Here it comes...

Considering how much abuse the Livestream team has taken over the past month at least, i'd say turnabout is fair play.

So..we have Eva's recent post on how she is doing "Women who Occupy" segment and announcing it is about S-E-X as part of a segment on OccupyNashville2012's livestream.

This was one of two different moves done by the same people, that have repeatively created the same arguments. However, it is apparently okay as long as they are the ones doing it.

Within these members, they went and formed a "PR group"..supposedly to create press releases and so on.
These same members have repeatedly pushed to have the camp shut down, and one of them has increasingly been hateful towards our Livestream and disruptive in chat. Also..definition of PR for those unwise to it:

1. The professional maintenance of a favorable public image by an organization or a famous person.
2. The state of the relationship between the public and a company or other organization or a famous person.

----------------------------------------------------------

This is certainly much more than just writing press releases. So why the lies? Why do these folks seem to feel that we are stupid and won't notice?

...and now a reply to an earlier posting on mine, in which one of the lot is trying to defend their action. Again, the double standard. If one of theirs does it..there is an excuse. If one of the livestream does it..there is no excuse and somehow it winds up being tech's fault as well.. (Which...it really isn't.)
..harassment all around.

But heaven's forbid you call them on it. Then you're a Fascist, a women-hater, and any other label they can throw at you.

Then the subject of transparency. How can a group claim to want transparency...and want mediation for that matter when..
-repeated harassment of the members of ON, including on two occasions challenging them to duels.
-increased double-standards..
-create groups deciding they speak for everyone without knowledge or consent.
-refuse to attend any form of mediation or even speak regarding these things.
-Refuse to admit any wrong-doing of any kind, and get nasty about it if pressed.
-portray a false image of how females are treated in the movement, and the behavior of males, stirring the pot and trying to make a gender war out of things. (ex: Psh, men. Oh, those male mods..)
-they have gone and got themselves some office space (Question: Where is the money coming from for this office space?) with the AFCLIU (A union pushing for the re-election of Obama)..and have been pushing for the camp to close down..and work within offices, etc.

Hmm. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. No secret meetings, buildings, and so on, eh?

Also, if the 2012 Livestream is all about Occupy..why are none of them here to cover events? There was no one to cover the 2011 New Years event. Or any of our GAs, despite outcry for more of that.
Where is it? Why is it that the majority of the members in this group are rarely even in camp..and do everything from home...yet say it is about Occupy? (You need to BE there in order to comment on it.)

The truth of it is plain as sunshine...and it is why we need to get our groups back in order. Our movement is about 'working together'..and what this is an example of is the concept of people that didn't get their own way..or weren't allowed to try and run things. (Leaderless movement, amazing concept!) ..and so they just made up their own thing. That isn't progress, and trying to say otherwise is a blatant lie, just like saying PR is about press releases is a blatant lie.

Also, let it be added within the email chains that this same group has repeatedly ignored any solutions or attempts at progress, solely to fixate on fighting, getting their own personal way..and/or trying to be the boss.

I am not going to name names. I don't personally need to. But actions speak louder than words, and the petty attempts of these people to dominate our movement..in some cases try and use it as a platform for their own blatantly prejudiced views..and create chaos and an environment of flat out bullying will not be tolerated.

Operation Reboot. This is the people's movement, not your battleground, but if you want a war so badly, we *will* fight you to keep it the people's movement.

We will not be Co-Opted
We will not be uprooted
We will not forget

Expect us.
