To answer the various questions:-
Jim, I don't know the answer but there are many people on here who will do, so assuming it doesn't get lost amidst the flimflam I hope you get an answer. I'll certainly bring it to the attention of anyone whom I think is likely to know.
abcdefg, I'm getting a scan of the Countryfile article (the one containing the comment sparking off this entire debate) and will put it up as soon as I can. I'll post the link to Vine with timings etc as soon as I have it. Sorry not to have got back to you more quickly.
Mel1Smith, all I can say is the same as I have to others - reasoned contributions to the debate are welcome but abuse will not be tolerated.

Precisely as much as I am a "wizened old harridan", I believe.

Rooter, are you going for the 'Defender of the Angler' look? Because I have to tell you, the overall impression at the moment is rather more of 'A Bit Of A Knob With Limited Social Skills'.

That would be a lack of abusive language from EVERYBODY, please.

As someone who's sat back and read this thread with interest. Can I just ask one thing?
What, in the name of all that is holy, is the point of joining up to a fan forum, just to slag off Griff (not to mention hurling abuse at the staff, who are only doing their jobs), and not add anything constructive to the site?

I say again, rooter, if you have a point to make, make it. It won't be deleted. But if you just want to be rude to people, then don't expect to be indulged here.

I think he'd think the administrator of this board is trying her best to resolve a situation that needn't have arisen (or at least got as far as personal abuse) in the first place. He'd think she was doing her job. And a damn good one at that!

Rooter, pretty soon I shall have you down as nothing more than a troll.
By all means, stand for your passion, but don't drag what you love down with you.
Leave all the immaturity alone please.

I only asked if the abusive post aimed at me would be removed, one rule for all or not , as the case may be. Will it? Hark at you all coming out the woodwork now.

Obivously you can't form a proper argument so you have turned to abuse, how mature.
Anyway, there are children around the world dying of leukemia every hour and you're worried about a throw away comment Griff made?!?!? You have too much time on your hands dude.
Abusing staff members is only showing you up. You should think yourself lucky that the Police aren't knocking your door.

Alison has been here for an age and has never snapped at anyone before. You joined today and have already had two posts removed for inappropriate language. I don't think the two situations are entirely analagous! I feel under the circumstances a warning is adequate.
Please feel free to debate any other moderating decision that I have made.

Maybe that's because we know how much effort had been put into getting this place up and running? It doesn't deserve slanderous imbeciles (and no, that is not a personal attack, that is a general quote) coming along and trying to drag it down. You aren't giving yourself a very good look, or name by keeping this going.
