Be careful what you wish for...

Again I do apologise for going walkabout for a couple of weeks. I've had a lot on my mind.

Uppermost was the need to decide the future of this blog. For a while, I considered dropping the whole thing. As you must have noticed, my little effort has attracted some of the most disgusting personalities you could come across. In spite of this, I have decided, for now, to keep going and not to restrict comments here. I still have a belief in free speech and the inherent decency of one's fellow human beings. I know, I know - what a naïve fool - but I never claimed to be perfect.

I've also been busy advising a new blogger on how to go about it. Now this will be interesting. My focus has been on trying to secure a future for Greenwich Market, but I have been side-tracked into personal disputes. From now on I will be realigning my efforts on their original path and not commenting much on the interesting methods of the current management. The new blogger is a different creature entirely and is planning to pick up the threads to try to make the traders' lot a better one. They've promised to let me know when they start up - I'll pass that on to you here.

Just a little message from me, Marketeer, to let you know that my new blog is up and running. Do come and see me soon at gmtraders.blogspot.com .

Thanks to Whistler for leaving space for my approach and for showing me the way.

PS. I bite.

Hello We Love Greenwich Market,

I must say I was soo disappointed to read your blog. What a pity to use what could be a great site to spitefully attack one man. Considering he no longer works at the market I think you should consider taking down the Barny Crockford hate campaign. I am also a regular visitor and have worked at Greenwich market which I enjoyed. I am saddened by the bitchy and unsigned comments, perhaps it is time to grow up and remove what is a destructive and ill written personal attack. What goes around comes around.
