Re: two faces of CHTR

I just can't work it out, they're tryin to be funny now, or so they say

So because Anthony has the sanction of his board, it must be OK, and
perhaps even correct, but no, I don't think so.  No board is holier than
thou, nor does a reply to an individual fromn a board mean the next reply
has to be direst to that board. 

So I replied

Alas Anthony, just because the Board of Directors of CHTR attempt dismally
to be tongue in cheek and instead come out as being reasonably insulting,
does not mean that the next reply has to come from the Steamrail Board.  I
am the one taking offence at what you have done, not the board.  Quite
frankly, I have better things to do then take this up with the board.
If you had replied to me to start with saying, 'OK you sook, we'll rip the
photo off the web page you miserable bastard' and then written what you
have on the web page I wouldn't have had a problem, but because you choose
to be two faced about it, I choose to continue to take offence at it.


You can pass on to the board of CHTR Anthony that I take offence at the
comments posted on the web page and would appreciate them being removed.
I'm sure you would not appreciate it if we pulled off the photos from your
web page, posted them on ours and then titled them 'Oh dear, some
unrestored rotting railmotors'
Go back to your creche (oops I mean board of directors) and work on your
sense of humour.  Besides, if I reply via the board, I can't be nearly as
unsubtle.
