The 'banter' on here over the last couple of weeks wreaks of people being determined to bring the forum down. There's an agenda playing out, and that much is clear.
And yes, I did see a puff of smoke on the grassy knoll.

And yes, I did see a puff of smoke on the grassy knoll. Up until recently they was good debate on here with a variety of opinions, I didn’t necessarily agree with but respected but it’s got silly. I imagine that’s why the person from the extended Piatak family wanted to meet, was/still up for it as it’s good to get different opinions but I agree with torch in that they probably don’t read this “shit show” now.

The separate message I received mentioned they were a Piatak and wanting to meet about comments on here, I think that was someone messing around and a few people have got it.

This place has always been known for good faith posters with good insight being respectful and being as honest as possible. To see it potentially degenerate into attention seeking, nitpicking and lying narcissists would be a crime. Please can we make this place great again so outsiders think they can talk to us and get a feel for the thoughts of the real man on the ground.
Trolls and keyboard warriors, stand down

Sending clandestine PM's on this forum is not being "open and transparent".
If they want to engage with the Hoy Polloy on this forum they are free to.
I can understand why they might be intimidated to face genuine critics rather than brainless sycophants, but also understand why they wouldn't seek involvement. It's quite easy to lose your dignity, as a certain former owner once discovered.
Anyway, being American they should be used to the Wild West (being from Florida doubly) so it shouldn't feel too unfamiliar.

Nothing clandestine about it, the one genuine PM that was sent asked about the possibility of meeting members of this forum. I'm not naming the individual until I've had a chance to speak with them in person, just to clarify that reaching out hasn't landed them in hot water. At no point have any of the Piataks shied away from facing the people, critics and admirers alike.

That`s my take on the Piatak family too, there are some, safe behind their keyboards and monitors, that wouldn`t confront either the manager or the owners to voice their views, in fact they probably wouldn`t confront anyone face to face.

Hi piglet good to talk again mate hope you've calmed down can be tough when the haters get to you. Just to clarify did you mean "hoi polloi" because i dont know if Canadas Internet will translate Greek references to common people to something different but again people who aren't as clever as you may not get it and I know you choose your words deliberately. DM me if you need anymore help being understood and improve your social interactions. Keith

No, I meant Hoy Polloy and I'm sticking with my own Greek translation.
Use of the "i" is traditional, but wrong.
Consider yourself educated.
Oh and PS, I'm not your "mate".
