Just an open question to Lugnet. In the recent thread about Richie Dulin's Nazi Spiffcraft, I felt the need to speak my mind about the subject matter Richie posted. I made, what I felt, was an honest and accurate critique. That critique prompted a (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Well, you're a curator, so when your posts are viewed with that in mind. Granted, curatorship doesn't impart any magical powers, but it makes you seem more "official" than those of us who aren't curators, for what that's worth. I wouldn't (...)

(...) Dear all, I would like to add to the record that I did not, and nor would I, call Lenny a racist. I don't believe that Lenny is a racist. If he is referring to someone else calling him a racist then you can ignore this. Tim (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I just wanted to see if I could get you to post outside of your org.ca.rtltoronto ivory tower, you nutty liberal Canadian West Wing fan. I haven't seen you outside of that group for weeks; if you're not careful, you're going to go native. (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Not to get into it, but if someone states, "I hear you're a racist", that someone did not explicitly say "You are a racist" and can state "I didn't say you were a racist, I just said 'I *heard* you were a racist" Just like if someone stated (...)

Although I disagree with the similarity to the "I hear you beat your wife..." argument (what I said was definitely not a leading question) if you see that it can be construed as me saying that Lenny was a racist then I will take the criticism.

Looked to me like little more than 'not funny, this shouldn't even be on lugnet', which is a fair enough comment I suppose, but to characterise it as 'honest and accurate' is stretching credibility a bit.

(...) Actually, there wasn't much discussion of censorship in the LUGNET thread. You may be thinking of the one on JLUG[1], but i thought we'd agreed that what goes on in JLUG should stay in JLUG.
