Never wanna see anyone feel forced out of anything and if people are abusing him in public that's vile. I dont think I've ever spoken to Mark before, but I'm not shy about my views on MSF.
I dont think it's democratic, I feel its a box ticking excercise from the Club and I don't think it's managed to actually improve anything worthwhile.
If you want the group to work it needs to be more than a few groups involved and it needs to have much more openess to the wider fanbase. I know the reason why one group left, they felt it was a pointless excercise.
On a seperate note;
Borolad - we know eachother personally, I dont think the digs at RF are fair, as understandably you've heard a certain fmttm viewpoint of this, which from my understanding and the oneboro post is actually quite different, RF didn't agree to go with the MSF status. From my view of things people are seeing RF as having had more effect on this matter than the forum supposedly on all fans sides, people are free to view how they wish.
