Well of course. As I've said you've a pretty straight forward
agenda. It was right in your own back yard--was being posted
daily for weeks with many assorted followups--no way you
and your fellow despammers can claim with any credibility that
you didn't see it.

Keep in mind however that we differ on another element of all
of this. I think it would be wrong for example to prevent Hannigan
from spamming the FAQ--you in theory should have been opposed
to it and canceled them.

:And Marty stopped when we asked.

Well Martin Hannigan is a long term veteran of the net and
works in the industry as well (Bose, Firefly, TIAC, and now
XCOM if they're not in backruptcy yet). He certainly knew
it was spamming and he knew also he had your blessing. You
didn't do anything until the inconsistency was publically made
to you.

Completely untrue. Please post your substantiation of
the charge you made that I was impersonating another on
the telephone. This one's important Lewis--I'm going to
post your exact quote along with the entire article
accusing me of this on a regular basis (not to exceed
the BI) until you substantiate this.

Chris Lewis did not visit your house. However, several other
people delivered that can of Canadian spam to your front door on
Chris Lewis's behalf.

Never got it. Just for the record Ron are you claiming that
Lewis never stated he came to my front door--he posted it all
over the ne.* groups and you were his official host. One local
Boston area reporter sure noticed his claim and contacted me
about via email about it so it'll be interesting to note your
reply.

Still waiting for Mr. Lewis to substantiate his recent public
allegation that I impersonated another on the telephone trying
to get him in trouble for stealing. Of course Lewis is a forger
and forgers are by their very nature liars. Reading his recent
set of posts it's actually amusing to think some ISPs actually
work in cooperation with such a person--not what you'd call
leadership material.

And then of course he's now declared that the alt heirarchy
is dead simply because he has no control over it and on the
same token we've got the cabal's Jan Isley--the guy who used
to be a Big Eight vote counter until caught red handed riggeing
votes, stating he now disagrees with current Big Eight group
creation policies and is considering not honoring their
voting results on behalf of Mindspring (one of the most
filtered feeds in the US). The crumbling of the cabal.

Personally, I don't remember whether Chris did or didn't state this.
If you claim he did, then post the message in question here.

I'm sorry you didn't find the spam can. The people who delivered
it rang your doorbell several times. When nobody answered, we left
the can on the porch near your front door.

It is rather amazing isn't it. Ron is part of the Boston area

with another overweight thug directly to the offices of thecia.net
demanding that another users plug be pulled--according to
the staff on duty their intent was to intimidate.

You mean, like the Vulis and Grubor threats about a price being
on my head circulating in Freedom Knights? You want a Cybergang,
peruse Freedom Knights where you see almost all of the kooks
virtually wetting themselves in their frenzied hatred of me.

More sad than anything else. I'd suggest you guys get a life, but,
obviously, you're too far gone for that.

One behavior does not justify the other, either way. Why do you
not deal with the mote in your own eye before pointing out the

He cannot substantiate the charges, Steve. Therefore, this thread could

Defending myself from unsubstantiated allegations, dealing with
attempts to get me in trouble with the law, and attempts to trick
someone into killing me and my family is hardly unjustified behaviour.

You're so quick to condemn me and others, and nary a peep about your
buddy's behaviour that proves itself daily in your own mailbox, on
mailing lists that you supply. I don't think there's any question

You misrepresent the question. The "Freedom Knights" are not an
organization, and certainly not a "gang" of any sort. This is
a fact you would have known if you had read the FAQ carefully.

In a similar vein, just because someone claims to be a Freedom
Knight, doesn't mean that they are (again, read the FAQ).

Further, just because people are on a mailing list does not mean
they are part of any sort of organization.

Finally, I am not a part of -any- hooligan gang. Period.

Uh, did you mean "unjustified"? :)

You missed the point. Let me express it another way. If someone
hits you, and you hit them back, it is often considered the fault
of both people. It then stands to reason that if you don't like being
hit, perhaps you should not hit others as well?

