I've just checked this thread and I have to say that I wholeheartedly agree with you tjj. I am vehemently opposed to a ring road, and of course, all our voices are of equal worth and merit, pro or against. We can and should debate and discuss freely and civilly.
I never suggested a ring-road as a definitive solution it was an alternative suggestion....but you wholeheartedly agree with tjj after checking the thread.......which in turn means that you agree with her my quoting of Stukeley was inappropriate..which is what she pulled me up about....you'll know this as you checked...yes?
I can't understand it...not long after the warning from the Ed's is taken down..the "I say what I want and nobody had better disagree with it or I'll play the martyr and rally my sycophants around me" brigade leaps into full throttle and woe-betide anyone crossing the party-line, their rights to post anything freely and civily are forgotten....debating is not berating.
It's little wonder new posters are afraid to come on here!

I honestly don't know what you're getting in such a blather about. I meant that agree wholeheartedly with tjj re. 'no ring road'. If I wanted to get talking abolut Stukeley, I would have. As for putting people off, I think your attitude is rather unnecessary and could possibly have exactly that effect on a browser/potential contributor.

I can understand you being mighty surprised to be told that famous Stukeley quote was inappropriate. I would have thought it was the most appropriate quote in the history of the world for a thread titled Developments at Avebury. It's a puzzle.
