Re: To the moderator (Apologies to Filia and the membership) |
Filia, and WDDM membership,
Have my apologies, for I remarked I've been a WDDM founding
member. My reason was, I posted it only to remark that I
have
witnessed "live" the original WDDM registration, at
Athens 2000 --
in reply to what Bruce posted inappropriately (and amended
later).
Regards,
antonio
PS.
Filia, I appreciate your advice to avoid any (hierarchic)
manipulation
among WDDM members. Yet I also read and appreciated as well
what you posted to Ted:
"(things went wrong in the past because
we had to
grow psychologically into mature DD
activists)".
To this regard, my humble opinion is, one of this "mature
growth"
main steps is the acknowledgment that "manipulations"
can happen
only if, and when, the "manipulated" person accepts to
be such.
It's up to the latter, the personal & civil responsibility
for accepting
to be such or not. This simplest acknowledgment sounds a
matter
of psychological growth: what else?
This is why I insist that "things went wrong in the past"
-- and still
go wrong in our current political arrangements -- because We
the
People have to grow psychologically into mature DD citizens
still.
BTW this goal, starting from citizens' earliest growing up in
their
infancy, is what my "Dial Ed" communication model
addresses to.

Dear moderator
(Mirek),
I point out that it is the task of the moderator to correct or at
least comment inappropriate behavior by members. This is related
to the example of the member who behaved as if he were the moderator
and who welcomed a new member even before any decision was taken.
(NB Should I mention names or is this person going to apologize for
his action? In my view an apology is a signal that the point made
is acknowledged and that we can continue form thereon and respect each
other as mature members.)
This also applies to members of this new WDDM and who manipulate their
position by stating that they were a founding member of the old WDDM.
(Apology issue also applies here.)
Now I know that your Mirek focus so far has been on other
things, things which I think you handle well. Nevertheless, it is
important for a good functioning WDDM to also take this “strict”
role on your shoulders.
My question to you: do you think you can take this role on your
shoulders too, or would you like the other members to be
“self-regulating” and assist you in this ????
Kind regards,
Filia
PS And what is your position / proposal related to the WDDM
registration issue. Also here quarrels can be reduced to a minimum
if you (or we) interfere in time and come with proposals which point
towards win-win situations.
