Someone that gets booted from a series of providers for deliberate
abuse and/or TOS violations over the course of a five year flameware
is a nutcase, too. Net-abuse and/or TOS violations are *not* justified
by being on the right side of an argument.

While I can see that there's an ethical or principled aspect to this, the
brass tacks of the matter are that there are enforcable rules which the user
can choose to abide by, or transgress. It's simply about accepting your
provider's TOS, and then choosing whether or not to abide by them.


Not entirely so. There are always those troublesome gray areas. Take KKKatysails
netKKKopping of me with my expendable Individual.net account. In her case,
I did nothing against their TOS. Go back and do some research before you jump
to foolish conclusions. Katy reported me for forging. A close look at the e-mail addy
I used will reveal the truth. Instead of using , I used
Do you see the difference? If I used the first, it
would be against the TOS; since I used the latter, which is not her addy and not
a legit email addy at all, it was not a forgery.


That would be entirely up to the discretion of your ISP. Many ISP's would see
that as a clear attempt to impersonate, and would regard it the same way they
would any forgery or impersonation.


Bull****

Who are you again?
