The only dissenting voice was that of Shambles.

Who just happened to be the originator of the thread and whoever that originator was, their views and wishes should be respected and perhaps their opinion could be sought before any action is taken?

I did not ask for the thread to be linked to the other PEL threads, the linking just happened, following the fact that I had included it my thread with all the PEL links- fair enough.

Jeri then decided it was a mistake and unlinked it. Following my comments, she very kindly re-linked it and now Big Brother Brown has decided to ignore all that and finally decide that it will be un-linked again...............And then accuses me of manipulation?

This is a very small issue, does it really need to be treated in this heavy, unfriendly and plainly unecessary way?
Max said.
We are a group, a whole. We are together because we share at least some common interest. We may not all see eye to eye on everything, but the Mudcat IS the sum of all its parts. I challenge you to make it work.

Does this make me a brat then? Is anyone who does not agree with Joe, and by this apparently challenges his authority, a brat and to be treated as all the other brats are? Is this really the way to make Max's vision work?

Then they came for me

Am I really the only person who finds Joe's Big Brother - brown comments in this thread intrusive, offensive and unacceptable and completly at odds with the spirit of Mudcat and the thoughts and wishes of Max?
