  "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
On Tuesday the 18th I extended a simple invitation for people to Visit NILTC’s next show: (URL) was responded to by Larry Pieniazek, The curator for lugnet.trains thus: (URL) copy came from the library who is very excited about this show. I would (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.niltc, lugnet.org.us.clb, lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.terms) ! 
 
  Re: who does chris think he is?
 
(...) That reminds me of a few moths ago when I used 'jackass' in a post. It's a word that has been used on 'regular TV' (not cable or after 9 p.m.) but I was offered a polite warning via e-mail. So, on the one hand I'm all for common sense (my (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: Open letter to the CEO of the LEGO Company / Call for your signs! (no discussions here please)
 
(...) I agree, it should not have been posted in "trains." I merely read the original post by clicking on it from the "top stories" box, so I was unaware of its misplacement. (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: who does chris think he is?
 
(...) I know the difference between appropriate and inappropriate as well. I'm focusing in on this so called "pofanity" issue that the LUGNET admins seem to circling around like vultures waiting for prey. If they are not then I apologize for making (...)

  Re: Open letter to the CEO of the LEGO Company / Call for your signs! (no discussions here please)
 
(...) And my point remains the same - if someone posts a message titled "Open letter to the CEO of the LEGO Company / Call for your signs!" to lugnet.trains, and I happen to be browsing lugnet.trains, I am going to assume that the letter is (...)

  Re: who does chris think he is?
 
(...) Thanks Kelly, One does not have to be college educated to be able to figure out if one has violated the ToS. I couldn't recite a single item from the ToS, because it has been so long since I read it. But I know the difference between crossing (...)

  Re: who does chris think he is?
 
(...) This sort of highlights something that I wonder about. Are smaller, out-of-the way groups more suitable for otherwise questionable behavior? With things like off-topic.debate, it's skipped by default, so there's less chance that (say) a kid (...)

  Re: stepping up to the dead horse (was some other title)
 
(...) Nothing really to add, but I agree with Dan. I'd want to see what the administration has done-- mostly to try and gauge: - how often are these things done? - what sorts of things result in timeouts? - has <person x> been timeoutted before? How (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)  
 
  Re: who does chris think he is?
 
Hi Chris, nice to meet you. I'd've liked to converse under better circumstances, but needs must dictate. At any rate, you raise some very good points, and I appreciate your honesty. I also understand your need for some of the language, although (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX) !! 
 
  Re: My Timeout
 
(...) All of them? No. I'm more realistic than that. I do beleive that a new filter would go a long way towards healing what I feel is currently the biggest issue with LUGNET though, that issue being noise. Examples of the effect (and before anyone (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
