Yes I have. I've made that quite clear. No one.

Let's be clear on this too. There's no suggestion that this is what I'm
doing. And I'd hope you'd go to the trouble of emailing me. So what are
you trying to say? That my actions may led to the slippery slope argument
(always a dubious one IMO, but let's leave that ride)?

What would I do?

I'd write and ask you why. If you responded "because we don't like you"
then I'd write and tell you that wasn't an acceptable reason and if
you continued I'd complain to the supplier of your account.

If I got no reply, or the actions continued, I'd complain to the supplier
of your account. If I had no joy there, I'd publish wahat was happening in
nz.net.admin. Continue to document what was going on, and periodically
report it to the supplier of your account and nz.net.admin.

If there was still no joy, I'd open a new account under a new name, and
post from there. With occasional postings from my old account, monitoring
what was going on.
