[PLUG] Problems on plug-talk...

[Rogan Creswick]

My sincere apologies for responding to PLUG-proper, but I feel that
since Mr. Robinson has brought the discussion here, *this* list needs
at least an inkling of what has been going on on PLUG-TALK.

This will be my only post to this list on this topic.  Any replies I
make to subsequent comments will be done privately.

You have been asked numerous times to stop ridiculing people of
different faiths, sexual orientations, and those with eating
preferences (amongst others, I'm sure.  That's all I remember
off-hand). Never have you given any indication that you will even
consider conceding to these wishes, yet you demand it of us.

You've stated that you want the right to kill the president of the
united states, and his family.

You have also caused many people to leave the mailing list, and your
'discussions' have constituted the bulk of the traffic for the last 2+
months.

You have gone far, far over the line in your discussions on PLUG-TALK,
but the community as a whole has not (apparently) rallied enough to
use technological solutions to remove you from that list.

I am one of the people who left that list to get away from your
bigoted discussions and dismissals, and now you are using the
*on-topic* list to try and gain leverage, and "fight back" or "go
after" someone on the talk list?

If you want advice about libel/slander issues, go to a forum
appropriate for that -- or get a lawyer.  This is *not* the place for
your complaints, particularly given your treatment of others in
PLUG-TALK.
