[Imc-finance] fireman (not on strike like those in the UK)

[boud]

dear petros, vally,
   i have known petros for something like 12 months, and vally since
the initial Ambazonia request a month or so ago.

i respect both of you and am convinced that your intentions for
indymedia and general political outlook are extremely positive
and completely compatible.

Could i suggest that you accept that the imc-finance flame war
was largely based on misunderstandings and maybe just the ordinary
human weakness of sometimes forgetting to be sensitive?

There *are* substantive issues to be dealt with, and i know you're
both capable of dealing with these constructively. It *does* require
some work to separate substantive issues from trivial ones, and to
comment on them without making unintended, accusatory side remarks.

If it requires saving a draft email on a sensitive topic in a file,
storing it for 24 hours, and then reading it again with a fresh
point of view, so be it.

The IMC idea is gradually extending beyond its initial core of
N/S America + Australia + Western Europe - and you're both part of
this. 

Please take the time to understand each other.

boud
