If I insulted Framboise or anyone else because they think I have attacked a nationality, then I apologise unreservedly, I did not have this in mind at all.

It may not have been funny, but that was all I intended. A bit of ribbing at misuse of language is a game played by many people, the French are not excluded, they protect the integrity of French much more vigorously than we do English.

However, if I overstepped the mark then I am sorry.

This is getting silly, nobody was having a go at anybody's nationality! That would be 'the French are stupid', not tongue-in-cheek 'Framboise you should get an editor'. Anyway the Willstrop diaries should be allowed Steve, harmless.

It looks like a few of the personal attacks have been 'moderated'. There was a post that must have been removed that included amphibian references and other naughtiness. I agree, the Willstrop diaries were light-hearted, harmless and probably funny to many (inlcuding me).

yeah pretty silly if you ask me. I'm all for free speech. The moderators have a right to stop people from abusing and swearing on this forum but controversial issues should be allowed an airing and light hearted banter too. For example, i had questioned Darwish's commitment by asking why he was playing in another no-name tourney...and the moderators removed it in double quick time. It wasn't anything personal against Darwish at all, his countryman Shabana is in fact my favorite squash player.

Its nice to say stuff like 'we don't care, if you don't like it go somewhere else' etc. etc. but at the end of the day its the squash players/fans who keep the interest in the game alive and keep this website alive, so you DO have a commitment to them.

Framboise and Steve, please lighten up and go easy on the moderation!

Just looking down through the postings it's amazing to see just what is tickling everbody's fancy.
From the Wilstrop diaries, the 'censoring' that is or is'nt very fair.
But there is a posting "How to construct a National Coaching Program by Jamie" in my opinion a good topic but as yet no public responses. Could this be part of the reason why we cannot get squash to the forefront, people are buzzing off each other about what is in fact something which is in fact a joke, its untrue and does not really benefit squash in any way. Ok its a laugh & lighthearted to an extent I did enjoy them when they were there.
I'd much prefer to read thoughts on a National Coaching Program and the reasons on why did Steve and Framboise leave the Squashplayer and set this site up.

Maybe if people puy their thoughts and opinions toghther we might be able to help Jamie out.
Go on say it 'why have I not done so'!

I like ur reply so much.We must not forget that this is a squash site for info,discussions & exchange of views about SQUASH .The game requires more !!!
