For those who wanted an Irish Group...what happened?

[Longgrain]

Tweed, Kleeb what's the current statis...

I found the thread in ATA...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=120x27770

And saw briefly a second discussion thread but now Poof...

It looks like Skinner has all but approved the group. Or has everyone else forgotten...

In which case I'll bring it up again...

1. I think they went to the bar.

[Longgrain]

5. LOL

I probably missed the thread since I had to step out to the pub to grab me a Guinness...

2. I think a problem arose

over the politics of N Ireland. IRA vs Loyalists and all that.

Could get very nasty apparently.

[Longgrain]

3. But I thought Skinner said

we could have it if the mission statement included a disclaimer regarding such topics...

[lenidog]

4. I could see that happening

80 years after the deed being done its still a pretty divisive matter.

6. All right then, how about a Celtophile group? Let the Scots and the Welsh

in too. ;)

7. Or maybe a British Isles Group

It just seemed there was a lot of support for the Irish Group when it was first proposed...

8. Celtic culture and heritage group?

:shrug:

[Longgrain]

13. I'd be for that...

just so the Group is not too small and limited...

9. I'm all for, being a local and all, and I hear enough about the politics

as it is so I've got no problem excluding that element.

10. kick

still here and waiting for the official folder.

I promise not to talk about the protestants.
Won't go into their heresy. No way. <g>

[Longgrain]

11. Thanks for the kick

and giving me another chance to kick this again...

I'm still looking around for Kleeb, who started the original discution...and Tweed who brought the proposal before the Admins...

[Longgrain]

12. And another...

:kick:

14. I like the Celtic group idea--

I'm part English, part Irish, part Welch, and part French. Mostly Irish though. :toast: And I already live in a divided nation so I really don't feel like rehashing the politics of my ancesteral homeland.
