I presume you mean NOT concerned.

There is probably nothing that I regret saying either, although I may have
¨said some things about people in a way I wouldn't say in a public forum.

What I am concerned about is that people on both sides of the fence will
¨pick over every word, and twist and turn our words out of context to
support ¨their arguments. Far from settling
arguments, it will probably ensure that they will continue for some time to
¨come, totally undermining each of us and the ZCC as a group.

What annoys me is that this was done without any consultation with the rest
¨of us. All of us assumed that what we said in ZCC was private to the six
of ¨us.

Renato uses the argument that in his country, sessions and votes from the
¨Senate or the Congress or regional or municipal chambers are publicly open
¨and he sees this case as similar.

The point is that these people knew that their discussions would be made
¨public and have agreed to their disclosure. We didn't.

I have again asked Renato to remove the file until people's feelings here ¨are known.

I go on record in saying that I do not give permission for any of my
¨messages in this echo to be disclosed in any other place.

Best wishes,
Malcolm
