    Exactly. We shouldn't imagine problems which probably not arise.

    All the railway has to do is respond to any issues professionally and politely. It’s not always easy but a well run organisation has nothing to fear from complaints, you just answer them and move on.

    This comment is incredibly foolish, naming people (even by family name only) publicly like this is likely to cause more trouble than keeping your mouth firmly shut.

    There have been instances in the past of other railways having hostile neighbours keep an eye on preservation forums like this one and using what's been said to cause further trouble for the railway.

    I recommend everyone reports the comment in question to the admins so that it can be removed.

    Good idea - I have removed my post in reply which contained the original comment.

    A private message would have been enough, but the post has indeed been removed, My post was not meant to be inflammatory but just saying that relations need to be handled carefully, but if people take it the wrong way, and over react, then, i;m not sure what else i can say.

    @martin1656 i would suggest heeding the very wise words of @Jamessquared

    sometimes it really is better to say nothing

    The quote you are replying to (and, I think, all the other replies to it and quotes of it) has had the names removed, but your quoting it means they are still visible, so you may now wish to edit the names out.

    Sometimes, when a post is removed, subsequent posts quoting it are also removed. That hasn't been done this time, so anyone can still see it.
