->  MG> Stan Hardegree, a point off of Dale Ross announced that Dale Ross had
->  MG> removed POL_INC from his system because POL_INC did not ban Wayne
->  MG> Chirnside.

-> I'll be darned. I just telnetted to Dale's system, looked into POL_INC and
-> lo and behold, a message dated October 4, 2002 from Wayne Churnside to
-> Mimi Gallant (sp) was posted in the echo.

->  MG>   Wayne Chirnside made no threats in POL_INC.  Stan posted
->  MG> his fear that Dale Ross would remove POLITICS if that echo harboured
->  MG> him.

-> Obviously, Stan is full of it, as POL_INC and Wayne Chirnside are still
-> there on Dale's system.

A few quick facts:

On Oct. 1, Ceppa posted this:  "If you are a downlink or a user of
1:379, please look for another feed if you want to continue to access
this Echo.  It appears that the "Mail Mover" for that link is deciding
to not move the mail between us."  This apparently stemmed from Dale
Ross saying on his BBS that THAT BBS may be dropping Ceppa's echo at
some point, since it is a redundant echo. Each reader can speculate on
the possible motives for Ceppa's reaction.

Michael (co-mod of the redundant echo) inaccurately paraphrased the
comment by Stan Hardegree.  Again, you can feel free to speculate on the
motive.  What he actually said was that he doesn't KNOW why, and he
speculated that the serious matter of fido-transmitted death threats
might be a possible reason.

The most interesting comment concerning the handling of the threat
situation was made in an echo of which I am co-moderator.  The name is
fake, but the point is indicated.  He takes the very position that
Michael attacks when he imagines it elsewhere.

"Yeah, well it won't wash anymore.  You are nothing but a whining
imbecile, and you should just turn the computer off.

I'll be forwarding your threat to the proper authorties myself.

There is NO excuse for what you've done, and all your aches and pains
don't forgive you for it.

You are an imbecile.  You don't deserve access to this hobby.

Go away, forever.  And get help.


Bye bye!
