You were removed as an administrator in the summer as you weren't filtering
the e-mails and hence not doing the job of administrator. It took you till
JANUARY to realise that you've been removed. Need I say anymore? Flaco
complained about this as well b4 he left town - which is why i was asked to
help out (along with Joey).
No Passwords have been changed - if you want to go back on as an
Administrator then i'll happily go along with the consensus decision
regarding this. But frankly if you're not gonna do the job then what's
the point? I have no real want for doing this tedious role (filtering
20-30 daily spams by hand is such a laugh) but somebody has to do it...A
huge back log quickly bulids up if it doesn't get done and important
message can easily get buried amongst the multiple requests to Invest
$20,000,000 for a deposed Lagos President or advertisements for penis
enlarging kits.
You also agreed that you were gonna put up one middle column feature a week
to help take the load of me. Again you haven't done any since around
October. Again I've been doing the middle column all by myself. Which is
a situation that I raised back in the summer...Now I don't have a problem
with that - you have your reasons for not doing this. Heck i've lunched
out enough recently as you all well know...so who am I to talk about
commitment? After all this is a voluntary run thang. I can't force you to
take a more proactive role Tony. The way I see it is you either do it or ya
don't. Pure and simple.
>Neither why you removed my centre page article on the evening of the first
>Fairford demo.
I condensed two Fairford pieces (1 old + 1 current ) into one middle column
feature as you fully know. Nothing of yours has ever been removed from the
news wire to my knowledge. Did we not talk about this adequately b4
christmas at the cube? I thought we had... You still seem aggrieved But
your aggressive accusations of censorship (which you flagged up into the
middle column ) were slightly misplaced and a little OTT i thought
considering that you've removed out of date features from the middle
column as well ( a practice I think that should be avoided (in hindsight)
because of archiving etc) Misunderstandings such as this can easily be
solved by a little dialogue don't you think?
It seems that we need to have a session about middle column
protocol/etiquette in order to avoid any further problems...
Originally important decisions were made about the middle column protocol
when the site was set up back in Nov2001. These decisions were made by
consensus. If I remember correctly you weren't involved in BIMC at that
time. Now I've tried to stick by this as best as I can - in fact there
hasn't been any complaints about the middle column content to my knowledge
(apart from your Fairford censorship allegations) . I've said it b4 and
i'll say it again, If these middle column editorial decisions need altering
( as often things do from time to time, new people coming on board etc)
then lets discuss them at a meeting and vote on it. That's the way all
decisions have been made so far.
>You are not replying to my questions by telephone or email - hence this
>post to the list.
I've been ill since just after christmas Tony. I thought you knew this.
mibbee not. But i haven't had any phone calls from you ...although I have
left messages for you! sigh
I'm not gonna get into a flame session Tony which is what I think your
trying to provoke. They generally serve no purpose. If you want to speak
further about this and other stuff then lets get together over a nice cup
of tea and do so.
By the way is anybody planning on going to Lancaster next weekend for the
indymedia moot? do you wanna run a car up Tony? I'm up for it...can we take
petrol money out of the kitty for this?
cheerz
