I think we might explain that we have a variety of opinions about the
wiki pages. They are not our pages, they are a matter for another
autonomous collective. We have no plans to formulate a consensus-based
statement about them. We have more pressing business than formulating a
critique of Sheffield IMC's policies.

The fact that there are members of Sheffield IMC in our collective
doesn't mean that we have to (a) take a position on any particular
policy of IMC Sheffield, or (b) approve of everything that IMC Sheffield
says or does. More generally, we don't think it's either necessary or
appropriate for collectives to interfere in one-another's business in
the way that Bart is suggesting we should; that is a recipe for more
division and more splits. In other words: even if we had formed a
collective opinion about the wiki pages, we might well choose to keep
that opinion to ourselves.
