Les Reid tweeted:

'@JoeyCoombes No @MichaelCCFC said on SBT on Fri he thinks his constant web abuse/bullying is acceptable. Be responsible or resign.That's all.'

If he is talking about here, what thread/post is he talking about?
Is this true or has he lost the plot?

If Les is spending his time looking on here why doesn't he just sign up as Linnell did and answer his critics?

Unless he says joy is a bitch, SHITSU are tossers and declare his undying love to ACL what's the point?

Branding some a bully, slightly slanderous tweet there by Mr Reid.

Anyone know which thread this tweet Les is referring to is on?

Perhaps.

He doesn't have to make himself known (if he was on here)

Doesn't Les Reid follow this place on Twitter? If so I'm sure he clicks through and reads the threads.

Too be honest as a journalist heavily involved with CCFC it would be a bit remiss of him if he didn't look at forums like this.

Just my opinion, having had abuse and inaccurate claims aimed at me the past, let it go ...... to rise to it only gives the posters oxygen. I would guess there has been more traffic on the KCIC/NOPM and Aprisonofmeasuredtime websites over the last few days than there has been in a while. Not all the posts have been abusive, many raise valid questions that remain unanswered

I think all have had their say ...... move on. I do not see why Les Reid is so exercised by it ...... just my opinion as i say

Maybe he was rather more touchy as there were things he wanted to do in the article but couldn't. Overall I was very disappointed in the tone and the lack of clarity around what was asked (especially when he could have cleared this up afterwards but decided to get in a tit for tat row!). It does make me laugh how a serious journo has reacted.

Les Reid brought a lot of the criticism he has received down on his own head. Far too many of his articles seem to be about Les Reid and how clever he has been to secure an "exclusive" rather than just presenting the facts.

It is hardly surprising, therefore, that so many should turn on him for presenting an obsequious profile of Joy Seppala rather than the searching inquisition that most would assume and demand from an "exclusive" interview.

All Ive seen of Michael is a quiet, thoughtful guy trying to accommodate a number of view points. He has got some stick on here from a few and was nothing but polite in response.
If Les Reid is accusing him personally of abuse and bullying he needs to prove it.
From what I have seen on twitter it appears Les has been abusive and aggressive towards Michael!

I agree. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Look at his recent tweets; he's seemingly fixated. I don't know whether my primary reaction is one of confusion, or embarrassment?!?

He's a journalist of some repute, I understand; but his re-tweeting of any messages in his support, or those who castigate his detractors seems a bit out of kilter with the 'crime' committed

Please realise Les Reed is a responsible journalist doing a great job IMHO!
He's probing and asking all the right questions and his interview with JS was very interesting, it's a great pity that the 'silence ' from CCC & ACL is almost deafening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ignore the abuse and continue to keep us as informed as you possibly can, long may you continue.

Either you know they have legal advice to maintain silence until the SISU-instigated, and hitherto embarrassingly unsuccessful Judicial Review is over so as not to be found in contempt, and you're on the wind up. Or you're a fool. Take your pick

I'm sure the JR appeal has something to do with it but I imagine there are ways round it. They could easily give an interview and avoid all those embarrassing difficult questions as JS apparently did. :D At one time ACL were constantly releasing statements, although the original JR was hanging over their heads. For example, they were going to sue NTFC, weren't they? What happened to that?

Surely thats defamation to Les Reid calling him Les Reed! He wouldn't be happy - expect a tweet any second!

I tend to agree. As I said it never stopped them releasing almost daily statements throughout the summer.
