Obviously there may well be/have been folks that were complaining on the PFA BB but ISTR that most people on there were posting under their real name rather than an alias.
It is clear that a lot of people are a more thoughtful and careful when they are posting under their real name.
You can take the view that the PFA does not have to provide a BB but that would be pretty shortsighted. There can be no doubt that the internet and BB have their limitations and can be misused by people to whip up negative sentiments.
It can however also be a very efficient thermometer to gauge what is happening out there and be a fond of knowledge for its membership.
How you view these benefits/risks may well depend on how you stand in life as an individual/organisation.
As you so eloquently state you can live by slogans. On the whole more the domain of despots.
Nowt wrong with some constructive debate and positive criticism. Or do the people you work and live with get treated to a healthy dose of rhetoric when they raise an issue?
