|
To Snelle, and whomever else it may concern,
|
|
|
|
I know we have talked in the past regarding the operation of your wonderful
|
|
system, but I'm afraid this time I have nothing constructive to offer you.
|
|
In fact, this letter concerns the actions of two juvenile miscreants who
|
|
have been using your system for the purposes of harassment and threatening.
|
|
|
|
I received a telephone phone call today from someone
|
|
identifying himself as "the SysOp of free.org." When I asked for full
|
|
identification, he would not even give me a first name, he kept
|
|
referring to himself as "the SysOp." Now, having previous knowledge
|
|
that the machine is not run by a single person, I knew this was a fake.
|
|
He tried to accuse me of some illegal activities but the fact that I
|
|
already knew he was faking, coupled with his awful grammar and lack of
|
|
social engineering skills, led me to simply hang up on him after
|
|
uttering an expletive which I don't care to repeat in this letter.
|
|
A few minutes later I received a phone call from that same
|
|
person, this time identifying himself as "The Dark Prophet." He and
|
|
another free.org user "Mister Muff" proceeded to threaten me. They told
|
|
me that they were going to fraudulently set up a 1-800 number to my
|
|
personal phone line, and somehow bill me for it, among other threats
|
|
which were put across to me in this phone call. When I asked what
|
|
brought on these malicious and unprovoked attacks, I was never given a
|
|
clear answer, if I was given one at all.
|
|
I believe this all stems from an incident on the IRC in which
|
|
I refused to grant channel operator status to this "Mister Muff"
|
|
delinquent. A simple incident such as that has mushroomed into a
|
|
pathetic display of system administrator impersonation as well as
|
|
threatening and obscenity over interstate phone lines (which is a
|
|
Federal Offense).
|
|
While I do not want to pursue a bunch of kids to the point
|
|
that they will face jail time and fines which they will probably end up
|
|
paying for with their college savings, I do want this foolishness to
|
|
stop. I suggest you remove the accounts of "mrmuff" and "dprophet" from
|
|
your otherwise-peaceful system, or at least issue strict warnings to
|
|
these individuals. While I know the actions they threaten me with are
|
|
out of your control and jurisdiction, I believe that you will want to
|
|
take action when it comes to people impersonating you to carry out
|
|
their malicious plots.
|
|
Thank you for your time, and I hope this can be resolved.
|
|
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
valgamon@free.org
|
|
|
|
P.S. I have the entire second phone conversation recorded on tape, which
|
|
I will be happy to convert into a digitized sound file and distribute
|
|
upon request. Please let me know whether you prefer VOC or WAV format.
