The Water Is No Longer Fine

[Sturdee]

Thank you , for switching of the rep points and if I can help in assisting in finding a solution please let me know.

Although I agonized a long while over my post, and I don’t regret what I said, with the benefit of hindsight I now realise that I was wrong in going about it the way I did. I should have waited until Neil was back on deck and I should have contacted the administrators first by way of a private message before posting.

I caused unnecessary grief to both the administrators and the members of this board for having failed to do so. I sincerely apologize to all and would urge any member if they face a similar situation not to do what I did but discuss it first with the administrators. , I particularly would like to thank you for your forbearance, your task is not easy and I made it unnecessarily more difficult.

I was heartened and surprised by the messages of support I received, I am sure that this was not necessarily for me personally but more in support of the issue. I don’t want to single anyone out however I will mention Woodborer’s support. This was even more unexpected in so far as we have had robust discussion in the past. Whilst we belong to different groups within this board we both respect each other’s point of view. The fact that this issue did not degenerate in a slinging match is a measure of maturity that I greatly appreciate.

Nevertheless the phrase “ Flouncing out of high dudgeoon” did hurt. Whilst it may have been true of kenmil it was not the case of Ozwinner and the spelling issue. In fact he helped to improve the board and as such he should not be castigated but congratulated. I personally also refute this but acknowledge that Rocker, instead of throwing anonymous raspberries or blueys, spoke up and said what he believed which was the very issue I was fighting for.

Now end of speech, let’s do what said and get back to woodworking.

P.s. you might wish to close this thread.

Hi Peter good to see you back, as for the humble pie, maybe we should get together some time and trade pie, I also have some unfinished hat you may be interested in shareing with me.


Cheers, Allan

....maybe we should get together some time and trade pie,

Must do that one day, I also want to see the drum sander in action. BTW I agree with you that there must be something in our water that makes us irrational.