You have pissed off lots of people you brand as "spammers". So when
people brand you as <evil description> why are you surprised? I'm not
surprised at all when they brand me a kook, and my only "crime" is not
supporting the party line.

Further, I'd say the allegations you have there are quite unsubstantiated.
"Attempts to trick someone into killing you and your family"? Over
something that happened on USENET? I have a difficult time believing that
one.

Nasrudin found a weary falcon sitting one day on his window-sill. He'd never
seen a bird of this kind before. "You poor thing," he said, "how ever were
you allowed to get into this state?" He clipped the falcon's talons, cut its
beak straight, and trimmed its feathers. "Now you look more like a bird."

Hey, enjoy your plausible denyability.

There's no such group as "cypherpunks", either. ;-)

Care to tell everyone officially what you think

The analogy fails because I've never "hit" anyone in retaliation. Nor
mailbombed. Nor threatened someone's life. Nor impersonated someone to
get someone else in trouble with the law. Nor posted people's home
phone numbers.

"There's a $50,000 reward for the death of Chris Lewis" is a rather
long way from "evil description", doncha think? And a lot more likely
to have real world consequences.

Secondly, I don't "brand" Vulis, Boursy or the rest of you as spammers.

I can think of a few more, such as blatant hypocrisy, bad science,
and a wilful dismissal of evidence simply because you don't like the taste.

As you had with the story about the impersonations of John Bauer to
get me in trouble with the law, despite the fact that Boursy admits
to being involved with it. _You_ have seen the "reward"
posting several times, as well as Vulis opining that I and my
family should be killed.

You discard evidence simply because you don't like it. Simply
evidence of a closed mind.

Really Dave, more inconsistency. Are you ever going to practise what

You're very dishonest Mr. Lewis--a man of no integrity. You
keep repeating this absurd charge--I've admitted no such
involvement whatsoever and have been asking you over
and over again to publically substantiate it which you
continue to fail to do. You are not of leadership material,
have serious character flaws and no decent business would
ever consider being associated with you.

Now once again Mr. Lewis--please post your
substantiation of this charge because it is indeed
as you put it just a 'story'. We'll forward the
substantiation over to misc.legal for further
comment.

Of course I have substantiated it, several times. No-one would expect you
to admit it - you'd be admitting to have committed a criminal act. And
even you aren't that stupid.

We can only stand back and watch you lie with sheer awe - the chutzpah
about denying the existance of postings, you've replied to several times.

Rather than include that whole thing all over again, I'll just
reference the last time I posted it: <Erz3G...@ferret.ocunix.on.ca>.

Getting _you_ to admit to it is a lost cause. We know that. Let's
press on. Now it's your turn to substantiate the charges you made
about me.

But you'll probably ignore it, like the last couple of times I've emailed
and posted it to you. You are a worthless pathological liar who'll
make up whatever suits your fancy, aren't you?

Post your substantiation of the following allegations you made or tacitly
agreed with about me made in January of 1996 in <DL3o6...@world.std.com>,
<DLnyC...@world.std.com>, and <DLwFw...@world.std.com>.

1) Substantiate that I've ever visited Sun Microsystems at any time
for any purpose, let alone training as you claim.
2) Substantiate that I've ever been to Korea.
3) Substantiate that there were a number of "officials" waiting
to talk to me if I entered the US. (Whoops, sorry, been there
four times, done that, no "officials" interested in talking to
me at all).
4) Substantiate that you have my travel records to publish.
5) Substantiate that I have a cottage.
6) Substantiate that I have ever worked for AT&T, let alone was
fired by AT&T.
7) Substantiate that John Macdonald and/or Elegant was:
a) threatened with being sued about me.
b) has _ever_ been contacted about me.
8) Substantiate that I stay "holed up in [my] cottage for 3 days
at a time"
[god knows why you made this one up.]
9) Substantiate that Elegant has ever been under "continuous
surveillance".
10) Substantiate that I've been under investigation by the RCMP
at this or any other time.
11) Substantiate that I've ever been under investigation by any
police force for anything, except what you yourself instigated
by impersonating John Bauer.
12) Substantiate your claim that the Canadian Privacy Council thinks
I'm a bad boy. Note that you'll first have to substantiate that
there _is_ a Canadian Privacy Council. Hint: there isn't.
13) Substantiate that I'm John Milburn (in one posting you called
him GEM).
14) Substantiate Grubor's claim that I've been arrested or under
suspicion for molesting children, _any_ children, let alone
my own.
15) Substantiate that I live in Constance Bay.
16) Substantiate that I have a daughter.
17) Substantiate that the Ontario Provincial Police is the same
thing as the RCMP.

