You confirm your personal vendetta with most things you say. Im not sure you could class 'weird cynic' as a personal attack. William Eve is a troll and pretty honest about it. He doesnt really pretend not to be. And starbug would pretty readily admit his intense dislike (if you feel hatred is too strong a word) of the RFL.
For someone so willing to be so aggressively negative about Nigel Wood, you are awfully sensitive.
I think the person in charge is the wrong one, and not nearly up to the job. I would like to see him removed. Still not sure why that's a personal vendetta. I've no reason to believe that he's anything other than a perfectly nice bloke outside the office. In work, he's paid a lot of money and doesn't (IMO) deliver. Plenty people do that in life, nice work if you can get it. I don't even hold that against him as a person. If he was doing it at the RFU I couldn't give a monkeys. But I love RL, and I think he's bad for the long term future, so it happens to annoy me. Simple as that.
Most of your alternative opinions I can accept as a perfectly valid viewpoint. There's really only one thing you keep saying that is ridiculous - that's when you keep accusing people who disagree with as hating rubgy league. I could turn around and say "you want to keep Nigel Wood, because you don't care about the future of Rugby League". But I don't. Because it would be a ridiculous way to argue. You know, dismissing somebody by making unfounded assumptions about their emotional relationship to RL. It would be pathetic.
