I never intended to act as though I am from BE, others on here who are not BE officials have BE in their username. Perhaps confusing, but given my passion is with BE it seemed a natural choice given i couldn't think of anything else.
So all others who are un-informed to the facts can make wild comments without any thought that are often sarcastic and b*tchy can they? It does make you wonder why you volunteer!
I am only echoing a confusion that others have also felt. Yes, there are other members with BE in their usernames, but they are not on this thread, posting in an official tone as a new member with an officially styled username.
As for your second sentence....I am again a little confused. I made no comment on other posters, I also made no comment saying I didn't agree with what you said....I actually liked your sarcastic comments, I agree with them all, BUT...I think it is extremely foolish of someone who is closely associated with BE to use that tone in a post that appears to others to be official.
I would not imagine you deliberately set out to give the impression you were posting officially, but that is how it came across and when the time has elapsed in which you can edit your posts, it is here on these pages forever and could potentially cause embarrassment to BE. So, if you can't change the post, maybe best to change the username to remove any and all doubt?
I speak as someone who has volunteered for years at numerous events, been officially involved with BD and BS and even at those times that I could have commented officially, I wouldn't have. It is for the management of the organisation to do that, not anyone else.
Again, not saying you were doing that intentionally, but it is how it came across on here. You can leave it like that if you wish, your choice. I however would do what I could to distance my personal views from the organisation I was trying to support as those personal views should not be confused with any official stance.
