  I have the highest respect for simon. He is mature enough to handle critisism. And if i overstepped the mark with the "bandwagon" reference to simon, then i apologise for that.

  Who asked you to rake mud ?

  You did.

  Venetian - can you substantiate your critique of simon on this entire matter from the beginning to the end.

  You also said;

  Why pull him up publicly in the middle of this thread ? when has only done the right thing.

  Well that is a matter of opinion. I was referring to simon's language on here, not his actions. And, Yes I think discussion is healthy, and highlighting problems is fine. But the vitriol levied at AAWA is getting out of hand and way OTT. Calling them PUSSIES as stillthinking has just done for example is unhelpful and just the sort of rhetoric im referring to. Its unkind, unhelpful, spiteful and untrue.

  It saddens me a great deal when the anti-bandwagon gets rolling on here and does so much unnecessary damage in the process.

  Have the two of you actually got anything constructive or substantial to add here ?

  Yes. See my post 92.

  As for my criticism of Simon. I have been on this board for a number of years, alot longer than my post count suggests as I had to re-register and I have always pulled simon up when he displays an inconsistant attitude. Ive done it before and will probably do it again. But I will not mud-rake here for your satisfaction. If I have a problem with Simon, I will direct my posts to him as best I can.

  I can go with that :)

  I don't believe there has ever been a "win at any cost" attitude with AAWA or any other organisation opposed to the WT. I believe that enthusiasm and hard work in building a creditable opposition voice is a good thing but we need to back off from highlighting newborn errors to the point where we reach a fanatical feeding frenzy which this board is inclined to do. Yes errors have been made, and could have been handled differently, but there is no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater at all. The Mission Statement of AAWA is a sound one.

  To everyone.

  This board needs to calm down. A number of posters on here need to climb off the AAWA-wrecker ball bandwagon (and that includes you simon) and think rationally. These people are NOT your enemies, they're genuinely trying hard. What are YOU doing? By your continuing negative rhetoric, you are likely sending any lurkers straight back to the KH probably with the Society's mantra about opposers ringing in their ears.

  Thats not for us to say. Besty is quite able to speak and defend himself in this mmatter. Im sure he will speak to julia in due course, meanwhile, to hypothesize on a worst case scenario in besty's personal situation is unnecessary and none of JWN's business. Just my opinion.

  You may be right here but i dont condone fizzy's continuous stirring. Besty has openly used his real name on here and on freeminds so it s ridiculous to lambast julia for using it on facebook. As for julia's post about besty, well it was a bit OTT for my liking but besty needs to take that up with her, not any of us.
