I wish you"d spend more time debating on APAT & less time geo-caching ffs!
Zozzy:
The heated debate thread which was locked ended with someone saying "try just saying thankyou - not thankyou ,, but" & "Feels like being at home with a bunch of kids"
I wanted to reply to this because I strongly disagreed.
In some respects I am a neutral in the debate because I live in North West England and was born in North West England and of course I, like all Apat members appreciate all the work which has gone into organising the league, and added value etc.
The so called "soft" or "hard" rules don"t make a scrap of difference to me.
My view was that players with strong feelings of patriotism (country of birth) and comradeship (Luton Club) had a valid point of view, and had as much right to air their views as anyone else before the final decision was made.
The most distasteful parts of the debate to me were the "put downs" aimed at the members with strong allegiances.
It is easy to be critical when the rule changes don"t affect you. It should also be easy to see things from another person"s perspective without trying to belittle them.

Many thanks for posting this Zozzy. Heathly debate is fine but I was saddened by those saying that I should just accept something I felt strongly about and voiceing my opinion was wrong.
There have been many many things about APAT that have improved over time because of debate but for some reason some people seem to think it was wrong to debate this one?

Moving to Doha, Qatar for a while. Which region does that fall into?
