You have to wonder why BRISA have so far failed to engage with normal fans though Dins. (by normal I mean no politicized fans). Or am I wrong?
Is it the lack of a charasmatic leader like Jon or Mark? I have no idea who leads BRISA and nor do you! Hardly inspiring.
Is it that they need to fight negative perceptions about who is behind it or why they are doing it?
Is it because they have not done anything to raise their profile much further than the IF?
Is it because people simply don't agree with them? Or just don't know what they are about?
Is it because we are all lazy and apathetic?
Dins seems to be the only positive voice for BRISA here, and I'm not sure why. Groups, forums or action groups should not belong to either tinters or negs. Again, I may be wrong but I am not seeing many tinters buy into BRISA with some saying its just not right for them.
Personally I feel its up to BRISA and its leaders to bridge that gap and actively canvas that positive support or it too will die on its ass.
Setting up a website with some aims isn't engaging me I'm afraid.
