<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Gregory Engels has to thick a skin for this kind of shit, but who knows, there may be someone with brains left in the ruins of his PiratenPartei.<br><br>+1<br><br><div>> Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2014 04:37:44 +0100<br>> From: patrick.godschalk@piratenpartij.nl<br>> To: board@pp-international.net<br>> CC: algemeen@lists.piratenpartij.nl; ledenraad@piratenpartij.nl; pp.international.general@lists.pirateweb.net; internationaal@piratenpartij.nl; bestuur@piratenpartij.nl<br>> Subject: [pp.int.general] Board candidature<br>> <br>> Since the wiki is broken I am unable to add this there. Board,<br>> please do this for me as you are required to as per the<br>> information currently on the wiki. For transparancy sake, I am<br>> including a copy to the general mailing list, and my own party's<br>> board, member council , international coordination and general<br>> mailing list.<br>> <br>> This candidature is valid for any and all board positions:<br>> co-chairperson, board member and alternate board member.<br>> <br>> -------<br>> <br>> *Name and nicks*:<br>> Patrick "Argure" Godschalk<br>> <br>> *Sponsor*:<br>> I'll let you know, I'm sure there are plenty of PP's that want to<br>> support this. You know, the ones that are actually still *Pirate*<br>> Parties.<br>> <br>> *Member of Pirate Party*:<br>> Piratenpartij (The Netherlands)<br>> <br>> *Qualifications*:<br>> - I'm very good at telling when someone is actively bullshitting<br>> this organisation.<br>> - I'm also very good at getting those people to stop doing that.<br>> - I'm Dutch, which means I'm always either drunk or high - and<br>> therefore good fun! This is obviously a lie.<br>> - I realise that I can just write whatever the bloody hell I want<br>> in here since most people won't even check these.<br>> - On that note, I have a PhD in creativology.<br>> - I'm not at all narcissistic or cynical. I do not know the<br>> meaning of sarcasm.<br>> - I will love you long time. ( ⊙‿⊙)<br>> <br>> *Languages*:<br>> C, Perl, zsh. I also do Python when I'm feeling masochistic. Oh,<br>> and I can say ARRRR really loud!<br>> <br>> *Motivation and political background*:<br>> See, this is where it gets interesting. I actually have a serious<br>> motivation for doing this, despite the cynical and somewhat<br>> humourous first paragraphs here. And that motivation is simple.<br>> It's an important one so let me place it on it's own line just so<br>> people read it better:<br>> <br>> You do NOT. Fucking. "Announce". A GA *TWO WEEKS* before it<br>> actually starts.<br>> <br>> I mean come on, this is some A+++ stand-up bullshit going on here<br>> that I expect from 'liberals', but not from a Pirate Party. Or at<br>> least, I don't want to expect this. So, my motivation for my<br>> candidature is simple.<br>> <br>> 1. I refuse to acknowledge the validity of this GA in the<br>> interest of the member parties that are not the in-crowd of<br>> Gregory Engels.<br>> 2. If this GA still happens, elect me to the board in whatever<br>> position and I will immediately move to declare this GA null and<br>> void.<br>> 3. After which, I will immediately step down as board member<br>> because I have no actual interest in being one.<br>> <br>> If I am unable to declare the GA null and void, I will simply not<br>> do anything as a board member other than righteously 'abuse' this<br>> position to actually fucking *inform* the member parties of shit<br>> like this. And any other board member who in that case would have<br>> a problem with this can cordially go fuck themselves.<br>> <br>> And yes, in case it needs explaining, despite writing this on a<br>> cynical and highly frustrated note, - I am *dead serious* about<br>> this candidature with this specific motivation.<br>> <br>> *Contact info*:<br>> Argure on IRC. If you're wondering which network, I'm on pretty<br>> much most of them, just pick one at random. You can also mail me<br>> at patrick.godschalk@piratenpartij.nl but honestly, I read my<br>> mail maybe once a week at most.<br>> <br>> Oh, by the way, I will not be in Paris (ironically, due to not<br>> being able to afford tickets on such short notice).<br>> <br>> My seal of authenticity: ( ≖‿≖)<br>> -- <br>> Patrick Godschalk<br>> patrick.godschalk@piratenpartij.nl<br>> OpenPGP: <https://argure.nl/identity/ecc14594.asc><br>> This e-mail, CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication<br>> ____________________________________________________<br>> Pirate Parties International - General Talk<br>> pp.international.general@lists.pirateweb.net<br>> http://lists.pirateweb.net/mailman/listinfo/pp.international.general<br></div> </div></body>
