Post by Theobold WatcherPost by Phil Kyleaccused a new and innocent poster, Lyrics Lover, of being a "sock". As
"3) You only post to d.l. and x-post to where your retard 'friends' do."
It is impossible to X-post in demon.local using Individual.net, which
is the NSP Lyrics Lover uses.
This is true. Each message to a different group must be sent
individually.
Post by Phil KyleNeil Barker must retract his lie. The clock is ticking.
This is also true. I append some messages once posted in similar
circumstances so Barker cannot claim he is ignorant of the dilemma in

You are hereby served notice that you have 48 hours from the date of
this posting to apologise and retract that comment, before I then take
further action against you for defamation with your ISP and then further
if I feel it to be necessary.
Do not underestimate my willingness to do this. I take your libellous
remark extremely seriously. (Neil Barker)
===========================================================
"Well, he'd better not go too quiet, as if I have not seen a full
retraction and apology in these two newsgroups by Sunday evening then
his ISP will be receiving a complain on Monday morning. If he does not
then respond to his ISP, telling him to apologise to me,
then his ISP will then receive a solicitor's letter to forward on to
him. It's his choice." - Neil Barker

Whilst that miscreant continues to post to dl in an unacceptable way
(and ukfdm fail to support dl in its clear intention to protect its
standards) I'm afraid that, if anything, it will get worse..
(Keith) =======================================================
Unfortunately another person (also migrating from ukfdm) has posted a
defamatory remark, accusing a dler of 'forging'.
This is untenable. The person concerned really must reconsider their
position.. (Keith)
====================================================
Don't underestimate Neil, he WILL go to court if necessary. - Steve
Barlow =========================================
In which circumstance a certain person should consider their position.
Seppuku is no longer an acceptable option.. - Keith
========================================
*How* it happened is not important. It may be considered mitigation. But
the deed - posting an accusation of forgery [in this case Barker posted
an accusation of crossposting] - requires recognising as defamatory and
a suitable retraction posted to usenet. And the clock is ticking... -
(Keith) ======================================
I have been publicly and falsely accused of something I have not done.
Something which is defamatory to my character. Thus, a full public
retraction is necessary. If it is not forthcoming, I *will* take it
further. It's his choice. (Neil Barker)
=====================================
[/END OF HELPFUL MESSAGES]
It is now up to you, Barker. The clock is ticking.
Well, these quotes may make Barker look silly. And he's never done that
before.
