   If any of you are surpised by Ward's filthy language, he's been talking   
   like this about me for the past 25 years.  This is no surprise to me as he   
   hates me passionately for my citizenship and politics are not like his and   
   it makes him hate me so.  The best thing to do is just to ignore him and his   
   ilk; once you quit feeding their egos they will go elsewhere to get the   
   attention they so desire.   
      
   Ward is a pain everywhere he appears and often uses backhanded tactics to   
   gain illicit access to areas he doesn't belong or just plain threatens   
   people until they give in.   
      
   Ward has no power in this echo and don't let him make you think he does.   
      
   That is why I am relentlessly moderating him so Ward realizes that unless he   
   cleans up his act, I do not want him here.   
      
   If he threatens you in private (which he has been known to do), just ignore   
   him.  Ward misses the zone wars of the late 90s and he still thinks that   
   being a zone coordinator--which is nothing more than an overglorified   
   nodelist clerk--gives him some sense of power in this now-decentralized   
   network.   
      
   I recommend using a twit filter if you are able to; it'll make   
   participating in Fidonet much more enjoyable since the Fidonet   
   administration is neutered in every way and cannot police their own.   
      
   This is the last I will mention this in the echo publicly.   
      
   I apologize for the filthy language being used in here by Ward and possibly   
   others but I will do my best to stop this.
