Ärende: What kind of nonsense is this?

Bill McGarrity -> Lee Lofaso brought next idea :

This was written by Tim Richardson to Björn Felten on 4-1-2015,
in the Fidonews echo, from Docsplace BBS.  Ross Cassell had Ed Koon
cut Tim Richardson's feed shortly thereafter.  Enjoy -

BF>>BTW, if Janis had even a gram of decency in her body, she'd have
BF>told you to stop this criminal slander a long time ago.


BF>>But she hasn't. What does that tell us all...


RC>What does allowing a child molester to post from your system say
RC>about you?


BF>By the way, how come not a single one of the participants here
BF>objects to Ross' constant accusing of Lee like this?


I and Lee have not always gotten along...in fact we've exchanged some
pretty harsh words in the past.


But almost the first time Cassell posted that un-proven accusation, I
have pointed out the fact that he deliberately accuses Lee of a serious
criminal act, but has offered not a single proven piece of evidence that
it is true.


BF>I can understand that the non-Z1 sysops have given up trying to
BF>influence what goes on in Z1. But is there not even a single Z1
BF>participant that thinks this behaviour of Ross is unacceptable?
BF>After all, his slander campaign has been going on for years!


And I have more than once pointed out that, were it someone Cassell
has any sway over by virtue of his `high muckety-muckness' in Fido,
he'd go to their SYSOP behind their back and demand their feed to
`his' echo be cut!


He does not, however, hold himself to the same rules he enforces
against others. His `feet of clay' have almost become his trademark.

                   -=end of quote=-

The editor/moderator of this echo (Björn Felten) has publicly stated
several times that Tim Richardson is welcome to send and receive
messages in this forum.  Björn Felten has also welcomed Tim Richardson
to use his board in so doing, if that is his desire.

Who is to blame for Tim Richardson's lack of access to the Fidonews
echo?  Ross Cassell.  One can say it is Ed Koon who is to blame, but
Ed is nothing more than a scapegoat for Ross.  A convenience for Ross
to say his own hands are clean.

Ed Koon claims that Ross Cassell had nothing to do with it.  Ed Koon
claims that Tim Richardson wrote a very nasty email/netmail that was
unforgiveable, and as a result chose to cut him off entirely from his
board.

However, when challenged to produce that very nasty email/netmail,
Ed Koon couldn't do it.  Why not?  Because no nasty email/netmail ever
existed.

Amazing, isn't it?  When challenged to put up or shut up, "Doc" was
left totally speechless.

Have a day.
