[matilda] about 0742 conflict and other very real and urgent needs

[Amparo P Gutierrez]

I thought some one else (2 persons at least, D.H. and S) had offered 
themselves to act as mediators (this was in relation to previous sad 
exchange involving JM and RT and EW, which led to bans, quarrels, and 
you all know what). But seriously, don't you think it's time to ask for 
a third party (perhaps an external facilitator, or psychologist or 
mental health therapist, preferably a sensitive person, who is not 
biased against anyone, but not me please for obvious reasons no 
therapist) to deal between these two persons, and to help with ongoing 
conflict resolution?

Another point is that it's not clear (despite what i thought and said 
before, sorry) who's handling the money or small budget available for 
building maintenance and infrastructure. As it is, we have to pay from 
our pockets. For example, we are repairing now the art gallery 
downstairs. The new art collective team is putting a lot of work and 
enthusiasm, but really things could be easier if there was for instance 
5 pounds handed to us to buy some wall stripper liquid (otherwise this 
is going to take hours and hours of silly labour, silly because a wall 
stripper liquid would help removing three layers of old paint so that 
the art gallery space can be rebuilt asap). And we are having bone 
pains: pains in the back and shoulders of at least two persons.

Now this is a bit tedious, 'coz we have to keep repeating at every 
meeting and corner that we are doing this for the sake of the building.
And we are not affluent.

So about the above, we have expressed this requirement but the answer 
again has been that no one knows whom we can address. This is quite 
unfair considering that the entire Matilda has been put to serioius 
threat on consideration of the income provided by big parties with bar 
included. We have tolerated this, but now it turns out that there is no 
money not even five pounds (?) for a peaceful new collective, not 
involved in any fights and which has never created trouble for anyone else.

So yes me too, as 0742,  is a bit hurt.
But 0742 forgets this: you graciously offered to forgive your attacker. 
You didn't accept his/her offer for  compensation. You made this 
decision all by yourself, perhaps it was very noble of you but we are 
only humans, 0742, and now part of you is still burning with resentment 
for the defacement of your artwork.



well let's not despair
