It would seem that this post has been taken far too literally, and for that I apologise - I didn't set out to mislead anyone into thinking that I thought that there might be individuals with a less than entirely positive approach - I thought it was clear from the tone of this post that I was feigning naivety.
I would be upset if it was uncovered that any individuals had joined a school board with the intention of subverting its purpose to suit an agenda - in this case, the issue of PHS/St Johns and the park. (1)
I'd also be upset if it was uncovered that any individuals had joined the community council with the intention of subverting its purpose to suit an agenda too! (2)
I'm sure that Alison's dual roles as a member of St Johns board and also as a member of PPAG are handled properly. (3)
I'm also sure that nobody would join the community council just to try and push their side of one issue. (4)
I applaud all those who selflessly volounteer to serve our community. (5)

Footnotes
(1) Trying to make a parallel between the actions of a couple of our forum members, without explicitly saying "one or more of youse is bent!"
(2) Same approach as (1) but for the CC "zealots".
(3) Trying to highlight the blatant conflict between being a member of both groups.
(4) I give up over this. It's a complete ringer and I never thought it would need italics. But there you go. I meant it in the most leading and sarcastic manner I could muster and never gave a moment's thought somebody would think I actually thought like that.
(5) ... and certainly don't applaud those who join to suit one agenda. Next time, I'll use italics and explanatory footnotes at the time of publishing.
