Right, lets use appropriate tone here, offensive language. but, implicating
conspiracy theories, doing research on people and making nonsense
assumptions is something far beyond offense Bernhard. Isn't this the main
reason that triggered offensive language? I speak for myself of course.
Think well before you rely to this pls.

I see contradiction here. I am afraid several times I called you to not
speak on behalf of others, especially on behalf of Matthias Kirchner but
you were persistent there and you still indicate otherwise in this email?

And btw, still no single words from your man Matthias K. If the call we
made was direct to Donal Trump he'd have given his feedback while ago I
bet. What is wrong with this organization and the people who represents it?

I persistently ask myself why think the exact opposite of this statement of
yours.....referring to last couple of years of course and not 17yrs....

Then maybe it is time for you to step aside if I may?

Yes and here I am to ask for change starting from the structure of FSFE.
Change of total or partial of the current staff that are incompatible with
the status quo of FSFE and enroll mixed staff (not only people from Germany
or Berliners). Change of approach in relation to those who supports FSFE
and are not active within the internal structure of the organization.  If
FSFE loose the support of the community (the supporters) it will loose
itself. The power of organizations like FSFE comes from the community and
therefore the same power has to be given back to the same if you know what
I mean.

Everyone can speak up for themselves and no one should speak on behalf of
others where they specifically called into discussion/action.

As I mentioned in other circumstances, I have no political ambitions here
and just acting as supervising entity to make sure the theory matches the
practical side.

I am happy to sit and discuss whatever you people like but pls be
consistent with your position.

Many thanks

Stefan
