Not asking you to repeat yourself. I don't see that one question
was mutually exclusive of the other. I am asking for a clear, straightforward
explanation of you posts and assertions.
<p>I am referring to this statement you made in a previous post in this
thread, which was response to my request to cease and desist with accusations
and back biting (bickering) concerning your bot - thepfy:
<p><tt> Sorry Ron, I'm a bit confused. Which do you think should

<br><tt> thing to cease and desist:</tt>
<br><tt> 1) Abusive behavior in an evolt public place</tt>
<br><tt> 2) bots which report it</tt><tt></tt>
<p>to which i replied:<tt></tt>
<p><tt> neither. the accusations and back biting that
have</tt>
<br><tt> been going on for several months now.</tt><tt></tt>
<p><tt> but since you mention it, i thought your bot was for</tt>
<br><tt> learning and troubleshooting!</tt><tt></tt>
<p>you have repeatedly stated that your bot was for learning and troubleshooting.
here you very strongly imply that your bot was to find and report
abusive behavior. the bickering i was asking to be halted was about
your bot being kicked off the IRC channel for logging the channel without
peoples knowledge.
<p>i would like an explanation of your actions and posts here on the mail
lists, and in the IRC channel, about this situation. no more double
talk, no more dancing. i want to know what you were thinking, what
you are trying to accomplish and why we are once again in a turmoil with
you in the middle.
