 In addition to the many, possibly
 hundreds of phoney Toronto FreeNet
 accounts there is strong indications
 that dozens of bogus account citywide
 wre created by the same persons.

 These accounts have been used not
 only to post fraudulant votes during
 the past TFN elections. They were used
 for dirty tricks campaigns directed
 against candidates, volunteers and
 critics of TFN and TFCN (Toronto
 Free Community Network). These dirty
 tricks involved faked discussions
 on Usenet newsgroups, on IRC and
 in E-Mail flood campaigns.

 The most disturbing possiblity
 is the Dirty Tricks campaign may
 even have involved the sending of
 illegal materals under forged headers
 to implicate or smear innocent persons.

 You may ask your self why would any
 decent person do such things - or -
 what would anyone gain by such bad
 activities. First we are dealing with
 damaged and not very healthy people.
 Second there is plenty to gain when
 you understand the value of TFN and
 community networking in our future.
