Hi, the facebook group has been deleted (by facebook) and I take your criticisms on board. I have also deleted all comments referring to said group on facebook. I was going to change the name, but anyway if it pissed people off that much then maybe it's for the better. Perhaps I needed a bit of sense knocked into me, and I thank you all for doing that. Can you please remove my name from the internet though?
Obviously, my behaviour was extremely uncivil and I understand the reasons behind your revulsion. I have a bit of a temper sometimes and do stupid things. The group was created as a space for people to organize similar events. I was thinking of maybe even contacting the organizers to see if we could raise money to give for their pool to the official event. This all happened as I cooled off and started to feel a bit stupid. Of course now I sound like I'm trying to portray myself as a saint, which, given the irritation I have caused, is hardly accurate!
The new facebook groups don't allow people to join without an invite/requesting an invite. They're mad, mad mad! But yeah, it doesn't exist anymore so I suppose it's all by the by.
Again, may I ask that my name be removed from the posts on these forums? In the name of genteel civility? And again, I'm sorry to have made people so upset.
