  • Ward Dossche - DICTATOR

    From Alex Galiyev@1:129/14.1 to All on Thu May 29 22:05:13 2025
    Hello All!

    I was unaware of the lawsuit between Ward Dossche and Helmut Hullen until Ward mentioned it himself.

    Could someone please share more details about the case - ideally, the official filings?

    In the 1990s, Ward Dossche and I had a dispute that resulted in my excommunication from Z2. At the time, I took no action and simply let it go, which was a mistake.

    Even after I moved to the United States and joined FidoNet, R50C continued to pursue me, but Janis Kracht (I2C, RIP) stepped in and resolved the matter in my favor. Thank you, Janis - God bless you.

    Has anyone else been affected by Ward Dossche's actions?

    Alex

    Conning people is easy. You just need to overcome their intelligence. But convincing people they've been conned is much harder. You need to overcome their pride.

    Ward's bootlickers have begun using fascist rhetoric (in Russian).

    English translation of what he said: "You'd think that anyone who fled a dictatorship would recognize a real one. Back off, you ignorant bastard, and stop insulting a man who's dedicated his entire life to improving Fidonet."

    Sure folks have had issues but time shifts perceptions. Things that happened that long ago were in a different world to most people. You'd be better off to let your grudge go. Statue of limitations long gone and it wouldonly be 'he said, she said', So R50C of the time removed you and the Z2C didn't overturn it. You then didn't appeal to the IC (and yes, some of the 90's had one then in the early 2000's if memory serves out of Z3).
