BrumLee:
I've had another short reply from Greenpeace:


--- Quote from: "Greenpeace" ---Dear Lee,
I think every newspaper and tv company would be taken to court if a few swear words causes this much mayhem. By the way do you run the Discovery Supporters Club??

--- Quote from: "BrumLee" ---Dear John

TV companies that show programs containing language of the type your organisations movie contains gives a warning prior to the airing of it, if it happens during a live program they apologise profusely, and they also have to answer to the broadcasting or advertising agency. In my opinion Greenpeace think they are above the law and have jumped on the loony band-wagon regarding the choice of owning a 4x4 vehicle.

Why not campagian against vehicles been built and promoted for the ridiculous top speeds and output they produce? These performance vehicles driven by youngsters have robbed three families of their loved ones in the past weeks in my immediate area. Limiting the top speed of LGV’s has been a key factor in lowering their fuel consumption, the same could be achieved with cars. But alas, that action would lose too many political points, and that’s all political parties and organisations like yours are interested in.

To answer your question, I don’t run the Discovery Supporters Club, I don’t even thing that club exists. I was membership secretary of the Discovery Owners Club, so I take it you’ve done an internet search on me but your facts are once again distorted. Club membership promotes the responsible use of 4x4 ownership and as club members are bound by codes of conduct. One of those rules is to respect members of the public and other road users. The actions in your movie would be seriously frowned upon if used against any anti-4x4 activist. And as for the foul language on your site, register on any 4x4 forum and attempt to use this foul language, it will be filtered out and any continuation in its use, a moderator will ask you to refrain from its use or face a ban.

Working together with those you wish to influence is a better way of achieving, throwing insults will lose you support. It is there for the world to see which path Greenpeace have chosen.

Kind regards

I think this topic has a lot of miles to run  yet ? I hope as many people see the video as possible ,and as many protest directly to Greenpeace. The video has certainly made them into a laughing stock ..........

rangerider:
Indeed, I have not reported it simply because to date all the comments fall firmly on our side of the fence :)

the more that point out what dross a once respectable organisation is now putting out the better
