Z1C Candidate Evaluations
|
||
Douglas Myers
|
||
|
||
This is an attempt at an objective evaluation of the candidates for
|
||
Zone 1 Coordinator in the election currently in progress. Readers
|
||
may question the objectivity of one of the candidates offering
|
||
evaluations of himself and others. Offhand, I'd say this is a
|
||
healthy suspicion... you be the judge. Candidates are discussed in
|
||
the order the Election Coordinator processed their nomination.
|
||
|
||
Douglas Myers - Doug was initially nominated by a group discontent
|
||
with the closed elections by the RCs in the past. This issue,
|
||
however, has become less prominent because of the willingness of the
|
||
RCs to conduct this election in an open format. He is the only
|
||
candidate who is not currently an NC or RC with Fidonet, but offers
|
||
ZC experience with a small FTSC network. Doug's suitability was
|
||
questioned early in the campaign by suspicions that he was directing
|
||
a mudslinging campaign employing some contraversial supporters, the
|
||
SUPER-BITCHES. At this point, however, those suspicions seem to be
|
||
discredited and there is no noticable effect on his candidacy. The
|
||
theme of Doug's campaign is to open the zone political process to
|
||
all sysops.
|
||
|
||
Dallas Hinton - Dallas is the candidate most identified as an
|
||
insider in political circles, and suffered early criticism based on
|
||
this perception. However, he has handled such criticism with grace
|
||
and charm, and has been responsive to questions asked of the
|
||
candidates. His campaign is helped considerably by the fading of RC
|
||
resentment over closed elections, and it appears that his insider
|
||
image will not be the detriment some had predicted. Dallas campaign
|
||
emphasizes his experience as RC.
|
||
|
||
David Moufarrege - David, though a sitting RC, seems to have avoided
|
||
the insider image. In fact, David's campaign is characterized by a
|
||
lack of contraversy. He has been personable and eloquent in his
|
||
interaction with sysops throughout the zone. David emphasizes his
|
||
accomplishments in integrating Internet nodes with the more
|
||
traditional Fido nodes, and points to the tranquilly of his region
|
||
as a harbinger of a non-contraversial term as Z1C.
|
||
|
||
Todd Cochrane - As much as David repels contraversy like a duck's
|
||
back repels water, Todd seems to attract it. He came out of the
|
||
nomination gate promising a fight, and immediatly drew attacks from
|
||
several quarters. However, the contraversy seems to have died down.
|
||
Todd's campaign emphasizes strong, authorative leadership with an
|
||
agressive approach to technology growth in Fido.
|
||
|
||
Bobby Queen - Bobby was the last candidate to be nominated, and is
|
||
still establishing his campaign. He has been responsive to all
|
||
questions and appears to be a credible candidate. His campaign
|
||
emphasizes his personal time available to serve as Z1C.
|
||
FIDONEWS 16-25 Page 2 21 Jun 1999
|
||
|
||
|
||
It's difficult to rank the candidates at this point due to the
|
||
representative nature of the voting. Probably, there will be no
|
||
definitive perception of the front runners until all the regions
|
||
have reported in. It's clear that no one candidate has established
|
||
himself as front runner, and no candidate is definately out of the
|
||
race.
|
||
|
||
Another difficulty in ranking the candidates is a lack of
|
||
distinguishing issues. So far, all candidates have favored further
|
||
integration of Internet nodes into Fidonet, and all candidates have
|
||
indicated a need for Policy 4 revisions.

