The Lakesea bush dancers' weekend at the coast was
a lovely weekend of bush walking and bush dancing, and other
activities of folk's own choice like cycling and practising for the
upcoming Scottish ball. Everyone had a great time and it is on again
next year, all being well, on the Winter Solstice weekend of 21 June
2014. There are some pics and videos at http://dance.pcug.org.au/new.htm
We arrived home to find no improvement in the
ongoing saga of the MFS Announce moderation mess. There in our inbox
was the message that we had sent out the Sunday just over a week
before, about the weekend that we just returned from
(better late than never, well not really in this case) and another of
our messages about Wongawilli that had been languishing who knows
where. Intriguingly, the latter message was sent to MFS Announce as
if it was not from us, but from the control person. I don't know how
she managed to forward a message that was sent to MFS Announce from
her own email account, and I don't know why she thinks I would want
my messages to appear as if coming from her? I have written asking
for an explanation.
There was also a pleasant enough email from the
control person explaining some of the reasons behind previous delays. But she is in denial about the real reason, and that is the unfair and indefensible change to my status on MFS Announce. The reasons given so far are alleged but unsubstantiated complaints and a dislike of me expressing my opinion in this blog. Contrived reasons. My
point is that, like all other regular contributors that are MFS
members, we should not be relying on the health and availability of
the control person or anyone else for the service to work. The ongoing campaign of
harassment and abuse of power arising (I think) from a dislike of me
expressing my opinion on this blog means that I am not interested in
pleasantries - I want action and I want it now!
