Beer Beast put me in an impossible position.
The Digger 38 (which will be online in the right place tommorrow) does contain.. amongst several other excellent articles of real relevance to archaeology in the UK today... the 'problem' letter.
In fact... most of the letter is perfectly valid.... the only bit that I disagree with (and [u]had </u>edited accordingly after talking wpreviously with Beer - for the online version) was the section on seeing photo of Oxford Archaeology buildings going up in smoke and a directors head on a stick. These IMHO ruined the letter which was in general a fair summation to anyone who has not got there eyes glued together.
So there you go Beer... you had your wish for BAJR to make a statement... and act accordingly. The letter has been edited in such a way that it does not damage the flow of the letter and was also backed up by a careful sentence on why I have done it (I do not like censorship without explaining why)
One line in one letter and suddenly BAJR is full of anarchist idiots and the Digger is a rag produced by a political extremist - strong words indeed. Whats going on.?
Now that you know I have edited the letter for the online version, and do not agree with the words used in that particular line of text..... what about you.
You have some hard descisions to make too.
I serve archaeology and truth.... do you wish to explain your comments about 'anarchist idiots' - are these CBA, IFA or Britarch policies? I seem to getting on very well with them just now. Does he feel that Archaeology companies are 'perfect' and have no need to listen to people who have a beef?
You have forced this issue and put lights around it.... My stance is clear and I feel it is fair... what is yours.
Perhaps you could contact me and explain why you have acted in this way... :face-confused:
Another day another WSI?
