Hello Dale,
BF>> Just want to make sure, that I'll stay in this echo, now
BF>> that I gave it a forth try.
BF>> (A) Do you think that this echo must remain a US only echo,
BF>> with all the shortcomings of the US Cuisine?
DS> Never was a USA only echo.
Sean Dennis never had any legitimacy as "moderator" of this echo.
Therefore, his claims have no legitimacy, and can easily be ignored.
This is a general chat echo dedicated to cooking, and available
in every zone for all to enjoy. You know that. I know that. Everybody
else knows that. However -
Sean Dennis has the bizarre idea that it belongs to Zone 1, and that
he alone can set whatever "rules" for all to abide by. Do you think I
am making this up?
According to your beloved self-appointed "moderator" this is
a Zone 1 only echo that follows only Zone 1 policies concerning
the "echolist" -
14. This echo does not recognize any local or regional echomail
policies such as EP1. This echo originates in Zone 1 and follows
Zone 1 policies concerning the "echolist".
Fidonet has no official private echolist of any kind. And you bloody
well know it. As well as your beloved self-appointed "moderator".
So why did he make that silly claim?
The participants own the echo. Not any self-appointed "moderator".
Sean Dennis might not like it. But that's his problem. Not mine
or anybody else's. As far as I am concerned, he can stuff it.
This is a Fidonet echo, accessible to everyone in every Zone.
Who owns the echo? The participants themselves. Do not forget that.
Do not ever forget that.
DS> There was a time when we had participants from five of the seven continents
DS> posting here. IMO, we would welcome them back. I do not recall having any
DS> from Africa, and am fairly certain never anyone from Antartica.
There may have been some participants from South Africa. A very
popular destination for many from Europe. So don't be so sure.
And Buzz Aldrin did visit Antarctica. Once.
It would be nice for more participants to join in. But who would
want to, given the recent behavior of your beloved self-appointed
"moderator"? It is clearly time for him to go.
BF>> (B) Do you think it's for the best of this echo to have a
BF>> moderator with a clearly demonstrated pathological hatred
BF>> for one of the regularly appearing participants?
DS> No comment.
Silence is an act of tacit approval. You know damn good and well
the personal attacks made by your beloved self-appointed "moderator"
were uncalled for. Not only did he insult me, but he also insulted
scores of others. And the best you can do is say "no comment"?
Shame on you, Dale Shipp! Shame on you!
BF>> (C) How many of the dozens of recipes posted here by a
BF>> single poster do you actually try out?
DS> We try out recipes from our personal cookbook and Gail's web searches.
DS> The echo has always had a strong focus on communication between friends,
DS> and less so on recipes posted.
Between friends? Tell your beloved self-appointed "moderator" to
take a hike (leave the echo) if he has any respect for any of the
participants in this echo. His presence is not welcome or wanted.
BF>> (D) What do you feel like if some of the 96% non-US people
BF>> available in the FidoNet suddenly would bring you up to par
BF>> with the bst cuisines in the world, not just the US style:
BF>> all the stuff putting it in a pot and cook it until it's
BF>> not even recognisable any more?
DS> IMO, we welcome all opinions so long as they are not antagonistic.
And yet you refuse to condemn the personal attacks made by your
beloved self-appointed "moderator" ... who has refused to apologize
to any of those he has insulted.
BF>> My 50yo collection recipe book is open and ready to
BF>> deploy. Just say the word.
DS> IMO, feel free to share.
Feel free to man up and condemn the actions of a madman.
Or continue to squeak like a mouse.
The choice is up to you.
For Life,
Lee
