    Perhaps John Nelms was not happy about Fenton speaking out about the Aberdeen game being called off because it did not fit Nelms criteria of saying nothing.
    As well as having an unreasonably intense dislike of John Nelms you seem to be going down the same road with Greg Fenton who has done you absolutely no wrong - unless he also didn't notice you on your unannounced visit to Gardyne of course.

    On the contrary.
    It was Greg Fenton who sent an email to the secretary of Dee4life the day after our visit stating that I was abusive to staff. More lies.
    Almost a year ago Greg Fenton stated in an email that I was welcome to come into Gardyne to have a chat with him over tea and biscuits about any concerns I had.
    I replied thanking him for his offer but I would be bringing my wife with me as a witness as a result of what his boss John Nelms stated in his letter to the Dee4life board of directors which also broke the Data Protection Act and possibly the GDPR rules, about my visit to the Clubs offices at Gardyne.
    I never received a reply from Greg Fenton.

    Greg Fenton, most likely, did what John Nelms asked him to do. I'd expect John Nelms will have worded the email and asked Greg Fenton to send it on his behalf.

    Greg Fenton offered an olive branch but you imposed an unreasonable condition so it can't really be a surprise to you that communication broke down can it? You surely can't expect someone who has offered you an informal forum to accept a condition that essentially formalises that forum can you? I'd definitely refuse such a condition if I was in Greg's position. Was the idea of Mrs Islay being there for her to take minutes of the meeting? You essentially tried to weaponise that potential meeting.

    Please accept my apology for stating the reality of the situation above but it really is past the point where you need to let this go before it consumes you completely.

    Mrs Islay would have been there as a witness in case more lies was stated in a letter/email about our latest visit.
    I will give you a tip.
    If someone crosses me they will face the consequences of their actions no matter how long it takes and I harbour grudges for years.

    So I was right that your request to have Mrs Islay present was to weaponise the meeting then? Thanks for admitting that without deflection at least.

    That last comment is possibly the saddest thing I've read on here. You really need to start putting things behind you and moving on. Bearing grudges for that length of time will eat you up and, in all honesty, is childlike.

    It is not childlike. It is my choice and if someone crosses me they will pay for the consequences of their action irrespective of the damage it may cause.
    I would have taken my wife with me as a witness in case GF/JN made up more fictitious lies about my latest visit to Gardyne.
    I would have happily had a meeting with Greg Fenton on neutral territory somewhere away from Gardyne.
    After I received sight of Greg Fenton’s email about our visit to Gardyne on Friday 7th October 2022 I seriously considered reverting to being an armchair supporter of Dundee Football Club which I was from 1981 until December 2009 especially as my admission money ultimately goes to pay for part of Greg Fenton’s and John Nelms respective salaries.

    Wow, what a way to live your life.

    No wonder DFC and Downfield Golf Club hold the views they have of you.

    People like you are an inspiration to me of how NOT to live my life.

    Sad.

    Unlike a lot of members I attended annual financial meetings and AGMs where I was not frightened to ask questions.

    That comment does not at all surprise me. Your bitterness knows no bounds. You sure you are not a DAB?

    I have been a Dundee supporter for over 63 years. The first game I attended was in August 1960. How long have you been a Dundee supporter.
