"Bee in the Bonnet" is not a belittling statement. A bonnet is like a hat, and when you have a bee buzzing around inside, you start freaking out.
Me thinks you need to grow some thicker skin if you don't like it when people disagree with your opinion. I don't really see that people were being insulting towards you. It's a forum with people from all walks of life and different perspectives. If we were sitting around drinking beers, it would make the conversations more easily understandable.
I think one problem is that you seem to be latched on to a love/hate with 32Red. Many of us perceive this. There are a number of threads where you received consultations from me and Max to chill a bit. So when 32Red pops up and you're part of the conversation, I automatically take things with a grain of salt. And I can understand your alarm when you see a casino that at first goes up and beyond the normal call of duty and then retracts a function like the SE choice. But this does not make them bad. And they are not breaching their compliance towards the UKGC.
My main job here is to maintain order and to ensure that if people are complaining about something, that the complaints are balanced and fair. If there are serious complaints (non-payments, cheating software, etc.,) then I'll take action. If it's a complaint about a policy that the casino has chosen to undertake, then I'll take a look at it and decide what I want to do about it e.g. seeing if their policy goes against their licensor's rules, guidelines or regulations. With 32Red, they do not violate the UKGC's regulations. You or I may not like it, but that's how it is. And there are loads of casinos that don't even have something like this set up. So what's the big deal?
It's rare that we will all agree on the same thing. I have had disagreements with some of my closest friends, and this doesn't make us stop speaking to one another. There are a number of forum members that disagree with me on a number of things, and we agree to disagree. I think this is one of these moments.

I think Bryan the big deal is that Harry (and those of us whom were impassioned about that err....recent thread) were so because we compared their actions in the context of accredited casinos which are in the CM family and/or UKGC licensed. Nearly every one has instant self-set RG. We weren't ever comparing their actions to rogues or not-recommended sites with flaccid or non-existent licensing authorities.
Having said that, me and other long-time members here have had worse spankings or disagreements and in another thread are readily thanking or agreeing with our opposites from the one before. A forum isn't the place to hold a beef. In fact the opposite - come and have a pint next February everyone! And that includes YOU Harry! I'd love a photo of Mark and you supping a beer in Waxy's.
So yep, listen to Bryan and the rest, move on and get posting again....
Thanks again for the kind words, assures me I have done a few things right.
) and stop looking back and move forward.THAT 32Red thread just proved the point that impassioned debate can happen, and that not everyone has to agree on everything. We all observe the same things differently and react in totally unique ways. Take any recent immigration thread, just shows how diverse us lot actually are round here!
Imagine if we all just nodded in agreement on every single topic, it'd be strange indeed. I'm still waiting for my chastisement from CM, it can't be far away now (touch wood)! but although I don't feel slighted by anyone here, I feel it probably would be for the best to just drop the issue now and move on.
Take a small break by all means Harry but know that your input pretty much made that SE thread and is always worth paying heed too. We need more of your input m'lad!
Now, I thought for our next topic I thought we could all debate whether lesbian midgets have the right to procreate with dead animals
