Who were you referring to in the comment you made Crow (the one about anglers being threatened with violence)?
Why did you not simply answer my question which was meant to clarify its ambiguity for anyone reading this thread, including the comments before you made that one it is very suggestive, being that we are discussing one named person ( I certainly took it to mean that but again I ask you to clarify it).
I don't know Mr Easom (I've said this more than once now) I had read his blog (which I enjoyed reading and it gave me a certain level of inspiration too) I found this thread while searching for more information about him and what I found was an active witch hunt accross a few different forums that to my knowledge is still clouded in mystery.
If I'm to defend anything it should be the truth, which has nothing to hide from scrutiny, envy and false claims made by a few bitter lemons.
Without a few questions regarding the source (or reliability of it) of the witch hunt I can make a better informed opinion as to whether there was any truth in it to begin with, I know you don't have a problem with that because you never lie (you told me so) if that defines being vociferous then I guess you are right, I am.
I've seen many people suffer character assassinations because they have a certain get up and go attitude to life, I'm aware the arena of business is one frought with many such tactics, I've suffered it myself, so I know how much damage it can cause also so its worth checking the facts, would you agree?
