[Strawbale] Industrialization of bale wall construction

[Max Vittrup Jensen]

A) Please show the list where you apologized in public for your lies and
manipulations: Personally I'm unaware of this ever happening, so is the
rest of the ESBG team.

B) No point of trying to compare your statement to that of Bane's.
Naturally my reaction to someone I respect is going to be different to
someone I loath, and who has a track record of manipulation and falsified
statements.

C) Our ESBG and related activities lasted from early Tuesday to late
Sunday. You arrived Thursday afternoon, your lack of respect for the safety
of the site were extremely close to getting you kicked out at 2am, and you
left late Friday afternoon. It was clear that 90% of what you stated was
wrong observations. Seems to me you have no right to comment on ' the basic
approach of ESBG 2011". (BTW: We have no record of your payment). [Those of
you interested in an overview of what happened, as well as photos; Please
look at www.permalot.org]

D) The statement you quote of mine from 2009 is very correct. It says
nothing about me being against effective industrial approach to SB
building. On the contrary the mail goes on to explain that I'm very much in
favor of it. You snip out one sentence and make it look completely
opposite. (for those of you who  is interested in truth:
http://amper.ped.muni.cz/pipermail/strawbale/2009-September/001879.html ). You
may also want to see the speech I gave at the Cohabitat gathering in 2011;
and repeated at the ESBG. It's all about effective and industrial approach
to SB.

E) In your previous mails you again tried to claim leadership and influence
of who should host the next ESBG. With which right? Do you even have a
mandate from Austrian balers to be a national networker? To the best of my
knowledge you're completely self elected and trying to avoid a fair
influence of everyone. You also know that many of the other networker are
simply names you wrote on a list because they were at ESBG09.
To me this does not seem as a fair transparent system.
As I pointed out in the recent ESBG mail to networkers:
"We're aware that some of you have publicly announced that you don't want
to be the national contact, others don't forward mails (some due to lack of
national networks), and others represent only a fraction of the balers in
their country. Some are elected, others selected. Some selected by others;
some selected by themselves. ...And some countries are not included.
In other words, this list is quite dysfunctional.
This situation makes it very difficult to come up with a fair transparent
election system. In addition to this we have been procrastinating on
announcing this election (Sorry; blame Herbert!), and it's high time that a
host is decided upon."
