    Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If you are going to defend your Board Guides where they have been wronged, then you also owe it to apologise for them when they are doing the wronging.

    As it is, it seems to be fair game for Board Guides to come over here and start poking. That needs to stop. Your Board Guides are not perfect, although I do understand that they are above criticism.

    Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
    Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
    By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
    To dissolve the people
    And elect another?

    try reading Martin's post a bit more carefully, before you start dictating to him what the forum's policy should be

    no personal attacks, you've been asked loads of times today

    I have no pretension to dictate policy. But I am not going to pretend I think this has been dealt with even handedly.

    I have asked that there are no more personal attacks. I would like this board to go back to being a fair discussion and stop talking about what individuals have done.

    As the owner of the site I have a duty to protect those who volunteer and work for me from such. If you cannot abide by that, then you cannot post here.

    I can't make it more clear than that. Please do not push me into a corner or I will have to start making decisions we'll both find unpleasant. Lets leave this now.

    Regards

    Martin
