Yes I know, and thanks to some sterling detective work by one of the mods, he's still posting on here, but under a different name to Jaysay.
Didn't mention that in the Observer when he slagged this forum off, did he?

Amazing what you learn using a bit of detective work, especially when some people use email addresses owned and provided by our very own Hyndburn Borough Council.
Well how he thinks we are a "Britcliffe-hating clan" beats me. I dont live in the borough but after comments and the reading of articles in various forms its no wonder it is at this stage. I as you all know was down and found the town a disgrace esp. Broadway. To add a bit of salt to the wound I prefer Rawtenstall TC to Accy TC. Regardless of who is in power the town comes first which it isnt as there seems to be a heap of fighting in the council going on. Its time they (the council) took heed of what the public on here are saying.
One question they might be able to answer is since when did Huncoat extend to
The Bowling Club on Burnley Road.
Its the instant reply that they get on here that puts the fear into them.
In letters to the press they have time to answer any response something they cant do on here as that means thinking on their feet.

Yes sad that. We, who cover all the political spectrum, feel able to use Accy Web to say what we believe, as well as Greg Pope and Graham Jones, but the local Tories aren't confident enough in their skills to post....at least not openly.

What other reason could there be apart from the whips banning em?
Just checked, and twice you rejected Peter Britcliffe.
I was living in London then.
Well done you lot.

Can it be that they are LibDems in disguise as they associated with yellow?
Either that or being blue means they think they can look down and ignore people.

I think you have made a good point, they probably think that we don't know how place, by our comments on here. After all they do consider that they were born to rule us - and don't like the pesants getting above their station in life.
I also think, that it was a valid point, raised (I think by Garinda ), that on here they need to give a quick reply, but can take their time to compose a reply to a letter to the Observer.
To be fair, not everyone can respond straight away, there are management/leadership tests that place you in a matrix, some people are naturally impulsive and response/act immediately, some prefer to consider their options and respond in a more timely manner, neither is right or wrong. I fall heavily in the responds quickly catagory but during a leadership initiative I was selected for I found an ally in a girl who was my alter ego. Between us we learnt how each other POV would be different and together we made an awesome team, she tempered my quick responses and I drove out her confidence in making a reasoned decision quickly. It balanced nicely and we rarely lost a debate.
I do believe they are missing an opportunity to discuss and defend their policies and to be seen to be accountable though.

If it was me, then I disagree with myself.
The beauty of a forum like Accy Web is that it gives everyone a voice. Unlike a debate you don't have to be a good orator, or have to think too quickly on your feet. You can take your time to consider what you want to say, and even spelling and grammar is irrelevant to a point, as in the past some very good and interesting posts have been made on here without much evidence either of those two things.
It's what you say that is important, not how you say it, in my opinion.
when Tim O Kane was Labour leader of the Labour group on Hyndburn Council, he was the object of John Farrar's attention, regularly doing verbal battle in the Accrington Observer, never once did he get the better of Tim. Both of these gentlemen are known to me, as now is Gary,(rindy) and I can assure all our members the outcome will be the same.
Have no mercy with this 'windbag' gary go get him.

I have decided to show mercy on those less fortunate than myself.
It was never my intention to enter into a long winded correspondence with Mr. Farrer via the letter pages of the Observer, mainly because I fear it would give him pleasure.
We know he reads the forum, even though he hasn't posted for a while. Therefore he now knows that his wild accusation of bias towards Labour on Accy Web, is totally untrue.
Besides, I'd hate to be the one who caused him to use another wrong word in a public domain, and the ensuing embarrassment that might cause. As an ex-primary school teacher, perhaps his chum Peter Britcliffe could teach him the correct use of the word disenfrancise.
If anyone else here cares to write to correct him, that is up to themselves.
