The last bit of the ww2 section is interesting.
Just saying.
Am not interested in causing another debate.
I still enjoy watching the battle of britain film. First saw it in 73.
I agree, open discussion is good but the subject being discussed is the rights or wrongs of Gavin Frankland obtaining or attempting to obtain the rights to the BLOA name and or images. The make up of the LCGB committee or anyone's opinion of them has nothing to do with the debate at all and only stirs up resentment and muddies the issue imho.eden wrote: ↑Tue Apr 10, 2018 9:51 pm Apparently I said something that upset someone
Seems a two way conversation isn't something that some people comprehend.
Surely if something was said that wasn't correct there is the opportunity here to reply to correct it? If I said something so outrageous that they felt the topic should be shut down I would like to know what that was as I've only commented on what i believe to be true based on my experiences. If I am wrong in something I have said I would appreciate it if they would educate me on those points rather than them just try to shut down conversations with no explanation as to why.
Everyone including me needs more info from both sides to make a final decision where they stand.... Open discussion is the only way that can happen. Being preached too from one side while the other side is being shouted down isn't helping anyone.
TBH the fact LCGB want that other topic locked just reinforces my dim view of them
Can we clear that up at least?
Tim, you are talking out of your arse again and arguing just for the sake of it. The LCGB have done nothing wrong here, they are just defending what any reasonable person would regard as theft of the clubs heritage (legal or not). GF's history and character are central to the argument, the LCGB committee isn't.
Because a chancer like Gavin Frankland tried to steal part of our Club's history and was backed by people like you.
