Re: [atlarge-discuss] Provisional Membership Committee

[Sotiris Sotiropoulos <sotiris@hermesnetwork.com>]

Thank you Micheal for stating the obvious.  I don't know what Ron's 
problem is exactly, though I would welcome his constructive input and 
ideas, but I will no longer respond to his inflammatory and antagonistic 
posts.  If he's serious about verification of the Panel members, he 
ought to be providing some ideas on how to go about doing so, instead of 
simply spewing baseless vitriol.

Now, I am NOT talking about the private information that could be used for draining a personal bank account.  But, Joey did publish a rather large amount of personal information to this site earlier.

"The science of jurisprudence regards the state and power as the
ancients regarded fire- namely, as something existing absolutely.
But for history, the state and power are merely phenomena, just as for
modern physics fire is not an element but a phenomenon.

> From this fundamental difference between the view held by history
and that held by jurisprudence, it follows that jurisprudence can tell
minutely how in its opinion power should be constituted and what
power- existing immutably outside time- is, but to history's questions
about the meaning of the mutations of power in time it can answer
nothing."
				     --Leo Tolstoy, "War and Peace"
