I have the impression that the forces behind the creation of the new Arthur Ransome Website are doing a repeat of the Great Aunt.

Where is the evidence for this?

If "the forces behind the creation of the new Arthur Ransome Website" is shorthand for TARS, then simply look at the things that are actually being DONE - as opposed to being just argued over on this Website. Look, for instance, at the TARS Eastern Region Website rally pictures.

Some of us, at least, ask no more than quite simply to enjoy Ransome and his heritage. Sailing where he sailed, walking where he walked, reading what we can into his books. Sharing our enjoyment with like minds.

I greatly value TARBOARD, and at its best it gives a new dimension to thoughts about Ransome. But I do get fed up with the perennial and negative undertones of argument and criticism. Cannot we disagree - if we have to - in a civilised manner?

And, believe me, if anybody has new and better ideas of Ransomish things to do, then all they have to do is to step forward and help to organise them.
