It's quite simple really, I was just pointing out that the list was 
being used to co-ordinate people and start a campaign.
As a moderator of this list I don't have an issue with people using it 
to co-ordinate an anti-deportation campaign.

This isn't a personal vendetta at all, and the concerns i've expressed 
about this individual who identifies himself only as an email address 
(hub13 at riseup.net), are mirrored by other people involved in Birmingham 
noborders and further afield in the noborders uk network. I can ask them 
to verify this if you so wish.

As I've never threatened the integrity of any campaign group or issue, I 
can only interpret this accusation as being malicious.

And for what it's worth I haven't undermined your efforts at all on this 
list. I've posted information to assist your efforts rather than 
undermine them.
All I've done is raise a concern about an individual on this list who is 
more of a liability than an asset to an anti-deportation campaign.

Please don't patronise me Felipe, I've been active around noborders 
issues for some time now and i'm an active participant in the uk 
noborders network.
