  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) Funny I've found quite a few "reasonable" people who found it offensive. Some of whom have posted it this thread. (...) It doesn't really matter what your view is because the TOU is very clear. Personal information will not be divulged with (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) Ken, I'm sorry that you felt hurt by what Larry wrote. Larry has since apologized to you for the comments which you found offensive. If others in NILTC, or at the library, call upon Larry for an apology, I've no doubt he would apologize to (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) Assuming you do not mind other peoples point of view since you are doing all this in the public forums I would like to step in and give my thoughts on this one point. Ken's working situation IS and WAS personal information. So what if Ken has (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) Wow. Thanks for catching that mistake. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote "personal" above. I guess I was thinking "personal private" and accidentally wrote "personal." Sorry for the confusion on the wording and thanks again for the (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) Ok - no worries. It did strike me as odd you would say it was not personal information. But I do agree it was not private information - but IMHO that does not make it "ok" for others to be posting it unless said person has said it was ok. You (...)

  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) I want to perform an experiment here to determine if this stance on revealing of personal information is reasonable. 1. Is it reasonable to say that Todd Lehman's being an AFOL is personal information? 2. Todd certainly has communicated that (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) I didn't ask for his apology but he did but then he turned around and started his campaign of justification and obfuscation. He still owes the library and NILTC an apology not that his apologies seem to be worth anything. (...) If that's the (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) SNIP (...) No, he flies it like a flag and has widly disseminaeted it himself. If I were to find out something as mundane as his political affiliation it would be wrong for me to post it without his permission. Somewhere someone has that (...)

  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) You're twisting words here Ken. What Todd is saying is that you (not somebady else) posted this infomation in what could be construted as a public forum (the Yahoo group) without saying that you considered this infomation to be private. (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) Where did the library call for his apology? Where did NILTC? And since you deem Larry's apologies as worthless anyway, why are you so adamantly pursuing it? (...) First you're pissed at Larry for what any outsider would interpret as a (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) Well I disagree that Yahoo groups are necessaily public. If you can only join with the consent of the group moderator, and the messages are only available to members, I would consider it very bad form to repeat publically anything that is (...)

  Timeout (was Re: "Some pigs...")
 
The many personal insults and excessive crossposting by Ken Nagel in this thread have earned Ken a one-week timeout from posting on LUGNET, beginning immediately. It's unfortunate that Ken was let go from his employer. The circumstances of Ken's end (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) Good point about the publicness of the Yahoo group. It equates more to a party at a private home. Still, I would not expect someone to not share information discovered at a private party. In fact, one of my examples was going to be if I post a (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Timeout (was Re: "Some pigs...")
 
(...) As with all timeouts, Ken's return after the timeout period has expired is subject to indicating understanding of why the timeout occured, and an agreement to abide by the ToS. The choice on whether to abide by the ToS is completely up to Ken, (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) Over the years Todd has made his stance on the hobby a VERY well known stance. Plus, we are ON Lugnet so we all know this. And when you talk about Lugnet you will prob also talk about Todd. When you run a public site such as this and basically (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Timeout (was Re: "Some pigs...")
 
Now I understand that ken is bullheaded and may have justly received this timeout however I do agree that an apology is in order. Larry’s so called bad joke was insulting to me, as well as other NILTC members. Now I know ken could care less about an (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Timeout (was Re: "Some pigs...")
 
-snip- Thank you for giving us the perspective of NILTC. Up until now, Ken has been speaking on behalf of a number of people (NILTC and the Library) - and I've been curious on their take on this.

  Re: Timeout (was Re: "Some pigs...")

(...) I have refrained from entering this "discussion" but I feel I need to insert my .02 and then back out again. Here is the deal: Ken's announcement was the joke; Larry only had the hubris to point it out. Whoever wrote the announcement, while (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Timeout (was Re: "Some pigs...")

I'm still curious about how the club feels. (...) I hope you realize that the Admins (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

I may not necessarily think it's reasonable to take offense so, but (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Apologies (was Re: Timeout
 
(...) Larry, if you're so busy dealing with Lugnet issues (URL) I would suggest the quickest resolution would be to just apologise "to anyone that may be offended" in the original thread. ROSCO (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Timeout (was Re: "Some pigs...")
 
(...) You seem to be implying that answering Ondrew's email was NOT a Lugnet (admin) issue, or was less important than other issues Lar (and other admins) may have been addressing. If that is indeed what you mean, then I would strongly disagree. (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
