@ Stuart, I'm sorry people are having a go on the Overload board, I think this party is in a really good cause - it just seems to have kicked off a debate about the sensibility of having an 8 year old kid playing in that environment. I can see from the set timing and your responses that you've been careful to shield him a little from the worst excesses, but others are just concerned about the concept thats all. Keep posting there Stuart, as you said yourself you've had sound people from OL come up and introduce themselves to you - it's a pity they haven't as been vocal in defending your intentions as those who are questioning them.
Yeah they can debate about it I have no problem with that, but they were bringing my conscience up in the debate, my judgment and integrity and also they were debating in such away that it sounded like I was picking a kid out of no where who had never been in a club before and throwing him into the lions den. I ended up the focus of their debate.
I wouldn't put a child in any danger he is going to be well look after, his parents are going to be there, they wouldn't allow him to play in clubs if he was in any danger, It's all very well supervised and has to be. He plays all over the place. this is something they do regularly.[/quote]
