To the Group:
A person or persons posting in this newsgroup has NETCOPPED gangle and
had his Giganews account put on hold for posting "off-topic".
THIS IS ABSURD; a more grievous injury and ABUSE than *any* in the recent
discussions. This group is un-chartered and un-moderated and NOTHING is
off-topic here.
This FRIVOLOUS complaint by COWARDS must not be allowed to stand or ALL
in this newsgroup are at risk from these 'NET ABUSERS.
This has happened before and gangle was cleared and his account
re-instated.

Please address your complaints of this VIOLATION of gangle's rights to the
following:

Tim Yaeger tya...@staff.texas.net tr...@staff.texas.net
,ab...@giganews.com, and sup...@giganews.com :

Please include that the 'Net abusers who filed this frivolous complaint be
reported to *their* ISP for disciplinary action.

Thanks!

My two cents: email sent to giganews on gangle's behalf. Hope it helps,
what are the other ones? I hesitate to send to someone unless I know who or
what they are...please illuminate me...TIA...

Sorry - am running hours behind on the posts here - and sent my letter and
posted it to the group as well -
This thread popped up here soon after I posted, otherwise I would not have
repeated the thread.

This is getting pretty lame....it never ceases to amaze me how some people
can be so self-righteous, and never once consider their own feet of clay.

To the individual responsible for this report: Because of your action in
this matter, I have lost all the tremendous respect I once held for you.
You asked recently "You have no idea who I am do you"? The answer, sad to
say is, yes - and now I know what you are too.

I think you just made Oxford's point in spades. IIRC, this recent pissing
contest started when cat daddy net copped someone for posting a link to an ATSR
type discussion board. It was a single post, to this group only. Cat daddy
crowed about netcopping the site and getting it taken down. It seems cat daddy
decided it was *off topic* for this group. He, and Henrietta, and Maryanne Kehoe
(Olive Loaf) have decided what is permitted on any given newsgroup. The rest of
us are only allowed access to this medium at their pleasure.

Yes, and the "rogue netcop" seems to be the person you most recently
allied yourself with and shares your opinions on postings here.

Wake up, man! You are playing both sides of the fence. The persons who
'Netcopped gangle was *not* the people you so readily accuse of Spamcopping.

What have *you* done to correct this injustice? I dare say your opinions
have helped provoke this incident. Take some responsibility and do something
about it.

Only gangle can provide proof if Giganews provides him with it.
But, ponder this and see who might have an *agenda* against gangle.

That excuse don't cut it, cat daddy. You netcopped someone for a single
infraction, without doing any research. Abuse Admins are very busy, and don't
have the time to check out every complaint. Often, they'll pull the plug on an
account with only one report. It's up to those who make the complaints to do a
little research, get their facts straight first, before doing a netcop. There is
nothing wrong with reporting spam, I do it all the time, but it's a real good
idea to do a little research, and use a little judgement before you fire off
that report. Again, I've gotta put in a plug for Jeremy's search engine at
http://www.exit109.com/~jeremy/news/deja.html

What you did was no different than whomever netcopped gangle. Hypocrite.

I do a Deja search on most questionable SPAMMERS. Maybe I fsucked up on
this one. I am sorry. But, it is not the same as 'copping gangle and you
know it.
I will use your link in the future. But, my crimes as a Spamcop, forger,
USENET God, and poet who is fucking insane have NOTHING to do with this
situation.

Unless of course you are providing an excuse and defense for Oxford
Systems behaviour in this NG.

Nope, I don't see it. Oxford's point is that *no one* has the right to say what
is or is not on topic here. If he netcopped gangle, post proof, and I'll be the
first to flame his ass royally. Or STFU. Baseless conjecture only obfuscates the
issue. Right now, your credibility is on a par with "I did not have sex with
that woman." You've admitted to netcopping for one post, that *you* considered
off topic. Hypocrite.

If you cannot understand the difference between off-topic and Spam, then
I cannot help you. So, I'm a hypocrite by your definition. Fine.
"Baseless" conjecture?? I suppose it *could* have been a random unknown
assailant. Never really is though.
But, don't let me keep you from your other stalking activities.

Alas, the things some morons get away with. Seems pretty unprofessional of
the service providers to not request an explanation for non-EMP posts as
well. I sent mail to the addresses you provided from my admin account (just
in case it might help). Hope the vindictive bastard (whomever it is) gets
his due. I'd love to know for sure who it was.

Even if that's so (I feel differently), I don't think (truly hope) that's
quite his style. I just don't (want to) see that kind of vindictiveness in
OS. There's a line between Usenet & RL, and I believe he sees it.

