No, I do not say that. What I say is, let's take a look with interdisciplinary
help and find out what could be done in such dead-end situations. I find a
remarkable fact that exactly you, Bob, who is just aiming at the factual truth
of matters and who never showed any positive reactions when I spoke of the
necessary meta debate and who bashed me just for the fact that I'm a CC newbie,
that I'll always remain BTW, that you now try to define me as the one who simply
would teach you that all what you did and said in CC were nonsense. Now this
would be really crazy.

But I have a totally different view. I know that you are the best of traditional
CC, I would never dare to criticise you on that sector. The point is that I
_only_ criticise when you are trying to confound the factual truth of over 40
years CC with the eternally possible no matter how hard ever tried with whatever
energy! The latter is simply the ace in my sleeves! But not a forbidden trick,
it's just science. Interdisciplinary. Wider focus. Meta level.

Please do no longer bash me as if I had __ever__ told you that you did a bad job
in your own field. I never did it and continually I repeated that I didn't. But
perhaps for you this was just ramble. This is not my fault.

Bob! Please! This is exactly what I could do! If something can't be solved _IN_
the defined region we must find solutions with  _OUTSIDE_ help. Often
brainstorming could be of great help. What you see as ramble is just talking on
a meta level. Of course it's nothing you've ever heard because traditional CC
did never talk about. But it would also be a big mistake if you interpreted me
now as if I'd said that I would be the "fixed star" of the meta CC. What I only
can do is showing the need of opening traditional CC to be able to solve certain
problems. But even the solution itself is then not my business since I'm not an
expert in CC.

So, to sum up. If someone is happy inside CC. Without any problems whatsoever.
Then he could easily ignore me. But thise who think that something isn't working
- _altough_ the'd tried hard just to the limit all what's possibl in traditional
CC - only these folks should start to think about me and my contributions. But
perhaps I must deceive even these searchers because I'm alone writing about such
things and I know that I know nothing! Perhaps my limits will motivate some to
find better solutions. This is how it works.

Why stigmatizing the minimal chance that something new could result? Why
defining something as noise or ramble if it's by definition no talking about
technologically daily questions?

I doubt that I ever said it. But you are absolutely correct.

No, he talked about the actual job I had in his imagination. I quoted it for you
already several times: steered underground assassinate for CSS, that is the mag
of Friedel&Steinwender. Know what I mean? This is what I called character
assassination.

Whining is you wording. The problem for me and many in CTF too was that I got
automatic response that my invoice was successful, I speak of the autonatic
moderator email, and the moderators didn't get the message. Many in CTF had the
same prob. Talking about such technical details is not "whining" IMO. Excuase
me.

The automatic response system said that email was sent to you = three
moderators.

No! I did never do such a nasty job. But here is what you had written:

">If you start to demand moderation policy changes,
>it is very possible that _you_
>will be the first recipient of those changes..."

This contains a clear threat. And therefore I state that I do NOT want to change
politics here. What I want is the same good treatment everybody gets. Pordzik
abused me personally with his personal attacks. And he should be allowed to do
this.

As I said. In CTF the topic came up and then one of the mods explained that the
automatic moderator email system should be down at times. What that means in
effect must be clearer to you than me! Please do no longer think that I invent
here mysty problems!
