To the Unknown Accusser, It is very easy to "hide behind" a terminal and make allegations based upon very little information/facts. If you have a comments you wish to stand by and support, then why don't you reply to this group, (particularly SGT Taylor), with your name and : - explain the facts supporting you accusation - or acknowledge that you were unjustified in your insinuation - or continue to cower behind your pseudonym "the unknown user" Gregg Barisano CPT, US ARMY

He isn't cowering behind a pseudonym, he just doesn't want to broadcast his full name. He has his reasons. While his statements were certainly unfounded, and probably require for an apology, I don't see how using a "pen name" is cause for extra harsh treatment. There is no notion of looking someone in the eye and confronting them directly on a computer network, so whether he calls himself tuu or King Lerch or John the Butthead is somewhat irrelevant. If you wish to slam him further, please you take your flames to E-mail. > Gregg Barisano > CPT, US ARMY

barisano@amsaa-cleo.brl.mil (Gregg Barisano) of the Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity, wrote in reply to unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu's letter: >To the Unknown Accusser, His address is unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu. Please don't waste precious net bandwidth with your squabbling. It isn't appreciated. Take it to alt.flame. As a matter of fact, I think I will do just that! Not 15 bytes in to your letter, and you have already begun to apply personal attacks, not very commendable. Perhaps I should report you to your superior officer? > It is very easy to "hide behind" a terminal and make >allegations based upon very little information/facts. It is also very easy to mistakenly mis-interpret one's message, and apply an "allegation" with little, or NO basis for that conclusion at all. That is the problem with the network. You can't see the people's faces. Just their ASCII. It can be misleading. > If you have a comments you wish to stand by and support, then >why don't you reply to this group, (particularly SGT Taylor), with your >name and : I disagree. You continually attempt to discover unknown's name. The institution which gave him his Internet account, apparantly allows very vague information to be contained in the personal information fields usually provided to contain the user's full name, and login name. Try doing "finger unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu", if you are so keen on finding out more about this person. comp.sys.apple2 is NOT damn.you.you.accused.an.SGT.of.pirating.software. I'm replying publicly with good intentions. Such things have flared up too many times around the net, and it must be stopped. > - explain the facts supporting you accusation In private mail. > - or acknowledge that you were unjustified in > your insinuation Applying ultimatums already? I think Unknown is intelligent enough to realise his options without being hand held by a US Army Captain. > - or continue to cower behind your pseudonym > "the unknown user" Hardly the attitude I would expect from such a high-ranking official! Your mental intimidation, and attempts at making the individual in question succumb to your demands is quite frankly, pathetic. Maybe you should go through boot camp again, and learn to treat people as your equals, not your opponents. > Gregg Barisano > CPT, US ARMY I would like to continue this in Email, if you wouldn't mind. marekp@pnet91.cts.com is the way to go.
