To all the detractors of the detractors
You will see from the copy of the post below, that while several detractors posted, MANY do not like to make waves but felt they wanted to let Felix know they supported his views, as I did.
NOTHING will stop me questioning a fellow member and I will do it without shouting or swearing or using the juvenile remarks of some senior members and moderator. And I INVITE anyone to question me on any post I make - why shouldn't they?
What was noticeable was that none of the detractors of the detractors(acknowledgements to Trader333 for that phrase) gave any solid, or even weak, arguments, but resorted to general slagging off. The detractors mostly referred to specifics.
I had intended that my post on Saturday would be the last on this subject. But after seeing the 'triumphal' post about something happening in January that Mr C considers will upset the detractors greatly and he appears deliciously happy about, I thought NO, if the detractors of the detractors want to keep it going, fine.
By the way MR C, unless anything happening on the 301/1 makes me lose money I, and I assume the other detractors, won't give a *&$* what you do. If it is commendable I will post and say so - now I can't be more magnanimous than that. But, as you know, if anyone disagrees with 'IT', you know it will be commented on/questioned/ disagreed with. SO DON'T COMPLAIN (sorry, whinge) if you voluntarily do something that invites comment.
I was surprised that some of Naz and Mr C's rants weren't edited by the moderator; being specific is one thing, but calling a whole group of members ( ie. those newbies, learners and others, who can't read a chart and work something out) clueless and idiots is just not on. Maybe it's a new marketing method to get everyone to go on a course and wise up! But, of course, the moderator was Skim who is so biased against the detractors that they went through. Mind, it does mean that others can post similar without fear of being edited, doesn't it?!?
If a moderator is so against a group of posters, do they stand down from their moderating duties while joining in the debate ie post under their name without the Moderator status? Is that a reasonable question to ask Sharkey, or will I be accused of detracting a moderator.
On a lighter note, after reading how pleased Mr C was that his dinner guests made much merriment on reading the posts, I printed some off this morning, photocopied them and gave them to a few colleagues.
We've now started using the word Detractor to anyone who asks us a question including, most of our customers (after the telecon has ended) and how we've laughed! It's the current 'IN' joke at the moment. I, of course have been labelled Chief Detractor. It's all good hearted fun though.
I Think this post is well worth repeating:

Thanks
Wow what can I say? I just wanted to say thanks for all the emails and personal messages everyone has sent to me. I just had no idea of the level of support out there from so many of the silent viewers on this site but I will stick to what I have said and quieten down.
Once again many thanks
Felix
Good on you Felix
