Fair play, Danny, I can but bow to the rules as they are laid down.
If you feel the need, prune away - I do agree to some extent that this could be construed as counter productive behaviour on my part but perhaps in actually speaking up we may all move towards changing things to make stuff STRONGER.
I don't wish to cast aspersions on what people should/shouldn't be listening to and I will admit that basically that's what this thread has caused me to do, or it sure reads like that. It is, in some respects, shameful I concur. I'm sharing my point of view and should have paid more heed to the rules before doing so. However, once again I'd say that (as with the nanny state and Britain itself) cottonwooling and mollycoddling of certain outmoded ideals isn't neccesary the best idea. It's possible we can all be so much better, the entry of EGO into the debate refired me somewhat. If it's EGO based then what's the point ? If everything you write/do is amazing and lauded as such then what's the point in continuing - you've already hit your peak. To quote your countryman (sorry looool) "Things can only get better"
Right, amen to this I'm away off again for another massive chunk of time - just thought I'd drop by to see what was going on and already I've unintentionally rattled it up to defcon 1. Can't take me anywhere, honestly ;-)
Like I said, delete if you feel the need or leave for posterity - Consider my gob closed on the subject.
