[occupyaustin-it] Which Boyd Carter do we believe?

"in support of the Occupy Austin, Occupy Wall Street and other Occupy sites
worldwide." .  I was hoping for gratis services for all occupy projects
regardless of scope, application or who gets credit.  It's an expensive
service from this company and I knew we couldn't pay for it.

This came from a web form I filled out trying to get free services for the
movement worldwide.  I've never had the ability to send emails as
it at occupyaustin.org it's always been a distribution list to me.  It was
listed here so all the IT magnets would be able to see what I was doing with
the replies, after discussing reaching out to this software as a service
company in the open IT meetings.  

"We typically take in-kind donations in lieu of cash donations."  This is
because people who sell stuff online with non-profit discounts still want to
receive payment and still want to see the non-profit IRS number to document
their tax write-off and I didn't want a hold up if they were willing to see
past this and help us by just giving us something for free. Occupyaustin
still doesn't have a IRS non-profit cert.  On the whole this is true
movement wide because it can take a year to file for 501(c)whatever status
and receive it.  

Why are you so preoccupied with enforcing your imaginary local bureaucracy
and getting your hands on money, Brian?

*EVERYTHING IT WORKS ON IS POTENTIALLY NATIONAL IN SCOPE*  All national IT
inter-occ calls I've been on have gone something like this: "Here's what
we're working on. Who else is doing something similar?, and How do we scale
it up internationally to avoid reproducing work?"  Blame the technology, not
us. Stop indicting all IT occupiers worldwide.  You look foolish.

You will not limit my scope for your delusions of grandeur and petty
provincialism, Brian.  I'll work on whatever I want to work on for the
movement, thank you very much.  The reference of my IT magnet status of the
time was for authentication and non-repudiation with back channels via the
occupyaustin.org website where I *was* .. WAIT A MINUTE.. *STILL*???? ARE
YOU EFFING KIDDING ME????..  listed as a magnet *and* where people are
invited to donate via wepay. 

Has anyone had a chat with you about logging into and publishing
emails/accounts that aren't in your name yet?  That legal account has
client/attorney privileged emails, btw.  Good luck with that.  You aren't
building any trust in the nerd community here. Brian, Anton and Cesar are
also logging into and publishing individually named emails i.e.
jonathan at occupyaustin.org -- I advise anyone with a named occupyaustin.org
account to reconsider using it if you are worried about your privacy.  Brian
and Anton clearly don't give a crap and are more than happy to punt your
rights with their own warrantless searches.  Bad form, Brian.  Very bad
form.

This movement isn't about me, it isn't about Austin, and it isn't about YOU,
Brian.

WE WON'T QUIT.

I can't believe I'm still wasting time with this crap :/  

Please contact me if you have any questions. (something Brian still hasn't
done.  What a journalist)

Thanks,

Boyd
