 RC> Hello MARTIN!

 RC> 29 Dec 06 12:00, you wrote to me:

I know Wayne. He gets a bit cryptic at times but i can read between the
lines.

You acted as such by blocking Docsplace BBS from this echo.

Nooo! Wayne and i still disagree about the degree of carbon sequestration 
by the oceans.

It was a hideous piece of timing by Ed. I'm sure he is still having
a good belly laugh about the whole thing. I know i am.

 RC> and while you may feel both of them catch a unusual amount of flack,

You allowed your silly war with them to cloud your judgment as a
Zone 1 coordinator.

 RC> I never accused you of anything falsely.

I accused you of interfering with the feed from a sublink.

Proven not false.

 RC> As far as my responsibility goes, I sat here and watched Wayne SPAM no

 RC> echo, for reasons he has yet to elaborate on, maybe its this delusion

If Wayne did anything wrong in any echo then that is for the moderators
to determine. It is not the job of a coordinator to set themselves up
as house of censorship.

The fact you say you watched him "SPAM" no less than 4 echoes shows
you have an unhealthy fixation with him. As far as i am aware Docsplace
has not of late recieved 4 moderators netmails about Wayne. Are you
now saying you took it upon youself to tamper with his mail? 

 RC> So for a one hour time frame on 12/15, docsplace was without this echo,

 RC> with messages from other echoes..

That is a lie. Wayne started complaining for a good three days about
his mail going missing and i noticed that Docsplace users had suddenly
stopped posting in this echo.

 RC> Oh and lets define SPAM.. Wayne wasnt taking messages from another echo
 RC> and replying to them all over, he was simply taking them as is and
 RC> forwarding them w/o comment.

Not your job Cassell. It is the job of the moderators to complain to
our sysop and not your job to cut our feed.

 RC> You already know that I was in contact with Ed and had Fidonews back on
 RC> within that hour, Ed also told you he agreed with my actions,
 RC> nevertheless, the 2 messages missed were inconsequential compared to
 RC> the ones Wayne perpetrated.

You contacted Ed Koon after you cut his feed when it became apparent
that complaints where going to come about your behavior.

Ed Koon took you at your word and banned Wayne from the backbone
and has since reversed that decision.

 MA> I have nothing to apologies to you about.

 RC> Do your homework next time.
 
What you didn't expect is that i would do my homework. You took
Ed Koon's trust and betrayed him. You allowed you distaste for
some of our users to cloud your judgment and compromised your 
responsibilities as a coordinator.
