These were important issues, not power games, I
suspect you are just projecting. This is an anarchist
collective not a hierarchy, therefore we shouldn't
have unequal power within it such as sole moderators.

‘The simplest Surrealist act consists of dashing down
into the street, pistol in hand, and firing blindly,
as fast as you can pull the trigger, into the crowd.
Anyone who has not at least once entertained this
thought has a well deserved place in the crowd, with
the revolver pointed staright at their belly’ Andre
Breton 

I'm not sure that I want to associate with anyone who
is so alienated from reality by bourgeois
consciousness or hippy brainwashing that they cannot
identify with the deeply spiritual sentiments of that
statement. Or indeed anyone shallow or unsophisticated
enough to statements of sentiment literally.

Incidently I had several private messages of support
for that Maldive statement, its only a shame that the
moralistic thought police prevent such honesty being
expressed publically.

Nothing creates energy or destroys it. Thought only
channels it (or rather is it)!

But I'm not interested in thought that much, only
feeling which is more authentic.

But my current feeling is that very few people here
are really interested in being an active part of the
PMA group, or put it on a low level of their
priorities, this may be just due to the time of year
or some other factor, but unless I'm proved wrong
I think we should consider writing it off as a failure
and disbanding.
