[CIMC-work] don't trash IMCs on the newswires, please.

[Garth Liebhaber]

Garth Liebhaber from Chicago IMC here. 

we got a nasty post by a phillip titled, "ml and gehrig must 
be removed as the self appointed dictators of http://
www.ucimc.org"            

Full article is here:

not sure if this is an S.F. thing, or a troll, but there was 
little physical difference.  I have hid this article for obvious 
reasons.  I am voicing concerns on some of the things 
coming out of S.F. I find it distasteful and non-
constructive to trash other imcs via the global network of 
newswires.

a while back portland sent out a call via the newswires for 
all imcs to ban one of the S.F. sites (forget which).  this is 
crap.  we need to participate with eachother in our 
process and not resort to public trashings.

the issue is not about transparency, either.  the issue is 
about constructive process and maturity.  if you have a 
concern, talk to people and make a proposal.  no more  
calls for midnight coups, please.

i also support Faith and Sascha's response to nessie's 
banning of Gehrig.  Faith said she  read through the 
archives and found nil on process.  so i echo her- what's 
the process? who else is making decisions, what was the 
consensus on that?  was there a heads up?  do you think 
there is a troll using gehrig's name.  Big Number One: did 
someone talk to Gehrig about it???

basta,
