Thanks for taking the time to explain, rather than snipe. Fair points and relfections, and you're also entitled to your opinion.I am just a bit bemused by some of your recent postings.
I wouldn't have described myself as staunch or a flag waver... I only voted for 4 3P candidates in the FC election after all. But I did think the open meet up was something that was a big step forward in how the club/board(s) interacted with their fans/supporters, and I was genuinely appreciative of the promise that thesey would be regular, before and after the election.It seemed not that long ago that you were a staunch 3P flag waver, and would jump in and argue their case - particuarly around the time of the meet up earlier this year and the level 3 thread.
You're entitled to your opinion of course. But I don't really need anyone else to share my view or come around to my way of thinking. I actually couldn't care less about that, I just am happy using the forums to express my view - and care a lot about the right for people to express themselves, whatever their personal view and however it might change. I don't think I've stooped to personally attacking or belittling anyone for their point of view and how they express it though, which I think says more about hyper sensitivity?In that context, I find your post that I bolded above bemusing. Nothing more, nothing less. You are just coming across a but hyper sensitive IMO about people not sharing/seeing your view ATM.
I'm happy to express and elaborate my opinion on here, and "engage" with anyone if they like. Haven't seen much of that going on lately though I must say, hence the bolded bit of my post that you highlighted. I wouldn't call that hyper sensitive, just expressing my opinion on people's recent conduct on here (deadly silence on some issues mixed with belittling rather than engaging discussion), though I acknowledge that usually when you respond to my posts, you at least acknowledge fair points.If you've had a change of heart about the 3P guys recently, thats fine - you're entitled to - but accept that, now that the end game of this election is here, some people might want to engage your opinions. People have different ways of going about it, no need to get hyper sensitive
I think my post #432 expresses how I've felt 3P have changed since January, not sure why and there have been no public answers or further details for a few months now on those two issues, which are/were the most important to me. It's pretty much as simple as that, what you read is what you get - no deep hidden agendas. ;-)and remember it wasnt so long ago you were one of the people going into bat for 3P and challenging the dissenters/questioners.
Friday night, Sterlos balconey, your shout, we can talk more. ;-)
Will be good to finally meet you and chat in person if you'll be around in the club on Friday arvo... and I might even do first shout, so long as you drink Old!
