Theos-World Re: Reply to Keith Fisher about putting people on the block

I don't agree with Anton's statement regarding "victim club" etc. It is not the question of formation of "victim club". 
We should simply be truthful in what we speak here. If wrong is done we say it wrong was done, If good was done, we say good was done. So if Anton is thinking that those who complain about wrong practices are forming a "victim club", it is not correct.

So thank you, Mrs Burnier; Thank you Pedro Oliveira; Thank you everyone. A journey begun 16 years ago is coming to an end. I have a lot of weeds to remove, i am sure and lessons to carry on into my new life.

To be exact I said that I wouldn't advice people to join the ES as there is, in my opinion, great danger that this can have negative effect on their moral character and psychological health. This opinion is partly based on my own experience but prevalently on the study on available documents.

I am studying past and current situation in the TS while Preethi's is now providing interesting personal view and some data which still have to be compared and checked to form reliable information.

Whereas, reputation is important for Mrs. Burnier because she has to work with people and officers. And perhaps she is hoping to run for the President's office next time also.

Common sense tells that putting head of members on the block means expelling them from TS or ES.

That means it will be very difficult for Preethi to forget how Mrs. Radha treated her. It is very likely that she will tell her sorrows in this group and in many other online groups. The effect of it is Mrs. Radha is losing her credibility very fast.

You might think that Mrs. Radha has many followers and they will defend Radha online. This is wrong idea. Practically, if any follower of Mrs. Radha wants to defend her, he will send one or two messages in her support and then stop. On the contrary Preethi, or any person who is hurt, will always remember the loss of dignity and will express it everywhere.

After elections were over, somebody circulated a wrong message that I supported Mr. John Algeo. And soon ES officers under Mrs. Radha started troubling me. This thing has made me think about character of these people. How can Mrs. Radha expect support when officers under her act unjustly?
