Re: [ga] IDNO list chair election results

I'd like to think so, but I doubt it.

Things only get done if they suit Joop's vision of the IDNO.

Take the latest election, for example. Joop decided the method (votes for
multiple people, no weighting). Joop later decided to add two more voting
topics, without consulting with _anyone_.

Joop _is_ the IDNO.

Anyone that dissents with Joop's view, or even could possibly become (in
Joops opinion) a dissenter, is gagged, thrown off committees, or if there
is an emergency, an entire committee is disbanded.

Joop's personal view of events is placed on the IDNO website and contrued
to be "the way things happened", via selective editing of what appears.

It's a shame, but as it stands now, the IDNO is a dead duck.

If the IDNO is going to make progress, Joop is going to have to step away
completely and let the organisation mould itself. Unfortunately, history to
date shows that Joop isn't prepared to do that. And likewise, there are a
load of former and potential members that won't touch the IDNO with a
bargepole while Joop retains ultimate power.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
