Quote: The Avenger "I offered my opinion on here, it was done in good faith and with the best of intentions. It wasn't done as any form of criticism of anyone, in fact I went out if my way to illustrate that point, it was just an opinion.
In the end I trusted those who were shouldering the work on behalf of all of us, just like everyone else on here. In fact I toned down my opinions and kept them to myself at the request of those who would be sitting at a table opposite Colin Mackie.
My opinion throughout has been the same but I've said little on the matter.
Why so interested, are you suggesting I should form a breakaway group and do things separately from and without consultation with the ST.
Professionally I have a conflict of interest in fighting this corner publicly, it would possibly cost me my job to speak out and do anything using my real name, it would certainly set me on the outside of my work colleagues were I to be in any way prominent in a protest.'"
As I said on another thread, we don't have a monopoly on the 'right' way to do things, but we have fought this campaign for 11 years now and are best placed to judge all of the information / people we are dealing with. We haven't always agreed, in fact we have very different opinions within the group, but we are able to reach consensus which is why we've managed to keep going this long.
I don't hold anything against anyone have a different POV, all I ask is that people accept that any decisions / actions we take are made with the best intention of trying to put us in a position to achieve the best result possible for our club!
The 22nd is a pivotal day, and not just the public meeting, until the very day itself we will be unsure of exactly what we are going to say, albeit we have a fair idea!
