He is not blasting; he is protesting vigorously. And he is a bit sensitive, having been dragged off to SI jail because of an honest mistake that summoned the spambot while Emile Vidrine is, I dislike to say this, posting something "unfresh," if you know what I mean. What he is posting is really out there on the fringe, the kind of thing that one reads in the diaries of people who go out and do horrible things. I don't think that Emile is likely to do anything horrible, please do not misunderstand me. But what he posts is inciting. Okay, on threads where this is acceptable and understood at the beginning, fine. But he takes it to other threads, where the participants keep pushing him away or demanding he support his premises, which he does not. I think that Chuzz was finally so horrified that he just yelled! He has not been subjected to this creature's ravings as long as others who have been on "feelies" for a while. He is shocked and appalled and reacting with these emotions. His reactions are not inappropriate. (BTW, if you wish to check my veracity and sense of balance, check with Steven Rogers, jbe, Sherry Fox, Jorj X. McKie, et al.) Be a good admininstrator. Never mind your personal reactions, O.K.? You are feeling a bit defensive. Well, having been seized by the spambot, so is he and feeling royally pissed at seeing this kind of thing waltzing around on the threads while he was in SI jail. Not a problem: I know this man and he is an extraordinarily decent person. Just let him know you are on the case and aware. Nothing defensive or snippy, just thanks for calling it to my attention. He's an adult; he'll be glad to know that someone is checking out a fully justified complaint.

This piece of filth has been hiding behind the racist ravings of others for some time. Apparently you believe that it is alright to simply cut and paste the racism produced by others, and that somehow absolves SI from the responsibility it imposed on itself under its terms of use. That is claptrap and you know it. Emile Vidrine is evil. And he spreads his venom on your watch with your acquiescence. This is your responsibility, and I am calling on you to exercise it. Do your duty. CTC

Bob, Here are the applicable SI terms of use: B. You agree not to use the service for illegal purposes or for the transmission of material that is unlawful, harassing, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, tortious, improper or otherwise objectionable, or that infringes or may infringe the intellectual property or other rights of another. D. You agree that Silicon Investor in its sole discretion may remove posts by you or terminate your account if it believes that you may have in any way violated the Terms of Use. Do you believe that Vidrine's poison is not covered by B, and that D gives you the right to terminate his account at your sole discretion? If so, perhaps we need a clearer reading of what constitutes objectionable, and by whom. CTC

Bob, Does the SI staff read Private Messages for laughs when they get bored? How private are they? How many people have access to them? Thank you, keep up the good work
