    Hello Bob,

    On 2015-10-7 I posted the Official Rules of the Debate Echo,
    which are, as stated -

    I AM THE OFFICIAL MODERATOR OF THIS ECHO. ALL OTHER

    Lee, leave the echo.

    No.

    The origin of the Debate echo is 2:203/2 and is not under
    the thumb of Janis Kracht and her puppy Ross Cassell.

    I am the official moderator of the Debate echo, and you
    are welcome to continue participating in this forum.
    Nobody is banned, or even suspended, from reading/posting
    messages.

    You are free as anybody else to be a pretender to the
    throne, by abusing an elist or echolist in order to make
    a false claim of being "moderator". You know, as well as
    everybody else (including Ross Cassell), that no private
    elist has any official status in fidonet. So please do
    feel free to keep elisting your name on as many elists
    as you can find. They are all quite meaningless to me.

    I have written several emails to you, inquiring as to
    your continued interest in this echo. You chose to remain
    AWOL, which is your choice.

    And now you come back here telling, not asking, me to leave?

    You have rocks in your head.

    --Lee (yes, the official moderator of the Debate echo)

    No.

    You have no basis to make that demand.

    Hello Everybody,

    Thom LaCosta's private elisting of FidoNet echoes is no longer
    recognized by me as being legitimate, given his refusal to accept
    my timely update of the CONSPRCY echo on his site. Furthermore,
    no other elisting by Thom LaCosta is recognized by me.

    Bottom line: Thom LaCosta's private elisting is NOT ACCURATE, and
    should be discarded as the trash it has always been.

    "I send everything to Ross Cassell."
    - Thom LaCosta

    --Lee

    -=end quote=-

    The same applies to Ben Ritchey's private elisting.
    And to all other private elistings.

    No private elisting has any official status in fidonet.
    And for good reason. The current elisting/echolisting
    that is being used/misused is terribly inaccurate, and
    is a form of censorship.

    You have no basis to make demands that I leave.
    You have no basis to make demands that Tim Richardson leaves.
    You have no basis to make demands that anybody else leaves.

    You are not the official moderator of this echo.
    I am.
    And I like it that way.

    Now go fish.

    "I send everything to Ross." - Thom LaCosta

    No private echolist has any official status in fidonet.
    As such, Thom LaCosta was never in charge of anything.
    And neither is the present monkey, Ben Ritchey.

    It is all a ruse. A deception, designed to give the
    powers that be within zone 1 the appearance of having
    a real say in who is, and is not, allowed to have and
    maintain an echo in fidonet.

    If you want to be a monkey for Ross Cassell, go ahead.
    Nobody is stopping you. Least of all me. Make yourself
    dictator of as many echoes as Ross Cassell will allow
    you to have. Doesn't that make you feel like a big man?
    Oh, my. Kind of like jerking off. Let's see how far
    I can make this fly ...

    Well, I've got news for you -

    I do not need Ross Cassell's permission for anything.
    Not in this world. Or the next (if there is one).

    Now. Excuse me as I have important matters to attend to.
    Such as wrapping Christmas presents.

    Anyone Fido sysop can have their own echo. I invite you to describe how you share moderator and echotag listing and distribute the echo without an echolist.
