Then please explain what you mean by your comment regarding the children.Gareth Harley-Yeo wrote: “A veiled threat� What a ridiculous comment. I have little interest in neither yourselves nor your children.
I did not tell anyone to grow up Gareth. If I did then please point it out to me. Otherwise you should apologise for saying that I said things which I did not. As an intellectual, you should understand the need to get your facts straight.Gareth Harley-Yeo wrote: Please sit back for a moment and consider the following – .... if you choose to go around telling people to grow up will attract nothing but negativity towards yourselves and your causes.
It is easy to throw out comments like this, but unless they are true, you should withdraw them. I hope that the moderator takes a look at this.
I disagree that I have not shown manners. I have not bullied anyone, if I have, then again please show me and I will apologise.Gareth Harley-Yeo wrote: No, chess shouldn’t be a popularity contest, and the good of juniors should come above the personalities of parents, but manners cost nothing.
Bullying will get you nowhere in life, especially on a forum full of intellectuals.
As you have said, manners cost nothing. Do you think that it shows manners to misquote me and make comments about my children?
I hope that you take a look at who writes what in this forum. It is important. Also, I think that inferring that our children will have something done to them if we do not comply with your orders is also a form of bullying and as you have said, bullying will get you nowhere in life.
If you were not threatening our children, then please be specific and not vague. I just want to be clear on this matter because parents should not be frightened to speak up in case comments like this are made about their children.
