Thanks IB. Glad that it was not seen as offensive. That wasn’t my intention.
The reason I posted … and wanted to probe your motivation … was, as stated before, that you are far more than a bystander in the limited world of this forum. You are deeply engaged and highly motivated. You are giving frequent and detailed posts regarding David Hilton and what Iron supporters’ response to him ought to be. I am not suggesting that you have been insulting or offensive in your posts.
The point I am making is that to avoid the sense that you are simply stirring up anxiety and fractiousness amongst a demoralised and largely impotent fan base I would like to see the same standard of transparency from you as you are asking from David Hilton. Your answer that you care about due diligence etc may well be true. But it’s not enough for me to disarm suspicion. Tell us why this specific ‘cause’ is so important to you beyond just general principle. Otherwise it might seem wise to say that you’ve made your principled point to us fulsomely and repeatedly … so why not move on and fight a different cause?
The subject is irrelevant, it could be another individual and subsequently, a different set of circumstances. No amount of words from me will allay your suspicion so it’s a futile exercise. You have every right not to trust me, you don’t know me and I’m OK with that. I certainly have no intention of trying to convince you otherwise as that would just be noise and a distraction from what really matters.
Move on? I sense the journey has only just begun.
