[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Yesterday (Friday, November 30) I received the letter of expulsion I 
had been anticipating given the conduct of the national office against 
me.  I will get it scanned so that I can reprint it here for the many 
who have shown an interest in this subject.  For now, I am hurt that 
certain officers of an organization I cared so much for have shown so 
little concern for me.  Many people would have resigned either 
officially or effectively a long time ago given this kind of treatment 
for expression of their views within what was supposedly the democratic 
process of the organization.  I tried my best to remain an active 
member, submitting in the end the best written defense Icould write to 
the national board in the short time I was given.  I will share this 
defense here also.
 
I have heard that once someone is declared persona non grata by the 
national office that members who used to be friends suddenly react with 
cold indifference.  I hope that for David, Lloyd, Pat and other 
Federationists out here this will not be true.
 
Thanks to everyone who has shown their support and interest in my case. 
 I will provide more details as soon as I can.
