Z1C Election Conspiracy
* By Joe Jared 1:103/301@fidonet joejared@fidonews.webworldinc.com

To those of you confused, this is a response to the participants of the super_bitch echo. As soon as a full archive is made available to me, I'm quite sure I will be sickened even more by some of our participants in the z1_election echo, but in the mean time some changes have been made to this article to complete a few thoughts, seeing as my tosser stole the message out from under me and sent it upstream before it could be completed. To continue...

I just finished reading 80 messages in the super_bitch echo, and am completely discusted with the lack of maturity of you individuals. Anyone who has actively participated in that echo at the level I've seen will be cut if their post attacks a candidate in any way and is dated after June 12th.

In particular:

Ruth Argust:
Get a life. If you think anything you do would change my opinion of any candidate, you need to rethink things. Even before reading that echo I suspected what you were up to, and sent notices to you. In your case, the date is June 11. In particular, your coordination of this effort to ruin this election is something that at some level should require punishment. Fortunately for you, this is echomail, but your tampering with the election is something that should be considered at bare minimum, annoying. My own personal choice of who I would want Has no bearing on this. Fair is fair, and what you are doing is wrong. Additionally, as Douglas Myers posted, I think you should consider the fact that a year ago, when we in region 10 were all fighting against a conspiracy to have you excommunicated, you in turn have become a conspirator.

"Lesley-Dee" Dylan:
Your proposed attacks of Dallas Hinton because Todd is "dead in the water" will result in you being treated in like manner.

Other participants in the super_bitch echo:
Guilt by association. If anyone of you participating in this echo berates, baits, taunts, or otherwise attacks a candidate, you will be cut from z1_election. As soon as my archives of that echo are received, I will start taking names out of it. If I find less than honorable participation you will be put on notice one time and then cut.

Douglas Myers:
Thank you for your high road message. I would suggest that you disassociate yourself from the participants of the super_bitch echo, so that at bare minumum, you could get a fair shake at the election. What they are doing isn't fair, and isn't right. Then again, who knows what I find in the entire super_bitch archive. If you were active then, and ultimately chose to take the "high road", my hat's off to you.

Summary:
The participants of the super_bitch echo owe Zone 1 an appology. Whether or not it will ever be seen is questionable, but it's a debt owed. You couldn't have thought even in your wildest imaginations that you would get away with this, could you? Seriously!
