Its has got ridiculous but to be fair i think theyre people who have joined and have a bit of an agenda. The "residents" of this site have all been pretty fair in my opinion. I think theres a lot of people in stafford who feel that there is something a little fishy about the whole thing but one or two have gone a bit too far.
I agree many have been very open to a reasonable discussion. I came on here to try and respond to a number of allegations etc that seemed to be being made. I have perhaps done nothing to assuage these but that was my intent.
I think some have very genuine concerns and I have tried to address these. Others quite clearly have agendas that are not open. I made a simple decision to not make my identity impenetrable as I wanted to explain a position and be open. Others have come on with an agenda not so easy to judge as they are less forthcoming with interests.
Through my discussions with neighbours it is clear some would be happy. It is clear some are others are not. It would be regrettable surely if people who were campaigning as they "Just don't want it" were to use smear campaigns etc to try and dredge support when this was their only real agenda, if they would try and rip through the honest reputation of others with no regard because they "don't like" something . As I have mentioned, and then been threatened to an extent, the SPAG group were very quick to put up posts about "backstabbing" etc when people were not seen to do their bidding. Then later take them down. Facebook - generally seen as quite open - shut down a profile set up in the name of Virginia Park which tried to say it represented the estate but was seemingly a person hiding behind a name to make false statements etc.
I must admit I am a little disappointed in some of the people of Stafford (or where ever) who feel that posting personal social media bits etc is relevant on a forum built on free speech and anonymity. As I have said time and time again - when using an avatar I think you have responsibility not to say things you would not otherwise say.
You may not like my answers, or agree with my opinions but I have tried to engage and make honest replies. I think the response from a few has been interesting, is this the view of reasoned discussion or the tantrums of somebody who feels they may not get their way
