Dear Carl,

It is apparent from reading RBT today that you have breached certain
confidences contained in my private reply to your sole private email to
me.

So, here's the deal: the next time I see a smarmy insult from you,
directed toward *anyone*, I will post a link to the underhanded, back
stabbing, gossipy email you sent to me. This will not only embarrass
you, but also "RA" (as Kubrick might put it ;-> ).

You decide.

Cheers,
Ozark

While I'm not privy to exactly what Carl did to piss you off, it's just
as bad that you chose to berate him publicly without first bringing up
with him directly, first.

Your post above is just as egregious as anything he may have done to
you. Sounds like you two need to share apologies and get over
yourselves.

Dear Fred,

I'm baffled, since I haven't mentioned the email that I sent Oz, which
was about a completely unrelated thread.

He thanked me for warning him about a potential problem, but now he
apparently thinks that I've mentioned the matter on the newsgroup,
which I haven't.

It's odd to receive blackmail threats in public, but Oz may just be so
confused that he doesn't know what he's doing. If he wants to publish
my email and his reply, I can't complain.

But I hope that he either explains what's going on enough for me to
figure out why he's upset, or else figures out that he's grossly
mistaken.

In any case, I hope that he considers the two other people involved,
just as I did.

If nothing else, we're entertaining everyone.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

My observation:

I'll plonk both of you for a while if I must, in order to keep from
knowing what this is about. It started private, and I'm pretty sure
it needs to stay that way.

Guys, take it back to email if there's anything to argue about.

Dear Dane,

Normally, I aggravate only RBT, but Oz's bizarre blackmail was posted
as an open letter to several normally Fogel-free groups.

It seemed reasonable to hit the "all groups" option when I asked him
what he's talking about.

I just looked through my recent posts, wondering if I'd see something
that Oz might have misunderstood, but I'm still baffled.

Anyone curious about my vile machinations can find them here:

Dear Carl,

Don't be coy. You sent me an email wherein you made certain allegations
regarding an RBT regular. I replied in earnest, and soon found that you
had leaked some info to other RBT posters "offline" (via private email)

For the curious: Carl sent an email in which he said an RBT regular
might "just be replying to the voices in his head". he also included a
private email between himself (Carl Fogel) and another RBT regular
(we'll call him "RA" in a Kubrickesque slant), wherein "RA" said the
other RBT regualur in question was "seriously mentally ill".

The bottom line is that Carl fogel communicates behind the scenes in an
underhanded manner, violates privacy and engages in character
assassination.

Beware.

Cheers,
Ozark

No, Carl, not "on the newsgroup", but behind the scenes, via private
email, in what I now understand may be your SOP.

"Blackmail"? Hardly. Just a poblic warning shot across the bow of your
sleazy, backhanded methods. I prefer to operate out in the open, not in
the shadows.

Trust me, I know exactly what I'm doing: exposing a behind-the-scenes
sleazebag.

I am not ashamed of my reply, Carl, it was made in earnest, thinking
your email was a genuine attempt to be helpful, not the behind the
scenes character assassination it really was. Are you issusing me an
invitation to post a link to the email?

What did you read on RBT today--from anyone--that made it "apparent"

Here's your private reply in full, barring a name. You thanked me for
taking the trouble to warn you about a problem that another bicycle

What on earth did you feel you were confiding in me when you thanked
me for giving you a private warning about a wretched problem?

And where did you see your "confidences" being "breached" today on
RBT?

Incidentally, a public blackmail letter is amusing, but not terribly
effective.

Writing to you was no fun, since the problem was a person, not a

What "confidences" do you see in your thank-you note?

Where do you feel that it became "apparent" that they were "breached"

Dear Greg,

Yes, my careless and irritable editing removed only 3 real names and 2
of 3 pseudonyms in a long, tangled email that Oz had already stated he
was posting.

I wish that the customer had never emailed me, accusing the dealer of
ripping him off.

