Ok, as a member of Stroud Freegle (nee Freecycle), let me get one thing straight for the people who runs these groups...
- Punters like me, don't give a flying ferret about these silly little 'town council' style political tiffs with Freecycle
- Punters like me care about only 4 things:
- A 'community recycling' list with good participation
- A 'community recycling' list platform which is easy to use and has good user preferences
- A 'community recycling' list which has the things you need
- A 'community recycling' list which enables you to quickly offload the things you don't want
As a punter of Stroud Freegle I am personally sick to death of this 'he said', 'she said' bickering and the erroneous assumption from the people running groups on both sides of the divide that most of their members actually give a flying crap. As someone who runs online communities for her living, I can say for a fact that this is exactly what happens when you get moderators with far too much time on their hands!
