Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on Today at 06:39:41 PMWell, if the Open Society is welcoming people with such a track record as new members with a "Yayyy", then surely the party becomes politically responsible for that record? I should emphasise that this doesn't just refer to your party - the Red/Green party, as the party of the outgoing Seneschal who also thought there was no problem with that way of dealing with TERPs, faces the same question.

I just realised that the haughty refusal to answer a simple question ("do you think that style of answering TERPs is appropriate, or don't you")... kind of answers the question in and of itself. It seems that we have to start all over again with the question of whether political differences in Talossa justify outright rudeness and hostility.

Ok, Miestra.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on Today at 04:42:54 PMWhether he was rude to you is something you should hash out with him directly.

Well, no. It's a question of how Ministers should react to Terpelaziuns. Decorum, honestly, respecting the opposition's role in seeking accountability, etc.

While Free Democrats were in government we got a whole lot of what we considered annoying and bad-faith TERPs, but I think we at least attempted to answer all of them and didn't say "it's a secret" or "I'll tell you later" to any of them - I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm remembering wrong.

I'd recommend taking that up with Mximo directly if you genuinely believe he was lacking in decorum or not respecting your role as the Opposition. Sorry to hear you were annoyed by some of those terps we sent your way though.

Well, no. It's a question of how Ministers should react to Terpelaziuns. Decorum, honesty, respecting the opposition's role in seeking accountability, etc.  If I refer to one Minister, it's because no other Minister in the previous two TNC governments has behaved this way.

The standpoint where we won't condemn bad behaviour (even if we've railed against it ourselves) if our political allies do it is a menace to Talossa.

This holiday is passing by with a whisper sadly.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on Today at 03:37:58 PMDoes this mean that the OPEN party endorses the performance in office of the outgoing Minister of Defence and Foreign Affairs? And his attitude to Terpelaziuns?

I really want to know more about the history between you and Mximo.

That's not an answer, but I'm happy to give some information. Here is some background.

The only other thing I can add is that he was once an MC for the ZRT (Republican predecessors of the Free Democrats); if I remember right, what happened is at the end of that Cosă term I called for volunteers for the next Party list, Mximo didn't respond for whatever reason, and, well, I didn't pursue the issue very hard for reasons detailed in the above link. You'd better believe he didn't take that well.

In general Mximo has a record of doing 180-degree political turns based on perceived personal slights, which seems to be a theme these days.

Now. I know that you've been a big fan of the power of Terpelaziuns to hold Ministers to account; and that you're not a big fan of inactive ministers, or Ministers who rudely dismiss polite questions; so I'll repeat my initial question.

I will repeat my answer from the Political Discussion thread, Miestra, since you've asked the question previously. Questions to or about Mximo seem to be a current theme of yours. The fact that there was not more progress on LOSS was regrettable. Whether he was rude to you is something you should hash out with him directly.
