I thought it was a pretty well known story, but i will tell my version of it anyway.
once upon a time, there was a mailing list for MBCA members. It was a fairly benign list, but some of the content seemed to offend George Murphy, who then shut down the list. This really rubbed me the wrong way. The list belongs to the members, not to George. It struck me as the ultimate in hubris, in irresponsiblity, in ugliness, in foul play, etc, that George just shut down that list. So i suggested that it would behoove the members to "elliminate" George as I felt someone like this had no business in a position of any club responsibility. I was then contacted by MBCA counsel Robert Beltz who, in an official capacity, informed me that this statement regarding George is being treated as a death threat and that the FBI has been brought in to investigate. so i'm thinking that the MBCA members are paying this guy a couple of hundred bucks an hour to threaten me because i hurt george's feelings by. What kind of people are these MBCA representatives? It was just too sick a freakshow for me to be involved in, which is saying a lot as few people love a sick freakshow more than I do. But, again, you guys enjoy it! i wish you well with it. you will just have to manage without me. On 10/9/06, Chris Kueny <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
