I'm finding all this very hard to deal with on a day on which statistics
are issued here in Scotland that show 1 in 4 households witness domestic
violence in front of children. In that context violence against women
or men is not acceptable and is something everyone should bear in mind.
Having said that I think that the relationship, however either party
percieves it, between Michael and Robert has reached a nadir. You will
notice that neither of them has posted to the list since this latest
issue. Privately I understand that Michael has left the list on the
basis that he is no longer enjoying it, Robert has not said anything one
way or the other.
I have taken the time to look back over the postings of both people and
to consider what I know about both people. To be quite honest I'm
surprised at the way that this has worked out. I have met both people,
admittedly some time ago and I have no axe to grind with either of
them. Again, having said that, I do wish that some of the more
personal, non football stuff hadn't happened here.
On that basis I am going to email both of them and ask them to re-read
our bible, Gav's excellent list guide and get them to decide for
themselves if they really should be here or not. Neither of these two
men are stupid nor are they daft enough to think that this situation can
go on (Michael has already admitted this to me privately).
I find it sad to think that our common bond of being Leeds fans means
that we can't find adult ways of overcoming other differences, or at
least tempering them with some sort of reasonable behaviour.
I've already had to coax one other greatly appreciated lister back into
the fold this tear, I'd prefer not to have to do it again.
If anyone can think of any other way of dealing with this I'd welcome
your thoughts. If we can't deal with this what hope has any other
bugger got? I mean do we look like WACCOE on a slow Friday afternoon or
what?
Cheers,
Betty
