Climate Camp Exclusion

David Rose | 01.08.2007 17:04 | Climate Camp 2007 | Analysis

Your exclusion of me from the camp is as wrong as BAA's injunction against the camp

Dear Climate Campers,

Sorry, I'm trying to stay calm and reasonable about my exclusion from
the camp but I cannot stay calm any longer.

This exclusion is wrong and unfair. I'm going out of my mind about this!

The only reason to exclude people from the camp is if they represent
some kind of real risk or threat to other people in the camp or the
camp itself.

I represent no threat to anyone (and people in the Climate Camp
organization have told me this in writing).

I am being excluded from the camp because certain people do not like me.

XXXXXX1 - removed details

Let me repeat .....I am being excluded from the Camp for Climate
Action because certain people do not like me.

Sending emails to people who do not want to receive emails (such as
this email to you, dear reader .. ie: spaming) is no justification
for my exclusion from the camp.

XXXXXXXXX2 - removed details

Tranquility are out of order. XXXX3 has never even spoken to me
but is happy to accept the word of XXXXXXXXXX4
against me without EVER hearing my side of the story.

I cannot sleep at night. I feel anxious and depressed.

My exclusion is a petty vindictive act which has no moral or
intellectual justification.

I will be attending the Camp for Climate Action this year.

If Tranquility want to use violence to excluded me, then that is their
choice. I will not be using violence but I will resist this exclusion
and any assault on me.

As soon as I am excluded from the camp, I will attempt to re-enter the
camp .... again and again .. all week.

I will also be going on the day of action at facilities around
Heathrow and I am now seeking to join an affinity group.

I feel a moral responsibility to go on the day of action at Heathrow
and it is wrong for people who do not like me to rob me of the chance
to take direct action on climate change and social justice at this
historic time. How can you do this to me? Why are you doing this to me
when I am no threat to anyone in the camp? How can you do this to me?

My exclusion from the Camp is an over reaction by Tranquility and it
should be resisted by all decent people in the camp just as the
injunction by
BAA is a stupid over reaction and should be resisted by all.

Climate Camp should not be about the bitchy inter-personal 'politics'
of 'I do not like that person'. It should have values and codes that
can be defended in public ... rather than be about back stabbing in
private.

I am more than willing to talk to anyone at the camp and explain what
happened between XXXXXXXXX5 and myself and why I represent no threat
to anyone.

You should not punish someone who falls in love with another person
who is trying to recruit them into activism. xxxx6 targeted me for 10
months and I took her interest in me for the real thing. When I
realised it was all manipulation and mind games I felt hurt and angry
and sent her a load of text messages and emails. I'm sorry I did that
xxxx5 but I felt very hurt and used but it was wrong of me to send
you the text messages . Please forgive me, xxxxx6 and let me attend
climate Camp and take direct action against the real enemy.

Falling in love was my crime and this exclusion is my punishment and I
will not meekly accept it.

No way!

See you all at the camp.

x


David
