The message from Sacha contains these

Unhappily, recent developments in this group mean that two
people are not
included in this open invitation and I feel quite sure they
who they
are, so am going into that no further. It's something I regret
*very* much
having to say.


Given this caveat, you cannot actually call it a 'meet' Sacha, since
NO-ONE can ever be excluded from a true meet. Better call it 'a soiree'
or some other such pretentious nonsense!


Contact Puce for bookings for the urg summer holiday in Aran in the
Big Red Bus.


I see our resident troll is back - for goodness sake what started out
as an invitation to a meet has turned into one or two people grinding
their own particular axes, we are all bored to death with it - give it
a rest.


Not necessarily, Judith. Two people were specifically excluded from the
invitation. If you want to make someone feel uncomfortable, that is the
way to do it. She could just as well have invited people by email and
left it out of urg altogether. That way, those who were excluded didn't
have to know about it and those she wanted to attend would. Instead of
that, she broadcast it for all to see. Would you like it if it were you
who were excluded?

June Hughes- Hide quoted text -


What do you mean by 'hide quoted text'? I had no quoted text.
Why on earth should she invite by email, it is an urg meet and if
certain people have offended her, then it is her right not to invite
them.

It is a meet of selected urg people, and therefore private. As already
said, this is Usenet.
I will be having an urg meet and again, there is a person that I
would not like to see in my home. I have been to meets where an
individual would not be welcome, this is life, we invite into our
sitting rooms members of a group and if one or two are excluded, then
too bad.

If I had insulted anyone the way Sacha has been insulted, then I would
be very surprised indeed if I were invited. This is my last word on
the subject as all genuine urglers are sick to the teeth of this.

Yes, I expect they are. I can't understand why you insist on carrying
it on.
