: : -Mike Anderson : : Ex-TFN Executive Director : I nearly fell off of my chair when : I read who wrote this otherwise quite : reasonable statment. Mr fucking. Anderson! : Who worked full time as an alleged : Executive Director for TFN on a full : time basis. Mr. Anderson: where are : the tens of thousands of dollars of : donations a Freenet needs to survive? : And why didn't Mr. righteous Anderson : go out there and strangle it out of : the ISP/Computer commercial interests! : Why didn't Mr. Anderson lay down the : law about the total, insane chaos that : reigned supreme during the last Board's : reign ?? While TFN burnt Anderson and : company fiddled with my reputation : and played the Spanish freaking : inquisition while blundering away : the total good will and support of : the so-called "Internet Community"! Gee, Bob Why wasn't I able to get money out of the members or corporations? Maybe because the previous board managed to concentrate *all* power unto themselves, and refusing to delegate any to the paid staff. Perhaps because Mr. Gosschalk was running a full frontal assault on me, and actively hampering any efforts I made to fundraise. As for the "Spanish inquisition," you may well ask Colin McGregor, who spearheaded the action against you, contacted our lawyer and personally phoned me to make sure that your account was blocked. As I recall, Colin was quite put out that it took more than 24 hours from him mentioning it to myself and the TFN president -- he suggested that action the same day would have been appropriate. As for me, I realy didn't care what you posted, but the board made its decision, sent its orders and I followed 'em. "Incompetent, conniving, fractious and dunder-headed" are pretty good descriptions of a number of the previous TFN board. There were some good people who were unfairly smeared, however...people who did try to keep the TFN going despite the insanity. : Anderson's words are a farce! What : a message of hypocrisy and hollow : bullshit! The people who were directly : responsible for this mess should hang : their heads in shame and *never* shopw : their miserable faces in this forum : again unless it is in humility and : apology! Last comment indeed! Wish Mr. : Anderson and his insane collegues from : the last TFN hierarchy would have chimed : out of the discussion years ago! : Incompetant, coniving, fractious and : dunder headed. I throw my full and : clear support behind the new board : without hesitation. And the TFN DOOMSDAY : clock has just been turned back for : those of you who care. If only because : damn fools like Anderson think it's all : over. I always believe the opposite of : what they say... so the future of TFN : looks brighter today than yesterday. : Support TFN... for the Community. : Bob Allisat : PO Box 191 Station E Toronto Canada M6H 4E2 (416) 588-0670 : -- -- Wineva Oak Communications -- Surf the Beaches! at http://www.wineva-oak.com 167 Wineva Ave., Toronto, Ontario M4E 2T5 Tel.
