Now, I may be wrong, Simon, but just because people disagreed with the decision you made, that doesn't make it a witch hunt
No, but in my opinion personal attacks do. I work on the premise that I would never say anything to anyone online that I would be unwilling to say to their face. I have not attacked anyone personally, nor will I.
You were the first person to attack people by more than implying that their opinions didn't matter because they were new to this forum and/or had few posts. You did so because you read tthe first few posts as "attacks" on your decision, even though they were quite fair, and most were simply trying to make sense of it. And let me once again remind you, that you were the one who allowed people to respond to the decision.
Secondly, you quote Boshly to me in your responses. Andy (Boshly) is his own man and writes as he sees fit.
No, I didn't quote him, I mentioned him, because
his posts were the reason you got the responses you quoted to me.Whilst he is a moderator of this site, I do not tell him how to feel, what to think or what to say. Like everyone else on Talk Morgan he is entitled to this opinion and some of those I agree with, some of them I do not. Confusing the two of us, or blurring the line between what we say/mean, is wrong in my opinion.
I am not confusing anything or anyone. His posts were crucial in steering the discussion in the direction it did, and crucially, they illicited the responses you now refer to as part of the "witch hunt".
Furthermore, as per my initial comment, PaulJ made sweeping statements, which were directed at this site and myself; therefore, my comments stand - this is now less about an issue some owners are unhappy with and more about attempting to cast aspersions on certain members of this site (myself included).
Seriously, Simon, you need to calm down. You allowed people to respond and ponder a decision you made. Of course not all will agree. What made this discussion really bad was Boshly's attempt to bully people into submission, and basing his misplaced defense on your post regarding people's post count.
As I see it, the thing you did wrong was crying foul because people responded to the decision in the very thread you allowed them to do. As for the discussion in this thread as a whole, Boshly exacerbated this by his attempt to shut down discussion because he knew you and you're not a bad person (noone said you were, but that's Boshly for you).
