Criticism was offered about various aspects of Sidmouth Festival.

The Programmer and Marketing Director came on and answered those criticisms. She tried to clear up misunderstandings.

The critics changed tack. The P and MD suggested the same people had multiple identities and refused to answer questions on here but offered to do so via another well-established route.

Turns out she was right and the critic was hiding behind multiple identities. The other route is still open.

I think she is being very patient and tolerant. Those who do have legitimate criticisms and queries have suffered because she has stopped entering into dialogue.

Which is a shame - but who can blame her?

I agree with Steve that it is a small ripple in the large pond of things - but some of this is clearly personal cloaked under a guise of multiple identities. Which is not legitimate at all.