Excellent description of the control freak. Lewis
blathers about "catching people" in this or that
by ferreting through people's post until he comes
up with a seeming inconsistency such as most prolific
net writers fall into if they stay around long
enough. Then, Lewis plays his little "gotcha game".

Yet, Lewis' entire scene on the net has been one
thing only: to control other people. He blathers
about spammers, but usually where he has real conflicts
with people is in situations when someone Chris doesn't
like is posting to a half-dozen highly appropriate
newsgruops and saying things that Lewis and Co. don't
wish to hear.

And Lewis proves very inconsistent himself. He gave
himself away last year, when in one post he was
blathering about "boring" I am and how I have "no
opinions"; yet in another post he was going on about
staying up late at night trying to "get through"
my articles.

I mean, think about it. How many people reading
this stay up late at night struggling to get through
"boring articles" written by people "with no opinions."

It was very clear to me then that Lewis was up to something.
Just after that lots of my articles started disappearing
right and left. Now, I can't prove Lewis was responsible,
and I'll be the first one to admit that he likely knows
so much more about that kind of activity (it being his
life, and all) than I do I couldn't catch him if I wanted
to, but the whole affair remains very suspicious, based
on Lewis' own posted inconsistencies.

[I should add that my articles in question were posted
from to between three to eight appropriate newsgroups where
they fell directlly on topic; that's scarcely spamming,
so no one had the slightest justification for cancelling
them, other than simply not wishing readers to have an
opportunity to read my opinions.]

Yet here Lewis blathers on about catching Mr. Boursy (who
has been on the net for years and who has made a great many
posts) in some "inconsistencies". Well, Chris, let's
not forget about people who live in glass stones.

Yet, if I could ask Chris Lewis a question, it would
be this: "Exactly HOW MANY articles posted by others
have you used fraudulent means to cancel, simply
because the writer got your nose out of joint with
his or her opinions?"

As though "proof" from a master net-manipulator like Lewis
with no life outside of habitually tampering what belongs to
others means a whole lot!

I'll say this, Lewis. I would trust Mr. Boursy a damn
site farther than I would you! Steve's thing on the net
plainly involves fighting censorship and alerting readers
about very harmful "plans for us" that outsiders who know
nothing at all about the net are cooking up for everyone.
That's no "crime" on Steve's part, at least not YET, thank-
fully.

Mr. Boursy has made people aware of plenty of other poten-
tially harmful things too. Readers should stop and consider
this, in terms of "integrity": If you noticed some of YOUR
posts being cancelled, and you did some research, and somehow
the situation came down to one of two people doing the
cancelling, either Mr. Boursy or Mr. Lewis, which one
would you suspect? You KNOW who has the smelly reputation
for things like that: None other than Lewis The Usenet
Ferret.

THAT'S the key to the whole thing: Mr. Boursy has a reputation
for getting people's nose out of joint by being outspoken. Mr.
Lewis has made his "name" on the net by interferring with what
belongs to others. It's been proven again and again that Lewis'
schtick about fighting big time spammers is just a pretext to
interfere with people holding opinions Lewis and his pals don't
wish see disseminated. He and his crony Skirvin typify junior
grade control freaks who have made the net their little
playground...

I never claimed you did these things. Of course, I don't know that you
-haven't- done them. I'm only talking about what you do to spammers.
That's all I can see from here.

If you have no evidence either way that I "did these things", you
shouldn't be dismissing their actions making the assumption I did.

