Dear Montello Resources Members.
Thank you for your participation within the AGORACOM Community.
We understand that some here simply cannot see eye to eye amongst themselves. Nothing new or unnatural here, however you must understand, this "he said, she said" childs play must stop.
However, we cannot continue to ignore growing complaints about the behavior of a small number of members. While it is not our goal to become involved in the “nitty gritty” of Shareholder Communities; after all nobody knows the story of MEO more than yourselves; being so, we wouldn’t be providing the community a great service if we didn’t take a moment and speak to you and the other parties about your recent posting activities.
As you may understand, both sides of the argument have been coming to us with mounting complaints about an alleged AGORACOM bias towards the adverse party. Let it be known that this is not the case; rather in an attempt to direct the forums attention back to matters of a material nature, we've deleted all topics and posts of a personal affair. A reminder of our six rules of use also adds to the mix.
It's obvious that one side cannot convince the other of their opinions, nor can we possibly mediate each personal conflict to determine who is right and wrong. What is clear, however, is that no matter what side of the equation you are on, all personal conflicts inevitably lead the forum into to an accelerating stream of emotional posts, instead of informative insights on the company's activities.
While you may think otherwise, the vast majority of this Community has become tired and discontent with this constant childish behaviour. It serves you no good to reduce yourselves to spending your time, trying to "beat eachother" into submission. It hasn't happened before nor do we or your peer's believe it will happen at some point in time in the future.
We agree with what storm5151 has said in this post - it's time to stop behaving like children or constantly squabbling amongst yourselves.
Bickering, Profanity, Name Calling, Accusations, Repetition, Posting any statements or issues that cannot be substantiated in any factual or tangible means and Off Topic personal messages on the Main Discussion board.
Our assumption is that you get overwhelmed with things because you take them on with such passion. That is a great trait to have - until it starts hurting you.
Nonetheless, we hope you can at least try to co-operate with your peers and our admin’s. If you feel there is just too much of a gap between you and them, then try to discuss it privately as by kicking up dust on the forum serves nobody.
Just keep breathing a fresh air into the community, and ignore the flotsam and jetsam when you can.
Thanks again for your participation and contributions within the AGORACOM Community.
Regards,
AGORACOM
