Well, having read much of what you have to say on GH Online, Arnie Fan, I'm afraid I would have to level the same criticism at you.
"Eradicate the competition"? *What* competition? They make the programme and you don't. To call Mersey TV, "petty" is hardly going to persuade them to do what you want.
Being a moderator of GH Online, Arnie Fan, you should also show a little common sense and not bite the hand that feeds you.
I note with some alarm that GH Online is STILL requesting its members to bombard MTV staff by email. Not only that but Simon has published copies of correspondence, leaving mail addresses and telephone numbers intact - except of course those belonging to his GH Online colleagues. Its an outrageous state of affairs.
Any reasonable man would have apologised for the earlier offensive comments to the producers, and made an assurance that it wouldn't happen again. But then if your moderators and Administrator engage in the same activity, then why would the membership desist?
And try and get your head around this simple fact, Arnie Fan: It doesn't matter whether Simons site is full and well presented. The content is protected in law by copyright, and if you insult the owners then they have a right to stop you.
Grange Hill is NOT public property, however much you wish it were so.
Stop bombarding Mersey Television with you hate mail, apologise for calling them "idiots", and hope they let the matter drop.

Just to clear up the little matter. I joined this forum to reply to this topic. Yes it was after following a link on the GHO site, but I was not coerced into signing up or putting my comments on here. I signed up of my own free will because I could not believe how people were behaving towards GHO and in particular Simon. I think the GHO site is excellent and Simon does a great job in operating and maintaining it. Simon had no knowledge that I was going to sign up or what my comments would be. Now reading previous comments on here I'm sure you won't believe me either and think I am working in conjunction with Simon, but I assure you I am not. My comments are my own and not those of Simon, nor GHO.

As I have just said in another thread,
I can't believe how petty Mersey TV are being about a site that promotes their show and always states who owns photo/info copyright.
They even say in their letters that there are many fan sites out there, but I bet they aren't persecuting them and trying to get them shut down.
I think it just goes to show Simon that you have such a brilliant, informative site that they feel so threatened that they couldn't do better and you might recieve more hits on your site than they do on theirs, that they just want to eradicate the competition.
