Actually, as there are a bunch of anglers on here, can I ask you a question? In all seriousness. I live right by the Grand Union Canal and every weekend there are a bunch of anglers down by the canal...all with HUGE fishing rods that look as though they are expecting to catch Jaws at the very least. What on earth are they going to catch in the GU that would require that sort of equipment? Hope you don't mind me asking (and going off topic) but I am genuinely curious... EDIT: Rooter: I have met Griff, but certainly don't know him. And admiration for someone does not necessarily translate to 'accepting his opinions on every subject, uncritically'. Duh....if they were trying to catch Jaws dont you think they would need a bigger boat and not a rod......

Like in the good old days - put their heads on a stick and leave them on display as a message to any other ruperts who feel brave enough.

Alison, you delete my 'abusive' posts, but what about your idol's abusive behaviour? Hardly the voice of reason, hence my questioning your blind adulation of someone you met once but moderate a fan club (and this is a fan club/ego trip for the man) worshipping his existence. Take a look again, I'm sure you recorded it. www.bbc.co.uk/headroom/newsandevents/programmes/losingit.shtml?pa

He is wrong, misinformed and a danger to the waterways. His inflammatory rhetoric may sound good on microphone but if enacted out will definately cause friction and antagonism, possibly leading to violent confrontation and breaches of law and order.

Rooter, my sweet, I haven't deleted anything. I'm not a mod or an admin on this forum. And please try to get your head around the idea that there may be folk in the world who genuinely didn't realise that this was an issue. Not everyone is familiar with the ideology of the Militant Wing of the Anglers Association.

Whatever, I mistook your lecturing for that of a mod. This not militancy but a realists point of view, as opposed to some fan club members unwavering belief in the righteousness of an AC-TOR who ,like most of his ilk, holds more regard of his mis-guided opinion than that of the other users of the medium. What's to say you don't report the posts that offend your strictly limited and biased view? hence, you are acting to assist the mods in this instance.

No, I think you are being unfair there. The only posts that have been deleted are the ones that contained nasty personal abuse. If you want to make your point, do so - your reasonable arguments will be treated with respect. But you are a grown man (I assume) and should be able to argue your case without resorting to name-calling, either of Griff Rhys-Jones or anyone else on this site.

Rooter, you are attacking the wrong person.
I run this site, not Alison, and every decision made about the removal/deletion of posts rests with me. I am not getting involved in the matter of this debate - it would be impossible to do so without merely being accused of bias by whichever side I did not agree with. All I do here is try and maintain standards of decent behaviour. I am more than happy for posts disagreeing with Griff's opinion to stand and am indeed letting them do so, but personal abuse or offensive language I will not tolerate here, and it will be consistently deleted.
(Edited to correct a grammatical error that has been annoying me every time I read the thread)
