FDMA Fundamental Faults

A democratic forum developed through mutual trade, art interest. This was used to promote a self elected leadership under false claims. No fault could be blamed if a suggestion to a link to construct a seperate forum. This did not happen. One piece of spam through a posting by John Beer advertised a gambling site. This was nothing like as insidious as using the forum as a vehicle for a self elected body to promote thier ideas. Forum members were led to believe that they would be excommunicated or side ligned were the not to take part in this coup. The DMOU forum includes many from the original crafts revival of the 1970s. The FDMA is a self appointed constitution of second generation makers seeking to promote themselves as leaders. All they offer already exists bar hier self interest. A large proportion of the DMOU forum are young and flattered to be seen alongside the more established makers. Thier blood will be used to promote the self appointed parliament. Thier misake lies in the belief that association with the fading second genertion will bring them reward or respect. The truth is the new young work stands a better chance away from this period. Things are changing. Great new work was selected to be shown at London Design Week. The FDMA seeks to gain attention from the first successful bunch and the new faces breaking through. This middle generation failed to make any cultural impact. Do you want them as leaders?