You either have evidence and you can draw conclusions from it, or you
don't and you can't draw any conclusions.

You're getting really ridiculous Dave.

Yes, I am "blatantly disobeying the RFCs", but in a socially acceptable manner.
And, -you- are "blatantly disobeying the RFCs" too. Some in a socially
acceptable fashion (The "NNTP-Posting-Host" is invalid according to RFC1036),
and some in a socially unacceptable fashion (You have forged Approval lines
in the past, which is something only you, Caputo, and your buddies on
FK appear to sanction).

I've never asserted the absolute primacy of an obsolete RFC, so don't
play games about it.

What anger? What does your perceived level of my "anger" compare to the
level of vituperation promulgated by your friends on Freedom Knights? Who
posts and mails article after article about "killing" someone? Who posts
and mails article after article about mailbombing someone? Who posts and
emails article after article about "killing POPs", "kicking ass", long
pornographic "poetry" supposedly written by me, forgeries of Nortel abuse
addresses, etc?

Not me Dave.

Come now Dave, talk about blatant misdirection.

- It has nothing to do whatsoever with what -I- believe about the
legitimacy or not of the reward (and of course I know that
Vulis would never pay up), and everything to do with what your
buddy Vulis manages to fool someone else into believing.

The police take it as a serious threat, regardless of whether
there really is a reward or not. As they should. As most
other people do.

- It wasn't just on Usenet. It was on Cypherpunks _and_
Freedom Knights in case you've forgotten.

Why would I want you to be? All I'm expecting from you, or from anyone else,
is the brains to understand that the level of harrassment from your buddies
is entirely out of proportion to what "I've done to them" - especially
since I've never "done anything to them".

You'll whine "but I have no evidence of that". Exactly Dave, so why
do you justify their actions?

Thanks for clearing that up.

You're getting a bit wild in your claims. Fact is,
Chris Lewis represents another shabby instance of
someone who hides behind a serious cause in order
to make some area of human endeavor his playpen.

Now, if all Chris Lewis was doing was trying to
get rid of big time commereical spam, I would
have no problem with him. Yet, in case after
case, he has attacked or otherwise interferred
with people who are "spammers" by no honest
stretch of an imagination.

Basically, if you post statements contrary to the
beliefs of Lewis and his pal Timmy Skirvin, your
posts are subject to begin disappearing from the
net like snowballs on a hot Death Valley summer day.

And of course, since pulling other people's posts is
all Lewis does, he has developed it into such a fine
art that for an ordinary person, such as me, with no
special expertise on the workings of the net, it is
almost impossible to catch him. Now, you might respect
Lewis' expertise, but lets not forget, the Unibomber had
"expertise" too!

Let's remember that the net was neither envisioned nor set
up as a medium for the Chris Lewises or the Tim Skirvins
to show to what extent they could control the opinions
of others.

In other words, a) the ONLY thing that Chris Lewis
has ever done involves canceling posts by big time
commercial spammers, and b) he has never canceled posts
or otherwise harassed any poster simply as a result of
the person's opinions. Is THAT what you are saying?

By who's standards of "shouldn't"?

Most importantly, why do I -have- to take -any- action here? I don't
know you, and I'd prefer not to get involved in a bunch of humans and
their private pissing match. :)

I've been doing a good job of not getting involved as it is.

I'm only going on what you folks claim. I can't verify any of the claims,

This happens all the time on Usenet. Why do you take it seriously?

No, you just forge cancel people trying to make money. Are you really so
naive to think this doesn't piss as many off as it makes feel righteous?

See, whether or not you think your actions are justified, this means nothing
to the people you piss off. Think of it this way, Dr Grubor and others who
post those articles think -their- actions are justified....this means
nothing to you. The same holds true the other way.

Why can't you see this?

Perhaps the police shouldn't. Too many things are said on Usenet that

Surprise surprise, but I can't draw that conclusion, because there's no
evidence either way.

And they aren't "my buddies". I've only talked to them on the phone, which
at the very least verifies their humanity. That's more than I can say for you.

