"Barry are disliked and hounded off internet forums is because of their behaviour and the contempt they are held in by the pagan community."
If we are hounded it is yet more proof of the vilification and oestracism tactics of the PA. We are people, particularly Barry, who have been into paganism for decades now and never been oestracised etc.
In any of the other circles of paganism in Brum that are not in the PA- I know of at least 6 groups in Birmingham and the Midlands too, from which it is Rhiannon and Martin who are ostracised, not welcome at events or moots etc. And that is only those I know of.
i'm a welcome member and friend of many other pagan / new age groups who know about what went on at that camp.
But I am not going to let this thread seem like a 'grudge match.' Perhaps the PA could answer some of the other points raised by the several other contributors to this thread, many who have -several- different facets of the organisation with which they are unhappy, rather than seeking to make it seem like Barry and myself alone.
I am not going to recount my experiences further. Suffice it to say it is my strong feeling and profound surety within myself that I was raped, or at least taken advantage of. And to me, only I am qualified to judge that.
But I am not going to hash and rehash my experience.
Perhaps the PA could answer the -several- different concerns of other contributors in this thread.
I am going to leave this thread for others to recount their experiences and I will now only comment on the negative experiences that others have had at the hands of the PA, which I will allow them to come forward.
There is no doubt that they will, as -several- have in this thread, but rather than address the many different, not just sexual, concerns in this thread the PA have sought to 'target' individuals here as they do in real life.
They could answer the -several- contributors with their several different points. And I look forward to the -many- with negative experiences of the PA who will find this thread independently and feel they finally have somewhere they can express their concerns and voice their experiences.
Love
