On Wed, 6 Feb 2002, Trei, Peter quoted the mad ravings of mattd:

Mattd: Have you considered a distributed system to "store" your rantings and fascinations? Unlike the spam content you used to [attempt to] justify your actions, you are acting deliberately, with malice aforethought as it were, to steal the use of others [generously donated] resources. This is beyond disgusting, it's an abhorrent act. Your "position" that using the archives as a storage medium is excused because you have "paid your dues" by being arrested by a completely unrelated third party (the goverment of whatever place you infest) is not sound - the exact same "logic" would allow me to break into your house and put an end to whats left of your miserable existence, without repercussions, merely because I have been arrested a few times myself. OK, more than a few, but, I digress... Jim, if you expunge this asshole's "storage", he will likely find greener pastures to abuse elsewhere. This would be an act of self-defense, not censorship. And I think everyone here (and maybe even mattd if he ever gets the medication he so desperately needs) would both agree and applaud. -- Yours, J.A. Terranson [EMAIL PROTECTED] If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------
