How to avoid being BULLIED by unfriendly participants?

I have organised 66 events and met many people. When you do that you are bound to meet a few 'unfriendly' ones. In my case is even worse. I have been bullied.  


I have apologized many times for not having perfectly organized the event so that it suited the needs and personality of all attendants (which I believe is impossible anyway). I have apologized many times for not being able to pick people up from the train station as I volunteered and offered a refund for the train tickets to anyone interested.


But as they’ve very clearly stated, people complaining here do not want a refund. They do not really want apologies. They want humiliation. They want to bully me...


.....and they have succeeded in convincing people who I have never met critisize me personally.


I do not think is fair this bullying against someone who tries best, volunteering to get activity going in Glocals.


Stop bullying in glocals. Stop witch-hunters. 


Thank you for your support.


Yours,


Alvaro (Ocio Sano)

Deniz - This is in reference to another post:


http://www.glocals.com/#/forums/general/How-to-avoid-being-SCAMMED-on-Glocals--185051.htm%23msg_185368


Read and feel sorry about the state of the community that we are now living in, i.e. a "victim/blame" community vs a "I'm responsible for my own choices" community....

Same with me - Alvaro organized a few nice hikes and climbs and I enjoyed them a lot. I can not understand why some people can not deal with problems / issues personally - this is just a platform. Not a personal playground for insecurities, emotions and problems.
