how is it elitist when anyone can join these meetings and discussions? And many have.

In fact, I didn't go to the chant meetings that were held, So I'm not even personally being elitist.

But can take the point that it wasn't a particularly constructive comment in itself.

The issue was raised by two people or which Bobobalde was one. One of his comments he made was around elitism initially. Patrick, has reached out to him in an effort to show him thats not the case and he has rounded this off by saying that he was glad to help fuel the positive commentary this time around (or the word 'again' as he used). You then slam him by effectively dismissing his contribution by saying that he didn't start the conversation and this was going on long before he was around and any contribution, regardless of what little it is, is nothing. Considering you post a lot and one of the larger contributors to this place, would it not have hurt to have left it or said something positive rather than slam him and have him thinking 'here we go again'. You tend to fly off the handle more than I do yet I am the grumpy one....
