That is an outright lie.  Back it up (by documenting this alleged
"specific threat") or retract.

That is a lie.  A quick visit to:

http://www.almanac.bc.ca/cgi-bin/ftp.pl?people/g/giwer.matt/net-abuse/followups-empty

and

http://www.almanac.bc.ca/cgi-bin/ftp.pl?people/g/giwer.matt/net-abuse/followups-one-liner

should make that clear.

Your response was deleted, as you obviously misunderstood the
allegation, presumably because you did not bother to access the URL
which documented it:

  "I can and will come in under another name that is not killfiled. 
   You folks have proven yourselves so freaking dumb that I can do
   anything I want to show what idiots you are."

The "mind control freaks" are those of us who want to discuss
revisionism but who do not agree with Mr. Giwer.  Mr. Giwer refers
to these people as "hijackers."

http://www.almanac.bc.ca/cgi-bin/ftp.pl?people/g/giwer.matt/net-abuse/make-it-useless

If he could produce a single piece of evidence that we "hijackers" are
"mind control freaks," or that we "hijackers" want to make the
conference "useless" to our ideological opponents, he might have a case.
 He can't, so he doesn't.  In fact, there was a short thread a month or
so ago in which several of us "hijackers" expressed thanks for Usenet
and other means of open expression, so that Nazis could make fools of
themselves in public.  If challenged, I'll dig up an archive of or a URL
for this thread.

On the other hand, we have Matt Giwer admitting that "making it useless"
is exactly what he intends to do to _his_ ideological opponents.

That is a lie.  Back it up or retract.

Since you claim we have bragged about doing these things, it should be
exceptionally easy for you to back up your statement.  However, you
cannot, as it is a lie.

>    You folks have publically posted about email planning as to the best way
> to get people to leave the conference.  

That is a lie.  Back it up or retract.

Again, here are the URLs backing up _my_ claims about _Giwer_.

"Censored"?  That is a lie, since every post Mr. Giwer have made to
alt.revisionism over the last six months (or more) is archived.  See
http://www.almanac.bc.ca/cgi-bin/ftp.pl?people/g/giwer.matt .

"Altered"?  That is a lie.  Back it up or retract.

That is a lie.  Back it up or retract.

That is a lie (unless one uses a ridiculously loose meaning for the
term "spamming").  Back it up or retract.

>    You fail to note that the posts to this conference are in fact one more

That is a lie.  Back it up or retract.

That is a lie.  Nobody wants to stop responses.  I would like to see
some useful discussion going on.  As I have said publicly many times, I
do not want to see an end to discussion or to revisionists posting their
viewpoints, because they are their own worst enemies.  We very much want
them to discuss matters with us, and we want to discuss matters with
them.

What I and we would like to see end, is the flooding of the newsgroup to
the point where it is so busy as to be useless for such discussion.

>    Jamie, me boy, you folks are simply getting a dose of what you have been

"Bragging" again.  So this too should be exceptionally easy to document.
Yet you don't.  It's a lie.  Back it up or retract.

>         You folks have bluntly referred to it as "our conference"

That is a lie (assuming that by "you folks" you mean only
anti-revisionists -- the group should "belong" to anyone who wishes
to discuss revisionism, which by your own admission does not include
you, Mr. Giwer).  Back it up or retract.

>    You are a liar, Jamie.  I can not change that.  You can change that.  

I have presented the URLs which back up what I say.  I invite the reader
to browse them:

http://www.almanac.bc.ca/cgi-bin/ftp.pl?people/g/giwer.matt/net-abuse
http://www.almanac.bc.ca/cgi-bin/ftp.pl?people/g/giwer.matt/lies

Mr. Giwer fails to present anything to back up his outrageous assertions.

Make up your own mind.

        Nice tantrum but nothing I have posting is outrageous.  What is
outrageous is that they are all true of Nizkor.

In article <4qvge0$kfb@dfw-ixnews7.ix.netcom.com>, Matt Giwer
(mgiwer@ix.netcom.com) quoted my entire article exposing the lies which
he used to try to defend his outrageous abuse of Usenet.

He then replied:

> Nice tantrum but nothing I have posting is outrageous.  What is
> outrageous is that they are all true of Nizkor.  

He then threw on a 15-line sig, just for spam's sake (see
http://www.almanac.bc.ca/cgi-bin/ftp.pl?people/g/giwer.matt/net-abuse/followups-empty
for 300 KB of more examples of this).

That was the total of his reply.

In short, Mr. Giwer's response is "I know you are but what am I."

OK.
