A few comments have come my way. The decision to remove a member was to protect the good name and general niceness that our forum enjoys. We must at all times respect each and everyone's views. The general vibe was that Dr B was not conducting himself in the way that earned respect. This was not about taking sides as some have said. It's not a decision I wanted to take, but felt that it was the right one.
I hope you all understand it's my job to keep things on an even keal, and most of all a high standard.

I cannot add to what you have said. I have had both calibre's for many years and would always want a .177 for target shooting and HFT but would then always use my .22 for hunting.
