Thanks for this Andy.
You say
"If we are finished having a go at someone who was doing me a massive favour by taking the minutes and arguing over something that has been withdrawn..
Honestly, I despair at times"
Except that you also say
"On holiday abroad at the moment and not particularly paying attention on line"
Indeed, you haven't been paying attention!
CS officials have been quick to throw up their hands in ‘despair’ (and have a go at questioners, as you have) but CS members are entitled to ask questions.
The first question Derek asked was met with puzzlement and posture, although Derek was perfectly correct. With a normal constructive response to a simple question, for example
"We forgot this but we'll check it"
instead of
"no we didn't forget this" or "O, I am slain" (I paraphrase!)
(even though it's clear in the minutes that it WAS omitted) there would have been no need for a thread on Derek’s motion.
I don't know whether you're having a go at me as well, after all I supported Derek's right to a straight answer and CS is supposed to be democratic. Perhaps you can also confrim you think it is OK for the CWP to be able to ‘clarify’ directly into the minutes without this even being admitted?
On 'massive facours', why did you pick such a close connection of CS managements and Hamish as minute-taker? The minute taker is an important role and needs to be uncompromised by connections.
Cheers
