Hello Gary/Everybody,

Geez, that was the crappiest post
I have read in a long, long time!

But upon further analysis, there
is a hidden part that Gary Perkins
conveniently left out.  Whether he
did so by accident or by design
matters not.  The point is, there
is a hidden truth.

The "troika" got rid of Gary Perkins.
Gary was their pawn.  Now the "troika"
is in search of another pawn.

I wonder who put Gary Perkins up to
posting the tripe below?  Which member
of the "troika" put him up to it?  Was
it Ross Cassell?  Was it Janis Kracht?
Was it Bob Seaborn?  None of them are
saying.

I never expected any member of the
"troika" to be honest.  About anything.
As such, I do not expect Gary Perkins
to reveal the real reason as to why
he is leaving fidonet.

If Gary Perkins wishes to rejoin the
fidonet community, he is very welcome
to do so.  But it will be on our terms.
Not Ross Cassell's terms.  Not Janis
Kracht's terms.  Not Bob Seaborn's terms.

You want to be a man, Gary Perkins?
Apologize to the fidonet community, and
stand up to the "troika" that threw you
out.

The fidonews is published by the fidonet
community.  NOT by Ross Cassell.  NOT by
Janis Kracht.  NOT by Bob Seaborn.  You
are, and have been, the editor of NOTHING.

Yes, you were duped by the "troika", who
led you to believe you really were somebody.
Yes, you should have known better than to
listen to them.  But that's okay.  There
is another voice in the wilderness who
is calling your name, even telling you the
words you should be saying -

"I AM SOMEBODY!" - Rev. Jesse Jackson

Rev. Jackson said those words to a national
audience, televised in living rooms everywhere.
It was part of his speech at the Democratic
National Convention, as Jackson was a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for president.
That was in 1984.  The Democrats then made the
mistake of nominating Walter Mondale rather
than Jesse Jackson.  We all know what happened
next.

Let the "troika" continue to be the nobodies
they have always been.  Time for you to move
on to better things.  Like being SOMEBODY!
