[p2p-research] Compromise? Submission to Process = Temporary Peace?

[Michel Bauwens]

I understand Alex,

to be clear: I support the process, but not with someone who explicitely
declares, and repeated today several times in a skype conversation, that his
priority is to expel me from the board.

In those circumstances, my support for the process is obsolete.

If you change your position, then mine will revert to my original support
for James mediation proposal.

However, I will now strongly insist to a moratorium on code in the editorial
pages. I do not want to be involved in constant fights like the one we have
over the transparency page. Code that has cascading efforts over many pages
should be provisionally removed.

Once I can see that you understand my problems, we can slowly re-introduce,
on an experiment and agreed base, new code introductions. For now, I need
restoration of easy editing as a priority.

My interpretation is: I want you to stop sabotaging the easy editorial
process, and I want you to focus your energies, if you insist on staying
here, in areas where they do not hinder my work and that of other people
similarly inclined.

I do not want to spend 2-3 hours a day in dogfights with you because you are
impervious to my needs and wishes

James:  you need to intervene one way or the other to stop this incessant
back and forth
