Soorree, nothing remotely resembling 'fair', the most flagrant attempt at
control over what someone else does in echoes you dont even moderate.
What a pathetic excuse for a moderator you are Jack.
Soorree, there is a rather novel concept of free speech too, something that
you obviously havent got a clue about Jack.
Only if you try to pull a stunt like that Jack.
Soorree, no echo is anything remotely resembling a 'house' Jack.
Completely and utterly irrelevant to what makes sense with the moderation of
a fido echo Jack. What a pathetic excuse for a moderator.
And you have just a tiny problem that the rules in UFO make absolutely no
mention what so ever that anyone posting there isnt allowed to say anything
about the moderator of UFO outside UFO.
And all you are succeeding in doing is flaunt what an absolutely pathetic
excuse for a moderator you are Jack.
Soorree, nothing remotely resembling 'fair' and is in fact just pathetic
attempt to silence perfectly valid criticism of you.
Dont go holding your breath now. No wonder you had your moderators hat ripped
off with it became obvious what a pathetic excuse for a moderator you are.
I'll think of it as mindless fascism gone completely mad thanks.
And proof in spades of what a pathetic excuse for a moderator you are.
There is also just the tiny matter of you trying to discourage George from
posting in here too. You're completely hopeless Jack.
