CV Q & A FORUM MASTER RESIGNS

Hi All,
The following Post is extracted from the CV Q & A:

A certain group of people will be thrilled to know that I have turned in my resignation as chair of this forum, effective today. I made that decision last Friday, which Randall is aware of, but I didn't hand in my resignation until today.

Dave Israel, you asked me to open this forum up to any and all postings. You know now, and have always known that I have operated this forum under rules that were given to me.

You are even aware that this forum was supposedly given to me with a free hand to run AS I SAW FIT, and the minute I did make a decision ON MY OWN, I caught 'what-for' for doing so.

You helped to perpetuate the lie that I made all the decisions about what was allowed to be posted on this forum. Shame on you, but you have to live with that.......I don't.

I have a very clear conscience. I ran this forum as a favor to the administration that was last voted in. That was, up until last Friday, and continues to be, my only interest in this forum.

Volunteering for this community, and working with an administration that I continue to have the utmost respect for, was a pleasure.

Dave, I could care less if you continue your blog, or close it down. In either case, one thing for sure, you won't catch me telling lies about you, like you have done about me.

THE BLOGMEISTER RESPONDS


The only comment I can make on Carole's Post is that the argument:

"I WAS JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS"

Is a long discredited philosophy.

As for lying, I lied about no one; you were the Forum Master; you were given a free hand; thus, upon the first Editorial interference you should have resigned.

Carole, was limited to what has become a censorship issue in the forum and continued into the UCO reporter, where the President libeled former Officers without even an objection from the Editors or residents of this village


This along with other events clearly shows the use of others to defray direct criticism from the mistakes this former officer made. I have heard others refer to this action as throwing another under the bus!

We need leadership that would find Harry Truman’s view proper, “the buck stops here”

Now the delegate Assembly has spoken and clearly this behavior will no longer be tolerated. The Delegate Assembly has regained the reigns of power.

WELCOME BACK!

All crude angry comments on the forum were triggered by CaroleS actions. Also one mini lapse on the blog recently, for CaroleS again.

Live and learn. Wikihow: As a community forum administrator, be prepared to encounter some occasional harassment. Disruptive users are a sad fact of internet life, and many of them do not take kindly to being banned from the community. If you are highly sensitive to criticism, you may want to consider letting someone else run your community for you.

This blog has been up for over 6 months and I don't remember anyone cursing or threatening the blog administrator or anyone else.

I am confused by CaroleS comments. In the early years of Q&A she was adamant that there was no UCO control. She did insist on her right to spread her own opinions - that is not generally acceptable from forum moderators who understand professionalism and etiquette. Now she says ‘rules that were given to me’, ‘free hand to run AS I SAW FIT’, ‘the lie that I made all the decisions’. HUH!

I hope the remaining Q&A Forum group (are they a UCO Cmte.??) will discard what they learned from CaroleS and will check forum moderator eqtiquette online