This was the guy that was advertising his own helpdesk? If so, I even
visited his site and it was full of banner ads. Not really non-commercial,
and I vaguely recall he had stuff for sale. I didn't try to see if the help
was free with no strings attached.
I don't use SpamCop in these instances even if I bother with them. My
standard message is, " Please inform your user to not post this to USENET".
Kind of wussy sounding..........
But, if we can call a truce over this particular issue, I am willing.

You just contradicted yourself. He is the anti-Libertarian,
if that's how you'd define one. His posts indicate that he is
totally against free speech...except when it comes to his own.

Please be informed that it has just come to my attention that a regular,
well-respected poster in the 24hoursupport.helpdesk newsgroup has been
temporarily suspended for posting off-topic matters here. I have no idea
who made this abuse report, but I would like to inform you that it is
completely unfounded.
24hoursupport.helpdesk is an unmoderated, uncensored newsgroup
consisting of people frome around the world. Contrary to popular belief,
our support is not limited to computer hardware and software problems,
althoug more that two-thirds of the posts are, indeed, computer-related.
We offer all kinds of support here, including moral and emotional.
We do not allow binaries or spam here, because it is both contrary to usenet
policy, ISP policies, and because there are plenty of newsgroups dedicated
to advertising, that we don't need any Get Rich Quick postings here, which
is the composition of the majority of the spam that hits this group.
Some of us post jokes, some refer others to various web sites, and
some of us even call each other long distance to chat, even though very few
of us have even met. We all have our off-moments, and the rest of us offer
support to whomever is having a rough time. Sometimes listening to soft
music from your computer while reading mail or news, or while web-surfing is
more comfortable, and healthier, than drinking, etc. Gangle has never, to
my knowledge, posted music, pictures, or any other forms of binaries on this
newsgroup. He posts this stuff in the appropriate binary groups, and then
composes a post to the 24hoursupport.helpdesk to tell anyone who is
interested what he has posted, and where to find it. He munges his e-mail
address, and has never asked anyone here for theirs, and he has never asked
for payment for his time and efforts.
Please reconsider your decision and activate gangle's account as soon
as possible. Also, because I do not know who reported this malicious abuse
report, I cannot contact their ISP to report them for abuse, which he/she is
clearly guilty of. Therefore, I trust you to contact this person's ISP, wit
a copy of the abuse report he/she sent you, and any/all letters to you in
support of gangle. Clearly, the wrong account has been cancelled.

Yours very sincerely, <puppykatt>

Well, hmmm....since you are such a wannabe netcop, perhaps YOU did it to try
and start something. Would be in keeping with your character.

How nice!!! You get to "netcop" and it's fine. Your defense is that the
"news servers and ISP's make the decision, not me". Hmmm...I smell hypocrisy

You raise a good point. All the wannabe netcops on this group excuse their
actions with "I only make the complaint. It is up to the ISP or news service
to decide whether to do anything".

As is often the case, ISP's and news services do not really investigate.
They do not really have the time. The expedient thing to do for many of them
is to simply shut down the account.

This is obviously what happened here. I hope that others will see that
point.

LOL!!!! You are so far wrong it is really hard to believe.

What has been the one thing I have been arguing about on this group? Come
on! Think!

Netcopping and trigger finger abuse complaints. That's it.

I don't post messages in reply to Gangles music or mustard. I don't argue
with him over these posts. (Why should I?) The point was that these posts
take up bandwidth just like any other and that was in reply to Dollfaces
argument that one reason for abuse complaints was to help people that pay
for access by the minute.

Think!

Thanks. I do see the line.

If we want to throw around wild accusations, I can join that party (and in

But as I have said several times, I have no problem with Gangle. Never have.

Actually, I think it was YOU cat daddy.

What better way to churn animosity towards the person you love to hate than
to netcop Gangle and then accuse someone else?

Just as murderers usually know their victims and rapists usually know their
victims, so you know Gangle. Hmmmmm....

Nope, you've got your head up your fourth point of contact. Oxford hasn't
netcopped anyone for *off topic* posts. At least, I don't think so. I'll issue
the same challenge I issued to cat daddy- post proof, or STFU. All I've seen so
far is baseless conjecture, and wild-assed accusations. Post proof. If Alan
netcopped someone for off-topic posts, his credibility is toast. If you still
persist in accusing Alan of netcopping gangle, without proof, your credibility
is toast.

Post proof.

