IMPORTANT MESSAGE RE: THE MN CHRISTMAS APPEAL

74 replies

SaintGeorge · 01/10/2008 23:44

This morning I officially launched the MN Christmas Appeal 2008.

In view of recent events, I am now officially putting it on hold.

I have some concerns which I want to think through and possibly discuss with a few people. Those discussions will happen off the board.

And before anyone thinks to shouts 'clique' I am going to keep those discussions off the board because of things like tact and diplomacy, not because I am getting together with a bunch of my mates or trying to keep secrets.

I am sure most people can appreciate that there is a certain level of responsibility involved in running the appeal and right now I want to make sure I am truly happy to carry on, before it is too late.

TIA for your patience and understanding [hopeful emoticon]

agree with the others.

Only option you have really atm.

If you do decided to continue send me a message on FB as I don't have the stickies (chose not to have them as they confuse me ) and I'd like to try and donate this year (said that the last 3yrs and never did )

Yes, I agree. But what a shame

Thank you for taking the time to do this. The christmas appeal is one of the lovely things about MN.

I thought I might get a slating for pulling the plug so soon.

Thank you all for understanding.

I am not wimping out (yet).

I just need to consider a few options.

Not going to slate you, sensible decision under the circs, StG

Agree LL. StG, I think you are absolutely justified to be rethinking the project after the deletefest here tonight.
I hope it can still go ahead.

I think this is the best and most sensible thing you can do under these circumstances, StG. Have been following tonight vacillating between bemused and aghast.

Some significant trolling trouble Buda. All deleted now.

Sensible precaution StG.

StG take a while to think, I'm sure nobody would expcet you to carry on with the added security issues etc, honestly, I'd find that really daunting as well.

I'm sure someone else would be happy to take it on if you felt you couldn't.

What time did that all get bazookered last night then? I switched off around 10.
