Ärende: Censoring Echomail
==========================
Lee Lofaso -> All formulated the question :

http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww260/Jerry_Pitts/stir.gif

 LL> It has been reported by Ward Dossche that a sysop known
 LL> as Black Hole Bob is censoring echomail.  The self-appointed
 LL> Z1C (Janis Kracht) claims it is not censorship, but rather an
 LL> act of free choice.  Not quite sure how she came up with that
 LL> logic, but it gets weirder.  Another sysop took the libery
 LL> to chime in with his own thoughts on the matter, claiming to
 LL> have done the very same thing that Black Hole Bob is doing.
 LL> Here is what that sysop had to say -

 LL> Subject: link
 LL> Date: Wed Apr 27 2016 05:32 pm
 LL> From: Ross Cassell
 LL> To: Bob Seaborn

 LL> Bob Seaborn -> Ross Cassell submitted this idea :

 >>> Bob Seaborn -> All but drumhead was thinking very hard :

 BS>>>> If anyone wishes a link that effectively filters out any
 BS>>>> message from drumhead in this echo, so you don't see any
 BS>>>> of the drivel he spouts, please get hold of me privately.

 >>> Really??

 >>> You are joking right?

 BS>> Not at all, I am sick and tired about that idiot babbling
 BS>> endlessly about his invalid version of naming countries and
 BS>> outright mistruths, and feel this might be the easiest way
 BS>> to make him disappear.  So far I've had over a half-dozen
 BS>> requests for this feed.

 BS>> Basically, it's an electronic equivalent of the Amish shunning
 BS>> process.

 LL> We made a huge mistake 5 years ago, I know I was a huge part of
 LL> that, it should be a teaching/learning process. You openly advertise
 LL> to pre-filter a message echo, even if you have people who signed up,
 LL> and you are dividing it into 2 feeds, casts a huge shadow over your
 LL> credibility. Alot of aspersions have been thrown at you, I cannot
 LL> speak to the validity of them, but this certainly does not help you.

 LL>                        -=end quote=-

 LL> Tim Richardson, a non-sysop participant in various Fidonet echoes,
 LL> claims that Ross Cassell continues to censor Fidonet, by refusing to
 LL> allow him and others to participate in the Fidonews echo.  According
 LL> to Tim Richardson, that sysop is in the same position as Ed Koon,
 LL> being forced to play according to the rules of Ross Cassell.  And
 LL> given that Ross Cassell has the full blessing of Janis Kracht, that
 LL> makes it a conspiracy.  Unnerstan'?

 LL> So, let's test this little theory of Tim Richardson and see if he
 LL> is right, or if he is off his rocker -

 LL> Will you kindly turn on the faucet to the Fidonews echo for Tim
 LL> Richardson so that he can play with everybody else?  Thank you for
 LL> your cooperation, Mr. C. G. Learn (sysop).
