Dear Forum Members,
It is with Much regret that i feel forced to leave the forum, which i have enjoyed these past 2 years.
A decision that has not come lightly I hasten to add.
Any Credibility I had or respect as a fellow enthusiast has been damaged by a certain forum member, who does not even know me or anything about me ,
I am Not a Mercenary and I would NEVER profit from a crash site, I have only Nievely followed advice from another Very Prolific Archaeologist,
I have acted no differently than any other individual with a interest in Aviation Archaeology.
I feel Very Very Hurt over the alegations made about me, and we all know that MUD sticks , so to speak, I feel a certain members comments are bordering on slander,
what little reputation I had is in Tatters because of this man as people tend to believe “Bad Press” and Half truths,
I am also Most Upset with my friends who know me personally and who know that i am NOT the monster Portrayed, Why is it that only a 16 year old lad,was a person who spoke up for me, Not thati need any one but a character ref from a friend would have done some good,and yet no one came to my defence, Most disapointing in the least,
I am sorry to those who I have enjoyed making friends with , and all of you who have supported me, I say Thankyou.
But i am so upset over these allegations and so sick of the Politics by those who have never even got a shovel out, let alone investigated a air incident from start to finish.
That I feel Forced to leave,
Yours Respectfully
Chris Collins
