I'd like to clarify my position.
As I hope everyone knows, I write things as I see them, praise or blame. I have been one of the biggest advocates and mouthpieces for the Millennium over the last few years; I have also criticised as and when I saw fit.
As far as I am concerned, that's part of my job in the magazine and in a way this forum is an extension of the magazine's letters page - extended into debate.
The Millennium has taken advantage of this in the past, and so it should, but now it seems that as soon as some negativity comes up then I'm the bad guy and I'm corrupting everyone else. Which kind of suggests that a lot of you have no opinions of your own and are sheep just following me - which I'd find patronising as hell, personally.
The facts as I see them are that the Millennium has made certain announcements which, wehn challenged, they have changed, then changed again. If the board just turns round and says, as Magued seems to be now, 'It's our decision, accept it', then I have no problem with that - cos it is their decision. However, what I have been seeing is political expediency trying to be disguised in a veil of morality - and I don't like the shifting and the dishonesty behind it all.
I have a lot of respect for some of the individuals on the Mill. committee, but judging by the above email it seems like some of them are prepared to use me when it suits them and then try and shut me up when it doesn't, and it doesn't work like that.
And it's also pretty rich that Karlin admin girl saying they (the Millennium Board) should not post or even read anything here on p8ntballer.com when she herself used this self same forum to announce Millennium decisions !!!
So yes, I'll draw a line under all this **** cos I can't be bothered with it anymore, it's doing my head in the way I am always the bad guy when all I'm doing is pointing out errors and inconsistencies -in EXACTLY the same way that I shout all the good things from the rooftops, and will continue to do so.
