Al, I am sorry that you feel I have contempt for the controller concerned. I can honestly say that you could not be further from the truth; I have had the pseudonym "Whipping Boy's SATCO" for quite a while and it was certainly not my intention to belittle or undermine any individual. Indeed, in the past I have worked with the controller concerned and for yourself when you were OC CATCS. I was proud to work within that organisation and, in my eyes, you both continue to have the upmost respect.
Turning to my original message, I apologise if this appeared to come from the other side of the house. I am personally aware of a number of other factors that must be considered when examining this case, a large number of these will undoubtedly work for the controller and against the system. However, as we all know, sub judice means exactly that. All I was trying to say was that, whether we like it or not, we should be extremely careful with disclosure of information. I obviously failed in putting that message across.
Again, you have my sincerest apologies if I have offended.
