[p2p-research] On Alex Rollin stated intentions to expel me from the P2P Foundation board

[Alex Rollin]

Perhaps folks would read my email before beleiving Michel at his  
interpretation.  It's a lot to ask, I know.

I think Michel does great work.  I work here to complement the work of  
all the users before me.  As a user I asked Michel to consider himself  
a user to experience that (my) perspective.

I don't think he writes good policy or that  he's skilled as a  
community mediator but the board is the only group with any power in  
these areas, therefore it doesn't seem to me he ought be on it.  This  
is a political opinion, and a considered on.

Perhaps when a user agreement is crafted the situation will be  
different and users will have a say in governance.  This would be a  
different situation entirely, no?  Perhaps users with political views  
on the foundation won't be discrimated against, as part of that  
agreement.

Alex
