First of all thank you for getting Ross Thurston on, it would be good to keep the flow going in regards to interviewing more decision makers, SNZ etc.

But please, please, show a bit more respect to people who post on this board and social media whether you like what they have to say or not. I found it disrespectful and downright rude the number of times you referred to fans who have an opinion as "keyboard warriors" and "grandstand referees". We are passionate fans who give a darn about our sport, and our teams.

A little more professionaism and respect for the sports fans would be appreciated.

I haven't heard the interview as yet but on the face of it I find myself in agreement with you. The term 'keyboard warrior' seems to be the favorite put down these days.
Ironically mostly used by people typing on keyboards.

Thanks for bringing Rossco on to explain himself, not that he needed to. He understands this is an entertainment as well as a sport, & no need to ruin the spectacle by applying marginal rules that can ruin the whole deal. The reason why the place was sold out - it was entertaining, lets not forget that. Well done to Rossco & crew. A dose of applied common sense, which is not that common these days.

To Richard & Macgor. I did listen and the phrases were used a number of times, every time a put down. It was ironic how often "the media" was bagged by the host too, but by hosting the show he is "media" himself.

I'm not on facebook but got sent a fb screen shot, now long since deleated, that was pretty derogatory of users of this forum. for daring to question his click-bait marketing of a previous show, which made me wonder why he would still use (milk for all it's worth) this same forum.

How do I say this without..... na bugger it, he has put himself out there so I'll just go ahead and say it. I get the impression with this bloke that he is much like the Green Party - his (their) opinion on anything is the only right one, and he would rather live in an echo chamber, where he only hears the praise and see's the nods of agreement.

EDIT: I base the above after only seeing the mentioned screenshot, his post's on here and hearing the one show a couple of weeks ago.

Yes there was an issue recently in which that person over reacted in not the best fashion. I worked with that person to explain how things work around here and what the advantages were even if it meant a bit of flak from time to time. Some things are best left as resolved, it's filed 'no further action.'

I have no problem with people using the discussion board to advise or arouse interest in something that people may want to know about or even become involved with so long as there is no profit motive. Some won't like what is offered and they are welcome to ignore.

Good call(s) boss, now I know why you are on the big bucks. Seriously tho Mr Macgor's pragmatism in dealing with lot's of issues that pop up here over many years is/should be a leason to us all.
