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! Was that really necessary, why on earth did you make that nasty comment for - I am gobsmacked!!! Judith, I have never, ever, in all my years on Usenet, seen anyone arranging a meet, and then saying that certain people aren't welcome! A meet is open to all, and if it _isn't_ then it's not a meet!! But does it matter Anne? there are some people who are deliberately baiting Sacha, it's not fair and it's unkind and I don't mean you, I have always found you to be generous in your comments to all. After all a meet is not official or otherwise, it is a collection of people of like minds, who have an interest in gardening and there are no rules about invitations etc. Lets just leave Sacha to enjoy people coming to her home who are happy to see her and I will be one of those. No-one is baiting Sacha. If anything, she is baiting them by announcing that they are not invited. What's wrong with that? When you have a party, don't you choose who to invite and who not to invite? As I see it the only alternative would be to invite all comers, with the risk that certain troublemakers might turn up to carry on their argument in person. As to identifying the people by name, that seems unnecessary and would only cause more argument. If anyone has reason to think it might apply to them, they will presumably choose to stay away. I have never met Sacha, but in her place I would do just the same. |
