Bob your thread as some have stated was not removed,your notice is still there, and as you see causing disruptions on the site because of it being locked and the reason why, is it a matter for web sites ?? cant make up my mind, but will give the benefit of the doubt, and your post will be their for all to see, yes there is a lot of ill will in the sport today Bob and lots of us get the backlash, if I was to post all the bad mouthing I get and post it up on this site I think most members would get fed up with it, anyway your post is there and still serving its purpose to let others see what does happen in the sport at times, but don't want it to keep going and having to move posts etc which as you see takes the goodness away from the enjoyment of the site,so will lock it, anyone wanting to make comments etc to Bob can do so by PM, or e-mail, all other threads regarding this matter will be moved, thanks for your cooperation ,
