Website notice on notice board
Twice in the last three weeks or so since this website was set up, someone has removed the small notice I have place on the notice board in the parkade vestibule by the elevator. Today there was a handwritten notice in its place which read as follows:
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NOTICE BOARD IS RESERVED FOR INFORMATION ON THE BUILDING REHABILITATION.
Notice board notice, 2011-10-23
I don’t know who placed this notice (and removed mine), but I believe this person is misinformed, and therefore ask him/her to stop removing notices that he/she has no authority to remove.
Frankly, I don’t know why someone would remove the notice unless he/she is opposed to the existence of this website, and I don’t know why someone would be opposed to this website because it exists as a service to the Trinity Place community. It’s supposed to bring us together, not have us waging petty battles over a sign on a notice board. If you’re opposed to the existence of this website, that’s just fine; you’re entitled to your opinion. However, that doesn’t give you the right to try to squelch the opinions and activities of others. You do, however, have the right to voice your opinion to the community, and you can do so right here, on this website. (Where else can you do that without waiting for an annual general meeting?) Please read the instructions, register, and then post your views here so that we can discuss them as civilised, educated human beings.
As it says on the latest replacement notice that I have posted on the notice board, the posting of the notice informing Owners and residents of the (ongoing) existence of this website was approved by Strataco Management Ltd. at the special general meeting on 29 September when this issue was raised under “other business”. (Unfortunately, minutes have still not been issued, so I can’t quote chapter and verse on that yet.) Unless or until I receive notice otherwise — and again, I have no reason to believe I will or should receive notice otherwise — the notice is entitled to be there. This notice board has existed since before the current rehabilitation project and was and is used for communicating information other than that related to this project. We have only one official venue for such notices — a point that was made at the 29 September SGM as I had originally posted notices in three locations — so removal of notices from that single location leaves no other place to post such notices.
Thank-you for respecting the rights and concerns of your neighbours.

Updated 2011-10-23: Add point that notice board has been there for some time, so was not put there for one purpose only.
