Wow. Shocking.

Why did you expect him to talk to you?

Sounds like Jack is a smart person. He knows who you are.

How does it feel to be SUCH an asshole? A normal, rational person would
learn something from routinely being banned from moderated discussion
groups/forums. But you are a delusional, paranoid,
incapable-of-learning-anything dipshit who STILL believes that people who
won’t talk to you are “hiding something”.

Take the hint from Jack. You are not wanted. Try just dealing with it
for a change, instead of doing your usual stalking/sliming/harassing with a
new target.

Will you soon be posting Jack’s address here? Posting info about his
server? Trying to find out how much money he makes?

This MID refers, Joerg:-

Message-ID: <q4kEM.686427$TPw2.521078@fx17.iad>

Poster 'Jack' from W10 posted a message on the 'news.myplugbox.net
server - into the 'Server Requests' group.

(It was removed by the Winston Troll - a disgraced Microsoft MVP)

It's called social intercourse.

I'm fine with Jack knowing WHO I am.

(but not in him believing what other folk falsely CLAIM I am!)

You should know, Bob. You are the one who deals in lies.

It's not just Jack who can witness your attempt at manipulation.

Why don't *YOU* explain to Jack that the reason I was banned from using
that server was because I pointed out to the naive users of the server
that there is *NO* 'protection' provided to any of the newsgroup users.

EVERYTHING posted on the Plugbox server can be reviewed by the server
owner who can also, of course, use Kali or similar to determine any
weaknesses in their on-line security. My concern was/is that such
vulnerable folk, and their computers, might be co-opted into a Botnet
and that they'd be none-the-wiser.
