  Apologies (was Re: Timeout
 
(...) (some, but apparently not all) (...) I'm sorry that some members of NILTC took offense at my joke. In particular, Ondrew, I am sorry that you took offense. It is regrettable. I may not necessarily think it's reasonable to take offense so, but (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Timeout (was Re: "Some pigs...")
 
(...) "On behalf" is different than being a representative of the club. I know through personal communications that Tim Courtney was not offended by Lar's post. I'm still curious about how the club feels. (...) I hope you realize that the Admins (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  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 (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Previously disclosed?
 
(...) For reference, some people may be interested in this post: (URL) That's either Ken disclosing he works in a "LEGO store", or it's a ToS violation, someone else (presumably his wife) is posting under his ID saying SHE works in a "LEGO store".

  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. (...) Does this mean you are no longer a member? No (...) (20 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 (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: The whole story?
 
(...) I recieved it. I wish I had replied with a message that said "Thank you for bringing this to my attention." But I wouldn't have recommended Lar for a timeout (he was obviously trying to joke), and I'm not entirely sure my email would have (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

  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.

  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 (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  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 (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  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 (...)

  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 (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  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.
