Sativa,
I have no dog in this fight. I do not have a personal relationship with anyone who has any affiliation with Hiccup circus, Belly Acres, or the Village Green society. I never even went to the SPACE market when I lived in Seaview, so I truly have no reason to defend anyone involved in all this.
You might want to ask yourself what it is about your actions, tactics, methods and written words on this issue that would lead a genuine outside observer to perceive you as making it personal. The fact that multiple people here have referred to it as a vendetta says a lot about how your actions are being perceived, and in my case how they are being perceived by someone who has no reason to support one side or another in this. In fact I am a big fan of transparent, open and above board actions on the part of community groups, NGOs, and nonprofits, not to mention government.
Anyone who wants to succeed at working to change public policy and work in the public arena needs to remember that the public pays attention to not only what is said, but how it is said. If one side comes across as gloating over the downfall of another side, they no longer are perceived as working for the common good, but as someone who is using the system to "get" other people.
Just some food for thought.

Every time you feel yourself getting pulled into other people's nonsense, repeat these words: Not my circus, not my monkeys.
