Well Brian, that's a much more balanced posting.If you re-read the earlier post on the subject you'll find that I didn't have any issue with your concerns, and nor do the other respondants. The problem is the way that you expressed yourself.
Re-read your original posting. As a regular lecturer you will recognise why you managed to upset people.
1) You unnecesarilly personalised the direction of the complaint - you picked on someone.
2) You issued threats: "I originally gave permission for our functions to be published, but in light of this BS, I have to re-evaluate that"
That's not the way to get people on your side as I guess you've discovered.
You are absolutley right to voice your concerns. You just might want to apply the 10 minute rule for postings. I know I have the same problem with email - what I write at first can look imflammatory and offensive when I review it 10 minutes later before hitting the send button.
"-- we're all in this together -- same team -- get it?" Well, that's how it used to feel, I'm not so sure now
