quilp Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 What about the bin collections which didn't happen today? Is there a plan for collection tomorrow? Are we to wait another week? No press release from DBC that I can find...🙄🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I get it, because I’m a councillor I have to be miserable, tolerate everything, can’t have a life outside of town hall, and cant have any fun or call out people when they post BS under the guise of satire. Is that about right? No wonder I’m depressed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are (not) tolerating is no worse than anything you have allowed to be said about any other politician or Councillor on this forum in the last 10 years and more. In fact it’s based on fact and opinion and a lot less than the streams of abuse you seem to have allowed on this site over the years as it’s moderator in relation to anyone else in public life. The Rob Callister thread is testament to this alone. How long would it have lasted if it was about you? Never had any push back on anything published on the election or anything else. Until the satire is pointed at a few tin pots who can’t even seem to manage emptying people bins. Typical IOM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste services, because of the weather, playing catch-up and bins to be put out as normal, which we did last night, but now, myself and my neighbours are wondering whether we should leave ours out. Harcroft. They attempted to drive up the close this morning but it was too icy. So what do we do Frank..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you see Rob engaging as if it were a journalistic site. I know Germans aren’t endowed with a sense of humour, but really! it’s the same with you promoting your Roundel YouTube videos on here. A massive own goal whilst the bin saga rumbles on. It’s tone deaf. And the journalistic standards are non existent. So Should Amadeus not do something he enjoys doing because a few folk are upset their bins aren't collected weekly? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that about right? No wonder I’m depressed. No the point is, you have chosen several roles that may come into conflict with eachother - Councillor Your role in e-gaming Weird photographer of car crashes and you-tuber Part of the management team here The first two roles mean that your independence is going to questioned in the second two. You can act with the best will in the world but people are going to perceive a conflict of interest. I've long worried that you would use your role here as a platform for your causes and to advance your political ambitions. Years ago I was asked to return as a moderator and turned it down because the role involves being collectively responsible for other mods' decisions and I didn't trust you to put self-interest aside in your decision making. However, you've proven me wrong and I can't think of any times you've let a conflict of interest impact on moderating decisions. Now, though, your political role is putting extra pressure where the roles intersect. Add in the controversy over the bins (and the reactions of some of the frankly irrational people involved in the opposition to the change) this is going to create additional stress, not just on your ability to be independent but more so on you being seen to be independent. And that's a risk to the forum. John's right to highlight the you-tubing discussion thing and linking to it on here as an unneccssary extra diminsion at the moment. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or an alternative view might be that your role in public life generally limits any ability you have to be perceived as impartial. For a moment imagine that you knew that an anonymous politics forum was run by Alf Cannan. Then imagine if that forum allowed all sorts of politicians to be slagged off and criticized all the time, but that any criticism or abuse about Alf Cannan always just disappeared or was subject to constant adverse comment by the ‘moderator’? Is it really that different here? There seem to be two fairly deplorable threads here about Rob Callister and Juan Watterson in particular. It looks like none of the moderating team took any attempt to moderate them despite some incredibly offensive remarks appearing. But a significant effort appears to be taken over any mention of criticism of DBC when it’s known that one of the moderators is on DBC. The optic really does not look good when it comes to maintaining the perception of impartiality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It falls far short of any journalistic standards that you should strive to adhere to if you care about your credibility. Having seen how you work I’m unwilling to interact with you in any meaningful way even if I like the concept of what you do. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don’t promote them on here when the actions of the political body you sit on are under criticism and in the public spotlight and it brings your moderating further into question.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
