Here's some background on these documents.

Daniel,

 

Is it more important to keep past grievances alive or to disseminate useful information? I feel it's the latter, continually bringing the grudge thread up suggests you think it's the former. Which is a shame, as this information is useful, particularly as no criminal action ocurred - otherwise I am sure you would have been the first to report it to both the site admins and the police. That being the case it serves no useful purpose to keep dragging up ancient history that is of little interest to anyone who couldn't give a damn about the spats between egos in the US pen world.

 

Regards

 

Richard.

Richard:

 

Are you speaking in your official capacity as a moderator, or as a regular member?

Richard,

 

As a regular member, I applaud your comments!

 

Best,

Daniel,

 

The two are difficult to entirely separate as I am one person. Sentences 1-3, mostly as a regular member. Sentence 4: with the official moderator hat on, FPN regards arguments between people off site as something that is irrelevant to FPN and we do not want such spill-over onto the site. Language & emphasis in sentence 4 reflects my wish as a moderator to emphasise the degree of importance of the 'background' that you referred to - it is utterly irrelevant to anyone outside the very small central core of the US pen community, is in the past, and does not need to be brought up again.

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

Note:

This topic is locked simply because a certain troll who has been banned from FPN years ago still manages to influence the behaviour of people here, and generate quarrels and tiffs, something this person delights in. I think FPN, and our membership, should simply rise above this, and not rekindle any fires which we should stand above as a community. Please do realize that getting people into arguments and getting them upset is exactly what this troll aims at, and has been doing for many years for his own, IMO sick, delight and pleasure.

 

Essentially, the person referred to downloaded all scanned manuals and other info from the PCA site, burnt these to CD or DVD, and started selling them, without referencing the PCA, and with the aim to hurt the PCA. This person then also disseminated the materials to a variety of other sites, helped unknowingly by a few people who thought to help others again.

 

We will discuss this with the PCA, and see if we can come up with a solution to reference these manuals and scans somehow doing justice to the work the PCA does and has done over the years.

 

Warm regards, Wim

FPN Chief Admin

The link has been changed to the official library link, where not only the Parker manuals can be obtained, for free, by anybody, but hundreds of other ones as well.
