Shofar FTP Archive File: people/g/giwer.matt/net-abuse/complaints-to-root


Matt Giwer has taken to complaining that "holohuggers" (people he doesn't
agree with) are "complaining to root."  However, the evidence he has
collected doesn't, er, contain any email sent to his root.  This is
another case where one has to wonder if this is a troll, or just
stupidity.

By the way, Mr. Giwer has complained to _my_ ISP's root about my
(accidentally) sending him two copies of an email.  Doesn't bother me
particularly, but it seems apropos:
http://www.almanac.bc.ca/cgi-bin/ftp.pl?people/g/giwer.matt/email-voyager-root

Anyway, below are the articles where Mr. Giwer reproduces the emails
which he _says_ were sent to root@netcom.com, but which, er, weren't...

        Amazing here.  

        After having their "declaration of submission" thrown back in their face
the holohuggers have decided to resort to complaints to ROOT.  I have
gotten my third in the last six hours, of course with a CC to me as a
threat.  

        The only thing they have not made pubic yet is the strategy session they
indulged in.  

        For example here is the first and only email from OBC himself which
arrived as I was creating this message,

        As you can see, these folks, these amateurs, these children, are trying
to create an incident they can exploit as net abuse.

        These holohuggers are trying to create an issue to get poor little minus
163 IQ me.  And of course they fail as usual.  

        But what the hell, they are holohuggers.  No one expects honesty from
them.  Nor when they put their collective heads together does anything
but the lowest common denominator appear.

        You will note that this lying bastard son of a something or other
insists upon creating an issue where there is no issue.

        And you will note that it contradicts the previous clain that complaints
to root would be unethical.

        Yes, holohuggers are unethical.  And, they lie.  But of course to
support the holocaust they have to be liars.

Cross-posted to news.admin.net-abuse.misc;  emailed "FYI" to various
people whom Giwer calls "hijackers" and several pro-free-speech
acquaintances of mine, as well as Mr. Giwer himself of course.

Matt Giwer states proudly and publicly that his goal is to take
alt.revisionism and "make it useless" to everyone with whom he
disagrees.
He has so far tried to accomplish this chiefly through sheer posting
volume.  Quite an upstanding net.citizen is Mr. Giwer!
