Robert Manning's Mantra:
>I am a TFN user
>I am a *co-operative* community participant
>I am not a mooch - I am willing to help with the bills for my FREE service
>I am not self indulgent - I have the capacity to *share*
>I am not deluded - money is paper and paper wipes my ass
>I am willing to look for sponsors and patrons rather than bitch/grandstand


First the Freenet must remain FREE.
People must be free to do as they please.
And No fees or tiered access thanks. Here
is Manning's TFN Mantra TRANSLATED:


>I am a TFN user
- He is a affluent middle class male computer
  buff who wishes to keep this little club to
  himself and his little gang of geek buddies.

>I am a *co-operative* community participant
- He is someoone who would smear and attempt
  to ruin anyone who did not agree with his
  idea of morality and reality.

>I am not a mooch - I am willing to help with the bills for my FREE
>service
- He has money to spare and is willing to shut
  out anyone who doesn't just so he and his
  buddies can keep this club private and well
  under their bogoid grip.

>I am not self indulgent - I have the capacity to *share*
- He is a moralistic fuckead, quick to judge
  varying opinions and willing to infringe anyone's
  precious civil liberties and human rights if it
  suits him.

>I am not deluded - money is paper and paper wipes my ass
- He is mistaking toilet paper for currency
  as he is mistaking moronic ideas for the
  truth... seems to be a TFN charachter trait.
  Should be very interesting to see who these
  fucks elect. And to see if these fucks have,
  for once, been outmaneuvered.

>I am willing to look for sponsors and patrons rather than
>bitch/grandstand
- He has had many years to find sponsors spouting
  the same dogmatic, weary assed bullshit as the
  Toronto Freenet has become renowned for. And
  he had 1.5 million bucks of donations and money
  to help. AND the turkey is still on the verge of
  bankrupcy.

  Give it the fuck up Manning. Your ideas and your
  gang have had plenty of time to run the Toronto
  Freenet into the ground. Why do you think that
  these sorry excuses for thoughts you spout would
  work now? When they failed so miserably over the
  last X years.

  What a joke.
