Hello Bill,

On Thursday June 21 2018 14:21, you wrote to me:

 MvV>> It is you that claimed there were votes from Z2. The onus of proof

 BM> Actually, Ward stated there was no objection to P4 and as I said, you

Ward also contradicted you. You claimed Z2 participated in the voting. Ward
claimed Z2 installed P4 by decree of the then ZC2, Henk Wevers. As I already
mentioned Ward has mixed up P4 and EP1. It was EP1 that was decreed in force by
Henk Wevers. P4 was rejected by Z2.

Not really my problem.

 MvV>> I am. But Lee is not. he is a user. His opinions are just that:
 MvV>> the opinions of a user. I am not bound by Lee's "rules".

 BM> Then let him know his rambling is not how you or anyong else in Z2
 BM> feels. That's the easy way to stop it.

I do not consider it my responsibility to stop, correct, educate or moderator
Lee.

 MvV>> Z2 was strongly against because P4 was incompatible with how
 MvV>> things were done in Z2.

 BM> Then why couldn't Z2 create a list of their objections on the ZC
 BM> platform? Silence, just as ignorance, is no excuse.

Why do you assume that Z2 remained silent? Z2 did not remain silent. On the
contrary. Of course Henk spoke up in the ZCC. But he did more. He hopped om a
plane to the US (sponsored by the HCC) to visit a syscon that was going on
there and use the opportunity to present the Z2 objections against P4 in person
to the Z1 powers that be. After presenting his case, Henk was promised that P4
would be postponed. However when he had returned to The Netherlands, he learned
that P4 was adopted anyway. Hence his "I felt betrayed".

 MvV>> There certainly was no lack of concern!.

 BM> So you're blaming initiative to speak out? Silence is not a very good
 BM> excuse.

For the umpteemth time: Z2 was not silent. You do not seem to be well
informed...

 BM> As I'm saying for the third time and hopefully the last, your silence
 BM> in the matter is no excuse. I am sure discussion could have allowed

You can be as sure as you want, but that is not what happened. Z2 presented its
case. It was ignored.

IOW: P4 was rammend down our throath.

 BM> I'm pretty sure if Henk would have developed a concise strategy for
 BM> Z2's concerns there would have been open ears or at least allow
 BM> modifications to Z2's plights until that day when it didn't exist
 BM> anymore.

Again: that is not what happened. Z2 spoke up, the objections were ignored.



Cheers, Michiel
