All of the messages posted by me during the 2nd interest poll for talk.religion.bahai to Bahai-Discuss for the previous two months and by other Bahais can be found on the main Archive menu: http://members.tripod.com/~fglaysher/archive.htm I believe a fair and impartial reading of the evidence will agree that the BCCA was worried that talk.religion.bahai was going to pass and their removing me from their mailing lists was caluclated to inflame the situation against talk.religion.bahai. Also compare the message below to the full context of my repeated appeals to the BCCA, which they ignored. http://members.tripod.com/~fglaysher/BCCA.txt ---------- Subject: Message from the BCCA-CC Date: Mon, 10 Nov 97 19:31:00 +0100 From: CC Secretary To: "Frederick Glaysher" CC: "CC Mail" Mr Glaysher I write to advise you that the following message has been mailed to BCCA lists today. On behalf of the BCCA-CC Nicholas J A Sanders ------------------- Dear Baha'i Friends The Co-ordinating Committee of the Baha'i Computer and Communications Association regrets to announce that Mr Frederick Glaysher has been unsubscribed from all of the BCCA lists which included his name and email address and that steps have been taken to prevent his posting to any forum for which we have responsibility. We wish to make it quite clear that this action follows from Mr Glaysher's persistent contravention of the conditions of the BCCA Charter and our decision should not be taken as indicating any stance on the question of his proposal for a new Usenet group. It has been made only after our several attempts to settle difficulties amicably with Mr Glaysher have produced no positive result. The Committee now urges all the believers who participate in online Baha'i activities to focus their attention on the urgent needs of the time and to renew their efforts towards successful completion of the Four-Year Plan. We earnestly hope that the acrimonious exchanges of past weeks will now be forgotten and that there will be no repeat of them. (Please note that this message is being posted to several BCCA lists - we apologise for any multiple receipts.) In His service Nicholas Sanders Nicholas J A Sanders _______________________ Secretary BCCA Co-ordinating Committee -- Frederick Glaysher UseNet: alt.religion.bahai The RFD for talk.religion.bahai can be found on news.groups, news.announce.newgroups, or at
