[Foundation-l] Movement roles letter, Feb 2012

[Béria Lima]

No I will not apologize for act according with my culture.

If Mister de Vreede has a problem with people from different cultures he
shouldn't be part of a international movement.

(And besides if someone would complain about misspelling, the Russians,
Arabs, Japanese and Indians should be the ones since no one here can even
write their real names in the original languages)
