Hello Jeff,

On Monday December 17 2007 22:54, you wrote to me:

 MV>> No, to the extend that you only respond to perceived insults
 MV>> coming from this side of the pond.

 JS>      Could there be a rather obvious reason for that?

The reason is painfully obvious. You want Björn out of the editor seat and so
you watch his every move and jump on everything that you think you can use to
semar him in your crusade.

 MV>> Then why the "f" word?

 JS>      Probably because some are more prone to the use of the word than
 JS> others. I took it that Ross was trying to emphasize the fact that
 JS> Diana paid with her life. As in "She paid with her "F'ing" life.

I am sure there is an explanation for everything Jeff. You can eraseon away
everything yo your advantage, but the fatct is that actions speak louder than
words.

 JS>    In this case I did not take Ross's use of the word as derogatory
 JS> towards Diana or anyone else. Did he need to use the "F" word? Of
 JS> course not. But then again niether does Björn. Who has used the same
 JS> word on many occasions here in both insulting and non-insulting ways.

Point is you jumped on Björn and not on Ross. And it is not incidental, it is
systematic. You never respond to insults offered by Ross, Roy, Phil or anyone
else your side of the pond. But you jump of Björn on every possible occasion.
It is all too obvious.

 JS>      Same old line Michiel. You label me whatever is necessary to try

 JS> selective about it Michiel.

Your actions do not match your words.

 MV>> It does not matter who I think is moderator. What matters is that
 MV>> *Ross* believes he is the moderator here, Therefore he should
 MV>> also be subject to your rule that the moderator should lead by
 MV>> example.

 JS>      Now that's funny. Your story changes from when Björn was being
 JS> asked to lead by example.

Not at all. I never said a moerator shpuld lead by example and i am not saying
it now. It uis *you* that said that and so I expect *you* to apply that rule
equally weel to whoever takes the moral high ground and claims to be moderator.

 JS> When was the last time you asked Björn who claims to be the only
 JS> moderator here to not break his own rules that he expects everyone
 JS> else to follow?

I never did. And I do not think I ever asked Ross.

 JS>     If there were two equal co-moderators here in this echo then the
 JS> rules should apply to both equally. But we both know that isn't the
 JS> case. We have one moderator here who operates by his own set of rules.

No, we have two moderators bith claiming to be tne and only.

 JS>      Only because you NEED me to be. In reality the vast majority of
 JS> my posts are responses and not attacks. People react to Björn and his
 JS> insults, and his expressions of dislike and hatred. Isn't it time to
 JS> take off the blinders Michiel ?

I have done that long ago. And what I see is someone saying one thing and doing
something else. You selectively respond to Björn and ignore others who do the
same or worse.


Cheers, Michiel
