I find it quite strange and contradictory that that he/she is quick to the defense of the victims of WWII and yet finds it easy to condemn a new member of the forum.
As a 'newbie' I think I need guidance on this. I've been trying to make some input but feel that I have ,albeit subtly, been shunted.

apology accepted no worries - and it was more of a general point anyway rather than aimed at you (you werent the first person to say it) and i apologise in turn if this caused you any upset.
I hadnt responded before because i had unsubscribed to this thread because i've had my say and i have no wish to fall out with people i generally get on with , dave , mike etc just because our views on this are different.
My general point was that
anyone comparing the national trust to the nazis because they wont let people sell or publish images taken on their land speaks of a serious loss of proportion.
(similar to when people start comparing stu to draco, stalin, mao, pinochet etc because they dont like the forum rules.)
If one want to get hot under the collar about civil liberties there are all sorts of dreadful things happening in the world in myanmar, china, zimbabwe, camp xray etc etc (not that we normally discus politics on the forums , for obvious reasons) and in comparisson the national trust introducing a bylaw that prevents publication of a few photographs is very small beer indeed.
i'm a he by the way