This was my thoughts exactly. I think its about time that somebody who
really doesnt give a shit what others think, supports this other view. I
dont give a shit anymore what some of you think of me. Lots of posters seem
to have trouble standing on their own two feet in my observance, and need to
encourage what appears to be this wolfpack mentality and they do it
incessantly. It doesnt appear to be hidden from anyone, sept maybe from the
one who does it! Actually in comparison to the natural world its more like
Hyenas! I take special note and respect for those who absolutely dont join
in, but, as for me, I have been reading this crap and accusation all day and
dont think I would or could say I believed in "anything" if I didnt say

I post here only a little, lurk/read a lot. I don't know all the
facts/personalities, BUT...IF there isn't room on a group like this
for some humour/diversion/etc, then what's the use? Are we a stodgy
bunch of old fuddy-duddies bent on staying the true course no matter
what, or are we human beings? I've spent a lot of time on a lot of
electronics/technical/music newsgroups, and there's always room for
some humour and diversion, and there's always someone who'll gently
but firmly lead the thread back to its origin rather than go running
crying to some paper-tiger, power-tripping netcops. Hopefully this was
on-topic; like many, my work depends upon my ability to use the
internet, and I wouldn't want some malcontent messing with my
livelihood.

I'm with you on this one Dusty,
OS has shown NO interest in gangle whatsoever throughout the entire
loooooooooooong flame thread here. And since the beginning his messages have
remained consistant.

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this point of view and anyone who has
watched this group for a while knows it as well.

OS has been very controlled throughout this and many other flamewars (small)
in this ng and I can hardly see him playing by cd's rules.

I don't however, think that cd is necessarily the one responsible for the
demise of gangle as he had been in verbal battle more than a few times in
the past couple of weeks.

Again, there _is_ a difference between a 'spam' post, and a post which
may not be 'topical', but it won't hurt to take a quick look at someones
posting history before firing off an abuse report over what may just be
stupidity. I have a question, though, if someone had previously been TOS'ed
for spamming, wouldn't they then sign on at a different ISP with a new user
name, which would make the post appear to come from a total newbie because
there would be no history associated with the new username?? (Jeez, I'm
getting a headache!)

ps - thanx for the link; it's much faster than the search on the deja
site!

I hope you didnt misunderstand me, I was speaking in general terms. Not
accusing OS.

Whats really at the root of this whole thing?. I havent even seen that
mentioned yet (for what it is).

The fact is, the off topic stuff prompted someone, or possibly several
people to make a complaint. And my point with that is.... whoever,
whichever individual, prompted it, ought to assume responsibility FOR it.
If for nothing else to put a stop to this kind of crap that ensues and
detracts from everyone that needs help on this particular day. By its
nature, whether it is defensible in any respect (the off topic stuff), the
fact still remains with what is it that initiated the whole bru ha ha.
Without it, there is nothing else.

It seems to me there are several people who read this group, who never say a
word. And I can see why. The chances of being intimidated are very high.
You see it every day. I see a propensity by a few, to project some pretty
snarly attitudes at even the slightest opportunity, even the rude sigs imply
it, toward any unknown that even dares to open their mouth for help. I
never have, personally, been one to control my tongue...even when it was
very much needed, but I did for a while here, even when in "desparate" need
for help with my computer,... before I ever asked for help here, after
seeing what I percieved as the desire for "some" to feed their egos at the
expense of the weaker, the innocent and/or the ignorant. It didnt take me
much lurking to see that, and I very nervoussly typed out that first request
and I am by no means a wallflower.

Well, the STFU was out of line. Since a lot of this conversation has to do with
what is, and is not *on topic* and who has the right to determine that, it's a
bit arrogant of me to tell anyone to STFU. I was wrong, and am willing to accept
valid contrusctive criticism. I apologize for that comment. The *Head up the
Fourth Point of Contact* was a valid point, and it remains.

Usually, most of the newbies do the MMF thing, or one of it's variants. Pulling
a posting history will show the newsgroups in alphabetical order. If there is a
vague chance the post could be on topic in the groups shown, I let it slide.

Just my opinion, but spam isn't as big a threat as the binary flooding from
those with fast uploads. news:alt.binaries.misc is a warez group these days, and
the retention on the warez groups is measured in hours for most news servers.
Connection speeds have outdistanced the storage capacity at most ISP's, it may
be a while before things catch up.

If you aren't aware of it, some of the biggest spam-cancellers on Usenet started
because of spam flooding in the binary groups, mostly the sex groups. Howard,
Rick, etc. got fed up with the porno web sites spamming groups they were
downloading pictures from.

No fear there Dusty, I agree with you.
this whole thing has gotten out of hand from a fair bit of posting by TROLLS
and TROLL HUNTERS both. THere is obviously a very long standing battle
between OS and cd I believe that OS is willing to settle it out through
personal emails but cd is not willing to do the same.

I don't think that the one(s) responsible are going to be standup about it
as I personally believe whoever did is a TROLL and will hide in cowardice
and let the rest go to hell on their own.

If you remember when I first came in here you will realize that I am also no
wallflower, but I am rapidly becoming more cautious in my postings from
watching the responses and from getting some of the responses.

oh well if this were life it would matter but it aint so it dont.

hope to continue seeing you in here Dusty, you are wise.
