Luckily we already have a good voting system in place.
It is easy to go to the website and show our collective will again.
I must ask you to consider ostracising two people who have invaded our list
and who are trying to play a well-tried routine at the expense of our unity.
These people are known through their thousands of postings over the years
of the DN wars. For some, they *are* the DN wars.
Their postings are often disingenuous. They are often impolite and in
breach of good form.
Take for example the way Mr Crispin barged in, demanding to know where the
archives were.
Or Mr Crocker, the list-guest who "does not necessarily agree" with us,
demanding that the listowner ceases a thread on peacemaking with ISOC,
"immediately".
At this stage we are still extremely vulnerable. We are still less than a
hundred people who still have to come to a division of tasks to channel our
energies to further the best interests of all Individual DN owners.
We cannot afford to have paid people in our midst who have only one goal
and that is to thwart us in organizing a credible constituency.
And credible we will have to be. You heard that from Mr Crocker, and in
that, I'm afraid, he is right.
He said other things that are right too, and that makes what he is doing
so insidious.
Since he himself professed that we are better off without these DNS wars on
our list, he makes it easier for us to ask him to do the honourable thing
and leave us in peace, doing what he tells us is good for us.
I would like to ask Mr Crispin, who reposts private messages and insults
listmembers, to do the same thing.
I ask both of you to leave. Please unsubscribe from idno.
I am not silencing the discussion with you. All our members are free to go
to the unmoderated ifwp list to continue the argument with you. Just not
on our construction-list.
To back up my request I am asking for a second for this motion and then ask
the idno members of this list to vote on the issue. I hope you still
remember login and password. Otherwise, ask me privately.
Please read again the article in computerwire. It is in this context that
I'm asking you to exercise your rights in our agora and to drop your
ostrakon in the ballot box.
