However I do take issue with your stance that apparently one has to have an artistic/design/architectural background to be entitled to express an opinion about something that will be built in the area they live. So if someone doesn't like someone or dares to hold a differing view it means they don't understand it? Perhaps all it means is they don't like it, and are entitled to have a different perception or reaction.

I've already said I'm not particularly bothered about your proposals, just that I hoped despite the petition it would be treated like any other plan and follow the usual application procedures. I'm amazed you even cited my name as one of the critics, as I have quite a balanced view. But I DO have a right to express an opinion about it on a public forum concerning Forest Hill, the place I call home.
