PLEASE READ : A note on Icesave postings

Hi all

We are under no illusions as to the feelings on the Icesave and associated issues. We are being as lenient as possible with the current posts and could easily have chosen to remove any anti Martin / it's all Martin's fault posts. We haven't as we believe everyone is entitled to an opinion and we're doing our best to let everyone speak. This doesn't give us a warm content glow that we are doing so, it's simply a fact that we understand.

We realize how worried people are and are doing everything we can to bring the right information to help. If you choose to blame Martin despite his replies, that's your decision, but once posts move onto personal abuse toward Martin, the MSE team or any other forum user, they are liable to be removed.

This isn't censorship; frankly it's about standards on the forum and decency toward each other at this distressing time. Martin is GUTTED this has happened, and whatever your opinion, please remember that there is a person behind the personality.

I am happy for this post to be linked to if a thread starts to get personal in the hope it will bring things back on track.
