[IMC-bristol] A phone call from Ian Ferguson

Got to get this on the record,

Ian Ferguson phoned my mobile yesterday evening, Thursday, at around 4.45pm 
extremely irate that I had posted his correspondance with me (subject: 
bunker feature stuff drags on - under my apology) to the editorial list. He 
told me he had explained in a previous email that I should not make any of 
his comments to me public.

"I think you did this on purpose Gosling" he said getting more and more 
angry. He then threatened me saying "Next time I see you I'm going to punch 
you so fucking hard" and put the phone down.

I am certainly not about to be intimidated into keeping quiet about what I 
consider to be insulting, threatening and bullying behaviour by one of the 
collective in a responsible position who should know better.

And while I didn't originally do it on purpose - I now make no apology Ian 
for posting your attempts to insult and bully me into seeing things your 
way - For all to see how you try to operate out of view of the 
accountability of the collective and the public. I insist you apologise for 
last night's threats.

At the end of all this the    New computers for NATO bunker      feature's 
censorship issue still has not been resolved. Can someone please take the 
lead on this because Ian and I are clearly too involved to sort it out 
ourselves.
