Sounds like a kneejerk reaction to me. There is no censorship in the FSFE. The 
maillinglist is just moderated not censored.

I disagree in some points with the FSFE, because I think we need more 
transparency etc. But there are many things I agree with e.g. "Public Money 
public code" etc. I think we need a strong FSFE in Europe to support our 
community.

So I don't think I have to stop my support because some privileged guys have 
their egotrips and have to share their Weltschmerz with our community to feel 
better. 

And no, FSF isn't more mature. At least not as long Stallman is in charge.

Regards,
Christian

After reading the posts here I’m seriously thinking to stop supporting the FSFE 
as a „supporter“ and also because of the fellowship discontinuation. In the 
Future it seems better to support the Free software Foundation in the us 
which’s more mature.

You have not being allowed to participate because the deadline for candidates
have been on February 1st and you applied on April 15, means you have been
2,5 months beyond the deadline. This is in no way censorship.

here available for everyone to see:

this talking about censorship meanwhile is getting really boring. I know of
multiple people and messages that have NOT been delivered on your "alternative
mailing-list" fsfellowship.eu by Reinhard Müller, Florian Snow, Christian
Kalkhoff, Diogo Constantino and myself minimum.

so better start to lead by example before blaming everyone else or I will stop
listening.

And now let's see if this mail is going to be delivered on fsfellowhip.eu : )

Moderation is unlike censorship. Every message that is written in an
appropriate tone will be delivered to the list, no matter the opinion.

removing posts from the archive is not possible (for me).

When anyone feels attacked on a FSFE list in a way that is against our Code of
Conduct, please contact the CARE team about it directly yourself. You do not
need me or anyone else for this process in between. You can find contact
information of the team and its individuals here:

Best regards,
   Erik

And for once l quote you totally.

It is ridiculous and shameful behaviour of this individual. Outrageous.

They all should resign unanimously because l see no one stopping this
madness from inside.

The most offensive accusations made on the list today were not from new
subscribers, they appear to be made by a GA member from Germany, in fact
former country coordinator for Germany.  Out of your respect for your
request for being friendly, I'll avoid repeating his name again.

One of those posts is so offensive and inaccurate that I would kindly
request that if you are willing to censor new subscribers, you also
censor that GA member by removing his post from the public archive.

I would also request that you escalate that particular post to the CARE
team.

The root cause of all this appears to be the executive's decision to
attack the fellowship representative with an ultimately unsuccessful
motion to prematurely terminate his membership of FSFE e.V.  I remain of
the opinion that the resignation of the president may be more effective
in helping the community move on from that than tweaking moderation
settings.
