Ice Pack I am with the others on this one. Email and forum threads do not provide clarity around manner and intention and so can be read in many ways. Right now Peter is probably feeling a reasonable degree of frustration. As I have said in some of my posts I also do not believe it is being handled particularly well but that is literally just my opinion and others are WAY more skilled than I am. When I read yours I see a somewhat combative set of comments where you question others but do not put forward anything to support your own comments. We have an unwritten rule (well I just broke that rule, whoops) of playing the ball not the player on the forum in order to try and maintain a happy community. It is good to discuss and consider but always with a positive contribution in mind. Peter has long been a well studied and positive contributor to the forum and tends to show his logic. If someone chooses to question it then their view is respected as well but it is best done with a solid response quoting facts. I am afraid that your comments do not come across in that manner as I read them. I apologise if that causes offence as it is not intended to.

I am among the least WOKE people (perhaps with the exception of JtL of course - and perhaps the joke section with +8RICH but that's another story) so please don't read this as a holier-than approach, just trying to level out a thread that feels like the wheels might come off given the increasing intensity of the global situation.

I have a 90 y.o. Italian mother-in-law living in Fleet. Her initial response was "B_ll_cks I am not staying in" yet even she is now worried finally, thank god. I take the videos the doctors are starting to share as more evidence than pretty much all of the fluff I see on the TV. Subject to a level of mistrust about anything I read on the web etc. of course. They seem a little more than "worried" to me and are at the pointy end of this. I also applaud the support of the community being shown to them right now.

Not meant in a rude manner, I just think that the forum is a great place and want to keep it that way.

p.s. I am not a mod, just a member.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
