Once again, I can only ask, what is this all about?
If it is personal villification to point out that nothing you are posting lately makes much sense, then so be it.
I mean, what about this stuff you posted earlier.
Yes my rhetoric and rant has been over the top. I hope most people can see the wood from the trees. I don think the debate is one sided and agenda driven, but i must admit i have been having a bit of fun as well.
You see i dont really care who is on the board, it is a non issue to me. I am just enjoying playing both sides at the moment.
I dont see things as some do in black and white, here are three sides to every story, and then not all of them are the truth.
I just wish that some i have accused of being pro Westaway acolytes woud stop and think past the subjective and emotional response. I mean really, some is so knee jerk and reactionary that it needs an alternate view.
If people can see that my heart is not in the pro board debate, they aren't reading my posts. I have never backed Butters and in many posts I have stated it is time to go.
I am sorry, I just cant stand the mob mentality I have seen here lately, it smacks of intimidation and continual division.
This is my biggest beef, I have nothing against Westaway. he will in all probability be a good president, I just want to hear both sides of the argument without one part being continually shouted down. What really got my back up was threats by pro Westaway mods, one on the public forum, but nothing going the other way.
Stifling debae has never occured on SS except for when it gets personal. Again this concerns me. I dont want a club where no dissenting voices are heard. I dont want an internet version of Burma here.
I have a few comments about this peculiar post.
First of all, you have been abusive and aggressive to lots of people, including me, in a large number of posts, but now seem to want to suggest that you were "only joking". Hysterical.

Don't give up your day job and try to get work as a stand-up comic.
Then you tell us that you don't really support Butters, you couldn't care less who is on the board, and that your "heart is not in" what you are saying. So why do you spend so much time and energy posting on here? I'm sorry, I simply don't believe you on this. If you don't like the people who support Westaway, then you must be on the side of the current board but - for some reason that I haven't fathomed but could have something to do with lack of ticker - don't want to come out openly as a supporter.
You then claim that you want to hear both sides of the debate without one side being shouted down. Well, I'm sorry, but most of the shouting down that has taken place on this forum over the past 12 months has been directed towards the people who don't like Butterss.
I note that virtually every pro-Westaway post I have read on here always includes a comment about acknowledging the good work that the current Board managed to do until they lost the plot. On the other hand, I have seen lots and lots of posts from pro-Butterss people on here that are full of vitriol and that even make wild claims about GT, Bedwell or even Lindsay Fox being secretly behind the challenging group. I have also seen lots of insults against Burke's intelligence. I have also read you describe Westaway as being "gutless" on countless occasions because he won't go on TV.
I really can't work out where you are coming from, "mate", and I doubt that I am the only person on this forum who feels the same way.
I hate having to attack you like this, as I generally enjoy your posts and sense that you are a reasonable sort of bloke. But, FFS!!!!
