Hi Tom,
Maybe his closest mates on here know. I 'm not sure. I think it was Mac's own decision. This is just my take as someone way out on the periphery of things, so apologies if I inadvertently offend anyone. I believe that maybe he felt that there was a negative trend with a few people anonymously red-thumbing a lot of stuff he and others said about things, including McTavish boards. Or maybe it was just the red-thumb lurkers in general - i see you copped one for your previous post, which is just ridiculous (the thumb, not the post). Things flared up in Simondo's excellent recent board review thread and IMHO one person got a lot more personal with his remarks (most of which have been deleted) than was necessary. So thumbs, attitudes, comments - over an extended period and then a bit of a flare-up. That's between those peeps I suppose. I could be wrong, often am. I don't presume to speak for Mac or the others. Just thought it would be courteous to try to answer your question . . . (The other thing is, if you watch this room long enough . . . like the ocean, like the planet . . . the cycles and the seasons go around. This place goes bananas for some reason or other - or not much of a reason at all - every few months) But this room is richer when keen surfers share the stoke. That's something Mac seemed to do (and I reckon/hope will soon do again) and something you have been bringing in spades. Keep it up.

i thought i would copy this before you deleted it

i didn't read simondos post because I'm not that interested in double concave low rocker ect ect threads,BTW im glad they are in here.
,just i hear it all the time and I've got nothing that hasn't been said already.

my spin on this is..people that come into the greenroom ride other craft, ride other brands,sell other brands,pimp other brands or dislike the McT brand. hence the reds.
its got nothing to do with Mac himself.
Mac is a very nice man with a lot of knowledge in many fields.
i think he will come back but if not. i wish him the best, i will drop into his shop have a coffee and a talk
..just because Mac's a good bloke

Come on Scotty that can't be true.

I know I am not a long term Greenromm devotee but as you and others rightly say " MAC is the GREENROOM"

Pardon my ignorance but why would there be a campaign against him?

It is very easy for the doubters to find out if LL got the donations ASK HIM.

You are missed and will be welcome back with open arms SIR MAC.

Bob McTavish rules.
