Gee thanks. How much do I owe you for that?

Just don't report me for defamation of character.... it's against my TOS!

I didn't realize I had a character to defame. Besides, I'm more likely to
visit in person than to pull any fancy (translate: pinhead) internet
crapola.

Yeah... that's my view on it as well.

.... it's against my TOS! :-)


Does that stand for Terminally Opposite Sex?

I can't comment... that would be against the TOS as well.. :-)

I hate having only one cable service provider in my area..... if one of
these whiners gets me booted it would mean the end of any internet
connection since the local providers are combined.... cable phone etc.
Essentially it would be possible for persons on this group to have my
service terminated. It has effectively censored my ability to communicate on
anything other than a placid and non-confrontational method. Rather a boring
and ridiculous method of posting to this group..... unless you need to read
my posts to get some shut eye.

Let's say it's a good thing I work with a crew of red-necks and can express
myself on-site, without fear of somebody running to the police and claiming
I've verbally abused them.

Oh well..... don't expect much more than a few bland posts from me. I've
felt the jack-boot of what an abuse complaint can do.

I know how you feel. There is a solution.
Check out the link on one of Gary Burnore's post.
Email me or LP if you have her addy.

There is no solution..... my ISP provider is the only one in the area. I've
discussed this with them in person. They are aware of the situation. No
matter what other service I use to access the Usenet.... they are
ultimately the sole provider and thus a complaint from someone who has
already filed an abuse complaints against me... can easily file another if I
use my provider to access that service. The folks at my ISP have been nice
about it but they can't do much about big company policy.

I'll proceed under the hobble of censorship.... unlike my abuse
complainant... I have a wide arsenal of literary capabilities at my
disposal. It's probably just as well... levelling the field and making it
that much more challenging for me than "Whacking Gophers" ad nauseum... :-)

There IS a solution. Some newsservers insulate you from illegitmate complaints.
Check the headers on my posts and see if you can trace me back to any ISP.
Ganz has been writing abuse complaints to my new newserver like there's no
tomorrow without results because none of his complaints is legit and I've read
the TOS and obey the rules. My new server believes and fights for freedom
of speech and freedom of expression. They don't censur people because
they have something to say others don't like to hear.

I don't see any way you can get a complaint to your ISP if somebody cannot
prove you were the one posting to a newsgroup. The headers are all mush and
the complainer will not be able to tie you to the news server. You do NOT have
to live under the heel of the likes of Ganz and Haight.
