Although I’m not sure if I’m ready to strawl through thousands and thousands of posts, I will try to “catch” the OCS-spirit.

Drawing conclusions after listening to one side usually leads to this deduction. Ps I do not know either side but I know what what is happening because I follow all the posts on all the groups.

Do not let working on couchsurfing make the logical deductions go haywire. It is ok to make decuctions after looking deep into the post and silence on both sides. Also it would be a good idea to talk to your friend who were at the collective and get some clarity on the situation .

“Since a management style has been established that sidelines criticism by applying naked power unchecked, change will only occur if and when there is a sense of real crisis. I would have preferred it to be an internal crisis, brought on by a ‘rebellion’ here, about censorship or communication, rather than something that puts volunteers in a Thai jail, or leaves surfers stranded all over the globe should the site go down (again).”

Again: I think it is far better for CS and for your own person (too much stress mate!) if CS and Kasper just leave eachother alone. CS has no advantage with this hate, and Kasper neither.

That said, I think that this might be my last comment on this blogpost. I have far better things to do.

Also, I think the stuff I have written is more true than the average stuff written by the CSLT (even though they don’t write so much in public).

I really like that, but why-o-why are you still barfing at CS and Casey / Jim in particular? Get over with it. If you feel a lack of energy fromout CS/LT, why try to destroy it, by stating things that are sometimes simply not true?

The negative energy might be around, but it’s not there without a reason, and I think it’s just a reaction on the lack of energy, and the negative energy that was sent back at me and other people. (I think no communication is very negative as well.)

I (and other volunteers) have spent an amazing amount of time (and money) on CS, just to be spit me out in the lowest possible way… I have seen no effort from the LT side to soothe this situation…

Also “[…] addition, after some complaints about this blog post, which is, I contend, a bit silly on its […]” is nothing more or less then an reaction on all the negative energy flowing towards CS and LT in particular.

Is there anyone else who makes decisions on couchsurfing when it comes to oss, financial decisions etc ?
