After receiving some feedback and reflecting on it
I cannot help but wonder:
Is HRV trying to silence people?
People (and Forum moderators on their behalf) have to be careful of what they write and say
but if they exercise care and show common sense, discussion amongst the faithful has to be healthy and something Administrators should be taking note of
Warnings like this recent one - due to the timing, can easily be interpreted as Administrators wanting to hush things up.
Of course organizations like HRV cannot themselves be voicing opinions on matters before the court and on matters under investigation
but they have to be careful not to look like they are wanting to dampen sensible discussion in the hope that 'it will all go away"
Football clubs like Hawthorn have been revered in the past for keeping their problems 'in house'
BUT of late our industry is talking about matters that affect more than just direct participants and can hardly be kept 'in house' when they are the subject of court reports or stewards reports
HRV may see it as nothing more than a timely reminder and that may have been their sole intention but I can assure them that this has not been the perception of some and maybe they might consider doing things differently next time
