Wait! Don't go! This isn't spam! Please! Just listen!
Yes, it looks very spammy to me....
I sent similar emails to other lists and was promptly scalded for
being so uncouth. I thank those who encourage me to stop spamming
for teaching me humility. However, I think the importance of global
self awareness is too important to worry about whether or not we
like to know about the problems. This is the equivalent of a
hit-and-run, in my opinion. I am here to stay, I am not going
anywhere and the world will become self-aware in my presence. It is
why I have been born.
You are a delusion dipshit, and a bad liar.
If you feel so righteous about your cause, why did you hijack another
thread without changing the subject?
With all the respect that is due to you, and all others who frequent
these mailing lists, I feel the topic of global voting is too
important to worry about whether or not my particular message fits
into a defined category.
And you think it's OK to *STEAL* other people's resources to get
"your" message out, apparently.
Hmm. Stealing. Taking without consent. Consent from whom? The network
operator? According to the Debian website: "There are many world-open
mailing lists, meaning anyone can read everything that is posted, and
participate in the discussions. Everyone is encouraged..." - Under the
heading Introduction: http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/
Yes, *STEALING*. When you 'hijack' the resources the mailing-list owner/
operator has provided _for_a_specific_purpose_, for somethin *unrelated*
to that purpose, you _are_ stealing.
I would like to invite the mail list administrator to participate in
this discussion (if desired) and clarify for all whether this argument
is "OK." If it is not "OK," I request some clarification.
Doing what you did is *expressly* against The AUP of your hosting
services provider, Webfusion, Ltd.
<http://www.123-reg.co.uk/terms/aup.shtml>
Yes. Words. Somehow, it is commonly accepted that just because
something is written in words that it is "right." My emails challenge
that.
You _agreed_, _contractually_, to abide by those 'words' when you signed
up for services with that provider. They 'took your word' that you were
telling the truth. Do not be surprised if you find that they choose not
to do any further business with you when they find out you -lied- to them.
In fact, I did not agree to that. The agreement is between me and
another company who I obtain the service from. Obviously, the company
you mention are the ones who provide the actual service, and the brand I
used is clearly a middle-man. If they are in violation, I do not know
about it. Still, this is irrelevant as it has nothing to do with my
ability to post to these lists.
That said, you've _made_ your rules, and now *you8 get to live by them.
I do not understand this statement. Please clarify.
You didn't clarify.
Russian brides, pharmaceutcals, watches, lottery winnings, money
sharing, and whatever else people decide is 'too important' for
_you_ not to be informed of.
You see, the people who raise awareness of their product or service are
after one thing - to increase the number which is displayed on their ATM
machine. I do not want money. I do not promote a service or product. In
fact, I promote an IDEA - the notion that we can abandon money
altogether.
So What? If you believe you can decide what is 'appropriate' for for _my_
mail box, others can do the same for *yours*.
No, that's not what I am saying. Everyone has the right to control what
appears in their mail box. Only by raising awareness of the possibility
that a world without money can exist will it ever come to fruition, and
by speaking or writing to others on this planet I am able to let them
know they can still educate themselves.
But, then, you're a spammer.
Try not to think of me as someone different.
You _are_ different. *PROVEN* by your actions.
I am the same as you. We are both sending mail to these lists, and we
are discussing. Your actions are not that different from mine.
And someone I do -not_ care to associate with.
Then don't reply to my emails.
I am someone the same.
Demonstratably incorrect.
Thank you for teaching me to expand the context of my sentences. I
value when people teach me the error of my ways, and I do not see it as
damaging to my ego. Instead, I feel enlightened, knowing full well that
I am now aware of what I was doing wrong, and I can make a change inside
of me.
