Re: [IFWP] Slanders and impostures

["Ken Stubbs" <kstubbs@dninet.net>]

Mr. Sondow...
I have told you repeatedly that membership information regarding CORE is
available on our website www.corenic.org which on numerous occasions in the
past you have referred to.

it is again abundantely clear again that you have misstated another fact
here and made acccusations without premise. mr maher is in no way affiliated
with any CORE member nor is he a member of CORE. To the best of my knowledge
mr maher is also not a member of any domain registrar organization as well.

again your misrepresentations regarding mr maher are blatently misleading
and without premise.
you are again resorting to actions which you constantly accuse others of.

your creditability diminishes every time we see actions like this.

i can only hope that those who evaluate and sanction do it based on
practical common sense and reason and not based on giving most merit &
weight to those who
try to overwhelm them with volumes of useless accusations & venom like the
attached below.

try to get more sleep and cut down on those cigarettes

best wishes
