[quote="joelchanning"]Mr. Channing, you fail to recognize that at least three very serious
ethical violations were committed by Gregory Alexander, who was until
recently a moderator and apparently wants to be a moderator again, by
the above quote.

First, the qoute attributed to David Quinn was not correct. David
Quinn never wrote any such thing. Gregory Alexander admitted this a
few posts later when he wrote:

"My apologies; yes, you are right-- my email is stripping out the
quote tags. It was a quote from someone else then and this was not by
you."

However, in some cases mere apologies are not enough. This is one of
those cases. Also, I believe that now that Gregory Alexander has
provided the quote, he must reveal who said it. Probably it was Mike
Aigner, as he was the only moderator of FOC member who was actually at
the meeting in Stillwater and therefore in a position to say this.

But that is not all. Gregory Alexander has taken this quote from the
confidential "staff lounge", a secret place where moderators and FOC
members discuss which postings to delete and which should be allowed
to stand. However, Gregory Alexander is not supposed to have access to
that staff lounge any more since he has resigned both as FOC member
and as moderator. So, what seems to have happened is that Mike Nolan
forgot to cut him off from access to the staff lounge when he resigned
or else Gregory Alexander is able to hack into that staff lounge and
obtain information he is not supposed to have.

Next, Gregory Alexander makes the mysterious statement above: "my
email is stripping out the quote tags". Does this mean that somebody
sent him the quote by email? Does it mean that he used an email
program to post that false quote here?

The real problem is that over and over again in dozens of postings
Gregory Alexander demands that David Quinn confess to giving
confidential information to Hal Bogner and myself, among others.
During the debate during the meeting in Stillwater, Gregory Alexander
repeatedly demanded that Hal Bogner, who was at the meetring in
Stillwater while Gregory Alexander on the line, reveal and answer
questions about what Quinn had told him. However, Bogner quite
properly declined to answer. Gregory Alexander simply has no right to
know what was said in a private conversation between two other
persons.

You will see in subsequent postings including today, Gregory Alexander
writes, "Answer this, yes or no". He keeps demanding that Quinn reveal
confidential information while at the same time we know that Gregory
Alexander has revealed confidential information by that false quote
above from the staff lounge.

Not only that, but it seems that Gregory Alexander wants his position
as moderator back. He writes, "If I had known that, I would not have
resigned my position as moderator".

Heaven help us if he should be reinstated as moderator. We have every
reason to be concerned about that possibility, especially since Terry
Winchester resigned three times as FOC member and, after much yelling
and screaming like the proverbial "girls in a bordello", then took
back his resignations claiming that his resignations were not
effective since they had not been accepted.
