  Over the weekend I will make a final posting. it will be after the watershed.
  The reason being that after I have made it I will be getting a life ban from the forum.
  
  If you get a chance to read it before it is deleted by Howard or Paul then you will understand why I have made it.
  
  Enough is enough and I will take it no longer. STAND by forumites cos I'm going out with a bang.

  calm down and take a deep breath ian.
  
  maybe an imbibation too, we all get impassioned about things that matter to us.
  
  i feel sure that you can voice your feelings on here in an acceptable way, after all you have managed it for nearly a decade now.

  I certainly hope you do not get banned, it seems as if you have reached bursting point if so please watch your blood pressure.
  
  There comes a time when enough is enough, something I fully understand at this precise moment regarding my voluntary work.

  Ian it is hard for some to understand outside of service life you are a family, and what happens to your unit and the families happens to you to, and it is a very close knit family I should know I was an army daughter and grandaughter.
  Ian we would miss you and your imput on the Forum.

  Ian, rather not make the posting.
  In the past I have expressed my thoughts on the Forum regards the Afghanistan mission, in various occasions.
  I haven't brought the subject up any more, as you wrote the last time that I was being negative towards the soldiers fighting there. I didn't want this to be the case, and gave it thought at the time.
  
  I haven't ever brought up a topic on Libya after that war ended, or on Syria, or on Iran. Only expressed some comments on these latter two on threads posted by other members.
  
  If you wish, I will leave the Forum, if this has to be the case.
  Please don't make the post, and let's allow the Forum to remain in its greater splendour.
  
  There will be no recriminations on my part. I have blogs of my own, I have plenty to write.
  
  Keep up the good spirits Ian, there are no grudges on my part towards you.
  I will remain a reader of the Forum, and perhaps one day when we see each other we'll have a cider together at Peter's.

  Ian old mate - its not worth it, I know how you feel and had to fight myself not to say all I feel.... but I think I have still got across what I think of a certain matter. My tip, type what you want to say in a word doc and save it. Go away have a coffee, read it through then amend it as necessary before posting.

  Well said Colette - well said everyone.
  
  We all need your compassion and understanding Ian, none of us want you to stop posting on here - banned or voluntarily; we'll all be very sorry.
  
  Stay with it.
  
  Good post Barry - sound words.

  Ian: it is very good advice to write down all that you feel so aggrieved about (and I have no idea, sorry have been off-line for a while) but PLEASE keep it and consider it for a while before posting. Sometimes just writing something down can help, because in a way you can let it go - not keep mulling it over in your mind.

  Ian.
  I have no idea whats happened but I have been tempted to react in the same way.
  Instead, I logged off for a while and had a break,please try that before severing all ties, it worked for me.
