Correct.
Correct.
Lee and stu i posted this in the correct place for the comment but it was removed by the FRA.
i re posted it in this section and it was removed By the FRA. So i looked about for some other section to post important information on and selected the areas you have looked at. My apologies for the multiy posts but it appears that FRA cant let my post of my resignation and the reasons for them be.

John:
Just posted a John why leave multiple messages? post on some other thread where you had posted it.
But just came across this and can see you and Sam, (understandably) are really upset.
So I can see John why you feel so strong.
I can only say (and I THINK I am speaking for MOST bog standard roboteers and forum users) that I really dont know who is right and who is wrong!
I have met you and Sam and you are both great guys who do loads loads for the roboteering community.
Also I suppose I have met most of the Guys on the FRA who have done just as much (although when reading the posts it is impossible to know (unless you are in the know) who is making which post.
The name FRA Committee or The FRA make me wonder which actual person is making the post!
It would be nice if an actual name of a human being could be used ....I know I will now get responses like Due to legal reasons and Elected Body etc but I would love it if people could actually put their real name to their posts!!... like Sam and John have ...but this is prob a grey area where I am out of my depth!
I REALLY hope all this trouble can get sorted ....this is the reason I have always refused to be on the commitee of any club I have been in (and have been asked loads of times)...model aircraft clubs etc...the wimp attitude ...and I apprecitate all those who do serve on commities and admire their guts!
Hope all can still remain some sort of friends at the end of this lot.

I take from that statement that its now FRA police not to disclose private internal E mails so why use them to expel FRA members If you dont want them used or is it only the select few you wish to use.It seams to be OK for the FRA to use Private Emails out of context why cant i?
Tom again i can only apologies for the multiy posts
John Heatlie
The problem is Tom we cant actually get our point of view across as the FRA is censoring any attempt at doing so.
Considering the fact that there are still damaging posts up about us [and by that I mean Andrew and myself] and our company, and that the FRA are claiming weve stopped them publishing emails in an attempt to stop them justifying their position [actually all weve done is stop them quoting out of context], you couldnt really blame us for being a little upset at the constant interference of the FRA in our attempts to defend ourselves and inform the community of what is going on.
Id suggest that anyone who wants the BTP slant on the past few months happenings, drop me or Andrew an email on info@blacktopproductions.com and well communicate with them directly, we intend to issue a statement explaining all of this in the very near future which will be made available on request.
Regards

I for one am very sorry to see John go as he is someone I like a lot. Thats as far as that line of statements go though as I know its a touchy subjcet at the mo.
There is a point that needs to be raised here. We now have no representative for Scotland. I would like to personally invite someone from Typhoon to apply for the job, as having the current champs on the commitee, and whats more having a pro active youth oriented organization involved can only be good for the sport.
I hope someone at Typhoon expresses an interest.
When is the FRA going to appoint a new area rep for Scotland as i have a number of complaints against the FRA that i wish to be delt with as it seems that roboteers cant have there say on this forum. Without a rep the Fra continue to ignore its members and sensor posts without any reason. The FRA is in continuing its quest to discredit certain event organisers when all that was written was positive for our sport.The fact that even there own event report was by all respects a glowing one i can only surmise that the FRA have no guts and cant admit there mistakes and continue to stick there heads in the sand.I wonder how long this post will last ie (admin Edit)
John Heatlie
John, appointing a new rep for the North and Scotland is on the agenda for the next FRA meeting.
In the meantime, there does not need to be a rep in place for you to contact the FRA directly via email - info@fightingrobots.co.uk
John - Its a bit like Mentorn, what they show to be on the tape is a true account honestly
funny i thought it was all true. (It will look good on TV ) wonder how many times we all heard that.