Plus, Dr G. appears to be a nice guy. So does Dr Vulis.

I'm not justifying -their specific- actions. I'm saying "Chris, you piss people

some more?

No I did not. If you took it like that, that's your error, which I will
admit to being a party of. Go back and look at the original posts.
I did make an effort to say "appear" as much as I could.

Sometimes I make mistakes too.

Gee Boursy, not only are you trying the "dead parrot" [*] defence on
my substantiation of your impersonation of John Bauer, not only are
you failing to substantiate any of the far more numerous allegations
you've made about me, you even have to lie about this too. Or, have
you forgotten all of those email messages you've sent me over the years?

You're quite a despicable fellow, aren't you?

I take it very seriously when someone, who has no connection whatsoever
with me, an old and ill person, receives harrassing phone calls
about me in the middle of the night because Vulis published their
phone number in his NetScum page and encouraged people to phone it.

How does that explain Vulis posting death threats? Boursy impersonating
Bauer? I've never cancelled any articles from either of them. There's
even a posting somewhere back (during the previous moratorium) where
Vulis quite clearly said that he would stop attacking me if the moratorium
was permanent - not that I stop cancelling his posts - because I never
have.

No, you're either trying to misdirect everyone here, or are being amazingly
obtuse. It has nothing to do with whether _I_ believe the reward is
for real. Of course I don't. Of course you don't. It has everything
to do with whether one person out of the 10s of millions of people on the
Internet may be tricked into believing it. And if one does, then...

There are four people in Montreal who would suggest that the police _should_
take such threats on Usenet seriously. But, they can't, because they're
dead. [Read up on Valeri Fabrikant some day.]

Sure there is Dave. I've _never_ tried to hide my cancels. When I've
cancelled Grubor for spamming, there's never been any problem finding
the notifications or cancels. Have there? Where are the notifications
or cancels for Boursy? Vulis? CJIII? What on earth set CJIII off,
so that he set up a procmail script to mailbomb my colleagues? I've _never_
had anything whatsoever to do with him.

Being on parole for assault doesn't strike me as good evidence towards
the former. Posting fake rewards for my murder isn't very good evidence
for the latter, is it?

The crocodile has a nice smile too.

I've never thought I wouldn't be harrassed.

But I don't think _anyone_ would believe that harrassing sick and elderly
people who have no relationship whatsoever to me, in the middle of the night,
is a reasonable reaction.

Or do you think "pissing someone off" is a capital crime?

Perhaps you've managed to explain Grubor... Why on earth did CJIII
mailbomb people then? Explain Boursy impersonating Bauer then. Explain
Vulis then.

No Dave, the problem is that I'm trying to solve a different problem, and
your buddies are trying terrorism and extortion to stop what virtually
everyone else wants me to continue.

Don't worry tho, this problem will be solved too.

The blame, if you are going to blame, should go to the people who phoned
the number...not Vulis.

However, I should still like to know how you can know about harrassing
phone calls received by someone who "has no connection whatsoever" with you.

It's not supposed to explain that. It's supposed to get you to see that you
are engaging in behavior which is similar to that which you denounce.

Then what? Is that tricked person the responsibility of the trick-ee? You
are attempting to justify the act of manipulation as a responsible one. I will
rarely, if ever, agree with that justification.

Perhaps you cancelled messages of his friends or associates? Perhaps you

I know plenty of good people who got jailed for assult. It happens, people
lose control. I'd be way more cautious around someone who said they never
exploded and hit people...

Could it be that he was ... joking?

But, Ok. Let's examine your degree theory here.

Was threatining to shove a hot poker up C&S's ass "being nice"? Someone did,
when C&S first spammed. Death threats? These occured as well.

Since you support anti-spammers, by your own logic, I conclude that you support
these threats as well.

Do you yet see?

I can't explain these people. They're not -me-. I'm -me-. I can explain
myself, though not usually so others can understand. My questions to you
only have to do with what -I- have done to you.

Just what -have- I done to you? :)

I should say that's a biased view of the situation.

