If someone wants to bring up a sensitive or polarizing topic with the linkshell leaders at the meetings, I think they should be able to do so without fear of possible retaliation from those who might take their words the wrong way.
The reason we have a forum mod host it is to make sure that there's no backbiting or gossiping or general toxicity that could sow discord not just among the linkshell leaders but among everyone. If the concern is that they're using that privacy to hide insults from those they are insulting, then rest assured that such a thing is not tolerated at these meetings.
Thank you Ellie I appreciate your response.
It's not like we are talking about abortion here. LS Leaders are the same as the rest of us, we are all accountable for what we say. The same thing goes for this linkshell meeting. If its that polarizing then take it to a private meeting. The LS Leader Meeting is touted for being a public thing, but in my opinion it's just being hidden away.

That comment was actually edited by the person who said it minutes after the fact, so it wasn't really a redaction since the edit was in the copy/pasted chat. Though, assuming this is what you're referring to, I'm a bit concerned that something like that reached people outside the meeting so quickly and makes me wonder how much gossip is going on while the meeting is ongoing...And that's quite disheartening.
If this is the "redaction" you're talking about, I have to say I'm a little puzzled why you want it public so badly. It kind of comes across like you're trying to take a personal vendetta into the public in order to give a lashing to said person who said the comment. And that's just not cool :/
This is kind of off topic from the original post quite a bit though.
I'm sorry Kylin, but I've seen the actual meeting notes because again, this is NOT a private meeting, and thus not considered gossip. I want transparency for others, not just for the last meeting but all the meetings. I have no interest in making anything a public vendetta I'm simply the first one who stood up against it.
I have not named names nor stated any topics in particular that were redacted that I was upset about. I think I'm being very broad, plain and clear so please don't make assumptions.
