Nomenus is host to far more problems beyond the eternal gender-a-round. Last year I dropped out after an active Nomenus member kept sending me email threats such as "drop dead." My concerns about such treatment was ignored, so I withdrew for a breather. Now My membership back is blocked, meetings are held about accusations against me I'm not allowed to respond to or be participant to, accusations are printed against me in Nomenus minutes I am blocked from responding too. One individual in Nomenus is using his power of position to enact his personal vendetta against me. Hardly in keeping with Harry Hay's vision of a circle of loving companions.
When I was a member, every month I would check in to see if we got any notices from the State board of forestry over impending logging actions on the state lands backing the Sanctuary, which by law must be sent out. Once I was pushed out, my concerns over logging were ignored, and we missed the comment period, which is the best time to block potential logging. If enough complaints are sent in, the sale gets shelved as too costly, and the state then moves on to the next parcel, as the goal is to raise revenues from state lands.
I was pushed out, blocked from posting information how to block this logging, and now we are facing chain logging on the hillside above our meadow. Chain logging is of the worst kind, all lesser trees in the way are removed, the money trees cut, fitted with chains, then dragged up the hillside, ripping open the earth to future erosion.
It seems when men do take control, beautiful things get raped and cut apart for booty.
Nomenus has failed,
both me,
as a Gay man and organization founder,
and now the Sanctuary....
Nomenus today is about power,
and exercise of male position.
As a Nomenus founder,
now experiencing the treatment given my sisters,
I am seeing this through their eyes.
