Public Apology Nathan Natas
by Simon in

2. announcements
i'd like to offer a public apology to nathan natas for making a wrong decision when i deleted him.. i allowed a combination of previous issues we'd had and input from other forum members to bias my decision which lead me to what i now, in hindsight, believe to have been a mistake.. whether you want to come back and post here or not i wanted to at least say sorry and will reactivate your account..

Someone once said here that it's never too late to do the right thing. Glad to see that he took his own advice, and the site is much the better for it. Now an inglorious chapter and altercation on JWN can be closed with the bannings reversed. Welcome back!

What will happen when JWActivists goes back online?

the aawa website jwactivists is down for repairs or whatever, so here is my prediction of what it will be when it comes up:.

* the site will have removed all mention of jwn.

* the site will have revised their own history.. * the site will have a registry that will be contingent on confirmation of identity in relation to the wts, but will also limit the function and communication of naysayers of john cedars' only working organization on earth.. * privacy will not be addressed.

They might be implementing a group forum discussion feature similar to JWN in order to facilitate their remaining band of supporters and defenders who suddenly feel alienated from this site. That would explain the long time down for maintenance. It also is circumstancial evidence that perhaps the donations and volunteer applications have dried up somewhat where shutting the site down for a couple of days wouldn't have too much of an adverse effect. They also have a new Vice President to appoint.

John Hoyle (JuanViejo2) helped set up jwsurvey for cedars and does all the technical stuff for him there.

Is AAWA a non profit? Or is the application still in consideration?

i dunno.

which one is it?.

There can get into a heap of trouble if they advertise as non-profit when they are not yet approved. For tax purposes they'd likely have to claim all donations as gifts or gratuities, and pay the appropriate taxes until they qualify as a non-profit. Don't know if they can retro-actively claim donations as tax-exempt after they are approved as non-profit. For the donator, you also cannot claim a deduction since what you gave was a gift, just like if you gave someone on the street $100.

A poster who has experience in running a non-profit previously mentioned in another thread that it takes 2-12 months for the US tax authority to approve your entity as a non-profit. As the AAWA was incorporated in March, the earliest they can possibly receive this status is in mid-May.

Good point, wha happened?. For someone in his position, a lawsuit is the last thing he would want to initiate, either personally or through AAWA. Does he not realise that he will be subpoenaed to the court in Arizona, and be subject to cross-examination? Does he not realise that his long protected identity would be revealed in such proceedings? So for him to tell Simon people 'have been sued for less' with regards to the AAWA - JWN feud is a very foolish threat to make, especially with his own legal ambiguities.

He used the time zone thing with every debate that he sought a convenient way out of. In the aforementioned 'Falklands' thread, once he berated me and a few others that he considered as my defenders for keeping him up an hour past what was his normal bedtime, acerbated by the time zone difference from what he was used to. Then the next day he warned everyone what he was going to be away from the thread for some time, and that he couldn't 'intervene' should he be 'needed'. I thought to myself, 'who does this guy think he is? The debate cannot possibly go on without his input?' While I recognised his views on the Malvinas from a British perspective, that type of blatant arrogance and self-importance rubbed me the wrong way.

"Please send donations to a company run by an anonymous guy somewhere in Croatia and the guy who swears he lives in his house"
Careful... As cedars said, people have been sued for less...!
I got cheeky a few days ago and read a few of John Cedars twitter feeds. He got cross with a newsfeed that he claimed was 'anti-Croat'. That pretty much gave it away for me. Either Croatia or the former Yugoslavia.

So, does Nathan Natas get an invite back? It seemed that cedars' objection was the only obstacle getting and keeping him banned.
