Der FSFE Mitarbeiter (mit Endgegner Shirt) wollte mir den Zugang zum FSFE Stand verwehren mit der Aussage ich würde quasi über den FSFE Tisch hinweg Negativ-Werbung machen. Ich fragte ihn nach dem Beweis, den blieb er schuldig und versteifte sich darauf bei seiner Behauptung zu bleiben, um mich dann des FSFE Standes zu verweisen. Content: A FSFE staffer rejected him access to the FSFE booth where he used to help out as a volunteer. The given reason was that majestyx was engaged in negative advertising on the FSFE from behind the booth. He asked for evidence but the FSFE staffer was not able to present it. That FSFE staffer (Erik) explained on the members only list: one of our supporters was acting like a wolf in sheep's clothing. While he was on one hand behind the booth to sell merchandise, he on the other hand spread self-made print-outs about "#fuckgooglefsfe" to criticise that FSFE accepts donations by google. (the print-outs were fortunately so bad and cryptic I doubt someone could understand what they are saying) Despite him insisting on his freedom of opinion, I forbid that person to spread these print-outs around the booth. The background seems to be a discussion on the German list (and maybe on some Berlin meetings) on whether it is acceptable that the FSFE takes donations from Google. In the aftermath of this one Berlin based member canceled their membership which triggered a discussion on the members only list. I have not seen these handouts but I assume the text was in line with his arguments expressed over several weeks on the German lists. Erik's reaction to ban him from *behind* the booth is fully acceptable to me and I would have done the same. Diverting opinions are for sure welcome but they should not be presented in a way which let bystanders assume that this (self-)critique is an official position of the FSFE.
