Pete,
I was surprised to see you state that you intend to stop your postings. Others probably do not know that you are also a magistrate in your spare time. The only reason I can see which would make you stop posting to this forum would be if you had been threatened in some way or it affected your position as a magistrate. There is no reason you should have to stop posting here - other than if you have been threatened by bmi. Surely the management have not stooped that low !
