Ärende: Too bad you got the wrong person.

Hello Robert,

We have only your word for that haven't we?

In the unlikely event that you find out, there is nothing you can do.

Perhaps you should have read the AUP and abided by it.  Failure to read the
agreement is not the fault of the provider, but the fault of the person that
just clicked "I Agree" without reading the terms and conditions.

Sounds familiar?

Now to address the "snitch." remark.  Unfortunately, this is a case where the
attitude of the person snitched on, caused his own downfall. You see, you have
been acting far too arrogant of late.  You have been acting as you are above
everyone else -- more specifically, your bias against Björn, Ward and others
outside Zone 1. You acted as if you were blameless in all things, when, in
fact, you are quite accountable for the attitudes displayed in here and
FN_SYSOP.

When one acts as snotty as you have - taunting others and snubbing your nose at
them, you cannot possibly be held innocent of any repercussions.

It is sad that it came to this, but I can honestly say that had you acted a
little more respectfulk towards others, and a lot less arrogant against members
of this hobby from other zones, then it is unlikely this event would have
transpired.

However, that you pressed the buttons as much as you could and taunted certain
people with his "I'm superior" attitude, you cannot be held blameless for the
backlash.

I think there is a lesson here for all of us.  I wonder how many people are
willing to see it.

Learned your lesson now?

 RC> I guess I got more than Björn did.

You got what you deserved with your snotty self rightious attitiude. We may be
Eurotrash pacifist pussies but there is a limit to turning the other cheeck.
You finally pissed off someone bad enough to make him shoot back.

You may not have been the one who snitched on Björn, but you /did/ ride in the
front row with the gang that wanted to bring him down at all cost. Plus that
you were riding the moral high ground on the copyright issue. You were very
quick to accuse people of robbing the copyright holders. Now it turns out you
were doing the same thing. You rob your ISP out of the money you owe him for
taking an account that allows you to run servers.

I am sorry you lost your account - it wasn't me you turned you in - but you
have only yourself to blame. Your own words.
    
And in case anyone gets ideas: My ISP allows me to run servers.
 

Cheers, Michiel
