    Has anyone seen the ill-informed and ignorant rantings on the facebook page of "save waterford" re taxi drivers?? This really has the potential to damage what can be a very effective and worthwhile campaign!!!

    And right in the comments section from Andrea herself:
    Could the racist remarks please stop. IF you want to be racist go be racist somewhere else please. This is not the platform for you to give out about issues you may have.

    comments should be removed, along with the idiots who posted them...the admin of the page should ensure this happens...

    If you have an issue with the actions of a moderator on this forum - PM me or Mr Magnolia. If your comments relate to actions on Facebook - comment on that site - otherwise I will consider it a personal attack on a boards.ie poster & take necessary action.

    Sad to see the immaturity that the facebook page attracts is making its way onto Boards anyway.

    For Christ sake man we're better than this kind of nonsense, if you have a problem with someone be I would hope any of us can act adult enough to deal with it without resulting to snide bitching like that. I'm not even saying this as a MOD, I would like to think the posters here (even though we might not all get on) would have enough of a sense of community for want of a better word to not lower the tone so much...

    I find it incredible that this post is still on the page and liked by the 2 organisers..:

    whats going on now,if i catch a hold of these anonymous assholes,i wont be held accountable for my actions,horrible rotten excuses for people,safe behind their computers,its worrying to think that there are people like this who will get to use the hospital that we stood up for,if i had my way they would be using it sooner then they think


    hypocrisy at its finest.

    There are a number of posts on the page that should have been removed that are let stand. It has the potential to end badly.

    and Sully, the posts that they mostly do remove are from people who dare to question them or make suggestions they dont agree with

    Kate Brennan is a pseudo account set up by one of the organisers. You have to question some one's mentality that would create a facebook account to agree with themselves! This is why one of the organisers was considered divisive by another campaign she was involved in.

    How do you know one of the organisers has another account under a different name? I assume you mean the one that was involved in spark campaign?
