Dear Mods.
I know you have banned certain members from this site.
In the main I probably disagreed with your reasoning but it’s your site so sadly I let it go. Were they disrupting. Perhaps but sometimes we don’t see what’s behind things.
However this forum seems recently to have just become a site of unhappiness, anger and bitterness and I can put it down to just one person.
His non de plume is Julius.
I have no idea who he is or indeed where he resides because it’s never disclosed. Frankly now I just don’t care anymore.
But sadly whichever thread I want to look at, review or participate it’s invariably contaminated and corrupted by this individual.
They are terribly harsh words but I can’t lie and say that they are not true.
I used the word sadly because I live in a live and let live world but even for me I have come to realize enough is enough.
I have stopped enjoying the forum. I never thought I would say it but there it is.
I have learnt much and enjoyed the views of much wiser heads than mine during this time.
Some truly great members have seen to have disappeared and I truly regret that.
But there are still some wonderful knowledgable chaps on the site to keep it going and hopefully going strong in the future.
In all these years of participating I have seen photographs and descriptions of jackets of all types and they have made me adapt my buying and wants list.
I have valued the time reading the various threads and have continued to be educated more than I could rightfully ask.
But I believe if Julius continues to remain on this forum it will continue to severely damage it.
I have no right to say it’s him or me so I guess I must walk away but please to keep other members from repeating my folly and to make it once more an enjoyable experience for many, consider please his position on this forum.
Why does the majority of threads now have to become a war of words these days.
One of hate and lies and mistrust and deep anger.
Why when pushed are there no answers to questions only more accusations and threats.
There are no shades of grey. Only a dogmatic Black and White which if you fail to agree makes you in the wrong.
Compromise. No never.
It develops finally along to the same conclusion - always the whole world is against me and then a respite and disappearance but for never long enough.
Anyway there it is.
