[sudo-discuss] johnny ban / process?

Wed Jul 20 13:18:33 PDT 2016

LOL So in addition to being pre-judged and convicted by a kangaroo court of
4 sudoers at last week's meeting, I must also watch what words I used to
express myself in defense of public accusations?  Well, then, add
patriarchal to fascist and supremacist tendencies, ye saviors of the
oppressed!

let's take it step by step:
* 4 sudoers banned me without process or quorum, using superseding powers,
just like fascists do
* my privacy with regard to claims made has been violated
* sudo room's own process has been hijacked, which was supposed to provide
me with presumption of innocence and a few "rights", and the pretense of
good will; and an actual process of resolution via mediation
* I can't speak freely without repudiation and judgement

But you can't take some words?  Have a middle finger then!

Thanks to your protocol, I have to absorb a continuation of a year's worth
of harassment and abuse from lesley, now in public spectacle form, with
accusations to supposed peers.  Same shit, different levers.  I'm being
called all kinds of things here in this thread still, but I can't state I
think some people's behavior is fascist and still expect fairness?  Okay
then!

Ya'll know zero facts, and aren't even listening to one who has had
firsthand experience with this conflict.  There was zero evidence of unsafe
behavior, or danger, to anybody.  The information disparity you are acting
on is beyond reproach, and is causing acute lunacy.  Has anybody from last
week's meeting even spoke up yet?  Where you at, lil fascists?

Btw, ya'lls high-winded "support of the oppressed" would not pass muster
for many other oppressed people and communities, no matter how much you
claim to protect them;  it would look and smell like the systems used by
people of privilege to enact continued systemic oppression, even while
being oblivious to it.

I do not have any desire to take part in mediation where I am straight
jacketed while "the process" is manipulated by the accuser and a small
faction of members.  Sudo room done gave up sudo privileges when it
acquiesced to the OMNI.  As was noted above by another member, fairness
cannot possibly be expected by oneself such as me.

Ya'll can keep that rat in your trap.

FYI:  I had to formally evict kick Lesley out of our house on account of
many other people she harassed and abused with these same tactics.  In
fact, more than one person here would accuse her of sexual harassment.  I
guess we should have taken it up with the high court of OMNI/sudo!

I am her target now, because I am the only one who had authority to remove
her from our house, and I did so, finally, despite our friendship, only
after patiently attempting many, many times get mediation between her and
others (she refused most attempts), and begging that she leave on her own,
for the good of all.  I did this with nothing but words and oaths and
sadness, even as she began turning the accusations and harassment on me.

And It was this same manipulative behavior to the landlord that
precipitated my current eviction, which has sent several people in my
community, all of them as vulnerable as lesley, running for cover elsewhere.

If ya'll want some testimony from other of lesley's victims who got it
worse than I am even now, and who can definitely not be mistaken for an
able cis white male, i'll be glad to get it to you so you know what you're
defending with your so-called process.

Perhaps then yall dummies will understand why the omni and sudo have begun
looking like a private club of privilege masquerading as the white knight
for all oppressed people everywhere.  Pick one please, and stop trying to
fool the good people of Oakland.

Meanwhile you're now safe-spacing an admitted and actual racist,
supremacist, and misanthrope.

And you refuse to react with reason, and haste, to this ironic and tainted
breach of process, privacy, dignity, and cooperative spirit.  Gotta get
back to hacking the system!

Yes, fascist is the right word.  It's just right.  You don't like?  Eat it!

You will be judged by the society you choose to keep, not your righteous
self-identifications, proclamations, and fungible policies, despite your
best intentions.  Ya'll too comfortable.

I'm not "taking this seriously", cuz that would make me ill, but I ain't
joking either.  Ya'll be breathing too much of your own righteous gas to
think your notions of propriety and process are worth the trouble.  Thanks
for the solder.

It's on ya'll to come correct, not me.  Middle finger to your "process".  I
don't need lesley's  harassment magnified on me by your social club's
bugged protocol. I was happy as a clam to be rid of her at last.

I'll give up all omni to be rid of one Lesley Bell.  With hope that it
prevents her doing oppressed people on the outside more harm, may the OMNI
become the ONLY space she feels safe.

peace signed,
johnny
