You have proven to be a committed member to the group, and it would be a shame to see you go over one or two small disagreements which are found in every community.

I hope you reconsider.

I wouldn't say it's a disagreement? and knowledge is not an excuse for bad manners.

Rob was not particularly bad mannered - he was blunt. I have a terrible habit of explaining things in far too much depth, and end up droaning on a tad. Rob's posting style is the complete opposite of that.
If Adam's post were worded differently, Rob would not have responded in such a blunt manner. This was previously established in Post 1800 and Post 1801.

He wasn't 'shooting anyone down' as suggested by yourself in Post 1802. Although unlikely, Adam's post could have tarnished the reputation of Go North East, and as our Go North East representative, I can understand completely why Rob sort of defended Go North East a little, and explained to us his knowledge to reflect this. He did it with the Optare attacks the other week. He explained what the problems were, opposed to just claiming that GNE won't buy Optare again.

I wasn't just referring to your comments with Rob as a 'disagreement', but Adam's too. If you weren't to call them a 'disagreement', what would you call them?
