KBOO Elections & Forums

Hi Devin, your repartee is really awesome, but a waste of time, since all I said was that some censored folks knew about the Nazi sympathizer issue six months to a year before it became public.
Your candidate statement and your comments at the candidates forum really emphasized your conflict resolution skills.  You sounded really good, but if you can get this bent out of shape about someone just stating A FACT...........I doubt that you can really resolve conflicts, especially at kboo.
KBOO has been through a lot, a lot of people who talk a good line and act totally different when out of the public eye.  Why don't you get bent out of shape about that, or can you only handle the petty stuff?
If you really cared about the Nazi "issue (as I named it)" you would care LESS about the name, and MORE about the culture.  A culture which includes censorship, ethnic cleansing, and the big lie----all three of which are prevalent at KBOO.
 

I don't recall any candidate using the word "Nazi" on Thursday night's candidate forum, though, as I recall, someone did on Wednesday night's forum.  Of course, it would be easier for us to verify all that if the audios from those two nights were both available.  Development has said both audios will be posted, but I see that they are not, as yet, posted.   May I request to know when we can expect to see the audios posted?
 

Being professional is not confusing issues by hijacking words and phrases to exploit for your cause.  Tragically, you're forgetting that reporters are first thinkers, and then reporters.
1)  I am the author of the use of the word Nazi on Thursday night.  I repeat once again, the word Nazi was used in the sentence "We knew about the Nazi sympathizer issue six months to a year before it became public."  This is the pure statement of a fact.... 
2)  Please get over this fact, Devin, and stop trying to change the subject to something else.  The point being detracted from is that we are a group who knows their stuff, and like all good radio people, we report the news.  The bad radio people censor such stuff, to put it bluntly.  The dichotomy between reporting and the muzzling of reporters is my point. 
3)  I personally think the above is a pretty "professional" point for any reporter to make....
4)  Onto an entirely different subject:  the Nazis and the Nazi sympathizer issue.  To be clear, we---the whistleblowers---DID NOT create the Nazi sympathizer issue, NOR did we create the Nazis.  PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE THIS ANY LONGER THAN YOU ALREADY HAVE.
5)  If you haven't yet made the logical distinction between reporters who report on the facts, and the facts that they report on....then please take pause and figure it out.  Please, like any good conflict resolution person does, keep your personal biases/conflicts out, they skew your logic.  Don't make me get all critical thinkin' on ya!!  ;)
6)  Until you overcome this...please don't use baseless words to confuse the public.  That's very unprofessional to say the least, and no amount of "decorum" and decoration can hide it.
7)  By not coming to terms with this, you are prolonging a worn-out conflict/war against reporters, and wasting everyone's time at KBOO.  KBOO has seen plenty of logo tauting fake progressives who subtly and not-so subtly undermine community radio.  Trying to stop reporters from being reporters guarantees perpetual conflict at KBOO, because we are community radio, and reporting is the core of our business.  Playing shoot the messenger is entirely suicidal and self-destructive at KBOO.  Can you please just let KBOO be KBOO?
8)  Since you are using the sensationalism of the Nazi issue and the Nazi sympathizer issue to distract from the real issues and attack reporters at KBOO who state stone-cold facts..........I can see that like in most conflicts, an underlying issue is driving you, which is not the stated issue. 
So, for the good of KBOO, this discussion belongs off of the website. 
Please email me at joilaing@hotmail.com to talk about whatever's bugging you, and so that KBOO can have some relief from you trying to save reporters from reporters.  If you want a conflict resolution professional to be at hand, we can surely invite one in---

PS, I suppose you could say that I'm appealing to the KBOO membership to vote for me because I'm a truth teller and that I stand up to conflict.  And I would say that you are appealing to the KBOO membership to vote for you because you're a conflict resolution person.
So......have I stood in the way of your ability to resolve conflict and to prove that you can solve conflicts and look at them as opportunities, etc.?  No, not at all you're 100% free to prove to KBOO that you can solve conflicts.
In fact, I have enhanced that idea by taking initiative/leadership and creating an opportunity to solve this conflict professionally outside of the website without draining the time/energy of the KBOO membership....
But all I'm trying to do is to be a reporter, a problem solver, etc.  I'm not getting in your way by doing that, am I? 
So please, if I'm not in your way, can you stay out of mine?  Is that fair?  Otherwise, you've actually created a conflict, and KBOO requires both reporters AND a conflict-free environment.....
