...before it's pulled?
The forum belongs to Rob, and Rob can direct the forum however he wants to. I would like to believe that Rob is the dispassionate observer, or "hall monitor", that he claims to be. But a dispassionate observer shouldn't have an agenda. Being a reflection of the Puna community shouldn't mean trying to bend Puna to one individual's vision. I feel like that has happened here, but I would really like to know that I'm wrong. There was a thread here about Green Mountain when I left for work today. It's gone now. The whole thread was entirely censored out of existence. The thread was started by a long time webber. The originating post was full of misinformation. Being intimately involved with the situation in question, I responded in a non-emotional way, just simply stating facts as they are. There was a second post from the originator that was demeaning and disparaging to, not just me, but all of the other actors in the story. I posted again to reiterate that there was no need to denigrate me or the other people involved. I also got an email from the originator asking me to call her and have a "real" discussion about the subject.
BWTM...There was a first reply by the moderator stating that Green Mountain would make a great candidate for the 2% land acquisition deal. The suggestion that the 2% land acquisition was not meant to condemn private land by the County was pointed out by two (possibly more) posts (not by me), and then the entire thread was pulled by the moderator.
I feel like that one lonely guy who finally gets his point across and then his computer screen goes suddenly dark...
