<heh> The amusing clown's a computer illiterate nutter. He failed to send me e-mail he claims he sent me and he continues to send me duplicate e-mails to the point where my spam filters start kicking in and removing the duplicates. I told the guy that he's sending me duplicates but that didn't stop him.

Any way, my automated records show that he requested seven text files from the offline archives and a check shows that the one I examined was a complete cult text so all need to be examined and whatever needs to be reduced will be reduced. Most of the documents he named contain _debunkings_ that were written by FidoNet HolySmoke echo participants like 10 years ago.

The automated mailings of content has been suspended until my staff and I can examine the criticism however the IRC cult has been blocked off from access to the archives due to their blatant lies and groundless threats. What I'll do is inform the cult that those texts that didn't contain criticism or were complete have been modified when they've all been examined.

While the texts are being reworked I'll place something else in their stead.

I've also heard back from one of the other organizations he claimed are also some how violating the cult's copyrights and I find that the nutter has not yet contacted that organization but that they'll be on the lookout for the cultist's e-mail.
