Just to correct any misinterpretation/misunderstanding, the NERB section of this site is, as I tried to illucidate earlier, for NERB members. That was the understanding I was under when I first, reluctantly, agreed to attend meetings/discussions on this Forum.If this is not the case, then I will, reluctantly have to reevaluate my participation.
Just a final point, then I'll let it lie. If reminders are posted after posts by a particuler postee but not after posts by others, can people not see that this, although mod1 states "Reminder are not posted for any particular post or user, but for all posts and users." can in and of itself be seen as a chastisement of a "particular" postee? and a form of targetting!I know full well that this will be understood and can in no way be taken out of context, the point is will the "meaning" be taken in and fully comprehended?Over to others.
Well, the crap on this thread has left me feeling a mite unclean, so gonna have a shower to wash off the ill-will.Be on later. Welcome aboard the Cannonball express Casey.
Not only Branch Meetings Stevie but any thread on the NERB portion of the Forum.Think of it this way, if we got together for a chat in a local hostelry, to for instance, discuss an item of interest to us, and someone shoved their fizzog into the chat uninvited, it would'nt be well recieved. This is how I supposed our little space of the Forum would operate!It's not NERB's fault we were forced on here because of the shite way the Yahoo site worked.
Well Vin, I,m off this thread. As usual, the usual has happened. Before I go Vin, have you seen any "reminder" for post 12? Thought I may be missing something!Well, may see you on the Branch meeting thread.All the best to you and your's.Steve.
Perverse would be more applicable Vin. Cruel and unusual as apt. Try and spread the Socialist message and you need a cricket box and a boxers headguard. Strange, truly strange!!!
YMS, think you are being a bit disingenuous there. NERB were "all but forced" to hold meetings and other business on this Forum, because the yahoo site is/was totally shite.Members one would think, would show a modicum of decorum and coimmon sense when dealing with the NERB part of this site because of this.No member would go to another branches meeting and just open up, they would wait for the "Chair" to permit it. As everyone knows, or should, the idea of a Branch conducting itself "online" is new and if it is to succeed, then non NERB members need to show some restraint and moreover, respect. I understand this is difficult for certain members, their usual modus operandi seems to be, "stir up a shit storm" where non exists but we are all supposedly "Comrades", so self restraint should not, in theory, be that hard to come by. After all, we are all also supposed to be self aware Socialists, as opposed to the normal run of the mill blindfolded workers!!!Get the drift, YMS?
Have read the comment on the NERB site, which was unsolicited. As a site moderator, I certainly have not given Matt permission to post, so I think an apology from Matt is in order!Or does Matt think IC membership status gives "him" and "them" carte blanche to do as they like?
Excellent work comrades.I await with interest, the outcome of the "visit". To get to talk with an "interested" group of teenagers is and of itself remarkable. More power to your efforts K+S branch
So we have some wise ass, flagging "my" post (wonder what reason is given) and also Adam telling me this thread is in the wrong section of the Forum!Hi Adam, I wasn't sure where to place this thread, Website/Technical or General. So I opted for this section of the Forum.As for "Off Topic", well, either we have no leeway for "any" and I do mean "any" post/posts or, have it stated categorically that there is a purely ad hoc approach to site moderation. This would be the simplest way to address the issue and would have the added bonus of letting everyone know where they stood/stand.
I have just read the final page on the "Are physical meetings the best form of democratic control in 2015?". Every single post, if one adheres strictly to the thread Heading, is "Off Topic"! Now tell me, and I've just finished reading the full page, how many have been "Flagged" as "Off Topic"? Not one!
Just goes to show the old aphorism is correct, the one about leading a horse to water!I'm not being overly protective of "his supporters" at all, nor should we presuppose they are "supporters" but after years of austerity, these workers are "looking around for an answer".Nor would I use images of cul-de-sacs, any more than use the front cover we did, in fact, use!If one were running a cake shop, one wouldn't make a cake in the shape of a turd. No matter the dilicacy awaiting consumption on the inside, I'm betting there would be few, if any, takers.Thats the message I'm trying to get across!!! Not that we should be soft on Corbyn but that we should at least be circumspect with those that see something in "an alternative". At least, that is, until we get them in range of our "intellectual guns" so to speak, then give them both barrels and if gnome and yourself like, the odd pineapple too.Its about "method" and the delivery system of said message. Oh look mam, there's a cake shop, can I have one of those that look like a turd!!!!
