I know Alec could rub people up the wrong way, and very often set out to, indeed even once he managed it with me, but is that really a reason for banning him. If it is so then lets see consistency and close down the forum altogether. Have we not all rubbed somebody up the wrong way at some stage.
Only my thoughts. Alec I know you are reading this in some other form, I just wanted to say I object to your banning and although I would hate to live with you or even share a drink with you but we did manage to have some sort of connection. You will be missed.
