I think you should talk in private with the other candidates and decide. So we all know where things stand.
Indeed,these are internal affairs and should be kept in private 8-)

No, Matthias, it is not.
I have given my word to Clare in a difficult situation, and I support her.
I had to explain my effort to make a team, and members will make their choice.

I like all four candidates. But as Dr. D says, some of these are internal affairs and should be kept private. This way we don't defeat ourselves. But regardless of the outcome, if Harvey Williamson is part of the next Mod team. I want my all my comments and account removed.

:D Dr Deeb,

No need for secrecy. I want the membership to know what I want for CCC.

My stand is crystal clear

:arrow: Freedom of Expression/Speech.

:arrow: No Censorship

if Slobo agrees with above, then, I welcome him.

but I will not welcome those who favor CENSORSHIP :!:

I must correct myself.
I have not read Clare's nominee declaration before posting my previous post. I found there:


04. I feel in step with Graham & Chris.

That made me change my mind and broke my word.

Sorry for the confusion, but no one is perfect.
It was my mistake.

Our team is:

Mathias,
Jeremy and
Swami.

Hi Slobo,

What I meant was that Bob Hyatt had a better chance of getting elected and that it's hard to team up with those on the other side (censorship group side) if only few people who hold neutral views were nominated, If I get elected I'd be forced to go by the majority vote and that there would be nothing left to do about it. I wouldn't worry if that were the case.

Sorry if I did not inform you yesterday:
Bob told me he won't accept the nomination this time.

And sorry for my precipitation: I did read your nomination statement before posting that thing about "keeping my word".

Of course, keeping our word is very importante, but our principals should be above our word. So, when some new informations come, we should compare them with both, with our word and with our principals, and give preference to the latter.

It was exactly what happened with me this afternoon.

Well I cannot vote, but I hope we get a great group to become moderators. People who are open minded and reasonable.
