Can't answer for that type of omission. It would not please me either.
To answer questions ask by members. There is always alot that goes on behind the scenes for everything. He should be willing to answer the questions that members have ask him when he is the one asking for help.For what purpose?
Setup and coordination is generally done by someone local - one of us. There is often a lot of behind the scenes conversation that is not really necessary to the thread.
I'm reasonably sure too that his primary job is not gun related, but rather reporting on events as his employer directs/approves.
He never responded to me, either. While not really a forgivable thing, I somewhat understand, given the gravity of other events.
Hopefully, he'll use the additional time to respond to those who have e-mailed/called directly.

Why has he not returned to the site?
Just seems like bad PR to me. Was not trying to call you or anyone else out.Still not sure what the problem/question is. Frederik/TV ZDF asked for an opportunity to meet and interview - we appreciated the chance to get our message out. It fell through for reasons based on an international crisis and a choice as to where to expend their resources.
As to why he/they haven't responded to each contact individually - I don't have more than a clue. Maybe because those of us local said we'd handle the arrangements, get some people together, and they didn't see the need to follow through at that level. Maybe because he is very busy and/or short on support staff - TV ZDF is like our public service TV.
I apologize if anyone here feels that they been slighted. I sincerely doubt that it was intentional - speaking for myself, it was not.
It looks bad on him in my eyes.When the interviews with the French media was set up, there was no direct interaction with those planing to attend by Sabrina.
When NightLine was making plans to attend the VCDL picnic, there was no exchange of correspondence individually with those planning to attend.
When the media flooded O'Charley's in Richmond where we were celebrating the newly won right to CC in restaurants, there were no phone calls to individuals.
In each of those cases, a limited number of "point persons" handled the arrangements. It is simply more efficient that way.
It is unfortunate that anyone feels offended or unsatisfied. The desired goal was exposure of OC and our RKBA, not somebody's 15 minutes of fame. The methodology was to use a central point of contact in this instance also.
From another activist come these words (slightly redacted): "Let him know we would be glad to help him if he's able to do the interview in the future.
It's too bad [the cancellation] because I would love for other women (and men) in other countries to understand why we so strongly believe in our right to defend ourselves and the right to keep and bear arms. I think it's important to get our message out there.
That is a position I embrace.
