Thank you for your warm welcome yesterday.
In hindsight my opening post was a bit stupid by putting the word 'FACT' at the end and this obviously started you all off. Its not fact, but it is a bit more than just my opinion.
I've often been called a fencesitter by those who post both on here and ThisIs, at the moment that is correct. FBen thank you for your post I know it wasn't posted to back me up, it was for all those other Fencesitters and there are a hell of a lot of them out there, who could quite easily be put off my the ganging up tactics of Trust members on forums, and that is how I feel, I have an alternative view and because I don't toe-the-line of the militant side of The Trust I and others like me take a pasting.
My stance changed last year, I was pro-board until September 2006 and then realised I was wrong, very wrong.
When Bill Power was named as the finance behind The Consortium I was pleased like most others and could see the end of this corrupt board.
I even thought of joining the Trust, but as stated before I decided not to because of the aggression shown by Trust posters.
I supported The Orange protests, but not the protests at the back of The Arkells.
I am not convinced the Consortium have acted any different through the media than the antics shown by the current board and both imo have come out of this badly.
My point is - why should I a fencesitter believe everything the Trust/Consortium tell me because I don't, the same goes for The Board, but The Trust supporters inform others with great confidence that every single word that has ever been published from The Board are lies and deceit.
I'm always willing to listen to both sides even if I dont agree with them, maybe some of you should try being a bit flexible, if you dont you will find fewer and fewer fencesitters will join your crusade.
well done, it's not difficult to justify your own opinions is it? perhaps if you did this a little more often instead of being deliberately polemic in order to garner a reaction then people might treat you with a bit more respect.
