I am posting this openly and not as a PM because I feel that the comments made in the response to my post were unjustified.
Nothing was 'raked' up to be nasty or malicious, it was my personal honest and fair comment on how I feel about attending the meet and my reasons for that feeling. I expected a response in the same vein as mine, a fair one.
The response to the post has only served to prove that my feelings are justified. Strange though how the bit about my wife was raked up too. She quit because of the responses to me being on the receiving end of bullying too by that same person who it appears possibly had a protected position until the actions became far too out of control and caused the uproar that then began. Why were those comments not seen before the posts were posted? Same situation as me possibly because I too was unaware of what my wife had posted in a vain attempt to support me until I read it later and had I seen it prior to its posting I would have stopped it being posted.
Surely some of the main qualities expected in a moderator would be those of diplomacy, impartiality and also fairness for everyone regardless of their standing?
I understand what/why you are saying, irrespective of whether I agree or not.
What I am asking is for is that this is kept on that other thread - "Omega Owners Forum". Reasons, twofold:
1) It keeps all problems/views/experiences about the current state of OOF in one place. Easy to find, rather than us trying to look over 1.2m posts to find the info to collate.
2) Having the same theme scattered all over the site is poisonous for OOF, and does more harm than you could imagine. Under normal circumstances, I'd moderate it and take it to PM, but currently over-sensitive to being accused of trying to sweep it under the carpet.
Further similar posts probably will get moderated if not on that other thread - feel free to post your concerns there.
Thank you for you understanding.
