Simon, this thread was at first an expression of my dismay of how someone could pick up on a word in one thread and use it to either make a point or to take a snipe at something they objected to. Following on from that it was suppose to reflect my personal realisation that this person held a valid point and that I do always speak out in condemnation of something or other every time I visited Accrington. What I wanted was this person to perhaps come forward so that we could enter a wider discussion on why we have such different views on the same subject. A town we both love yet hold different perspectives on, that person has yet to enter the discussion.

And by the way I think this individual who took points in respect of the word “condemn” had every right to do so if that he or she was offended. Above all else my point was to let this individual know that what they said did make me think…….had he or she left their name, I would have taken this matter up with a pm, not in the open. So Simon I strongly disagree with you opinion that this is a cry for sympathy or Karma. I do however offer you my respect for the fact that you have the bollocks to come forward and say what you feel.

I’ll most likely find something else to whinge about this afternoon.
