I’m a new member of this club /forum and as such I don’t actually know any of you or the reasons this club seems to be split into 2 camps at the moment. To be truthful at the moment I don’t want to.
But that’s not my point. The current set of round robin is being conducted on an OPEN forum, so anybody can read it, i.e. members and NON-MEMBERs.
While you all are entitled to you opinions and to voice them, they should be voiced in a private members area, say a section for members to discuss issues involving how the club is managed, grievances, etc, not where they can be read by people who are not members, BUT maybe thinking of joining.
Not only does all this wrangling put the club and yourselves, and might I say Torque-power, (as it seems to be the signature of a lot of the people with negative issues towards this club) in a bad light, but it will put people off joining either club/forum.
Without new members as well established members both will suffer.
I wish you’d all go out and get drunk together and settle your differences, and maybe remember you used to be mates.
I’m a new member and I don’t want to get involved in this dispute, but I do think that it should not be discussed on a public area.
“Washing your dirty laundry in public” is never a good thing!
Please also remember the reasons for AUP’s on any forum is because British law applies here too. If you make slanderous, defamatory, abusive or “insight to cause” comments you can be prosecuted.
The Club is only trying to protect itself and you.
May be the committee should have a members only area where they can explain why someone was banned and what rules of the AUP where breached.
I hope you all can settle you differences, and move this club forward, as I believe all of you only want what’s best for this club.
