That's not the issue.

Someone logged into HUB the EDITED me out of the CURRENT mailing list.
You are mis-representing the facts.  Exactly what I expect from CORE.

That's not the issue either.  Again, someone logged into HUB and 
removed me.

Again, who was su'd or logged into the majordomo account (or any account
with write access to the list directories) a few hours ago?

Yeah, so who's the asshole who signed in and removed me?

Yes, *AFTER* I was removed by a fraud who signed into HUB.  *I* unsubscribed
from those lists LATER, after resubscribing to current, posting my "where"
command, and making it known that someone else had been tampering.

Go look at the DATE AND TIME STAMPED messages, AND the logs on hub.

Or would you prefer to protect the GUILTY?

Jonathan, two words for you: Go Stuff.

Got it?

It ain't a two-week sabbatical.  Its a permanent one.  You and your
blow-hard assholes can go shove this "enforced leave" up your puny pucker
and leave it there until it explodes.  I beg in front of NOBODY, and
that goes double for puny-brained cowards such as yourself who try to
deliberately cover up for the unethical and inappropriate actions of 
other "annointed ones".

You DISGUST me.

I've had it.  

You Lord-Mighty-and-all-things-shitheaded have pulled this crap before.
Yes, YOU.  YOU is a plural Jonathan, for YOU speak for CORE.

YOU identify as CORE and Postmaster.  I want to know who the person was 
who su'd on Hub and removed me from the lists.  

I want that person ejected from your systems and publically called out for 
what they did.  IN PUBLIC.

I know damn well you won't do it, but the call remains the same, and until
and unless you *DO* take this action your posting here is nothing other than
YET ANOTHER fraud and piece of deceit.

You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to cover up the actions of a
member of your own crew.  Yet that is EXACTLY what I have come to expect
from FreeBSD-CORE - insular, treehouse behavior unfitting of anything except
public illumination.

Walnut Creek should be ashamed.  And once again, for the second time in 
two years, I will be compelled to send a letter to Walnut Creek telling 
them not only of YOUR little band's actions, but also the fact that I 
will actively encourage people NOT to buy their CDROMs, NOT to subscribe 
to their pay-for-update services, and to instead TAKE what they want 
without renumeration.

Why?  Because no firm that SPONSORS the kind of bullshit that THEY DO
deserves my support, and I will make damn sure that everyone who I have
contact with knows why!

Yeah, sleep is about it.

It goes right together with covering up the truth.

Something you and Paol are so very, very good at, and which is at the 
ROOT of this entire controversy.

Some day, you will have integrity.

It will not be today.
