As returning officer, I don't want to interfere in the statements of
candidates unreasonably. But as that particular allegation appears to
be personal, I'd like to refute the allegation of a "private war against
FSFE". The motivation for FSFellowship is not "Anti-FSFE", it is
"Pro-Fellows", "Pro-Volunteers", "Pro-Free-Software" and as your
returning officer, I am also "Pro-Democracy". If I am anti-something,
it is probably Anti-Censorship, as demonstrated in my first email to
this list. But we could also write that in a positive way:
Pro-Freedom-of-Expression.

An election is an excellent opportunity for freedom of expression, given
the competitive nature of the activity.

Once again, I don't want to undermine your position, but I would like to
emphasize nobody is forced to remain on any Fellowship mailing list.
People are free to unsubscribe at any time, regardless of who they vote
for or who wins.
Good luck to all candidates.