But I'd still email the dealer about the customer's complaint to me
(god knows why he emailed me). After all, the dealer has informed me
on previous occasions that he values his reputation and works hard at
upholding it--and he's the only one who comes out of this sorry mess
looking good.

And I'd still email Oz if I was in the miserable position of knowing
that he was about to make himself and the customer miserable because
he didn't know what he was getting into.

I didn't want to find myself asking why I let Oz and the customer get
into trouble when I could have given Oz a private warning. We may
disagree on a newsgroup, but that's no excuse for letting Oz walk
face-first into a glass door, particularly if the glass door is
another person who already has plenty of problems.

Like you, I'm still baffled why Oz started this thread for what
appears to be no reason after his original thank-you note, which could
hardly be improved on.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

It didn't really matter since Oz in his infinite lack of wisdom posted
the whole thing verbatim. And I still can't figure out why he started
this whole mess. The sooner he takes the email exchange off of his

I'm sorry to say it, Oz, but I can't make out what you're on about.
You're not making any more sense than many of datakoll's posts. If you
keep it up, you'll be in danger of needing sunscreen yourself.

Yes, Carl's excessive politeness can be annoying and smacks of the
passive-aggressive, but so what? It's no worse and indeed much less
irritating than the vitriolic manner that many others (sadly, including
myself) often resort to. It's pretty hard to complain that someone is
being polite (except on Usenet, of course).

Dear Greg,

I agree that removal would be nice, but I hope that you can see why
I'm the one person who can hardly suggest it.

Barring some rational explanation, I'm forced to assume that Oz was
simply so angry about something else that he made up some claim that I
"breached" the "confidences" that he never made to me--for heaven's
sake, I was the one who reluctantly confided in him with good
intentions and considerable misgivings.

Incredibly, he seems to think that no one will read the thank-you note
that he wrote to me.

Even if Oz somehow explains what provoked him, the fact remains that
he chose to make public blackmail threats to try to force people to
write to please him on the newsgroup. That tells us all we really need
to know about his intelligence and his character.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

Carl, don't worry.

Copyright law says that you have the full and complete control of
re-publication of anything you write. This includes letters and email.

While the recipient has ownership of the copy he or she receives,
intellectual property rights remain vested in you; and should you wish to
counter threats of blackmail (nomatter how deranged), if full disclosure
will reveal that you are blameless while a party who has in the recent past
relentlessly attacked your positions (and person) is not, your course is not
only clear, but honourable.

There are no winners in this mess. I do think that Carl owes Sheldon

I'm reading this on RBT, where none of this nonsense belongs. I guess,

For some reason I have this visceral feeling of plearure upon reading
your comment.

I know mental illness is no joke, but having some guy, or even better,
some chump *think* I have mental problems (problems that manifest
themselves in ways he can't understand or deal with) sort of pleases
me.

From my reading of the emails I think you're way off base there. But
what do I know? I don't think normally.

please, stretch out on the couch, read this porno mag while I go out
(on the bike) for a coffee and a few gossip mags.

ok. I'm back. I see you have a hard on.

I had a friend who insinuated, and insinuation continues to be his
problem.

In fact, given the right conditions, insinuation may start a war, kill
millions, destroy ecosystems...the planet.

Picture two graphic equalizers with levers for each personality
characteristic: If one box has its' levers up in high and the other
the levers down in low - violence can result from simple insinuation.

Insinuation comes from various foundations - not just general
ignorance or stupidity.

Say a person wants desires to do something - like fill a vacuum.

He approaches his target - gotta be something worthwhile. He sez,
"you are a creep." Not only does he prove to himself that he is
better than you, but that he is capable of judging you, AND incredibly
by doing this he shows you that you need accept him as your friend and
benefactor caws he pointed this superiority and your basic problem-
that is to say - that "you are a creep"

Thus, having established himself, the insinuator then wanders of to
publicize the activity and in general raise himself above the rabble
maybe getting elected dogcatcher or shadow discussion group leader.

