Posted by Scarlet Olivia in Observation and questions for all candidates

(Snip)

Everyone is trying so darned hard to make it sound like things are running smoothly, that there needs to be no changes or anything of the sort that it has me highly suspicious. I’m the kind of person who starts questioning when people seem to be leaping in to all sing the same song save for the one person those singing the same tune are singing as loud as they can to drown out.

Worse, when the current elected individuals get in and seem to do the same stuff. Makes me wonder what has people so afraid that they want to stamp down this one individual voice. I don’t really get the agenda, I know there is one and I know denial is going to be quick. Before anyone leaps at me and says I am making accusations, I’m not, I am just voicing something that seems to be a way and weather someone thinks I am right or wrong is their opinion, just as this is mine.

Scarlet,

It is not within the bounds of appropriate Election Ship ettiquette to suggest that other posters have malicious intent, e.g. “an agenda”, with the posting of their questions. It’s bad to do because it discourages the participation of other members in the election process, and generally doesn’t persuade anybody of anything.

Whether you are right or wrong, please refrain from making such suggestions going forward, unless you have some actual evidence to support them. And if you do have evidence, please present it to me so I can determine if something inappropriate has taken place.

I’m letting the question itself stand because all candidates were content to answer it, and I think the observation of the club’s behavior regarding TJ is an interesting one (though not necessarily very flattering for him or anybody).

Thanks,
Joe
