make the world a better place…

Dear Friends,

I feel the need to react on Marko’s accuses. I appologize for the inconvenience that this absurd and childish communication brings to you. Please, Marko I ask you: if you have any complaints, ideas, messages, comments, suggestions, reactions, than please react to the personal e-mails I have send to you or send me a personal mail, icq or msn message. I am in all your contact lists and for e-mail you can use the following e-mail address: makelovenowar@jelkkruk.com, do not spam the weblog with this crap.

Reaction on Marko:
Recent actions on the EASA website are an infringement of the main character of EASA, which seems to be inflicted by a minority of the EASA community (Marko Jell-Paradeiser, who is in control of the information provided on the website). This discussion primarily concerns Marko’s political no-war statement that replaced the original EASA frontpage www.jell-paradeiser.at. Seen the importance we as EASA community award to proper communication, I believe my actions to restore the original political neutral website are justified.

The main reason for my actions is NOT that the statements made might have a shortsighted, dogmatic, anti-intellectual or inconsistent character BUT is based on what is stated in article 1 of the EASA guide “Easa is not an established organization (1) but a non-political and non-profit network (2)…”. With implies that we can not (1) and will not (2) make official EASA opinions on political or other issues. Probably we are able to find a majority for some stand, but the EASA website is not maintained for this purpose, and should not be abused for this purpose. If any statement should be made about anything which does not regard EASA itself it should be resolved in the INCM or any other official meeting. In my opinion that also includes possible future “anti-dictatorship pages”, “weblogs against hunger”, statements against “bad weather” or protests against “bad hairdays”.


Sincerely yours,

Jelk ;-)


PS: The website www.easa.tk indeed shows the beautiful official website designed by Marko and friends, including a link to the weblog, excluding the frontpage with anti-war propaganda. The weblog contains the dynamic content (which can be changed by Marko) the static content is stored on a different server, which is not different to the situation before. As I have the responsibility to maintain the domain name www.easa.tk I see it as my duty to make sure it redirects to the right page and not to some spontaneous personal opinion on whatever from whomever. This was impossible since Marko changed the site several times to make his antiwar stuff to come up. I made a more stable copy of the site that would not change any hour and placed this on a server. And yes, however I find this of minor importance, the absurd “weblog against war” symbol, should in my opinion be removed too. How can you make an open platform for discussion if what is “right” is advocated by the platform itself? Anyway: I will be happy to redirect the domain to the original server of Marko’s father if the original political neutral site has been restored. If this will not be the case I will refrain from action until a “democratic decision” has been made concerning this topic on the next NC meeting. I am looking forward to a peaceful solution.
