>Dear Seattle Indymedia Collective, and Radio X folk:
>
>Things are, as you unfrotunately know, not in the best of circumstances. 
>A huge financial hardship presently exists for IndyMedia, as well as
>misfeasance that may be criminally prosecutable.  Times are tuff @ the
>IMC.
>
>Allthough relations between Radio X and Seattle IndyMedia have not always
>been strong, the reality is that each organisation has benifited hugely
>from the other org, even though that has not allway been clear to all
>involved at every step of the way.
>
>In hard times like these, tempers flair, and infighting is an easy outlet
>for frustrations that stem from the dire circumstances that are presently
>being faced.  Becuase of the stress, somtimes simple mistakes with large
>consequence are easily made.  This must be strongly resisted.
>
>The bigger picture that faces us all, and the reason why many of us got
>involved in these endeavors in the first place, is the need at the local
>and grassroots level for fledgling media organisations to find new and
>posative ways to work together, and grow as a result.
>
>If this highly damaging blow to any working relations between Radio X and
>Seattle Indymedia is to be repaired:
>
>PLEASE CONSIDER THIS A FORMAL REQUEST FOR:
>
>1)  Censure of Mr. Harrison by the Seattle Indymedia Collective for his
>harsh words and actions in respect to Radio X in very clear terms.
>
>2)  Please remove Mr. Harrison from any responsibilty of conveying Seattle
>Indymedia positions to Radio X.
>
>3)  Make it clear to Radio X, that Mr. Harrisons personal position in no
>way reflects the broader feelings of the Seattle Indymedia Collective.
>
>4)  Additionally, Radio X deserves an appolgy either from Mr.Harrison, or
>on his behalf by the Seattle IndyMedia Collective.
>
>
>Our infighting will not help bring down the Rupurt Murdochs of this world.
>These 4 requests are made such that Radio X and the Seattle Indymedia
>group can pull togther rather than pull apart.
>
>
>
>
>Additionally, I strongly sugggest that for Mr. Harrison to become able to
>contribute to the success of the Seattle chapter of IndyMedia, that he be
>barred from having any responsibilities that relate to interacting with
>outside orginsations in the future.  His gruff manner and cuastic,
>anti-social modes of communication are frequently more damaging than
>helpful.
>
>Months ago, Radio X stated clearly to the IMC that Mr. Rick Harrison was a
>clear obstacle to the good relations between X/IMC that Radio X was
>seeking. At that time Radio X demanded that another individual be the IMC
>contact for Radio X.  Unfortunately, Mr. Harrison has a consistant record
>of plowing forward in utter disregard to easily predictable consecuences. 
>Sadly, once again, this has been no exception.  To put it mildly, Rick
>Harrison is extraordinarily non-diplomatic.  His damaging involvement at a
>Radio X meeting has perhaps effectively terminated Radio X and Seattle
>IndyMedia relations.
>
>If this is any example of the fruit Mr. Harrison's involvement with other
>orgs can bear, one should strongly consider a new gardenor.

>>>Today Big Loud Rick spent a good amount of time and energy ranting to
>>>Barry
>>>and me about how IMC money has supposedly been improperly spent on X
>>>equipment, he's got receipts, some process wasn't followed, what a bunch
>>>of
>>>losers we are, etc. etc.  It doesn't seem to matter how many meetings we
>>>have with this guy or how many times we answer his stupid questions.  If
>>>anybody at indymedia wants indymedia to continue some kind of connection
>>>with Radio X, this is not how to go about it.
