Now that I have got your attention. I thought that I=20
should inform you all that the user "Amethyst", is very=20
helpful, but too often rude and obsene. I, for one, will=20
no longer tolerate her rude posts. I have send the=20
following message to her ISP, in hopes of getting her to=20
stop this rude language. For those of you who admire=20
Amethyst, I expect many "witty" replies about this=20
action. For those of you who have had an unfortunate run=20
in with Amethyst, don't take her posts personally, but=20
know that someone is fed up with the way she treats other=20
users. I did edit the post, so that her AKAs remain=20
private, as Microsoft's Terms and Conditions say that no=20
personal info be given out.
Dear Energis,=20
I thought I should inform you of one of your end-user's=20
frequent inappropriate language, and in almost all cases,=20
demening of other users in a Mircrosft Newsgroup.=20
All of the following Messages are a clear violation of=20
Microsoft's terms of use, because users are not=20
to "Publish, post, upload, distribute or disseminate any=20
inappropriate, profane, defamatory, obscene, indecent or=20
unlawful topic, name, material or information."
MANY users of these newsgroups complain about Amethyst,=20
and she simply replies by calling them ****wits, morons,=20
dip****, and so on
The specific violations are marked as bold (oops, can't=20
do that in IE. Oh well, you'll see them)=20
Altough some are not severe violations, some are=20
completely innaproprate and rude.
