rachyl,<br>while i admit that i am someone you met at occupy and i was
involved with the media team, the rest of your previous comment is pure
hyperbole and libel (not threatening suit, just stating the facts):<br><i><br>"He almost singlehandedly managed the finances of OccupySF"<br>
</i>hyperbole - occupysf's finance committee is concensus based, the
only discretion that I exercise is with the petty cash requests under
$50 - non-petty cash requests were decided by the ga in the end and
requests under $250 by the finance committee in the beginning.<br>
<i><br>"He would frequently schedule meetings at times when most people happened to be unavailable."</i><br>libel
- I did not schedule meeting times; they were decided by consensus,
based on when active finance committee members were available.<br>
<br>"<i>There was no small consternation over his decision to take sole control of the occupysf@gmail alias</i>"<br>libel
- i assume you are referring to occupysfcommunications@gmail and the
only consternation with the account was when the only two admins
announced their departure from occupysf to start occupy bay area united
after the mission smashy-smashy rally/march against gentrification
before may day. i merely changed the password after their announcement
and invited any and all active members to assist me. incidentally, only
one person agreed to assist, yet never actually followed through.<br>
<br>"<i>There is also the matter of the missing money - at least $9000
is unaccounted for. This is the money that I was told, by Finance, was
remaining at the conclusion/diffusion of the movement, ultimately never
to be seen again. This is in addition to monies that went missing during
the course of things</i>."<br>
libel - there was an incident, before we got a trust account, where ryan
convinced the ga to split up about $6000 among 5 people and 2 of them
never returned; aside from that, the only other incident was when we
discovered pirate mike was buying beer for the peacekeepers and we
removed him from his position as treasurer. where do you get the $9000
figure and who is "Finance", i've never met her/him before.
additionally, the ga stopped meeting in october 2012 and only a few
hundred dollars remained which went to storage & sprint contract for
livestreaming the cops, ga's and events.<br>
<br>"<i>While I do not know what happened to that money, and have little personal beef with Robb,</i>"<br>libel - the first 1/2 implies a false set of facts (see above) and the second 1/2 is seemingly accurate (can't read your mind).<br>
<br>"<i>I do not think it would be the best plan for him, or some
mysterious 3rd party presented by him, to handle money on noisebridge's
behalf.</i>"<br>ok, my bad, this statement is neither hyperbole nor
libel, it's just your opinion and you are entitled to it, even if it's
misinformed. although, i must assert that the "mysterious 3rd party
presented by him" is stan@spaz, who is a well trusted member of the
noisebridge community and has forgotten more about hacking that you and i
will ever know, and he asked about who was handling the "fund raising"
aspect and i talked him into doing it (he has lots of experience) and
agree to help him make flyers, which we spent all friday night making
(except for some of kellen's 'new job" party w/a magician =-)) and
finally finished at 6:00am, right before i read the instant libelous
message. for the record, if no one else is approved, stan will be
handling the money, not me.<br>
<br>for the record, i never stole any money from occupysf; please, bring
forward any evidence to the contrary, but remember mere biased opinion
is not evidence; or in the alternative, let's have a mock trial
somewhere and you can present whatever hearsay you can find and I will
contest it. sound like fun? it does to me, i would love to smash this
libelous rumor more than you would like for it to be true<br>
<br>in parting, i must ask you, rachyl, has anyone ever started a nasty
rumor about you that wasn't at all true? if so, how did it make you
feel?<br><br>please pardon any typos, i'm tired and it's too long (apologies for that)<br>
<br>good day and good luck with your portable speaker mod<br><br>p.s. i have little personal beef with you too; i don't think you started the rumor, but i know you could have.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div><b><i><a href="http://occupysf.org" target="_blank">occupysf.org</a></i></b></div>
