"Your view is that I do not have a very good debating style. Perhaps you would accept other posters may feel that I do, that I am saying exacly what they may wish to and that they will watch while I take all the public 'stick' that seems to be the result of trying to discuss certain issues on our forum?"
No, I don't see such evidence. There are people who agree with you, including me, but I see very few that agree with the level of importance that you place on it.

" Such a view is possible? "
Anything is possible, but is it probable?

" Yours may be one view?"
Well duh!   

Of course, my view could also be shared by hundreds, as could yours. Not that any of our views matter.

" And where is the support here for the (for the record) statement? "
Apparently the support is there from the owner of this site. That is all that is needed.

"this the equivalent of the shop's manager complaining about the staff to the customers and to the customers about the staff and telling the shop's owner that they require the hairdressers shop to be changed into a chip shop.

Such a statement does little to help the morale of the staff, very little to encourge the existing customers or any new ones who still turn up expecting their hair to be done ."
So? The owner of the store can take the business in any way they choose. True, it may hurt the morale of the staff and customers, but the business decision is not theirs to make.

"You will notice that I will not make any personal judgement of your worth, in my post but will continue try to discuss the issue."
Seems like a statement like that just made a judgement about Jerry. It appears that you feel superior to Jerry by saying things like that.

You don't have the option of controlling how people discuss issues. It is not your job to moderate and your suggestions are not being taken seriously because of the way you are supposedly "discussing" this issue. Shutting down other views and turning yourself into a martyr does not help your case.

"But the other option is for those complainers to start one of their own."
Let us know where you start one. I will be sure to visit.
