Thanks Daska - I missed the earlier posts. This is like Kafka too. Someone says there is grafitti and leafletting. No one posting here has directly witnessed any of this. No one posting here accepts any responsibilitiy for doing this. Our working hypothesis should be that there isno grafitti nor any...

Leaflets and grafitti

Given the amazing interpretations that Roger Pincham / SES placed on Matthew's open letter (which was published here for over a month for all to see and comment on including current SES members) I am wondering what other disconnects we are working with. The response refers to Grafitti and Leaflets. ...

Thanks Stanton. I personally accept your apology for your part in this. There is one aspect that I would like to explore with you. At the time of the original posting, you received feedback on this thread expressing considerable doubt as to the authenticity of the letter you were referring to. The d...

Re: Pincham's reply to Open Letter

The expectation is that this will be completed by the end of the Summer Term and implemented in the next academic year. Please note the precise wording - "implemented in the next academic year". Accordingly, it will be possible for existing governors to remain in place until the last day of the nex...

The sun and the wind

I like you Ben W, and I don't give a Castlemaine( TM ) if you don't like me anymore! - tough! Thanks Shout - I still like you. I have a story I use in circumstances such as this. I'm sure you've heard it. It has helped me more than once. If it helps then it is yours, if not please ignore... The sto...

Shout, To be clear, I am not calling for you to leave this BB. I find a lot of truth, humour, and insight in your words. From time to time, in line with your moniker, there is loundess and harshness too. No problem with loud - just with harshness. We are all in search of healing - that road unites u...

Celia - I have PM'd you on this. Shout - I have stated before that first and foremost this is a site for healing. Maybe you have misunderstood the suffering of others (including Celia and my mother) on this board. Maybe you do not wish to, or are incapable of understanding it. Either way - I do not ...

SESSA and PPIAG

Shout, Following Free's comment I too am confused about PPIAG and SESSA. Some postings indicate they are clear and up front about their aims, others imply that they are shady (my word). I feel I am missing something although exactly what is not clear. Please PM me on this if you prefer. btw - since ...

Well - you poor northern hemisphere people are still at work, whereas we upside down folk are well into the weekend. I'm a few white wines in, though hopefully coherent enough for this posting. xstJ - In response to your question I looked through Stanton's postings over the last 7 days (a period whe...

Response to xstJ

Hi xstJ, On the first point - fair question. I'll try and answer over the weekend, unless others want to have a go. On the second point, I believe a number of people are asking for this through the BB - certainly ET and Alban's names spring to mind. I include myself in the group. Others who are supp...

Dear All, I think the point has been made. I personally would be upset if Stanton were to be driven away from the site. I see her as a valuable contributor, and someone who is capable of helping us forward. We are enouraging Mary Pickering to come here. She is probably reading this site as we write,...

Response from Sara

Dear All, I've just spoken with Sara who over the last 24 hours has been flying back to the UK after spending a few weeks with us here in Melbourne. I told her that I had posted her words which made her nervous, and that she had received four responses which increased her nervousness no end. I then ...
