Hello Shannon,

>LL>Asking Ed Koon to cut (or curb, in your words) Wayne's access to
>LL>Fidonews, without citing just reason or cause, shows how dishonest

ST>I didn't ask Ed to CURB his access Lee.

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

ST>Quit trying to distort the actual message!  I asked him to "Curb" him
ST>in regards to his political rants he was posting!

A "curb" and a "cut" can easily be interpreted by a sysop to mean one
and the same thing - A CUT TO A PARTICIPANT'S ACCESS.

ST>That didn't mean "CUT" his access,

It could very easily be interpreted by a sysop to mean just that -
A CUT TO A PARTICIPANT'S ACCESS.

ST>it stated exactly what it meant.

Which could very easily be interpreted by a sysop to mean A CUT TO A
PARTICIPANT'S ACCESS.

ST>He was to talk to Wayne... I knew he had a repartee with Wayne and I
ST>thought he might be able to reason with him.

Asking a sysop "to curb his political rants", without specifying exactly
how to do so, can easily be interpreted by a sysop to mean A CUT TO A
PARTICIPANT'S ACCESS.

>LL>A temporary ban.  Hmmm.  How "temporary" might that be?  One day?
>LL>One week?  One month?  One year?  One decade?  One century?  Please
>LL>tell...

ST>That's none of your business Lee, that's a private concern between Wayne
ST>and I, and that is very inappropriate for you to ask such a thing.

The Patriot Act was also passed on the false premise of it being
a "temporary" measure.  Well, we have seen just how "temporary" The
Patriot Act has been.

ST>Did you read your Rules and Terms of Service when you signed up at FidoTel ?

I am sure I did.  Otherwise I would not have been granted access.
In any event, you do run a fine bbs, which many have enjoyed, including
myself.

ST>Have you violated them?

Like updating the elist? <evil grin>

All jokes aside, every bbs should have a rules and terms of service,
not just yours.  Thank you for running a very good bbs.  Really.  It
is very much appreciated by all.

>LL>I am sure that Bj"rn Felten would love to hand over the editorship
>LL>of the snooze to you.  After all, Bj"rn enjoys a good bellylaugh.

ST>Then you shouldn't have asked.... I'd do a better job then He would --
ST>that's for damn sure...!

Maybe you would.  In fact, it would be kinda nice to have the editor
be limited to serving a two-year term, rather than an unlimited term.
At the end of two years, another editor could take over.  At the end
of another two years, a previous editor could regain the editorship.
Perhaps a rotating Z1/Z2/Z3/Z4/Z5/Z6 editor post should be created.
Whattaya think?
