Tony,

The only time I go off the edge as you put it, is when I receive postings such
as the one I received from halfwits such as David Mayall, I posted his reply to
me because I believe the group has a right to no when they are dealing with
idiots(read all the posts and replies about Train Drivers are losers)

I haven't been encouraging anybody to bag the crap out of anybody, I have been
stating my opinion(my given right in this country and this forum), I don't have
a big problem with guards, gunzels or too many other people for that matter,
and in the past have tried to help people with genuine inquiries.(maybe you
should have read all my postings and replies)instead of reading a select
few(then you may be able to make an honest and informed statement)

And from what I've seen there is plenty of unrest within the group with or
without those individuals you have singled out as the only supposed
troublemakers

Have you bothered to read the postings from David Mayall, I would hardly say
that he is just misinformed, he is a moron and has made comments that I find
offensive(he isn't fit to even look at the people who rescued survivors at
Granville).

I don't think this guy is a reasonable human being so he doesn't deserve to be
afforded that courtesy.

Maybe if you just didn't pop in and checked things more frequently you would
find things aren't as bad as you think.

Look forward to your response(feel free to email me if you would like to
discuss this privately)
