Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

ITG - I always found it good to have a trusted & knowledgeable facilitator who could manage the chat & Q&A and leave the chair & speakers free to speak. I was often in that role when my mgr, or one of my team was speaking.

The systems we used would have allowed the poster to be ejected - and stopped from rejoining, as well as being named and shamed - and/or a follow up to them and their organisation.

But having said that the worst we had was 'tiresome repetitive questioning' or sometimes emotional outbursts about downsizing/job moves, nothing of that abusive nature.

Surprised and disappointed that it still goes on.

Absolutely deplorable, but as Dipps says, depressingly not surprising.

Which is in no way saying it's something we should tolerate of course.

ITG
The organiser of the whole event was online and dealing with the tech as well as he could but he was as shocked and unprepared as I was. He couldn't delete the chat but threw out the person concerned but he hadn't noticed the abuse was also in the Q&A. I was trying to keep a straight face and manage the panel (praying that whoever was talking would just keep talking while I tried to sort it out) and I asked the moderator to move the "questions" to the "declined" box so they would not be visible.

I wrote to all the panelists thanking them and apologising for the abuse, adding that if they hadn't seen it, it was better that way, but I didn't indicate it was addressed at anyone in particular so if she missed it, she will never know.

ITG that's awful - well done for handling it though.
I am glad it's the weekend, I can ignore work emails and my lap top for 48 hours...

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
