I am glad to see that PAul agrees that A BAJR(ish) presence is a good thing. I would also ask for a cessestion of this thread - it is not a discussion about Rallies, it is one about asking for support at this particular rally.
There is enough S#### in the world without adding to it.
Steves post passes the AUP as far as I am concerned just as Pauls squeezes past as well. THis may be an emotive subject - though I am willing to wait and see what happens rather than discuss what might happen.
I will be reporting on here the full story, warts and all... with a view to seeing where both archaeolgists need to take a look at what they do and how detectorists have to understand what they do. I intend to be fair, even handed and honest. If I feel that I am compromised on my principals I will say so, If I feel that the general attitude is of cooperation and understanding I will say so... The reason I am trusted by both detectorist groups and archaeolgoists is that I have no agenda, no reason to ... and am quite open to views from anyone. I can be swayed and convinced by a convincing arguement if it contains both reasons why what I believe in is wrong AND what can be done to make it better in a positive way. I try not to deal in negatives, in NO's or in though shalt do it because I say so.. (though life would be easier if everyone jsut did as I say!
)
I will not accept any more arguement about rallies on this section of the forum.. they will be deleted... if you wish to er.. discuss Rallies... there is a section for it... but I warn in advance, that constructive discussion is better than just pronouncements or abuse.
I tried to lighten the thread with a joke about liking Ex-Lax.. but as that did not work.. then beware... I am online... I am not going to let this thread be moved in any other direction.
I appreciate both the support and the gentle and polite concerns... These are things that can be understood and dealbt with.. I take them on board, and will be more 'aware' becasue of them.
Thanks y'all!
Another day another WSI?
