I don't agree that Richard Garvie subverts threads.


A quick browse...

http://forum.newburytoday.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1029

The thread is moving along nicely, discussing the House of Fraser objection to the proposed new anchor store for John Lewis, when RG pipes up...

"I find it unbelievable that the Tories kicked off about the Lib Dems subsidising the Cinema by £100k a year, and now they spend £4m on moving an existing store to a new location in town."

That wasn't what was being discussed.

The clue is in the word 'discussed'. If people decided to discuss RG's point, that means it was him and others wanted to discuss whatever it is the you objected to.

Fair enough he tried to turn it political, but it is partly a political subject anyway, but some of the points he made were wrong, and we had the opportunity to correct him.

If the project is so dependent on a second 'anchor' store why didn't they design them in to start with? Or do you think that they have been planning this expansion from the start and kept it hidden while the main planning application went through?

I would love to see a decent department store like John Lewis in Newbury, but not at the cost of this naff new design that takes up public space and car parking. If only they had used the £4 million to entice JL here rather than Debenhams.


Blackdog raised the issue of the £4m payment. I googled it and the story back at the time suggested it was council money. I explained that on the thread, and others linked to stories suggesting the money was paid by SLI.

Rather than jumping on the bandwaggon, read the OP. No-one is asking for Richard's removal, or stopping him from posting. The OP asked for a seperate section of the forum where he can post his politcally motivated threads, that's all. No-one on here has asked for his removal!



Actually if you reread it (and previous posts against him) you will see that the post was being sarcastic.

I re-read it...

The trouble is there is always a person out there (or on this forum) that somebody doesn't like. If we all demanded the removal of the person we dislike (or their posts) then I am sure there would be nobody left on here.

As the advert says: simples! And it is. If you don't like a certain person or their posts then don't read them, but ask yourself this: do you have a right depriving others on the post you don't like yourself? Me personally; I think there is room for everybody... and don't forget; Hitler died, and because he died we shouldn't try to pay tribute to him by follow his code of practice; condemn, delete or destroy those we don't like, or understand.


But I'm not seeing any sarcasm. In fact, as far as the last paragraph goes, I'm not exatcly sure what you are trying to say.
