    Is it wrong for anyone to state (in your words only because we have no proof that it ever happened) 'a pack of lies' about you but perfectly acceptable for you to do the same about another? Because that's how this latest rant of yours reads. You've written a pack of lies about an individual who always did his best for the association he was a senior member of but who now gets abuse from you for doing his best.

    I expect your email to K. R. might have contained a form of very reluctant apology but in all honesty your failure to issue this apology publicly, on here, after slating the guy so publicly, on here, paints a picture of a very bitter and twisted individual.
    There was no apology - the opposite. He bizarrely questioned my educational qualifications and having sent him six pictures of the 2019 dinner which showed Nelms sitting with Jim Thompson and his wife, denied it saying I must have sent pictures from another night. The pics included the former player guests and also the interim manager James McPake to prove the correct year, but he wasn't having it saying, "You were sitting next to John Nelms and there was no sign of Renee Nelms at the dinner so I reckon that you have enclosed the wrong photographs in your email". I sent him proof and can do no more except move on.
    He also complained about a bar of DFC chocolate that he won in the raffle was close to being out of date. (We had over 50 prizes in the raffle to make sure every table won at least one prize and the chocolate was donated by the club shop with a host of other things).
    The rant continued about the letter from Nelms and that he wants a public apology and I suggested he let it go and move on.

    Sadly you just have to try to ignore him. He's a bitter and twisted old man with a bee in his bonnet (several really) and a completely irrational hatred of John Nelms.

    We both know he'll complain about absolutely anything he can to anyone that will listen but a bar of chocolate? And to question someone's professional credentials - just wow.

    He claims to research things when what he actually does is forms an opinion, based on his own skewed and very outdated view of the world, looks for anything he can to back his opinion up, presents it as absolute proof that he's right and then point blank refuses to accept any clear evidence that contradicts it. Hence, despite you presenting evidence to him he just will not accept it - ever.

    You sent me four photographs not six.
    The 2018-19 Player of the Year dinner was the last dinner before the Covid lockdown with next one being in 2023.
    I stand by my comments regarding the 2018-19 Player of the Year dinner but there is no point trying to battle with you because according to his latest email you work for Dundee Football Club.

    Did you or did you not ask me who appointed me as club historian? There are two articles posted on the club website that I wrote

    I apologise - two photos maybe didn't upload but four should have been enough to prove to you i was wrong. I did also subsequently send you a link to every picture from the 2018/19 dinner
