• Disconnect from HOLYSMOKE echo

    From Steve Asher@3:800/432 to All on Friday, May 01, 2009 00:29:41
    It is possible that I will be leaving FidoNet soon, should my
    feed to the Holysmoke echo be cut. I have left a message for
    a possible replacement Moderator for this echo, should I be
    gone quickly. Again, I refuse to be lied about or stood over
    by the moderators of the Holysmoke echo, and have plenty of
    "anti-jihad" and similar blogs to read and post in, should
    the feed cut take place.

    All the best, and I trust that my successor will moderate
    this echo fairly and impartially (not that it has needed
    much moderation during my tenure).

    Regards, Steve A.

    The following is my reply to Malcolm Miles in response to a
    request by Ross Cassell to cut my feed to the HOLYSMOKE echo.

    Let the dice fall where they may.

    ===================================================================

    I do not believe that my feed should be removed to that echo, for
    the following reasons:

    I was not an active participant when the co-moderator of the echo
    posted several messages containing many lies and defamation against
    me, claiming that I had "pre-banned" users or banned users in the
    Edge_Online echo when I became moderator after Steve Quarrella
    deleted it in the late 1990s.

    As I and another user pointed out, I at no time banned, pre-banned
    or threatened to ban any person for any reason. It is not my style.

    I expect an apology and retraction of all lies and defamation by
    Dan Ceppa against me, or for Ross Cassell to remove him as co-moderator.

    If that happens, I will place the echo on pass-through, and have nothing further to do with it.

    If my feed to that echo is cut, please cut my feed to all echo and file
    areas at the same time. My involvement with FidoNet in general and Net
    800 in particular will cease, and I will have nothing further to do with
    it.

    I refuse to be lied about by Dan Ceppa and stood over by Ross Cassell.

    Cheers, Steve..

    Maybe Lee really was right about him being someone else.

    Dan Ceppa against me, or for Ross Cassell to remove him as co-moderator.

    The former is not likely, the latter would be welcomed.


    I refuse to be lied about...

    If you find a way to make that refusal effective, I'd like to know about
    it...
    I live with it knowing that they have to live with it.

    Cheers...

    Mulling over JOHNJWILSON to STEVE ASHER 30 Apr 2009

    Dan Ceppa against me, or for Ross Cassell to remove him as co-moderator.

    The current status is that my uplink did not cut the feed, so I remain
    in FidoNet, with Holysmoke still linked, but the feed has been cut
    to my uplink, so I am linked, but isolated. Anyway, in a day or 2
    I place Holysmoke on passthrough here & have no further interest
    in posting in it.

    I refuse to be lied about...

    If you find a way to make that refusal effective, I'd like to know
    about it...
    I live with it knowing that they have to live with it.

    That is effectively what will happen.

    Steve.

    Will we still be seeing you here? I hope not.
