Re: To the moderator (Apologies to Filia and the membership)

[Antonio Rossin <rossin(at)tin.it>]

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.
