"if you don't like it, you are free to go to some different place. finish."

yeah, right, you damn bloody communists!

ooh, lovely lessons in applied discourse.

if i just could remember where i know klaus theweleit from...?

tripod.de: "das neue und verbesserte tripod wird voraussichtlich am mittwoch, dem 13. februar 2002, wieder erreichbar sein."

haha. heheheh. wuahahahahah!

what's a week compared to eternity? (still laughing my pants off).

monochrom: mouse over matter. ouch!

this is great. although already from last october. but this is the usual timespan it takes for me to finally get myself involved in a public netbase project. today i can look at all this with far less prejudices (as long as there is no other t0 mumbo-jumbo acute at the time).

tuesday 29 may 2001: "got no nose hair but want to experience the pain of plucking them out, too?"

markkula center for applied ethics: who owns the moon?

association of autonomous astronauts: who owns outer space?

heise.de: "web-inhalte: verschoben ist nicht gelöscht – samuel althof, sprecher der vereinigung aktion kinder des holocaust, hat eine strafanzeige gegen die verantwortlichen von switzerland.indymedia.org bei der schweizer polizei wegen antisemitischer veröffentlichungen gestellt. auf der website des linken infoportals würden sich antisemitische beiträge häufen, die verantwortlichen 'moderatorinnen + redakteurinnen' würden diese aber nicht entfernen, sondern nur mit einem kommentar in den 'zensurkübel' verschieben. dort seien sie nicht nur weiter einsehbar, der zensurkübel enthalte auch durch 'die ansammlung 'gelöschter' beiträge eine bewusst gewollte attraktivität'".

oy, sometimes a great idea can cause more trouble than doing it the usual way. i always liked to see ugly postings rather to be moved to a special place than simply being deleted. but it seems i have to reconsider this concept a little bit...

heise's telepolis has some information about the issue, too.

congratulations go out to munich and a warm welcome to the club: carolin maak got her diploma!

hey, the brandnew antville is running really well!

and hence the trouble could begin: "mit steigender zahl der mitglieder häuften sich der missbrauch auf unseren servern. mit kinderpornographie, nazipropaganda, aufrufe zu mord und brandanschlägen, menschenverachtendem material, beleidigungen und urheberrechtsverletzungen ist die liste der widerlichkeiten wirklich lang. unzählige abmahnungen, strafbewährte unterlassungserklärungen und drei hausdurchsuchungen sind genug gründe zum nachdenken."

that's why yoobay.net went offline. and that's why antville needs an authoritative disclaimer against any illegal material posted to the servers and some superuser tools to protect itself from going down the shitshoot because of some ubiquitous idiots.

what's that? a call for a strict hand? schlögl, schüssel, schily, schill, schiefke3000?

just an impetus. btw. frank rennicke, a neo-nazi musician, already has arrived at antville...

obviously, i have been at the b72 once upon a time... (zoom!). the sensomatics spotted me again. pretty perceptive.
