I keep getting that lol, nobody has ever seen me wear a shirt before and I got to hear about it. Good job I didn't break a tie out it would have caused a riot
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I keep getting that lol, nobody has ever seen me wear a shirt before and I got to hear about it. Good job I didn't break a tie out it would have caused a riot I, for one, would have asked who had died.
Capricorn Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 How many people in this thread and how many actually went through to the AGM to get proper feedback and offer constructive advice?Yeah, thought so... for those that work horrible hours, that's a backhanded comment. Tell me then, why must the AGM be the only forum to get proper feedback (wtf does that mean to begin with?) and offer constructive advice? while the backhands are at the ready, what's the new promises made at this AGM?

Obviously not everybody can get there but given the attendance at the meeting last year brought in, at a guess, at least eight times as many as this year then I doubt it was all down to the majority working late. As for the feedback - people had questions that were answered (some well some not do well) right there and then leaving no room for error in interpretation.

Tell me then, why must the AGM be the only forum to get proper feedback (wtf does that mean to begin with?) and offer constructive advice? while the backhands are at the ready, what's the new promises made at this AGM?I actually nearly got lost on the way there. As far as I recall Cap most people with a question got it answered and loads was shared re the position with Parks. Lots to be positive about. We just need to give our support to the committee.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Oh - there was also a list of "difficult questions" (as SANPARKS referred to them) which we (MTB Public) are charged with putting together and presenting to them so that we can better understand their position and goals. The list will be made public, and can be added to, so if you have a question that you think Parks can / need to answer, then you can add it to the list. Thi swill also come in the next few days.

We just need to give our support to the committee. i'm not advocating not supporting any one. where did that interpretation come from? jeepers. anyway, i resent snotty comments about ppl not showing up, especially the follow up bs about last year's vs this year's numbers. What a load of ***. honestly. Mark woulda been better to just apologise and move along. getting answers here or there: it should be no different. This place and time specific condition for 'good answers' is a load of manure. I hope the 'special responses' were all documented so the rest of us 'slackers' can finally get a clue as to wth is going on. Or must we wait till next year's AGM?

Certainly didn't mean to imply that the committee couldn't count on your support.

Capricorn Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 here's where it happens. here's we it should end. why drag this on? really Mark. unless of course you dont agree about it all being unremorseful nonsense? if that's the case, honestly there's nothing to discuss here or anywhere.

I have to agree with you here Cap. I couldn't be at the AGM either because I was stuck in Joburg. ( I was at last years one). Getting "proper" feedback shouldn't be dependent on being at the AGM, it should be on a continual basis throughout the year, not just "special" occasions. Anyway, I'm going to catch my flight, and see how this blows up when I land
