[pp.int.general] PP IT and Its Non-Democratic Organization

[john dickinson]

Dear et al,

Sure, I will reply to this message. This domination of the email list with name calling and accusations does nothing to advance the cause of Pirates, unless the purpose of this list is to establish the reputation of Pirates as bickerers.
I am new to the party, but I have been a pirate since the '60's, an honest pirate in the true definition of the word.
I joined WAPP, and after two meets decided to form another party. Without saying anything disparaging except that I could not say the acronym out loud, I wanted to use my resources to get members to the causes that I thought were important and urgent. Following this list (I read everything) I feel that the important causes have been placed on a shelf to be replaced by bickering.
I formed the Seattle International Pirate Party, and I am embarking to encourage towns, communities and neighborhoods to form their own Parties. I fly the flag on a half mast, verses the flag flying at half mast, to indicate that the cause is above the mast of my thoughts and opinions. I don't want to move the flag down so that it flies at half mast and then move it out of my life because I might feel embarrassed by the petty/public attacks against others. I have a goal to gain 2o,ooo members in the next six months.

? Is there a way to keep the bickering out of the public view? probably not.
I guess I am just ranting, but perhaps everyone should read Getting To Yes before self destruction. 
 
I remain sincerely yours,

John Dickinson

The difference between you and us, is that you write, and write, and write... But none knows yogurt face. We share the international conference since 2009, and everyone knows our faces...

Nice try Carlito...
:)
