Dear Frnwid1,

(As a general point to all, nothing personal)

If the company announces that a TRAB is set up with certain members for a specific purpose, why should we ever doubt that? The current acknowledgement that the TRAB exists should not be a surprise, but a reminder to us all that we should believe what is officially announced.

That said there is a distinction to be drawn between the considered official statement, signed off by directors and then formally released, and the incidental conversations of a executives being enthusiastic about their hopes and intentions, which are often quoted here as promises or in some versions as lies.

What I cannot understand is the rational of some posters who take delight in the blame game and abusing the integrity of our executives. In such cases one always has to question the personal motives of such abusers as such behaviour could be to deliberately discredit and affect attitudes towards our executive for personal manipulative gain.

This weekend FJ was yet again attacked for bans that he may or may not have imposed. Yet without his and other hub leaders consideration of what consititutes a breach of Agoracom rules, we all well know the capaicity of this board to lurch toward a grim decent into a form of anarchy that makes it intolerable. FJ is outstanding in facing up to the would be trolls and the inevitable criticism his action attracts, making his participation here invaluable.
