No, judge the outcome. He said it was junk. He said he didn't subscribe to
it. He said he didn't want it. I acted based on that. I acted to ensure he
wouldn't get something he said he didn't want.
The *outcome* is he's not getting it any more, until he resubscribes. Sorry
if he lied about it and really he DID want it after all despite his
statements... maybe you should review whether lying is always morally wrong
or not.
Maybe in his case it's OK to lie? I dunno.
I'm prepared to be ToSsed over it as what I did was against the spirit of
the ToS. But *that* won't prevent me from unsubbing him if he lies again.
What *will* prevent me is if the LP implements a confirmation email
system... which I mailed them about today, strongly suggesting that they do.

| (...) Doesn't that invalidate your apology? Aren't you just saying "I'd do it again in a heartbeat?" Do you have the right to excersize that power over Scott's email account, regardless of whether or not he wants it? Maybe if you asked him (...) (23 years ago, 23-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
