AS far as I've seen Barb, none of these men have complained in-person to
the employers of the people they were flaming.  If complaints about this
type of action on your part were included in the many complaints sent to
the freenet about you I'm sure this readily helped the volounteers there
make up their minds.

Now I'm sure you're going to get all bent out of shape and go and try
and sue the freenet.  Let's hope you don't because *that* would be the
most pathetic thing I've ever seen a human being (male or female, let's
make that perfectly clear before you go off on yet *another* senseless
tangentical rant) do.
