It is a good question.
Why did Yoshii Yoshii Lem create an unmoderated channel for a thing she does no business in?
I know exactly why it was set up. Maybe its time you were honest about that. It is misleading to the would be joiners of your channel if you are not honest with them. Creating false pretenses about the reasons behind setting up the channel is harmful to the space community - whom I care about deeply.
I am all for space travelers to be connected and informed as much as they wish to be, however creating yet another space channel, particularly under false pretenses is not the way to go about that. The more muddy the waters become, the less clear info is out there, and the less people come to space. We all lose on that. Imagine there were 17 different #arkadia channels all with the same purpose, just that one dude from each of them doesn't like each other, and they all only speak in their own - what a blooming pain in the arse.
There is already a 2500 member space travel ( #space_travel ) channel where all pilots, crew, service providers, travellers etc etc can advertise their services or needs and get to the majority of those interested in space. There is no biased, no clique, everyone equal to advertise their space service. If you choose to spam the channel with other shit though, be prepared to be asked to stop ruining the channel for everyone else.
You can of course set up any channel you wish and no one is going to try to stop you, but don't make things harder for the people of space to connect due to your personal grievances.
You created your channel as a direct retaliation as a result of being muted in the dominant space travel channel. You were pissed about being muted so set up your own channel, where you could bitch as much as you liked. As simple as. You even admitted that here yourself by whining about being muted and that you don't like being moderated etc. You might as well say it as it is... - was being a pain in the ass for everyone, got muted, got pissed, set up new channel and proclaimed it to be something its not.
My only issue with what your doing is it misleads people who might not know the background
You and your cronies were bitching and bad mouthing continuously another service provider in the space travel chat. It was getting beyond a joke for everyone in that channel. To be honest no one really cares what your opnion on everyone else is, no need to go on and on and on about it! ( we are talking over several months here, not just a short term blip). For the sake of clarity, this service provider was not TOS, so in essence it has no negative impact on our business. In fact it is a space service provider drama that has been bubbling on for a long time now, and is spilling over causing every one needless grief. What it did do however was piss off the people in the space travel who were getting bored of the same shit, different day.
So Yoshii and her cronies were advised that the space travel channel was not designed for that sort of bitching, and to give it a rest. This of course didn't happen, they got temporarily muted. Voila - new channel appeared - as advertised here - Job done!
On a personal level, we have known each other for many years yoshii, I have always considered you a friend. All of this seems absurd and a bit daft really. I don't really know what you wish for the outcome of all of this to be, to me it just looks like it will be leading to losing friends , creating isolation and divides that have no place here. Looking back to where this whole hoo haa started really makes all this look silly.
