Then maybe let Calin response. I dunno why you get upset then. My reaction might be harsh at this moment because itś a pointless discussion.
Their for i withdrawn from this disucssion because it wont get us anywhere.
And not every post has to be constructive. I dont typ miles long saying thngs twice over and over again. I find it rather rude to force our opuion on somebody who does a great job and knows the community inside out. Just because she out on a ONE week holiday everybody is after her.
I leave it here. I got more the feeling you are out to get me then doing a discussion MS9.
I'm not upset ... just posting an opinion Faye, and I'm certainly not
out to get you whatsoever. In fact, I have always considered you a friend, so not sure what's going on here at all.
Also ... it's a shame that you can't find value in what some are posting about the responsibilities of a community manger. It's
not about Hanne, but about the position, and that the interaction with the community is not as effective as it could be, but we fault FPC for this rather than Hanne. Hanne
is a lovely person, and I absolutely respect her experience and knowledge of this universe and community, so no issues there whatsoever. It also has nothing to do with her being out on a one week vacation either, but rather it would have been a nice gesture to alert the community so there were no expectations of communication during the time she was gone. It's a common courtesy that's done in business environments all the time, so this too isn't something new.
On another note ... no one is forcing an opinion on anyone whatsoever, but rather participating in a discussion, and you can draw your value where you may. As emphatic as you've been in defending Hanne, which I don't really feel is necessary because this isn't about her personally, one could assess that you might be forcing your opinion on others as well. However, I just accept it as your view and respect that. The only critical point I made was toward your one-liner pot shot at Calin, which only puts people on the defensive, rather than adding constructive content to the discussion.
Thing is ... being constructive in a discussion adds value, and gives people a different perspective to consider. It's also a way to get the attention of those who need to be aware of community opinions and suggestions in order to make things better. The moment you introduce rudeness, or attack another person's post (especially a constructive one), it takes the discussion off course, with the potential of becoming worse.
Faye ... I have nothing against you whatsoever, and have always been respectful toward you, but it was my opinion that your response to Calin was really uncalled for, because it so much as said that what he posted had no value, which in fact it truly did, and that only your opinion mattered. I hope we can get past this, because your views are just as important as those of everyone else's in this community, and we should be respectful of differing perspectives.
