I've posted on here more than you have and generally it's not in response to you. Don't flatter yourself. Also, look through the history of our "arguments" (or whatever you want to call them). I think you'll find that it was you that started being barbed, sarcastic, provocative and antagonistic.

I'm sure he's very good at running the show generally and getting things done on time, on budget etc. But the things discussed on here are more "large scale" and not about the smooth running of the show and I don't have to agree that he's good at all of those decisions.
James Robinson wrote:Yeah, I second that, Charlie, Damian's been part of the Countdown family for so long, he wouldn't dare make any mistakes. You should support his decisions, Gavin. It's for the good of the show.
Damian having yes-men is not for the "good of the show". It makes no difference if someone on the internet happens to agree with him. This is an unofficial forum where people can basically say what they like, and that is a good thing. Having people involved in making the show coming on here can be a good thing, but we should not be expected to agree with them any more than we would anyone else.

OK, it's not always like that, but there are plenty of times when the attitude I've described has come across.

2016 edit - I'm not going to bump this, but I've just randomly encountered this thread again, and I'm wondering why I even had to reply to all this bullshit. Jason Witcher posted that he was being allowed back on again and this directly caused Damian to ban him from going back on. It was a direct result of forum activity. It was really off, and I stand by everything I said here. So yes, there were people talking about who should be let back on and then as a result of this Countdown decided to ban everyone coming back. Plus David Williams's comments below are pretty hypocritical.
