Protect the neutrality of BootCamp
Winston Hope Smith
Hi all
A short while ago a raw recruit sent me this...
Now I was under the impression that BootCamp was off limits for this sort of thing and the Commander of BootCamp, Mr. MrConwayTwitty, needs to understand this and respect his [position and not use it for personal gain.
I expect no more of this skulduggery!
The neutrality of Bootcamp is non-negotiable.
Until next time

agreed
I dont post my silly articles in LA shoutbox and am not even a commander.
Actually as QM of Boot Camp I pm'd recruits asking them to join the IFP. This enabled us to get into the top 5 and we haven't really looked back since. I guess maybe I would draw a line on using the MU feed.
Same image as mine but I didn't send it. Nice to meet you Mr Smith I share your concern for sure. Friending you!
I do think there is a difference between the MU Commander Message and PMs. I mean that is how most law works in most Western Nations, you aren't supposed to preach politics if you get government money. Now if you lead an organization that gets money and you want to invite people to your home for a fundraiser, more power to you, but not from the organization itself.
Would you let the Community Org newspaper be used to recruit for say ILP?
and if so for how much?
lol @ Yddub
Marinko did it too, recruits post politics their too.
Dirty mud sling.
well tbh i posted it but not under Irish boot camp, i posted it I don't neg. that but as I said not as BC
I don't choose whether or not it comes out as boot camp or myself in the post. I was looking for votes.
Will publish article on it tonight.
Mudsling for the sake of mudslinging..
btw, he never said that they have to vote for him 😉
Look you all seem to be doing it...maybe from now on you might respect the concept?
As a point, how is this mudslinging? This seems like a legitimate question. It isn't even particularly aggressive, he just asks that people not do this sort of thing again, that seems like a fair and sensible request to preserve the great place that is Boot Camp.
Conway...1% integrity, 99% pure fail.....
Ireland...here is your CP candidate....vote for him and remove the rest of honor that left in this country.
It didn't left much so Conway will not have to work hard...

I think everyone here has a great repect for Malbekh as i do, but to me this is a worse issue than posting a link to an article. However i see no problem with either of them. Malbekh as a PP did his duty to his party in trying to recruit Ireland's younger players
and help them grow in his party. All Conway is doing is spreading his article and campaigning. He reaches out to a different voter base than other candidates do, however he does his job well and deserves this PERK. If a CP announces his re-election campaign in a CP article, its just a perk of his position, not abuse of it. As long as the jobs getting done well, as Conway is doing, then it's not abuse at all. Politics are politics.

LA is an MU alliterated to the ILP
So in your opinion we should accept sending our Div 1 recruits over to BootCamp where the Commander then tries to get them to vote for him and not for the affiliated candidate.
If this is the accepted policy the result will be LA will stop sending new members there.
I don't want that and I don't believe you want that. PM who you want as an Individual but posting as Commander to your troops asking for support is wrong.
@WHS you're trying whole time to tell us something bout democracy (if I'm right) and than you're trying to be dictator [tell them who to vote for etc.]
@marinko I do not understand your point?
If it is that you think I TELL people how to vote then you obviously never received an election message from me.
Votes should be earned not "tell them who to vote for etc."
I never told them to vote for me.
fair enough but you get my point I hope....can all commanders present and future just respect the concept of neutrality of the office?
I agree that eBootCamp should be neutral and apolitical. Approaches to members should be personal and not making use of rank/structures of organisation.
@whs nvm, just hope so that this is true : D
whs fails again
i know for fact when u enter croatian boot camp or croatian army... not private armies, but goverment run organizations, in each topic on each irc channel first thing clearly written in caps is KEEP POLITICS AWAY FROM CHANNEL. I mean... even croats figured that one out. Military has to be totally out of politics.
dude, do you have to mention Croatia in every comment you make?
was sharing expiriance... so in this instance yes
" I mean... even croats figured that one out." This "even" was a good one.... lol
stpucca are you retard or someething like that ?
Winston Hope Smith i agree with you
no hateful.. i am your father
Asking newbs to join your political party & vote for you in election are both slimey things to do.
