As a member, I am very unhappy with these public attacks on one another. If there are concerns that need to be finalized, Facebook is not the place for it. If there are legalities to be clarified, Facebook is not the place for it.
These public attacks from either side of the executive should know better. They are essentially making a mockery of an organization that was, from my belief and understanding, created in good faith for the benefit of likeminded individuals.
With all due respect, not knowing any of the legal details involved, from all these public bash sessions being posted, I’d say none are worthy of holding a position whereas the best interests of the organization should be put at the forefront.
Not saying nobody should have speech restricted. But rather there is a time and a place for it, and this forum is not either.

Very disappointed to see that this is what the APP has decided to spend its effort, energy, and attention on.
A nothingburger, that will not grow any support at all, and can only possibly be divisive.
Mitch. You gotta have a better vision than this. This nonsense cost us big time in the referendum. Jeff is taking the fall for it, because he deserves it more than anyone, but he wasn't the only one.
If your only approach ever is to try and divide people and drive support away, rather than inspire people to the movement and strive to work in unity with those who aren't on board yet, then we will never ever grow, we will never ever accomplish anything, and things will only possibly get worse for everyone because of what we do.
It has to stop.
Listen to the people who were working overtime to salvage the wreckage left by this poor tactic during the referendum campaign. They are right about this. This divisiveness, this constantly picking dumb fights with the Conservatives, with Smith: it HAS to stop, or Independence will continue to never get anywhere.
