This is pretty amazing stuff. On the one hand, there's an insistence that I was not expelled, and would I please return to IDNO. Then, in a good dose of reality, it's said that immediate action was needed to counteract treason. This is enough to make me think I need a dose of Haldol. I'm reminded of a song: Come back, come back, back to Jamaica Don't you know, we made a big mistake-a We'd be so sad if you told us goodbye And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky! The invitation to re-join IDNO is one I'd have to be stupid to entertain. I do not take it seriously; it's simply an attempt at damage control. And, hey, we still can't see the results of the votebot on squelching Dave and Kent. I wonder why that is so? KJC (Yes, I've been a closet parrothead for years) >>> "John B.

One can not build a democratic organization by defining dissent as "treason" and arguing that its suppression is justified on that basis. -- This message was sent via the idno mailing list.
