In the early days of the formation of NTAC, JoAnn Roberts attempted
to
"appoint" the future leadership of the organization. Several
of the
original Transflakes (that group that did the actual nuts and bolts
work
that led to NTAC) spoke up and demanded that the newbee organization
not
be the same old tired "leaders" but a true grassroots organization.
Since that time several (most) of us have been targeted and "encouraged"
to leave, myself included. Robert's role in that has been, while
largely behind the scenes, very real none the less. Robert's
demand to
"clean up the debates or lose funding already promised" back in October
of last year was instrumental in my removal from the board and the
immediate institution of totalitarian censorship of all NTAC
communications. Now there has been debate on the members list
and a new
and much more open threat from Roberts..........all sweetness and light
or no web site hosting and no monies from TGfund (yet again!)
Roberts giveth, Robert's taketh away..........If you idiots at NTAC
have
any brains or integrity left you'll tell Robert's to take a
hike........I'm not holding my breath. Remember when your NTAC
list
with it's hard won rules of engagement is either dumped totally or
subject to total censorship to appease Roberts and company (the real
NTAC in deed apparently) that this list remains open and uncensored
and
not only not connected to NTAC, but even owned by a non-member (although
original founder and persona non grata)

"NTAC has the worst reputation of any tg organization extant and it
is
because of the flame wars that go public on this list. The leadership
of
the other tg organizations think we're a bunch of nuts and loose
cannons."-------JoAnn Roberts
