Re: Technic sidebar malicious behavior —David Eaton

Eric, I'm glad to hear your position, although I'd appreciate it if you recused yourself from the public discussion as I'm concerned that it will only agitate things further. DaveE (18 years ago, 12-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)

Re: Technic sidebar malicious behavior —Bob Parker

(...) I have requested that Lugnet cancel my original message. I assume cancelling the entire thread is undoable? I am sorry for my lame attempt at humor and apologise to anyone who may be affected, including esp. Ross and Eric. Bob (18 years ago, 12-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

Re: Technic sidebar malicious behavior —

Rene Hoffmeister

(...) Hi Bob, as mentioned via email, cancelling your post wouldn't make any sense and deleting the whole thread isn't an option. Anyway, I'm not a friend of deleting anything simply because it becomes a little bit unpleasing. This only would cause (...) (18 years ago, 12-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

Re: Technic sidebar malicious behavior —Allister McLaren

(...) Well done Eric. You continue to amaze me. By 'lawyering up' over something as petty as this you've made yourself look an even bigger idiot than before, something I didn't think possible. And it's 'copyright', which should give you a clue about (...) (18 years ago, 13-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)

Re: malicious behavior —David Koudys

(...) Actually, you'd be qrong--the available evidence is that he, you know, is better than this.

Re: malicious behavior —Eric Sophie

Tim, what was the last thing I did wrong? Refresh our memories and back up your story. Then tell me what any of this has to do with you or the Technic Side bar and Ross's actions. Since you like to molest my images, having broke the law several (...) (18 years ago, 14-Feb-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Re: Tim's beef behavior —Timothy Gould
