No, it's NOT open to anyone who's not been banned. The fact that you have banned so many sites and domains means that you are banning people who have probably never even *heard* of the cult of scientology. The fact that you choose to ban domains and sites rather than individuals means that any rationality you may have had has been superceded by an exaggerated sense of paranoia.

: Out of several hundreds of thousands of Internet users, only about : 45 are banned.

Wrong. Thousands of people have been banned because they originate from banned sites and domains.

: 1. Flooders are banned. : You can no longer be trusted, don't even bother.

You are guilty of flooding. In fact, you and T-rex were the *first* to start flooding on Saturday night, before you had taken over the channel.

: 2. Rude, obnoxious people are banned. : T-Rex is not so strict on this one. : You can be unbanned

You are rude and obnoxious. Ban yourself.

: 3. Irrational behaviors are banned. : T-Rex is not so strict on this one either. : You can be unbanned

Is lying "irrational"? If so, ban yourself. You lied to me repeatedly.

: 4. Excessive cussing is banned. : You can be unbanned

"Cussing"? Garsh. Do you mean if I say "gol-durned", I'll get banned? Or is it only profanity? Or is cussing only the case when your precious icons are denigrated (i.e., "the criminal cult of scientology").

: 5. Denigrating statements & flagrant Lying is banned. : They will not be unbanned until they correct their lies : in public AND are not SPs.

You're a demonstrably flagrant liar, and you've made numerous denigrating statements. Ban yourself.

: 6. Takeover attempts are banned : You will never be unbanned, you cannot be trusted.

Ban yourself. You made the original takeover ban. You cannot be trusted.

: 7. SPs are banned. : Their comm is to the International Justice Chief. : I will not even read or respond to their postings.

Who are SP's? We need a list.

: 8. Squirrels are banned. : See #7

Who are squirrels? See #7. Are chipmunks allowed?

: People who wish to discuss Scientology or just chat w/ others : may join this channel. Any topic may be discussed and will be : allowed as long as the above is not violated.

Any topic, including criticism of the church of scientology?

: Those who are banned can read

: <a href="http://www.theta.com/goodman">http://www.theta.com/goodman</a>

: Those who wish to become unbanned, may respond to this : posting w/ a good reason why they should be unbanned. Also : see #7 about who may apply for "unbanning."

Like anyone is going to humiliate themselves by writing a groveling note begging to be "let back into the fold"? Gag! Sorry, this isn't the Sea Org - we don't need to debase ourselves like that. Good luck getting anyone to beg to be unbanned. Be sure to post any such message in a.r.s.

: Attacks in response this posting, accusations in response to this : posting will be ignored and the BAN will be enforced.

How typical of Co$ - criticism will be ignored.

: BANNING is not a crime, it was programmed into the IRC. : If you disagree, talk to the programmers, not me.

Banning is rude, especially when you STOLE a channel that was not yours to begin with. (And it wasn't yours even though you paranoidly showed up in #clambake 7 hours early just to make sure you'd have ops.)

: There are thousands of other internet users who are free to : communicate in the IRC channel and it is not fair that their freedom : to do so is threated by the actions of a few.

YOUR actions. And a very few. Poor Centaur/Jet and T-Rex. You must be *exhausted* from executing this power play all by your 'lil 'ol selves!

: Using multiple usernames & domains for the purpose of FLOODING : or taking over the channel will result in the ENTIRE domain being : BANNED. Don't ruin it for other people on your domain.

The ethical thing for you to do would be to send e-mail to every single Clarknet user, apologizing for banning them JUST because you don't like my criticism of your lying, unethical, and deceptive behavior in this matter. Of course, I doubt there's a single Clarknet user who'd be interested in spending more than 30 seconds with you in your bunker-like little channel.
