dear Quiliro,
let me repeat that Willi is entirely welcome to bring those views to our community , and at the same time refrain from slanderous and defamatory statements,
of course, Willi has valuable points of view, like every other human being, but he also has duties to the communities he wants to participate in, and one of those is basic respect for the intregrity of his comrades,
it's totally okay to critique someone, and to point to facts of corruption and power abuse,
what is not okay is to attack david bollier for being in the activist for personal gain, without bringing any reasoned argument or fact to the table, to say the Allianza Solidaria is corrupt without backup, or to say that I'm an austrian economist, CIA agent or now killing fascist, without any proof.
I have no personal animosity against Willi, I am divided between sympathy, as he does this again and again in nearly all the forums he participates in, and the feeling that this is exactly what it is looking for. How else to interpret the statement against Bollier, it was crafted in my opinion to precisely ellicit this reaction. So there is an engineering of victimhood in this case which is quite systematic and therefore must be an important subjective and pleasing function.
The P2P Foundation, and the commons / p2p movement generally needs to move from open access platforms where anything goes, and which self-destruct precisely because they accept those that want to destroy them in their midst, as happened with Indymedia and many other great platforms, who listened to the kind of absolute arguments you bring forward, or the managed commons that build community through integrity.
It's also a question of scale and time, our time is not infinite, and people who live from negative attention take a lot of valuable time from communities; in a real f2f community of course you need to deal with this differently, but online, you have to give the people the freedom to do their thing elsewhere, and bid them goodbye, respectfully,
remember the only thing necessary is to apologize for insults and slander, and indicate that you will change your behaviour, it is not complicated to be or stay in this forum; opinions are not at state;
nothing forbids you to learn from willi in private conversations, as does anyone in this community, that is the right place to put time in the complicated communication strategy, and if you privately accept slander and defamation, again, that is your good right; so I wish you the best of luck with it,
I have now to stop this dialogue, we both said our piece,
Michel
