are upset. If anyone of us has 'a go' at someone from our bank, heating supplier, staff in the supermarket etc would you expect the CEO to write to you telling you off for making a staff member cry? Much as some of us feel we are part of the Rocks TV family, at the end of the day they are a business, we are their clients and dirty laundry is best kept away from the customers. Don't misunderstand my post - I happen to be a big fan of Rocks, and have bought everything from a freshwater pearl bracelet through to a Lorique ring. I think their CS takes a lot to be beaten, as do their prices. But I do object to being taken for a bit of a fool, and sorry Steve, but I don't want you pulling on my heart strings because your wife is upset, nor do I want to read arguments between you and your advertisers, or read that you defend your staff against what was a pretty harmless comment (as I said before if you want nasty look at the Caroline thread) How about taking on board what Lee said about Alan and thanking him for the feedback - yes even something that negative! (we've done that ourselves and the person moaning has nowhere left to run then!). Yes, have a good look at what he's auctioning, but either at just the start or just the close of the auction - not both. Get the guys to have clean and tidy hands (also a bug bear of mine) He's not saying take away the personalities, just suggesting ways of possible improvement. Welcome it - you never know - it may even work!
My last point is about folks leaving the forum - I don't get that I'm afraid. Graham relies on advertising to make this place work - none of us would expect him to provide this site out of his own pocket now would they? If Graham needs or even wants to put up his charges what is it to do with us? If Graham allows posts regarding presenters from one channel then he allows them for all - and rightly so - he can't say 'mustn't allow this one incase it upsets the Bennets' when it was one of the tamest presenter complaints I've read. Whilst not agreeing with Lee entirely, it does appear that some of us are guilty of thinking of the Bennets as personal friends - and although they maybe to some, I'm sure they are not in reality to us all. Yes, I like them! Yes, I admire them, but no, they are not my buddies.
Hope that makes some sense and again I say I don't want to upset anyone or offend, I'm just expressing my own viewpoint which I know will be different than some others. Before anyone tells me off - or takes a pop, its my viewpoint and right for me, I'm not trying to say because its my point of view it also has to be yours!
