And Tony Sidaway is the person who posed as a female (sherilyn(a)demon.net) who started this whole thing by sending complaints to my providers trying to nuke my accounts--HE taught me how to do it because my provider (Earthlink.net) sent me a copy of the complaint. I then retailiated in kind (killing at least 100 accounts in the process) and we have been at this for 9 years because of him and his bright idea to try to make someone more intelligent and capable than he, look like a "kook." I still (as you can see) have that original Earthlink account, because my provider saw what was happening to me and stood by me. I have been really disappointed in not only his behavior, but the ruination of such a potentially valuable tool such as usenet for sharing ideas across the world. It has driven everyone into moderated groups where one is at the mercy of less than objective or fair moderation. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Sidaway <minorityreport(a)bluebottle.com> Sent: May 5, 2005 1:04 PM To: wikien-l(a)Wikipedia.org Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] Abuse of your services David DJ Hedley said: There used to be an [[Edmond Wollmann]] article, created back in early January. I cleaned it up to get the worst POV crap out, then supported a VfD which was successful. I'm sympathetic to the idea of removing the reference from the [[Alt.usenet.kooks]] article because it is not essential to the article and, frankly, any kookiness Edmond may ever have possessed is more than matched by others. I speak as the person who first nominated him for KOTM in 1998. However anything of this kind removed from the article would likely be restored within minutes. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l Edmond H.
