Let's take a look at what Janis wrote, and fill in the blanks -

 JK> Not necessarily.

Keep in mind that Janis is not only the self-designated moderator
of the echo under discussion, but also the self-declared despot of
zone 1.

What happened to the other one?  Probably too busy trying to find
new suckers to buy copies of shareware than to bother with anything
dealing with fidonet.

Not sure if the other moderator even knew about the break-in.
What were the rules?  Seems the participant in question did not
have a clue.  Just stumbled right on in, and got blasted by the
self-declared head honcho of zone 1.  I guess it's his own darn
fault.  Always blaming Muslims for all the evils in the world.
And climate change.  That guy wasn't kidding when he wrote "Hell
hath no fury like a woman scorned."

Unlike that particular individual (he got what he deserved), I
have learned my lesson well.  When a lady tells me to do something,
I tell her "Yes, dear."  And that is the end of that.

 JK> The sysop asked me for proof, evidence of the abuse etc. which I provided,

Well, C.G. must have learned his lesson a long time ago, as he
was ever so quick to comply with the lady's request ...

 JK> So one cannot say in every case "those days are passed".

The lady has clearly over-heated.  Just look at what is
happening in NY.  People wearing t-shirts and short pants
on Christmas Eve.  This was not caused by climate change.
Tim knows that.  Janis knows that.  You know that.  And
everybody else knows that, too.  :)

Merry Christmas, Janis (and yours)
