I do not hate the FRA, nor have I ever stated anything to the contrary. On any forum. I still believe the FRA is a good idea. If anything the only grief I have with it is that it sometimes responds to slow.
And as to my reference to remove my postings is due to the nature of these postings in this thread. I leave that up to your judgement.
Sorry thanks for making that clear, but maybe it is just me as lately most of your posts seem to be aimed at making other people feel that they cannot post contravertial questions on this forum as they will be deleted, it is unfortunate that you think that way and hopefully in the future you will change you mind.
You are however right in that the FRA does respond slow but this is mainly due to the fact that we are all volunteers and give up much of our spare time to this, you just have to be patient sometimes.
I am well aware of that fact so I am not complaining.
If the tone of my messages have gotten somewhat grimm the last weeks it is because I do have a general concern about the turmoil i see brewing and the rift starting to form between roboteers as well as the event organisers. And because of a report I made I now am somehow classed as anti Roaming Robots which is simply not true. I have always done my very best to be as objective as I can be on all issues involved.
It is sad to see how the present situation is turning out between some parties and I understand where you are coming from, I too have issues Im not happy with. Im the same as you, Ive no preferance to any event organiser our team simply chooses what event suit us and go to that one but there are people out there who try and make us seem to support one over the other which is simply not true as well. We do seem to have made this thread go off topic so here is a little back on topic.
Dave, Im sad you feel you need to resign from the FRA and would ask you to re-consider as I know you do a lot to support our community and with your help can change things for the better, at the very least I would like to see you at the next FRA commite meeting where you can rasie your conserns in person and if after the meeting you still feel the same then fair enough.
I hate arguing with people and do not want to be one of the people who instigates the downfall of the FRA so therefore I have e-mailed the FRA management committee and asked to withdraw my resignation from the reps position to show my support to the FRA.
Since you crossposted Ill do the same.
I am glad to hear you decided to stay on, if only to show support to the roboteers in your area and the FRA in general. I still feel it is the right choice to make, since it is better to help work on a (even) better FRA from inside the organisation itself then it would be from the sidelines.
Excellent- good for you Dave.
