What unmitigated clap trap. You claim that I somehow "took advantage" of
your ISP????

Then you go on to say that you were in violation "to a degree." You are
truly a pill.

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.

Wally.... with all due respect ... I must take this assumption to task.
Rules are set as guidelines... although enforceable to the letter... this
does not justify nor mitigate abuse of those enforceable guidelines as a
shield to prevent engagement with an opponent on a "verbal" matter.

I would state that once precedence is set.... once parameters of
engagement have been mutually established.... it is plainly wrong to
resort to evoking such action.

To explain .... and I'm certain you are aware... I have taken Jonathan to
task. During that encounter a certain established exchange of insults was
undertaken. The difference being that Jonathan elected to report me for
defamation to my ISP... despite an ongoing interchange of established
insults between us. Jonathan had the option of not responding .. or kill
filing me. I made no attempt throughout this altercation... to mask my
identity nor alter my header. I provided everyone with "if subject
contains" keywords to facilitate kill filing.

Despite my efforts... Jonathan took advantage of my TOS to report me. I
know I was in violation to a degree... but this benchmark was established
within the protocol of the group and until Jonathan began filing abuse
complaints ... I had been in verbal quarrels to a much greater degree of
dissention than what had taken place with Ganz. I even on occasion had
come to his aid. Having the these boundaries established within the
group... I felt that I was not in violation of the "spirit of intent" of
my TOS.

I have refused to follow the recommendations of my ISP and file counter
complaints.... since I have accepted the terms of engagement on this
group.

I firmly believe that to blindly state that I am guilty of violations of
my TOS is a rather narrow minded and short sighted accusation.... based on
the letter of the law rather than the intent.

To quote my ISP... "although we agree with your position, our hands are
tied by the regulations"... sums up what they think of the complaints
forwarded to them from Jonathan.

I stand righteous in my indignation..... so don't paint this canvas in
black and white... and do not talk down to me from a precarious perch of
pretensions.

I have only one provider in my area..... I knew this when I entered into
the diatribe... and Jonathan was the only one to report me in the years
I've posted here. He has established himself as such...... without a
doubt... beneath my contempt!
