I think it is totally relevent if you have seen the shop. As you and I mistook George's post. The shop is special and has a great selection of lighting on three floors. So, as I have seen it and you have not, you cannot make a judgement . I have been in the shop which made me surprise at Georges comment, which, of course, was not a comment about the shop.
As an adminstrator for this Forum. I think it is your job to administrate, just las the really nice Steve does and stop beng so rude to members, if you want to keep members and ultimately your job.
Truth be told, I didn't pay much attention to Georges post, it was your response that came over as a bit demeaning - as I said before, the "specialness" of the shop is irrelevant.
I do administrate, i.e. I fix things when they break and I agree, Steve is really nice. In fact he's so nice, sometimes I just want to give him a big man hug. Not sure he'd let me though.
Unless it's deserved, for offences such as trolling or being a complete online dick etc, I don't waste time by being rude to members (I make an exception for KKOB though). That said, if someone wants to find offence, I'm sure they'll find it - the odd one or two on here are good at that, especially if someone disagrees with their viewpoint.
I really don't think the odd person I pi$$ off is going to affect the membership of CBF, in fact given the challenging times for online forums with the rise in social media its doing pretty well, all things considered.
On the basis that I still haven't received my P60 for last year, if I do get sacked then I'm heading right for a tribunal - might not get far with the case though, as I've been trying to get my jotters since circa 2009.
