But that is a different NG; it has nothing to do with this NG and is off
topic. kb9rqz and len anderson are often off topic, thus they support a
fellow troublemaker (John Smith) when he posts off topic.

Any post which mentions any newsgroup(s) and/or moderator(s) of such
newsgroups who might influence POLICY for their own benefit, wants,
and desires and need to be watched is RIGHT ON TOPIC in my humble
opinion ...

The british viewed out forefathers as "troublemakers", Martin Luther
King was viewed as a troublemaker, Caesar Chavez was viewed as a
troublemaker, Ghandi was viewed as a troublemaker, those ending child
labor were viewed a troublemakers--yanno, the term "troublemaker" just
does NOT offend me in the least, indeed, I'll take that as a
complement.

The thread you started was an unprovoked, ad nominem attack on several good
people, not all of whom I have always agreed with but all of whom demand a
lot more respect than your and your buddies do, based on your (mis)
behaviour on this NG.

It is my understanding that "public figures" (and, public newsgroup
moderators) are not granted the same expectation of privacy as common
everyday joes. Indeed, the position they seek to place themselves in,
where they can affect common/everyday joes, demands they have no such
consideration.

Public figures are meant to be watched, criticized, and their motives
examined in microscopic detail. Their character, caliber, actions,
speech, etc. is wide open to review and re-review. They are open to
dress and redress by the public who they wish to serve. Such is
democratic republic. Such responsibility they willing accept when
they attempt to gain a position of influence ...

If they wish to be unknown hermits, that demands another course be
followed ...
