Perhaps I’ve missed the sockpuppets Goff (or they've been zapped) but I can see only two newcomers on this thread (who might have been sockpuppets) one with a legitimate-looking profile, and another who, although I confess I was originally suspicious of, has gone out of his way to introduce himself on a dedicated thread.
Dunno though – maybe I’m missing something...

Me i guess. ?
Well it was prompted by your post. :)
I'd just like to say (being the newbie) that if there's any suspicion of any type concerning myself then i'll happily walk away and leave you to it. There seems to be some kind of undercurrent here that i can't quite put my finger on but it's quite unnerving to the extent i forego posting replies for fear of saying the wrong thing.
I have actually climbed silbury and could have added to the debate but i just couldn't be bothered to deal with the fall out.
I wont post again till this is clarified either by the poster of the comment or the site administrators.

Ditto.
I was trying to say that I don’t think anyone on this thread is a sockpuppet Mr harestonesdown. Apologies for any misunderstanding and please do continue to post.

Thanks Tiompan and Littlestone, Though my issue wasn't related to anything you've said, Obviously, It's the throw away comment without reply that hit's a nerve. As if the locked message at the top of the forum isn't ominous enough when you join, where it clearly states "Any personal attacks, name-calling, unnecessarily aggressive comments, unfounded or unreasonable accusations, or general unnecessary vitriol will result in the poster's account being suspended." More that it's obviously been an issue for some time before i signed up, that is still ongoing.
I may be being over-sensitive but i guess others may feel the same when considering joining the forum, especially if they've "lurked" for several months as i did.

My thoughts precisely. A little less bullying and sockpuppetry would also go a long way.

I have enjoyed this thread immensely (much of it I've read in the evening after the iniitial exchanges). There has been some heat but as VBB says, this mainly reflects the fact that contributors are passionate about this. As Evergreen Dazed said (I think, apologies if it was Mustard) people are clearly thinking about this stuff and after that much of it is shades of conscience.
But this last little bit has annoyed me. Twice now you've mentioned sockpuppetry Goff. I have seen no evidence of this whatsoever in this thread, and I'm afraid that comes across as stirring, at least to me. Care to elaborate on where you believe the sockpuppets to be?

Mr H, your comments are entirely understandable and you're not the first to make them. We tried taking the stabilisers off for a while by removing the sticky thread you mention, but it didn't really work out (shame on us, frankly).
Keep on posting, I think this thread (in general terms) shows that the forum can be a good place for a discussion and to have our views challenged.

Sorry to ask but what are sockpuppets in this sense?
