[P2P-F] P2P Foundation List Moderation Notice

[Gordon Cook]

And i am afraid that i am still resentful of Michels attitude about the core members who were being attacked and his decision to fall silent to the attackers to ensure that they would leave his "core' members alone.,  A situation made worse by his repost to a FALSE secrecy whereby the core members could not be identified absent a pledge not to reveal their identity.  When all the time for the true insiders who knew where to look, as Orsan pointed out the core members had their own entry in the wiki all along.  michel playing games with me simply neglected to point this out.  And trifled with me yet again.  The first trifling was not being honest with me when those in control in Ecuador DV BG et all were trashing my work behind my back while michel rather than informing of this encouraged me to finish and waste  yet more time which i did because ….. foolish me…. i still trusted Michel.

I was getting the p2p blog just fine until this blew open.  Kevin suggested feedly as an RSS mechanism and if i remember correctly feedly requires Facebook.  Sorry i despise Facebook and won't use it.  You are damn right folks there is a governance problem here.  And for me the key issue is that i find michel no longer trustworthy.  being told that the identity of core members is a secret when it in fact is NOT is not conducive to trust.  Being promise a full report on what happened in ecuador only to renig on that promise when BG goes wild is not conducive to trust.

I once had a great deal of hope for and respect of Michels work.  I have that no longer. why should i given his behavior this summer?

If this counts as an unacceptable attack on Michel, then you better remove me.  You people are moving out from the sidelines into the tough political arena where things are gong to get nastier and from you what we have then here is a display worthy of school kids.

You are going to play with CIC in Spain like you played in ecuador.  But the playing field is occupied by individuals that appear to hate each other.  How is THAT going to work to build trust?  And you see that absent Michels carrying out his solemn promise on which he has reneged there is no way for a sympathetic outsider to make a judgement.
