I thought it was quite objective! There's nothing I could see that was confrontational - except your tone! Is that the intention?
The tone of The Journal seemed quite upbeat to me!

Perhaps confrontational was the wrong word - apologies, put that down to the vino - it's very one-sided then, thats ok it's your bat and ball. But perhaps more progress would be made if everyone worked together?

You say: 'Some of the things you write have another side to them, some of the things you write are not completely true and some of the things you write are out of date.'
Everything can be seen from many different ways. The Avebury Journal is - clearly - HA's view. Most of it is pretty 'vanilla' and not confrontational. It aims to make observations and comments from an HA point-of-view. If you have another view you would like to put across, please email me and I'll ask the editorial team to look at it.
I would be curious to know what items you consider to have 'another side'. I would be very curious to know what items 'are not completely true' but I'm not interested in the 'out-of-date' items. The Avebury Journal is a 'blog' and news items go out of date. Just like my wardrobe. I've learned to accept it.
If any of the organisations that care for the monuments would like to make comments on any of content in TAJ, then they should email [email protected]

As far as I'm concerned, apology accepted... ;o)
However, I'm not so sure it IS one-sided. It just seems to me to be reporting facts as they are. And I believe the items come from more than one source (anyone can send news to HA, I suppose!)
Maybe I'm getting it all wrong. I didn't think it was having a go at anyone in particular, but just reporting things that may be of interest. It may be boring to report things like "lots of people visited Avebury today. Nothing happened!"
I find it interesting, anyway! And I'll be keeping up to date with the goings on there...

I assumed from what was written in TAJ blogs that you'd contacted "official organisations" concerned for their views on certain of the "problems" you highlight?? There might be another side to your stories?
As for out-of-date items, perhaps an update could be posted later to keep people informed and to show that some solutions are found?
My original post resulted from reading the Blogs and was not meant as confrontational (its timing was wrong by me!). I realise TAJ is from a HA viewpoint, but you're not the only ones who care about the monuments, but thats how it comes across.

>>> 'I assumed from what was written in TAJ blogs that you'd contacted "official organisations" concerned for their views on certain of the "problems" you highlight??'
Nope. They are merely HA observations and don't pretend to be anything else.
>>> 'There might be another side to your stories?'
Almost certainly, I'd say. Those with an alternative viewpoint are free to contact HA by email or, of course, they could start a blog, too.
>>> 'As for out-of-date items, perhaps an update could be posted later to keep people informed and to show that some solutions are found?'
This will certainly happen when newsworthy things occur to follow up older items. But as TAJ was only launched yesterday its a bit early to post such items.
>>> 'My original post resulted from reading the Blogs and was not meant as confrontational (its timing was wrong by me!). I realise TAJ is from a HA viewpoint, but you're not the only ones who care about the monuments, but thats how it comes across.'
I think this says more about your perception of HA than is actually is stated in the blog. For HA to imply in any way that it is the only organisation who know how to care for monuments is ludicrous nonsense.

quote ".....another has been left open since September 2004 and we can't get any information on what's happening. " and "...Enquiries have been made and no-one seems to know who did it."
Doesn't this imply you've asked questions? I assumed you'd asked "official organisations", afterall they're the ones most likely to have answers?
>>>> 'There might be another side to your stories?'
>Almost certainly, I'd say. Those with an alternative viewpoint are free to contact HA by email or, of course, they could start a blog, too.
Of course they can, obviously I was again wrong to assume you were providing informed information.

As I said though, some of the things you stated have already changed.

Well thats my perception, ludicrous or not.

Blimey! You ARE after a row, aren't you? ;o)
Or maybe it's just your turn of phrase...
Sounds a bit aggressive to me - sorry if I'm wrong!
