BK>>Your taglines included personal attacks.

 TR> No...they didn't. They were only Otto's own words. The vast
 TR> majority of which he wishes he never said. But they were
 TR> *his* words.

 If he had said them in the Debate echo that would have been one
 thing. That you brought them in from another echo violated the
 rules. And they were personal attacks.

 Here are the appropriate rules from the Debate Echo.
 **************************************************************************

 8. Cross-posting is allowed.  It should be either complementing
 an existing thread or starting a thread suitable for this echo.
 See #11.  Do not start dragging personal vendettas ("crap")
 from other echoes over here. See #6 & 7.

 9. Don't bite on taglines, whether they are on point are not;
 they are only taglines. Taglines shall not be used as a back
 door to flames. See #2 above.

 **************************************************************************

BK>>They were provocations,

 TR> He hated seeing them. Too bad.

 They were ruled out of order by the moderators. Whether you like
 it or not, that's the rule for Fido.

BK>>and the rules specifically banned that. You admit you broke the
BK>>rules. Nuff said.

 TR> I broke no rules. Sauer didn't like his own words coming

 They were ruled out of order. That's the rule in Fido, you don't
 get to decide the rules.

 TR> back to haunt him, and you saw a way to get rid of someone
 TR> you strongly dislike. Plain and simple. Nuff said.

 Tell the truth. You were given plenty of warning. You repeatedly
 violated the rules, as decided by the moderator, after being
 warned.

 After you were banned you posted in the echo several times, and
 some of those times were not even moderated. On top of that,
 after the last time you were invited to rejoin the echo, as long
 as you were willing to abide by the rules.

 You never responded to the invitation.

 You were given every opportunity to be in the echo, you chose to
 defy the moderator decisions, then not even show the courtesy to
 reply to the invitation.

 And that's "nuff said".
