=============================================
Hello Michiel,

 NK>> Once again it is the same argument over and over again, I
 NK>> would hope by now that those few who support me and those
 NK>> few who do not

MVDV>It is not a "few" that do not support you. It is almost all
MVDV>of Z2 and all of Z3 that do not support you.

Nick has the full support of the NAB/Troika.
And that is all that counts.
Even if nobody else supports him, it matters not.

 NK>> can simply let it go.

 MvdV> No way José. I will not shut up, I will not roll over and submit.

Submit to what?  A minority of three?  Nick did.  And look what
it got him.  Wouldn't you like to be where Nick is now?  Having your
very own newsletter, with readers from around the world, all praising
your name?  While it might be too late to be the editor of the NAB's
rag, the NAB could always start publishing a new rag.  Just for you.
With yourself as their unwitting editor.  So whattaya say?  Pavlov
will be sure to give you a bone...

 NK>> I was asked to be the editor for this publication,

 MvdV> The position was not vacant.

Sure it was.  It's the NAB's local rag.

 MvdV> The FidoNews Editor is Björn Felten of 2:2/2.

The FidoNews is published by the entire FidoNet community.
The NAB's local rag is published by a local BBS, and is not
affiliated with FidoNet.

 MvdV> He did not die, he did not resign, nor did he go AWAOL.

I should hope not.

 MvdV> Those who asked you knew that and they knew they had no authority to
replace
 MvdV> the FidoNews Editor.

The NAB had all the authority in the world to start their own local
rag.  However, do note their local rag is not affiliated with FidoNet
or the FidoNet community.

 MvdV> They were trying to set matters to their hand by right of might.

The NAB is clearly trying to deceive others into believing a lie.

 MvdV> By now you should be aware of that too.

Everybody knows that.  Or should.

 NK>> and I will continue to do so.

 MvdV> Then you will continue to be confronted with the fact that you are not
the
 MvdV> FidoNews Editor, that you are an usurper and the puppet of the Troika.

Nick can believe whatever he wants to believe.  Even if none of what
he believes happens to be true.  But the facts remain what they are.

 NK>> If there comes a time when I am asked to step down by a majority,

 MvdV> Then on behalf of that 7/8 majority, I ask you to step down.

Step down from what?  Editor of a publication on a local rag that
is supported by three people?  You give the NAB far more credit than
they deserve...

 NK>> As time continues outside of fidonet, I find myself with a
 NK>> lack of content.

 MvdV> What did you expect?

A plethora of articles from da internet.

 NK>> If you would like to see an article on a specific subject,

 MvdV> I would like to see an article where you confess to being an usurper,
where
 MvdV> you confess to be the Puppet of the Troika and where you announce that
you
 MvdV> have seen the error of your ways. Yes, I would like to see such an
article
 MvdV> in FidoNews. You can send it to the Editor at 2:2/2, I am sure Björn
will
 MvdV> be happy to publish it.

In his own words?  Do you think he is capable?  Maybe you should
write it for him, post it on your web site, and let him cut & paste
it in the FIDONEWS, while letting him take credit for writing the
piece.
