TURMEL: Premier currency engineering IJCCR group shutting down!   Message List

Re: Reply to Pablo: Re: [ijccr] Re: TURMEL: Premier currency engineering IJCCR group shutting down!

"But this exchange between us already highlights the
stupidity of the decision to switch this list off.
Talk about foot shooting. All the energy is being
dispersed and focus lost. It's like the classic
gatekeeping exercise. Get passionate people together,
coral them into some sort of compromised
organisational structure then, at some moment or on a
whim, whip the rug out from under their feet."

That is exactly what is happening here. It's a
power-play by some particularly stupid people. For
whatever reason, who knows? But I am confident the
reason they gave is a lie. The reason Colin Williams
gave us is the best he could come up with, and it's
nonsense.

Nobody decided to "end free discussion." The owners of this list extended the opportunity for people to set up their own mailing lists and announce them...
