Roy , I don't think you received anything like the level of abuse or personal attacks many others have received here and are still here posting .What is wrong with disagreeing , isn't that exactly what you are doing with your idea ? Appeals to “ common sense “ (don't you realise everyone has common sense and are often wrong ) “thinking out the box” ,”using your eyes and brains “ “don't be afraid to break the mould “ ( lol) are all meaningless platitudes , that's what we all do , what matters is not the appealing but the quality of the argument . You mention not believing your peers and “experts “ that also goes without saying , of course question everything , (btw your peers are those who post on here ) but there is no need for continual disparaging remarks about those who are not here to defend their views , but if somebody says that about you , you take offence .
There were than just the “'How do you research a Quoit "correctly" '? questions left unanswered and I hope you return to answer them and continue with other non Trethevy centred posts too .

Hi Tiompan, I feel partly to blame for all this and therefore with goodwill to those I respect on this forum, am throwing in the towel with some relief, and not about the latest debacle which is so surreal ;) ;)

The reason why Roy left is because he cannot stand the aggressive behaviour on his thread; personally I would have closed it long ago but then.......... But I feel I do have to say something because a reply directed at me by Evergreen Dazed - which I did take note of but then refused to be drawn into an argument by the latter’s somewhat vindictive reply - my mistake ;). For a long time I have supported TMA because I hate conflict, aggressive behaviour and cruelty but no more! These things I am quite happy to fight in the real world, where real cruelty applies to both humans and animals, which seem so much more important than the written cruelty on this forum, and the need for people to score points – for Christ’s sake what is all that about??

I am fond of many people on TMA, you included tiompan, and in addressing this to you should not be taken in any form and shape as criticism of you, but an indication that the same principal that made me leave Heritage Action also holds firm and true here. So I shall no longer be posting any more, whether it be news, links or heaven forbid having to face saying something on the forum. I really do give up, and will turn my mind to the real world ;)

Love to those I know and admire xxx

p.s. Doubt if you will get rid of Littlestone so easily by the way - those who choose to dislike him so much will find he is much more of a fighter than I am...
