Let's start again #1

The recent posts mean I am disappointed in a number of people, particularly including myself.

I apologize to those I have offended and disappointed.

Everyone has buttons, things which if pressed produce a response, and mine have been well and truly prodded over the past months. It should be possible to use the self-awareness of what they are to avoid a response which is regretted later, and I have failed to do that.

If there is anyone who wishes to continue to discuss the history behind this, including all of the 'who said what where when to who's, let's take it to private email.

If it is possible to continue to discuss the issues of the decisions in a reasonable manner, and I hope it is, then please see the next post.

If you are withdrawing the article you deleted from BCN you must tell them right away.

The post here has gone private for at least a while rather than being deleted.

I'm going to trust Jen's judgement on what happens to the BCN version.

Well, (a) it's already gone to print, and (b) the important thing IMO is that this gets aired in the community.

£3700 is about £25 per attendee, or damn near the surpluses of Edinburgh, Cambridge and Greenwich put together. That's a hell of a lot of community volunteer time, doing largely thankless work that through creating the surplus made the job that little bit easier for future organisers and teams. As one of the people who helped create that surplus, I'd be far more annoyed if we airbrushed over the matter in BCN instead.
