\_ no ballot-stuffing, please
\_ Wow! You're STILL grinding the axe over paolo vs. the motd almost
3 years later! You Win the 'I Have No Life' award!
\_ what's the paolo controversy? -noob
\_ Actually, the paolo controversy involved paolo auto-deleting
the motd.
\_ Post September 11, 2001, some lovely motd denizen posted
some hateful Anti-Arab trash, something related to hunting
down and killing or something else just as enlightened.
A number of people were upset about this, some of whom are
of Arab descent. The politburo, led by paolo as the
president at the time, decided to turn off the motd for a
few days as a 'cooling down.' A couple of fuckwits who
don't understand the 1st amendment started carping about
'free speech,' and that's the paolo controversy. I
believe there was also the issue that the motd was publicly
accessible through the CSUA web site.
\_ yes, this caused the motd.public (formermly at
<DEAD>soda/motd<DEAD> to be pulled down. And wasn't some
script of paolo's also the origin of the no auto-
editting of the motd edict?
\_ I believe kchang was squished for auto-editing the
motd. I remember paolo was also criticized for
having a script, but there was some controversy over
his non-squshing.
\_ Yes, kchang was squished for an offense paolo was
not squished for. I believe either paolo should
be squished, or kchang unsquished, in the interests
of fairness. The amount of time that has passed
since the incident isn't really relevant -- unfair
is unfair. That paolo didn't volunteer to have this
cleared up in some way doesn't speak well for him.

\_ Cool. tom and ilyas probably form a united front
on an issue.
\_ So, how similar or different were kchang and
paolo's actions? Also, kchang is unsquished.
\_ Are you dissing paolo because he hasn't asked the
CSUA to squish him? That seems a pretty stiff
moral standard.
\_ Please don't feed him his lines like that. It's
embarassing to both of you.
\_ Rigid beliefs. -- ilyas
\_ In SOVIET RUSSIA, PAOLO squishes YOU!
\_ The fact that you think this matters speaks
volumes.
\_ IIRC, kchang was squished for numerous offences,
not just auto-editing.
\_ that's right, it was also for harrassment
\_ That you censored all the responses to your
statement doesn't speak well for you.
\_ You forgot to mention the person whose complaints led
to the motd ban happened to be sleeping with Paolo at
the time.
\_ I fail to see how this really matters, general
jealousy about paolo not being a virgin aside.
\_ Can paolo be impartial adjudging a claim brought
by his girlfriend?
\_ I think that makes me respect him MORE.
\_ Was this also the cause of the motd no longer

I don't believe in abusing power, even with no consequences: .. |
