51: The MCL has no such requirement. You can be sure that one among the
numerous attorneys on M-Net would have discovered it when we started
having out-of-state directors.

Besides, there doesn't seem to be much concern here when it comes to the
Berne Convention.

Did your campaign manager suggest you use the "pompous asshole" tactic?

Admit to being a troll and nothing more significant than that.

I'm going to become a paying member tonight so I can vote against you.

I love the flip-flop Jamie has done on the DMCA.  A year or so ago
he was into civil disobedience against it, when he posted the DeCSS
code on M-net; now he cites it as his authority when he uses his
back-door root powers to suppress an item in M-net's General conference
which portrays him in an unflattering light.

Let me repeat that for long-time Grexers, just in case you didn't 
get it the first time.

Jamie used his back-door root powers to quash an item in the M-net
conference.  This wasn't ancient history; it was last month.

(er, "...an item in the M-net General conference.")

Again... you are an asshole.

This brings up the topic of speakerphones.  I have now called you an asshole
twice.  See how easy it is to be abrasive in this kind of disconnected
environment.

In person, I *probably* would have only said it once.  


But my expression would have been enough to cover the remainder of my attacks.
Much more efficient.

Hey... I spend my time and energy to point out your personal 
shortcomings so that you can become a better person.

Now, to pause the flame war...

I don't believe you are serious about your candidacy, so I don't see 
why you get angry when I have some fun with you.  The 
miscellaneous "shitdick" comments scream your tongue-in-cheek attitude 
toward being elected.

A candidate should be prepared for mudslinging in this day and age, but 
you provide your own mud.  

Calling me an asshole shows a lack of public relations etiquette not to 
mention a hot-headed attitude that makes you unlikely to be able to 
handle pressure.

I can call you an asshole in a public forum becuase I'm not a candidate.

Asshole.

Heheheh.  How quickly grex flares to Jamie.

Grex has policies that directly violate Federal and international
law, and that open it to a lawsuit that could result in the dissolution
of the company...are you sure your money would be well-spent?

As a matter of fact, I would ask whether the current regime is "serious"
when they continue to support policies which they have been told by people
much more knowledgable about copyright law than I are illegal.

Jamie is not saying the same things as Phil.  I wonder if Phil knows any of
the board members...

Well, whatever they're serious about, it obviously isn't the law.

Is this a "principled stand" against capitalistic copyright laws that the 
Board is undertaking?