Come now Dave, you're not going to try to claim that you don't read
freedom-knights do you?

I have almost a whole year's worth archived, Dave. A great introduction
to hypocrisy and mutual-masturbation on a grand scale.

Who could miss Vulis whining about that Italian web site that took his
$200 to host netscum, then reneged without refunding the $200?

Who could miss HipCrime boasting about the cancel bot he's just unleashed
on news.admin.net-abuse.email and a host of other groups, with Boursy,
Blanc, Grubor and friends cheering him on? Don't you think it a trifle
hypocritical of you to castigate me for cancelling spam without regard
for content, when you cheer on people attempting to destroy all discussion
completely?

Who could miss Grubor carrying on and on and on about kicking ass, killing
POPs etc.?

Who could miss Vulis's CC'ing the bogus reward for my demise, and opining
that me and my family should be killed? That was a bit much for
_even_ Grubor to stomach, wasn't it?

I wonder who is bragging about email bombing me now?

Is it Chris Blanc (aka goat, aka Spinoza Ray Prozak, aka the boy who needs
a good dose of Preparation H) who just recently forged ab...@nortel.ca
reply-tos via loop.com?

Is it Grubor, who occasionally wanders down the block to the Carnegie
Library of Pittsburgh and forges a binary bomb in my name on Usenet?



> You've never even seen -me-.

That's a big smelly red herring Dave, what possible relevance is whether
I know what you look like or not?



> > Then why bring up the RFCs?

An interesting hypocrisy coming from one who supplies their own Approved
line in violation of RFC822.

He has a connection with me _now_, because he's being harrassed in my name.

Come now Dave, your attempts at evasion are transparent. Take your medicine
and be a good boy.

BWahahahahahahahaha! Oh shit, Chris, don't _do_ that! Now I've got
Scotch sprayed all over my keyboard. Oh dear, oh dear me. Ahem.

Did Vulis really get suckered? Sent off $200.00 to a site crooked
enough to offer to host Netscum?

I'll bet Boursy came back with one of his rants about "needing
consumer protection on the Internet" and offering the address of the
Italian attorney-general. What a bloody farce are the Freedumn-Knuts.

But come now, all of you who were honoured with a Netscum page;
Dimitri is out $200.00 and gawd knows the other Kooks don't have
enough money to help him. So, all Netscum honourees should send Vulis
a dime, anonymously, glued to a brick and postage-due.

Uh huh... And the sites that are hardest hit by the cancelbot are those
shining beacons of integrity that do not process cancels, so they end up
storing two copies of each post - the original, and the resurrected one,
while everyone else keeps one copy only.

Mr. Lewis is getting quite paranoid lately--all sorts of false

swallowed whole.

your exposed as being a content censor (just

Sure did. He also lost over $200 when Cyberpromo got disconnected by AGIS.

Some things posted there I ignore before I read, others I ignore after
reading the first paragraph.

I find it interesting that you presume that I saw anything, since you
still don't know what I ignored.

Why are you even bothering with me? Why not enjoy your private war with
those who oppose you? That -is- what you want, isn't it?

"So were you lying then or are you lying now?"

Now how do -you- feel when I ask you that?

Geez, Mr. Lewis. Some people say you are reasonable. I can't possibly understand
this assertion, especially when your clear intent is to attack -me- when I
haven't
even attacked you.

Do you allow your heart to be cluttered by such nonsense?

No wonder he's upset, why, $200 is almost a month's salary for Vulis.

They've either not been reading his posts, most

making all sorts of wild accusations and posted
a couple of days ago a rather pityful NoCem post
based soley on content with a rationalization that

Yes--but you see his kindom has crumbled and he's
more than a little bitter. And he blames you most
of all Mr. Hayes for hosting the Freedom Knights.
He's not attacking your idea's--he's attacking you
as a person. Notice how he wanted you solution to
spam (posted on your website) to fail--if he truely
believed what he said he'd be promoting it.

:Do you allow your heart to be cluttered by such nonsense?

Forgers are frauds--it must extend to the heart and
