Grex Oldcoop Conference

Item 154: Incompetence.

Entered by atlantic on Tue Mar 16 01:37:53 2004:

gelinas deleted a copy of MY OWN "password" FILE, and replaced it with the
following non-sense:

{{ We don't allow the publication of *anyone's* password file.  Gelinas. }}

He is incompetent.

  {Elision of another password file or excerpt thereof.  -gelinas.}}

On the contrary, I'd say he is excelling at pissing you off, which 
is proof of his competence in serving Grex.

Erica, you know that's not going to help Grex.  It's silly to think that
harming people would.

#4 of 20 by atlantic on Tue Mar 16 02:02:32 2004:

It should be noted that gelinas is now replacing my complaints about him with
claims that he's replacing /etc/passwd files.

I didn't see that coming, fer sure, dood.

He's also modifying parts of my posts to reply to things I said in them,
instead of using typical BBS procedures.  see 0 for an eg.

Oops.  That last post is wrong, atlantic!  Global warming's making you TOO
HOT and you're making mistakes in your anger!

You mean the ones where he has set his name to "This post is a violation
of Grex's General Principle"?  So far as I can tell, they don't; he merely
claims that they are.

We already know it is.  What precisely do you plan on doing if he admits it?

#15 of 20 by gelinas on Tue Mar 16 21:02:49 2004:

I guess I misunderstood your question.

His recent misbehaviour does not violatge the recently-approved policy
on item deletion because it does not involve item deletion.

As been explained several times, his recent misbehaviour does violate
long-standing policies and procedures.  Accordingly, his items *could*
be deleted under the recently-approved policy, but I've been taking a
route suggested during the disucssion of the policy and removing the
offending text in a manner that should cause the least disruption.

> this is a tyrannical dictatorship

Long live the king.

If polytarp wants to compromise his machines' security, that is his problem.
So long as he does not solicit others to compromise other machines.
