Well I probably won't leave or threaten to after my 15+ odd years on
here. I am generally thought of (outside of here) as a tolerant,
compassionate, patient person but tempered by a sarcastic side and a
sense of humour and dry wit.
I could easily say enough is enough at this point but I won't because a
minority will never win in the end. Wouldn't it be nice though if
someone could set up a parallel USW Group which was by invitation
only.Still unmoderated and allowed to stray a bit now and again without
the fear of being banned. Thereafter only removed by majority vote of
the other members. There are probably only three or four members, on
either side of the fence so to speak, that a large number of people
don't get on with. But that wouldn't bother me, they are entitled to
their opinions, even if sometimes put across more arrogantly, selfishly,
patronisingly or aggressively than I would. Now and then they even
manage to say something about the weather.
Personally I would invite every single one of them BAR ONE.

And yes JUMPER, I do mean you.

For those that have forgotten the charter for this Group (formulated by
some far better people than myself) as it stands:-

This group is essentially for the discussion of daily weather events,
chiefly affecting the UK and adjacent parts of Europe, both past and
predicted. The discussion is open to all, but contributions on a
practical scientific level are encouraged. It may also contain postings
of observations during interesting weather episodes. The group is
expected to be patronised by both amateurs and professionals (including
academics), but it is primarily for weather enthusiasts rather than
research scientists. Any discussion of climate issues should be from a
scientific standpoint and not a political (or environmental-activist) one.
