[IMC-bristol] The bog brush of truth

Tue Mar 9 16:36:25 PST 2004

Hi all,

I'm back on the email again and quite touched by the anonymous support. I 
can understand with the vitriol flying from certain points of the compass 
why whoever it is would want to stay anonymous. Is this the way to 
encourage cool - sensitive - new people in to BIMC? Or are we being knotted 
up into a furball of suspicion? More importantly are we doing this city 
justice?

Why am I supposed to be staying away from meetings? If someone has decided 
they don't want to talk about 'my case' that's fine, but I'll probably have 
stuff to contribute to the rest of the agenda - don't I normally get my oar 
in somewhere ;-)        If I'm free (which, in my quasi-anarchic way, I may 
not be) I'm coming - If my right to be there causes anybody a problem 
that's tough - you have to live with the consequences of your nastyness. 
We're not a trot style group surely?

If there is any far right stuff on the American Free Press website then I'm 
Bin Laden's bog brush!  This whole thing has wasted way too much time and 
energy already. I'm not going to reply to any more 'far right chums' yukky 
stuff nor about about who's allowed in to what meetings on this list - I'll 
chat to Kyra and the rest of you face to face. And some meeting soon must 
clearly include Ian Ferguson's abuse of his administration of this list.

I've already said I'm only too happy to sign the external stuff over Mike

btw. If anyone would like the amusing HTV Bristol/Gloucestershire 
freemasons (not to be confused with the MV's) film on VHS you can pick up 
free copies from me at my office.
