End of subject....
At the risk of getting 150 demerit points, banned from the board for a week or two or some other sinister reprimand, let me say that I doubt this will be the "end of subject..... "!!
1. Original thread by Rosemary requesting donation system be set up ....... CLOSED
2. Reply by Chris to "closed" thread allowed & then ....... CLOSED.
3. Request to Fabio Guzman in LEGAL forum ................DELETED or REMOVED (before Fabio Guzman could see or reply)
4. This post where it is stated because there has been a post in to 1. above, the need for legal clarification is superfluous therefore "End of Subject" implying (but not saying) thread closed.
1. I am a BIG boy these days & can make my own decisions as to whether I want to contribute to a charity of one form or another so I would have been more than happy to see the original post continue for donations to be made. Heck, we have had The DREAM Project & Fundacion Patria posts asking for charities going for MONTHS now & they get 'Bumped' on a regular basis. We don't complain at those even after 250 posts or more!!
I accept the "story" outweighed the request to set up the donation, but I would have liked the opportunity to comment re donations - not have that decision made for me! I have now MADE my donation, but via a differing route.
2. I do not know the facts of this case, who is right & who is wrong, but in that both sides seem to have an opinion, perhaps others might have liked to ask some pertinent questions. Certainly the legal implications for employers would have given great insight & beneficial information for would be employers on their need to get the correct type of liability insurances in place.
3. I do not understand the reason for 'removing' or 'deleting' a thread in the Legal forum without the legal expert being allowed to comment, at all. I am sure there IS a good reason, it is just that I can not see it! It gives the impression that there is something sinister going on here & some form of "We'll keep this from you because it is not in your interest to know about it" operation. Again, I'm sure there isn't this intention, but it sure as heck looks like it from the actions taken.
So, for the clean minded that likes to give a FAIR hearing to all sides, please let there be open communication on this proposed thread (within pre established boundaries if you feel the need to set those) & then the thoughts of "Favouritism", "Cover-Up", "Big Brother" & the oft hated "Over Censorship" can be laid to rest. ~ Grahame.
