Sherman Droppings...

                 Ruling on PC filed by Dan Sherman



Dan Sherman,



It is extremely disturbing that I have to send this message at all. With your

being a Network Coordinator I am sure you understood the action you were taking

when you filed a Policy Complaint against Ms. Argust. Per Policy 4.07 a Policy

Complaint is not an action to be taken lightly.



Your Policy Complaint aginst Ms. Argust is rejected in total.



Per Ms. Argust, she has never receievd any personal messages to her from

yourself regarding the actions in which you claim she has violated Policy 4.07.

Policy 4.07, Section 9.1 is quite clear in stating that prior to filing a

formal complaint an effort must be undertaken to resolve any problem. You have

failed to present any evidence whatsoever that an attempt to resolve any

problem was undertaken by yourself. You also show a distinct lack of courtesy

in your failure to have sent a copy of the PC you filed with me to Ms. Argust

directly. Additionally, the Policy Complaint you filed with me was nothing but

a copy of a complaint filed earlier by Zorch Frezberg with no additional input

of any kind or original thought. Therefore, you should be held at least as

liable as Zorch Frezberg should Ms. Argust counterfile a complaint for

excessively annoying behavior in this matter.



You have failed to present any evidence that Zorch Fresburg was acting in your

behalf with his netmail to Ms. Argust tittled "FORMAL INQUIRY". After wading

through all the evidence you submitted, I failed to find a single message to

Zorch Fresburg from yourself, stating that you requested him to conduct his

inquiry on your behalf. Policy 4.07 is also very clear on the time limits upon

which a policy complaint may be submitted. If Zorch Fresburg was indeed acting

in your behalf when he contacted Ms. Argust, the time limit for you filing the

Policy Complaint was past when you filed it.



In conclusion, I am extremely dissappointed that a Network Coordinator

obviously has such a lack of knowledge of the governing policy of FidoNet.

Given your position in Fido, I, myself would find against you for excessivly

annoying behavior in regards to filing a trivial complaint such as the one you

presented to me.
