Im a bit lost now.

I have had more than a few delicately phrased words with Stephen Card which ..... In retrospect....could (should) be split 50/50 in the blame department.
I infer that he has been banned from this site which is obviously nothing to do with me.....i know nothing about it.....i knew nothing of this site until Tuesday last when i was emailed by NickNz suggesting i join.
In recent weeks have been in collaboration of sorts with him in researching a few matters of a maritime nature.....and have found him to be precisely the opposite of what my prejudiced impression of him previously took him to be.

Whatever anyone's view....his knowledge and experience of matters marine are unparalleled.....his willingness to research on behalf of others ditto.....his ability to depict ships on canvas is somewhat better than mine.

I don't know if i have "put up a black" by mentioning him......if so....it was unintended.

I would grateful if someone would be kind enough to enlighten me.
