lebooboo 1 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Verbal gymnastics? I think we can all see where they're coming from. All I've done is quoted my original post to prevent you from misrepresenting me...Ok, let's stick to the facts. You can call it what you like, MD owed nearly £3000 to the RST for nearly 2 years. This was hidden from the accounts and members. There is no verbal gymnastics there, I think that's about as transparent as it gets.Can we agree on that?You're one of those guys who just can't stick to being factual, aren't you? We can agree that he owed £2690....that's easier to type than "nearly £3000".As far as I understand it, the auditor has now made recommendations (I can't remember the correct technical phrase used) that this, and other practices with RST accounting, should not continue. Hopefully this will result in the transparency we all want, whover sits on the RST board in future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this will result in the transparency we all want, whover sits on the RST board in future.I quoted it earlier as £2670, so "nearly £3000" is more factual than what I thought it was. I guess that would mean I was sticking to being factual, assuming you can accept that £2690 is nearly £3000.Now you've given me the exact amount (not that it makes a blind bit of difference), do you fancy answering my question? Is it the case that MD owed nearly £3000 [£2690] to the RST for nearly 2 years [sorry, don't know the exact length of time either]? And that this was hidden from the accounts and members?

gunslinger 270 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I've not seen anyone request jail or suggest sabotaging book launches. That would be daft and petty.I have seen people attempt to build bridges and involve the Trust in community-wide initiatives and not even be given the courtesy of a reply. Not just last week or last month but over 18 months ago.Of course the RST isn't all to blame here but neither is it as committed to unity and/or inclusion as it suggests elsewhere. In fact I'd suggest the opposite is true for some board members. These people are holding the organisation back and that is the issue here; not petty personal grievances. I'm surprised at the amount of people who want to buy that crap excuse.the boss has suggested bouncing a cheque is a criminal offence and that david edgars book will be scaned and available to read on the internet with in days of launch. your very much correct about the rest of yur post of course.

laudrupforever 17 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I love the posters on here who have less than 100 posts over a couple of years, and have the temerity to act the big man whenever anything RST-related appears.Asking questions of people, yet rarely, if ever, giving a straight answer to the questions asked of them.We need a strong RST, not one that endeavours to disillusion its members and remain cliquey and under a self-imposed isolation from the rest of the fans and forums.

AMMS 27 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 For many people, it isn't this issue in it's isolation that explains the annoyance you mention.Your rather excellent post of 11.05 said quite a bit I felt. I feel you always come across well in these threads Frankie but this particular one does look a little like mountains out of molehills. But if it is a continuing theme then criticism should not only be forthcoming but indeed expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