MODERATOR RIGHTS, SUPER-BITCHES AND THE ZONE ONE ELECTION
|
||
Lesley-Dee Dylan, Lynn Gipson, and Ruth Argust
|
||
|
||
Last week, Joe Jared published an article in Fidonews which
|
||
described what he feels is a political conspiracy in the SUPER-BITCH
|
||
echo. As moderator of the Z1_POLITICAL echo, he further issued
|
||
warnings to all the participants of SUPER-BITCH and requested a zone
|
||
level feed cut of Ruth Argust based on posts in SUPER-BITCH.
|
||
|
||
The SUPER-BITCH echo is moderated by the Super-Bitches (Lynn Gipson,
|
||
Ruth Argust and Lesley-Dee Dylan). Any attempt to moderate this
|
||
message echo, by moderators of other echoes in their echoes, is an
|
||
infringement of our rights and unacceptable to us.
|
||
|
||
From some of the comments in other areas about us, it would seem
|
||
that the lurkers/visiting moderators have not read back far enough
|
||
in the echo to get a true picture of our activities. If they had,
|
||
they would have seen that we started off the election campaign with
|
||
speculating about how interesting it could be if Tom Cole were
|
||
nominated. Then Todd Cochrane stuck his foot in it - again and
|
||
again and again.
|
||
|
||
As for any "conspiracy" of "henchmen" working to support the Douglas
|
||
Myers campaign by attacking Todd Cochrane - Todd Cochrane is NOT
|
||
Douglas's main competition. If you were reading this echo, you
|
||
would know that we do not even consider Todd to have a viable
|
||
campaign. Douglas's competition is from David Moufarrege and Dallas
|
||
Hinton. There is very little interest in harrassing Dallas, and
|
||
absolutely none in harrassing David.
|
||
|
||
Despite Joe Jared's claim that we "intended" to disrupt the Official
|
||
Election Echo, there is not a single post where one person tells
|
||
another to say anything in the Election Echo. There are discussions
|
||
in the nature of "look at what idiocy Todd posted this time - what a
|
||
dolt."
|
||
|
||
Our actions have taken place in the open. We are not "backroom"
|
||
conspirators. Our echotag description tells everyone what we are up
|
||
to. Our echo is backboned and available to anyone except Net 163,
|
||
whose NEC refuses to carry it.
|
||
|
||
Joe has also placed all participants in the SUPER-BITCH echo on
|
||
notice just because they associated with the so-called "guilty"
|
||
parties.
|
||
|
||
Super-Bitch is a fun echo. We play in there. PLAY, not plot.
|
||
Playing leads to a bonding, a friendship, a caring for each other,
|
||
and an understanding of each other. We are not trying to overpower
|
||
the democratic process. We do support Douglas Myer in his
|
||
candidacy, because we have grown to like and understand him, despite
|
||
his blue balls. If we were plotting and conspiring to do something
|
||
FIDONEWS 16-25 Page 4 21 Jun 1999
|
||
|
||
|
||
unethical, we would have been doing so by mailing lists or crashed
|
||
netmail.
|
||
|
||
Also, there is one other problem with the goings on in this
|
||
election. Actions have been taken and warnings given, and one
|
||
suspension, based on an anonymous accusation. It is a basic
|
||
principle of British justice (on which the American justice system
|
||
is based) that defendants have a right to face their accuser(s). We
|
||
have not seen the accusation. We do not know, fully, what was in
|
||
the accusation against us, or who accused us. We also know that the
|
||
accusation was doctored up in such a way as to make it look like
|
||
Jack Yates had said words that I had typed. The initials LD> were
|
||
on the message Jack posted showing where he quoted me. These
|
||
initials seem to have been deleted when these lines were put into
|
||
the complaint. It also appears, from the small bits of the message
|
||
that were cross-posted, that Jack's response to me was deleted,
|
||
totally changing the perception of Jack's behaviour, and the
|
||
perception of the nature of the entire echo. And Jack never said
|
||
anything about Joe being Ross's puppet. I don't think anyone did,
|
||
except the accuser.
|
||
|
||
I think Joe is looking in the wrong place for the conspiracies and
|
||
dirty politics. He should be looking at whoever doctored up Jack's
|
||
message and sent in the complaint. He should be looking at whoever
|
||
it was who lied to him about Jack saying that Joe was Ross Cassell's
|
||
puppet.
|
||
|
||
The rules allowing moderators unfettered rights to toss someone from
|
||
their echos should be different for moderators of echos used for
|
||
official FidoNet business, whether at the level of a net, region, or
|
||
zone. Perhaps now is the time to start discussions of placing
|
||
limits on the moderatorship of these official FidoNet echos.
|
||
|
||
Feed cuts on these official echos should never be issued unless the
|
||
offender refuses to cooperate on read-only status. Even when a feed
|
||
cut is issued, there should be no objection to a volunteer
|
||
forwarding all posts in the echo to netmail so the offender can
|
||
still read the echo.
|
||
|
||
When there are objections to the actions against an offender in an
|
||
official echo, then there should be a review. Perhaps all
|
||
moderators of backboned echos who are active participants in the
|
||
echo could be asked to consult and make a decision on the validity
|
||
of the action. This would be a one-warm-body, one vote review,
|
||
rather than weighted by number of conferences moderated - i.e. Bob
|
||
Moravsik would not get 350 votes to my one-third vote.

Ray Brown, 1:286/1701
|
||
|
||
A brief introduction...
|
||
|
||
Greetings and salutations! This is Ray Brown, 1:286/1701. I have
|
||
been a member (SysOp) of FidoNet for almost 10 years, starting out
|
||
as a node in Florida, then for a year in Oklahoma, and for the past
|
||
5 years, here in Missouri. For the past year, I have been NC / NEC
|
||
of Net 286, and just last week I was elected Regional Coordinator
|
||
for Region 14. (Condolences graciously accepted. :-)
|
||
|
||
I would like to go on record as saying, and I believe my Region
|
||
will agree, my vote for the next Z1C will be for somebody that will
|
||
start taking a proactive roll in revitalizing FidoNet, including but
|
||
not limited to work on a new Policy to replace our 10-year-old
|
||
Policy4.
|
||
|
||
Members of Region 14, get involved NOW. Make your opinions known
|
||
NOW. We're already in Phase 2 of the Z1C Election, and I hate
|
||
debating in a vacumn. If you don't participate in 14_REC, then
|
||
NetMail me and I'll see what we can do.
|
||
|
||
Thank you!

God Speaks in one-liners
|
||
|
||
An advertising agency in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida launced this unique
|
||
advertising and billboard campaign that even splashed the insides
|
||
and outsides of buses, and the bus stop shelters, and which included
|
||
a total of 17 different messages from the Big Guy himself, God. This
|
||
non-denominational campaign was sponsored by an anonymous client who
|
||
forked out literally thousands of dollars.
