Indeed, it's a very sorry state of affairs indeed, and I have to say that I'm quite disappointed that Tom D., who I had hoped would be able to turn the organisation around from the bickering, disorganised, disrespectful mess it *appeared* (key word) to me before. Alas he seems to be continuing in the vein of old.
Sometimes you have to deal with people on their own terms. I hope I haven't been disrespectful to anyone that's actually making a constructive contribution (which is the vast majority) and if I have, I apologise. Sometimes it is difficult to switch back and forth between dealing with people that only respond to being yelled at and dealing with everyone else - I do try, but I think I may fail at times, and I'm sorry about that.
Unless things change quickly with the way this organisation is publicly managed, I don't think it can nor should claim to represent the interests of UK Wikimedians. Indeed, it's losing credibility as a serious org. very quickly, in my eyes at the very least.
It's not really managed at all at this point, everything is being done by consensus. Everyone that wants to be involved will be able to vote for the board who will start actually managing things. If you don't think I'm up to the job, there are plenty of other candidates - I won't hold it against you if you don't vote for me. I'll help where I can in whatever capacity I'm wanted.
