personally I do not think you did anyone...Richard,<br /><br />personally I do not think you did anyone a favour if you published this essentially private correspondance without the consent of the other party involved.<br /><br />From the relative distance I enjoy this all seems to be a clash of a few personalities without a clear cut line between the Good and the Bad. Isn't it about time that those involved sat together in a sensible manner, with some common sense and little formality to sort things out? Do those involved, including yourself, think that it is necessary to use disciplinary procedures, panels, Board meetings, blog entries and all that just to sort out how some people can work together? Isn't that a sad use of scarce ressources?<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />ChristophChristoph Heuernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23046907.post-48133909541971157702009-12-09T12:45:11.856+00:002009-12-09T12:45:11.856+00:00Sorry I mis-spelt your name Andrew.

The employees of Virgin Atlantic (see the article I quoted earlier) no doubt thought the same as you, but they were still sacked, as their actions "brought the company into disrepute." <br /><br />I would also question how aware you are of both sides of this story - Richard has published his side, but the Board have (quite rightly) kept their side confidential. I would therefore question how you are able to conclude that this is down to a "heavy handed mistreatment of volunteers", and not due to circumstances that you are not aware of. Unless you are in full possession of the facts, you are in no position to judge who is in the right - which is one of the reasons why it is completely inappropriate for Richard to be publishing all of this on his blog.<br /><br />I repeat what I said before - this is a publically accessible site, and therefore should not be playing host to confidential discussions, particularly not without MUTUAL agreement from BOTH parties.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Andrew Pendleton<br />(Driver and conductor at Crich)Andrew Pendletonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23046907.post-121659044423182112009-12-08T12:47:18.824+00:002009-12-08T12:47:18.824+00:00If Richard wishes to make his private corresponden...If Richard wishes to make his private correspondence readable that is his business. <br />The heavy handed mistreatment of volunteers was one of the reasons I stopped taking an active part in museum activities a number of years ago. Too many self important peaked caps and management school types strutting around.Freel07https://www.blogger.com/profile/14986680462942949286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23046907.post-20481094570885045242009-12-08T09:07:50.674+00:002009-12-08T09:07:50.674+00:00A very valid point Andrew.

You are hardly doing yourself any favour...Richard,<br /><br />You are hardly doing yourself any favours by playing out these matters on a public website. <br /><br />Regardless of what you believe to be the rights and wrongs of this case (and I suspect there is more to it than meets the eye - after all, there are two sides to any story), a publically accessible website is hardly a suitable platform to play host to emails sent between yourself and the Board.<br /><br />(And before people jump in and say that it is a personal blogsite, might I remind you of this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7703129.stm)<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Andrew Pendleton<br />(Driver and conductor at Crich)Andrew Pendletonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23046907.post-64369158158528192572009-12-06T20:06:32.563+00:002009-12-06T20:06:32.563+00:00I hope you get to hear whether 'Mr Wilton'...I hope you get to hear whether 'Mr Wilton' is asked to leave.
