Honestly DK. I can only bite my tongue for so long.
Back to the council, we bock at the forum because we think it is safe and we are always thinking of safety and are aware of people around us. If we were to bock around the market, or anywhere down that road it would be irresponsible and dangerous.
You've put a lot of thought into it.
Yeah, I have, It took me well over an hour to collate and make sense of all of the info I have been given over the last few days.
But I'd word the a bit differently has is sound like.
If we can't do it there, we'll do it here !
Well DK, thats kinda the point. One of the key points in the argument. If we can't bock at the forum where we feel is safe then the options are that a new location is found or we bock somewhere less safe. The point is, the EAs are here to stay and it needs to be dealt with.
Don't point out the negatives say somthing more like
"We are reponsible people and believe the Fourm offers us a nice setting where both we and the public can be aware of one another. We walk around the crouded market and near by streets without any problems. "
Now here is where I say are you out of your mind! We are responsible, mostly. It's a good place. But to say we even walk through the market is insane. Why does that need to be said. It is a hugely busy area, we pass through on the way to the forum to grab lunch. You make it sounds like we are a risk to people when you say that and honestly! Its nuts!
"We walk around the crouded market and near by streets without any problems."
Stupid! We might walk around the market yes, but if I received that I would be thinking "s**t! we need to ban these people from the market before they hurt somebody" not "oh, they don't hurt anybody when they are at the market I am sure they will be fine" NUTS! At the end of the day, you never know when an accident might happen. So however much you try to stop it walking through busy areas is more of a risk than in empty spaces (more people to hit) so come on! Use your noggin!
It sould have said ABOUT the .... ?
The piont I was making is play down the negatives, it a bit silly stomping your hoof.
Much better playing the mind games and maybe they'll forget them !?
ABOUT the what?
and play down the negatives? the negatives of us not being able to bock in many places now. Pfft. What is the point in writing if you are just going to say how wonderful we are and not talking about issues we have.
I know, lets play mind games. That will really p**s them off.
"We walk around the crouded market and near by streets without any problems."
I wouldnt say that.
There's a time and place for games but I think this isn't one of them, I think the councils are pretty wise to these sort of things... You need to choose your words wisely or it could ruin it for everyone.
