Mutiny Open Letter to Maritime Group and @Marius Popa

A Seafarer Adrift on the Digital Seas - A Tale of Nautical Nonsense

Ahoy, LinkedIn Landlubbers and Seafaring Scallywags,

Today, as the sun shines on the International Day of the Seafarer, I find myself not on the open ocean, but cast away on a deserted digital island. Yes, me hearties, Capt Anil Kumar Sharma - seasoned mariner, teller of tall tales, and curator of the 'Logistics Lighthouse' newsletter - has been unceremoniously jettisoned from the Maritime Group on LinkedIn! It's like barring a fish from the ocean, or worse, a seaman from his beloved rum!

For those unfamiliar with my sea yarns, I've been known to spin a tale or two about the briny deep, aiming to educate with a dash of humor, like a friendly dolphin doing flips for fish. But it seems my recent posts have capsized someone's ship, leading to my walking the digital plank.

Now, I respect the helm holders of the group, the administrators who navigate through the stormy seas of spam and irrelevance. But I find it hard to fathom why sharing tales of our oceanic odyssey and spreading a bit of maritime merriment would result in my being cast adrift.

To me, it feels like being caught in a squall of digital apartheid and digital racism - a storm that's arrived on a day meant for celebrating seafarers, no less! It's like being handed a lifejacket with a hole in it.

To our esteemed group administrator, Mr. Marius Popa, I implore you to reconsider this course. Is there not room on the high seas for a little laughter among the serious discussions? A ship sails smoother with a happy crew, after all.

This open letter is not a cannonball of resentment, but a message in a bottle, adrift on the digital ocean, seeking a shore of understanding and unity. Let's hoist the flag of inclusivity and mutual respect, making sure no seafarer feels barred from the sea, physical or digital.

So, as we raise our glasses to the International Day of the Seafarer, let's toast to a culture of acceptance, both on the waves of the sea and the currents of the internet. After all, a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor!

If you're reading this and can relate to or support my digital rant, I encourage you to repost this message and help make our digital sea a more welcoming place for all mariners. Let's raise our voices together against digital apartheid and digital racism.

Thank you for not making me walk the plank alone.

Yours in maritime mirth,

Capt Anil Kumar Sharma #MaritimeGroup On Linkedin and Marius Popa
