Bare bum wrote:Shame really. There's clearly a lot of time and effort gone into these posts. And there's nothing wrong with scrutiny. In fact, some of the questions about wasting public funds and politician / business collusion are valid questions. Some folk might have been interested or swayed had the argument been more coherent (and backed with real or any evidence). Knightrider is clearly passionate about what he or she or ze believes but it all evaporates for me once the sinister stuff emerges.
By sinister
I mean the use of the words PAL and PALS only to people who disagree or criticise or defend a position (for me that can read quite menacing);
the relish in which people are named and personal details posted - as if somehow a valuable public service is being provided exposing a secret and self-serving cartel when most of us here know different about those individuals named (for me that contains an element of spite and unpleasantness);
the toying around and shifting of identity is in itself disturbing on a psychiatric basis - in fact I had become a little disconcerted by Knightrider's music link to the final countdown before setting off to the meeting at the club last week. It occurred to me this also sounded very, very menacing.
I do hope the indicated menace is only an ill-conceived expression of frustration and not something more sociopathic. Perhaps you could re-assure me there KR?
If this person wants to be an effective communicator and defender of the public good then in future they need to take heed of how better to win friends and more importantly influence people..........For me it's too late this time
Your first paragraph in my opinion is commendable then as Mr Williams mentioned to me at our first meeting having read some of my posts before I met him your getting the usual establishment technique personal attacks in order to maintain and protect the status quo; i.e those in control and added just as he and Mrs Williams did before the club had its heart ripped out and what could the fatal move was instigated -
(a) playing the man not the ball, and
(b) shooting the messenger
He informed me that the Principal Objector to Blobbygate, Brigadier Mike Ford told him this. Something he has not forgotten from a "genius and remarkable man"
The rest of your post uses the above establishment technique and replicates the personal attacks by the majority on here, circa ten posters if that. I refer to them as the round up gang which based on the evidence of your post you appear to be in - my opinion.
I have not come here to win friends, nor did I or Mr Williams attend the forum to win friends. We have one thing in common we are both passionate about Morecambe and want to see MFC Ltd survive and get out of the hole the previous management put it in.
You really need to carefully analyse the evidence. Most of the posters expend their limited energy on trying to find out who Knightrider is when what is really important is the message, knowing the truth, learning from it and mistakes and evolving positively and progressing. Who the messenger is in my opinion irrelevant.
Your vile offensive indication that I have a mental health problem is typical of that establishment tactic used by the offenders and non compliant posters. Thanks for your concern but I'm fine thank you.
As regards "menacing" and "unpleasantness" how ironic and pot and kettle springs to mind. If you actually read the non compliant with the forum rules posters here they are menacing - Simply Red - "take a look in the mirror baby"
Then we have in my opinion the no. 1 menace and bully on this forum Mr Brian Sheldon, monickers on this forum Gnasher, Phoenix et al ( Mr Potato Head? or they may just be his apprentice!).
But whats really ironic regarding your strong word "menace" is that in the Beano COMIC the main characters were Denis the Menace and Gnasher. You really couldnt make it up.
I would have expected the Trust or others to have asked. Were you there PAL? I doubt it.
