I reckon they have cut their losses on this thread, don't want to answer the questions so will just ignore it and hope it goes away!!!
Funnily enough that was one of the two ways of dealing with my posts that I was going to recommend to User had he not been sent to WBC's equivalent of the Lubyanka. The other way I thought they should respond would have been better, but either approach improved on what he actually did.
Everyone seems to think that this job is something new. It's not - WBC have employed people to act as party administrators for years, I know the chap who had the job with the Tories when they were in opposition.
That chap would be me! I'm not generally called a chap so must be Steve who took over from me...
Richard Garvie would not want this job paid or unpaid as it's 'politically restricted'.
Following that he seems to have spent a proportion of Friday night talking to himself on the Internet...
Eh? Oh I see. No, I just type a lot faster than you do: didn't take long. And this thread has had 1500 views. Nothing like the over 20,000 (!) for the skateboard park thread but it's more than just you, Richard and me.
Look, User, I know you mean well but when you attack a person rather than the point they're making people tend to assume that you're not very confident about the strength of your arguments.
My original point was that, in these straightened times, this post would be ideally suited to one or more volunteers and that, given our local politicians will be expecting front line staff to take a hit in the name of reducing the deficit, they should have used unpaid staff for this post.
You're welcome to disagree but so far that's all you have done. You haven't advanced any arguments. Suggesting that I 'bluster' and am a 'wind up merchant' isnt' the same as advancing a coherent argument. Do you see?
Now, I think it's probably the case that you're getting grumpy about this because you don't have any arguments. That's fair enough, but don't shoot yourself in the foot by using ad hominem attacks.
Seems to be" Laughing out Loud". And being an old grump would never dream of doing so. Don't quote me, have yet to use smilies... I guess somethings help when you are not exactly agreeing or disagreeing. Just being a pain.http://www.newbury.net/blahdocs/Smilies/cool.png
