I wanted to stay out of this discussion completely. I am no longer a CS member, I no longer live in Scotland, and chess politics bores me these days. Yet, I still take a passing interest in what is happening. And, up until a few hours ago, that was the extent of it. However, I am also active on facebook, and as such I got a message on my newsfeed from someone who is very active in Junior Chess in Scotland and who has gone public to a far wider audience than the CS membership with his views on the new constitution as it pertains to Junior chess.
I would have no issue with this, if, the same views were expressed to the CS membership directly and so give a right of reply. I would ask that what was put on facebook today be published on this noticeboard as It does, after all, begin, " To all Chess Scotland Members" yet there will be many who are CS members who will not see this on facebook.
With regard to the proposed constitutional changes, that is for the CS membership to decide, not I, nor the world at large.
