Being a co-founder and co-convenor of the Just Net Coalition (JNC),
the last part of this statement and its implied mischaracterization of
the nature of my postings is in my eyes highly offensive and quite
inappropriate.

I hereby formally request an apology.

Does this mean that those who care about democracy, and who consider it
essential that it must be accepted and respected when people talk about
the need for governance to be truly democratic, will have to go
elsewhere?

Greetings,