Ya know, sitting out there in De Moine, typing into the Dell, someone
can believe himself the supreme ruler of cyberspace. Multiple email
addresses - the author can form his own posts pro con and advance a
fringe theory like Big Mac's are good for you.
People here, old women working for the mob, believe that the
insinuator is Jobst Brandt!! howabouthat.

My friend's insinuation - for apparent reasons, visits to D.C. always
involved paths crossed with RFK: A few moments of silence followed by
anger.

The first RFK path crossing, with my friend, came at the point where my
insinuating friend years later had the back of his head blown of by a
.38 revolver: RFK rolled up in a Lotus elite, de rigueur.

My friend had been out insinuating.

Back in those days everything was simpler and more confused
One summer night, going to the pier
I ran into two young girls
The blonde one was called Freedom
The dark one, Enterprise
We talked and they told me this story

Of all the creepy things. So now we're supposed to be promulgating a
secret black list of the mentally ill, keeping them from ordering
bicycle parts? What the hell? Suppose there actually were a mentally
ill person here on r.b.t (only one?????), god forbid actually ordering
bicycle parts. Well, that person has as much right to shop and to ride
as anyone else; and if they had a rough time with one shop owner, to
either find a more congenial one, or to get better themselves and try
again elsewhere, if that's the ticket.

Good grief, this is r.b.t: two-thirds of the traffic here already is
generated by people who are greviously mentally ill, and two-thirds of
that is the really, really ugly kind. So now people are so fussy? If
the mentally ill were kept from ordering bicycle parts, there'd be a
lot of shops represented here going bust in short order. And that's
just the customers, what about the shop owners? I understand there are
one or two here who actually voted Republican in recent years, who
think the war in Iraq was necessary or prudent, and that George W. Bush
is competent. Talk about delusional.

The Iraq War was the greatest thing ever to come down the pike of the
American way of life. Of course, we could be fighting the Islamic terrorists
here in the streets of America, but only delusional Democrats would want
that sort of thing. If the Iraq War turns out to be successful George W.
Bush will go down in history as one of our very greatest presidents.
President Truman also had very low ratings in the polls, but he was quite
right to drop the atom bomb on Japan and to engage us in the Korean War.

Liberal left wing kooks should be rounded up and executed. They are nothing
but cowards and traitors. I personally would be delighted to blow their

Au contraire, whether the real deal or mere poseur, he is expressing
solidarity with my view that two-thirds of the traffic here already is
generated by people who are grievously mentally ill, and two-thirds of

I merely state what everyone who is not a liberal left wing ding bat thinks,
but is too intimidated by the liberal mass media to say. I do believe that
the mass media pretty much determines in the long run what Americans will
think about things. The talk radio conservative voices are basically in the
wilderness preaching to the choir. It is the great unwashed (ignorant slobs)
who always determine which way the country goes in national elections.

Most people should not be allowed to vote. They are simply too stupid. But
failing that, I am always greatly encouraged when very few people actually
do vote. This is all too the good. Why would you want liberal left wing ding
bats who have been brainwashed by the mass media to be voting. It makes no
sense whatsoever!

Further, I believe a highly educated gentleman of leisure such as myself
should have many votes, not just one vote. Because of my Greatness I believe
I should have at least 1000 votes at the bare minimum. This is to counteract
all the idiots in the land who do not know their asses from a hole in the
ground.

Democracy is eventually going to fail and we will end up being ruled by
someone like Sadamn Hussein. Murder and rape will be the order of the day.
Our population will mostly be Mexican in a few more years and they won't
mind being ruled by a tyrant as that is what they are used to anyway. We are
all just thirsting to revert to slavery. We want nothing better than to kiss
someone's ass and be given an allowance like children to live out our
miserable lives. At long last, we shall be as one with the unwashed hordes
of Asia and Africa. Hallelujah, home at last!

It's interesting that Ed himself compares his "genius" to a dung heap
