Hello Martin,

>CS>Your innacuracy was extreme and you owe Ross Cassell an apology.

>LL>The issue is ROSS CASSELL'S abuse of power.
>LL>Martin nailed it.
>LL>You don't like it.
>LL>Tough shit.

>RC>Tell us about the moon landings boy.

MA>Explain this Cassell.

MA>________________________________________________________________

MA>"I have **TEMPORARILY** unlinked you from the FIDONEWS echo.

MA>Frank Scheidt, Lee Lofaso, Wayne Chirnside and Bob Klahn

Perhaps Ross would prefer to "explain" why he posted a private
netmail in the LINUX echo.

Or perhaps not.

"You do know what private means don't you? (none of your business...)"
- Shannon Talley

MA>Have all come into the FIDONEWS echo and are trying to turn it into just
MA>another political discussion echo, on par with POL_INC, POLITICS and the
MA>ilk.

Let's compare Ross' words with those of Shannon Talley -

"Although much of this echo is really off topic from Fidonews, I do take
exception to political rants and trolling.  This is an international
echo, and U.S. political rants and trolling have their place in their
own perspective echos." - Shannon Talley

I suppose that Roy Witt's words of wisdom are not political rants or
trolling.  And I suppose that Shannon Talley's words of wisdom are not
political rants or trolling.  Although she does seen to take offense
at wishing atheists peace on earth and good will.

"Perhaps you view this as an `abuse' of power, but I do not.  Fidonews
is not a political echo and these guys [FS, LL, WC and BK] had attempted
to carry over issues from other political echos into this echo.  It's
bad enough as it is, but it with their inappropriate participation, it
was headed for disaster."
- Shannon Talley

If only Saddam Hussein were around to appreciate such words of wisdom.

I wonder just what constitutes "inappropriate participation"?
In Saddam's world, Shiites were not allowed to participate.  And
neither were Kurds.  In fact, some of them were gassed to death.
In fact, anybody who disagreed with Saddam or his regime was
simply picked up never to be seen again.

"...the echo is in better shape as a result of this necessary action."
- Shannon Talley

Gee.  Saddam said much the same thing after Kurds were gassed.

MA>I was in receipt of a moderator message from the moderator of FIDONEWS,
MA>asking you to cut Waynes access to the echo, the request was made in
MA>netmail

Gee.  Is that a lie by Ross?  Let's see -

"I never ordered a `cut' -- I had asked his SYSOP to curb
his political rants."
- Shannon Talley

Well, somebody is lying.  That is a certainty.

MA>and to the best of my knowledge you have not read it, Wayne is still in
MA>there, and he today is taking message replies from political echoes and
MA>forwarding them into FIDONEWS, which is out of bounds..

MA>Please make the FIDONEWS echo sysop security on your system.

MA>Please let me know when you have done so or have made it so users not of
MA>sysop security cannot post in the echo.

So it was not limited to Wayne Chirnside.  It was not limited to Frank
Scheidt.  It was not limited to Lee Lofaso.  It was not limited to Bob
Klahn.

MA>Ross Cassell"

Well, we know who the chief liar of fido is now.
Signed, sealed and delivered by Ross Cassell himself.  :)
