Rick,
You can spin this however you'd like. Fortunately it is all public record but feel free to keep playing at DJ Rove. When you do things like try to publicly chide me for my use of a term like "tourist" and then privately say "I would have thought that you would be as sick to death as I am of
people who haven't done shit around here telling us what to do with

Jason,
Your work is still accessible to the community, and OlyBlog will
continue to be a community resource -- however, without your
participation. And that is truly a shame. While your cause may have
been noble, your means, including threats, abuse, and manipulation,
undermined your ability to do that good work.

Rick,
Let's get real here. You lied to me. In turn you lied to a lot of people. You made it very apparent that I was working on a community owned project. You accepted free Zhonka hosting when you turned OlyBlog over to the community. You either agreed with me or did not correct my minsinformation when on multiple occasions I informed people on OlyBlog that the project is a collaborative one.

It wasn't a bargain, it was a relationship. A relationship that you
chose to treat with wanton disregard.
You can snag any code off of OlyBlog without access. Just call up the
page, highlight the material, right click, and choose "view selection
source" (on mac -- I'm not sure what it is on a pc).

Just to make this clear. I request OlyBlog hand over Creative Commons copyrighted material of my creation. I am not requesting it be deleted after this transfer, as per the CC copyright any future use of it would be credited to OlyBlog. Likewise if you do delete it after a confirmed full transfer of files that is your prerogative as you own the space.

Rick's behavior.
You have made me sorry, Rick. Very, very sorry. I did not realize what we had on the bargaining table. I do not bargain my child for work.

Oh, and I won't be donating any more of my time to your child's development.

Rick,
I would like to have access to the html for the wall, or you can go retrieve it all for me. I have most of it backed up but there's still a fair amount of work I did for which I do not have the code. I published it all under the CC license.
I would accept stevenl as a mediator. I will not be posting any more content (calendar, interviews, free wall, etc.) as long as you're in charge. I had thought people's perception that this space was not community space but Rick's space was wrong. Your behavior today has shown me that I was wrong. I am not donating any more of my time to making your space more valuable.

This is so disappointing, Jason. I had thought you were a person one
could reason with, or at least trust. I find I was wrong about that on
both counts.
I wish you well.
Cheers,
Rick

I vote no. Rick should stay.
Either or you could have backed off the PM backandforth and any point,
but you didn't.
My thoughts after this sentence are as much about me leaving in a week
or so than what we're discussing here: Olyblog is not the only, nor is
it the most important, blog in Olympia. It is a blog, not the blog. We

a call for a docent's resignation

2008-07-23T17:13:16Z

This is a call for a docent vote on the continued role of OlyBlog founder Rick McKinnon.
My vote is that Rick step down from his duties as docent and turn OlyBlog over to the Olympia community currently invested in the space as per his initial plan. I've been thinking about this awhile due to the difficulties people have separating him from OlyBlog but it was his behavior on this thread ([link]) that made up my mind. Included with this e-mail is a private message conversation Rick and I have been involved in since last week. As much of the content involves OlyBlog administration I think it should have been on the docent list for all of us to talk about from the beginning (as previously agreed upon).

It's about allowing comments on blogs and news sites. Really good, and, I think, right on.

I just banned new user onlythebest from OlyBlog. I recommend not following the link to his/her homepage as it will take over your browser (at least in firefoxon a pc) and subsequently pops up new browsers with racist propaganda.
