I wish them luck in that particular quest...
Of course anyone can choose to leave this forum at any stage, I have no control over that unless anyone gets abusive then of course i will ban them immediately because I am not putting up with it any more, and I am fed up of being drawn into using the kind of language these individuals have been drawing from me. Let them wind each other up, in their own little space, and leave me to have my say here on my own forum...
