Subject: Official Notification from the h2g2 Editors: Account Suspended

Dear "Quincy",

We recently received a number of complaints from fellow h2g2 Researchers
that say your account was being operated by LeKZ. In investigating these
claims we've looked at your account, and it does appear that it was opened
and is being operated by the same human being as the one who opened the
'Arpeggio', 'Mourning Becomes Electra' and 'Silent Lucidity' accounts.

As LeKZ is permanently banned from h2g2, obviously we have no choice but
to close down the 'Quincy' account too.

As a result we have now suspended your h2g2 account for one week, pending
a permanent ban, while we implement the transgressions procedure described
here:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A642296

If you believe you have any mitigating reasons why you should not be
banned permanently, please reply to this email explaining them. We will
read your replies and consider their contents before coming to a decision
regarding a lifetime ban. Our decision will be made in one week, and will
be final; no correspondence will be entered into. Please remember when
replying that any abusive, threatening, or offensive emails will result in
the immediate and permanent ban on your account, as will any attempt to
return to the site under a different account.

Alternatively, you may agree to accept that you are indeed posting on h2g2
as a banned Researcher and accept the closure of your account, in which
case the transgression proceedure will not be implemented, if that is what
you would prefer.

If you have any Guide Entries you wish to copy off our servers, your space
will remain readable and unaltered for the duration of your suspension.
Your Guide Entries may not be easily retrievable after that date.

Yours sincerely,

The h2g2 Editors

Hi there

I don't know what to say. I was in the middle of saying hi to
someone and my page disappeared. Now you've got complaints about
what? I don't even know what you're talking about. Would you please
explain what I supposedly did for me?

I realize I let that guy Loonytunes have it, and I've apologized as
much as I'm comfortable with, but this is about that? I'm real
confused. This is very weird.

I don't need this sorta screw ups. I was getting comfortable and
starting to make friends. Complaints? Why? Because a fifty-one
year old forensic pathologist from New York is hanging out online and
notices some people that need help? I don't understand? What are
you saying I did?

Please explain this to me. That was very sudden. You believe I'm
who? On what basis? This makes no sense to me. I am totally
confused.

Hi Quincy

A significant number of h2g2 Community members believe that you are a
person known to us as LeKZ or Ms Zendavesta, who has opened a number of
accounts on h2g2 subsequent to her original ban under the Researcher name
of 'Arpeggio'.

The h2g2 Community have been asked to decide whether they consider that
you are or are not LeKZ under yet another account. We're setting up the
transgressions procedure as described here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A642296

If you believe you have any mitigating reasons why you should not be

Subject: Evidence?

To the Editors:

I see from what you have presented here
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A681086 that you do not SAY you have
any hard evidence. If you do, you have so far not chosen to produce
it. I would like to know whether you ban people for life on the
basis of hearsay, or what, because I've spent 22 years in law
enforcement, looking for evidence to convict. If you're going to do
it on the bais of hearsay, just do it. If you are going to apply
principles and claim to seek justice, you're going to be expected to
actually see justice done.

Opinion doesn't constitute "evidence" in any court I have ever heard
of. Yes, I was very angry with Looneytunes. He was a gentleman and
gave me an opportunity to revise my opinion, and I read, and I
responded with apologies on that page, his page, and in my joural
which I can't find, along with everything else that speaks for me.
I think you might want to check all the links again.

You called the exchange with Loonytunes a "flame war". I accept your
definition, since it's your site. I thought to be an actual "war"
there needed to be more than one insult, one self-defense, and one
apology. Your site, your rules.

I did not, specifically, didn't give anyone medical advice. I gave
general advice regarding people's body's and how they react to drug
metabolite half-lives. I did not suggest he should do anything or
not do anything specific, except see his doctor. I spoke only in
general terms and if you don't mind too much, this is impugning my
professional ethics. Please check your facts and word that more
accurately.

I'm just pointing out you have chosen a course of action that puts
you in a position of responsibility. If you're going to play jury,
prosecutor, judge, and executioner, the minimum fair play would be to
not word things in a way that is biased. You did anyway, but that's
your privilege I guess, huh?

It's your website. You don't have to do this. You could throw a
person out for no reason and there doesn't got to be recourse. But
if you do it like this, you gotta do it right. I would know from
right, only because I've been in the evidence-gathering business for
a very, very long time.

If you have hard evidence, I think the community ought to know, and
if you don't, you know gossip is no grounds to condemn anyone of
anything, in any place I've ever heard of that wasn't a banana
republic.

As we said in our original email, if you have any mitigating reasons for
not being banned, then please let us know. Proving that you are who you
say you are and *not* LeKZ would be the best way to keep your account
open, but in the meantime we have to reflect the wishes of the h2g2
Researchers who are convinced that you are LeKZ, which is why we have put
this process into operation. A reasonable number of h2g2 users think you
are a banned Researcher; we're giving you the chance to refute this claim.

As for 'hard evidence', you could say we are acting on a hunch, not unlike
a famous TV pathologist.

Best wishes,

Very funny, Fellas.

However, without proof, your acting on a hunch could condemn an
innocent man, and unlike tv heroes, the regular hunch of the average
detective or forensic pathologist pans out only about sixty percent
of the time, or not that often.

No, my friends, I'm innocent until proven guilty. What you want is
me to scan, if I had a scanner, which I don't, some ID that shows my
face and has my name, right?
1. Anyone smart enough to use a those fancy-schmancy computer
graphics programs could probably fake up an ID for me that said I
live in your apartment if they knew where you lived. I know the guys
who try to take apart the computer-fake IDs and if you don't have the
thing in your hand, they say there is no way to know.
2. I'm innocent until you prove me guilty, not the other way around.
That law in the USA is from the Magna Carta which is probably the
best thing your country ever came up with. Do you follow your own
law? If so, don't demand proof from me. I don't have to give it to
you.

I have the right to remain silent. I take the fifth, because this
whole "trial" is a joke. I'm not going to help you people pretend
this is fair.

Hi Quincy.

Thanks for the response. Of course you can remain silent, if that's what
you'd prefer!

Just to reiterate the situation, we have received communications from a
significant number of h2g2 members who would like your account closed, but
it's only fair to give you every opportunity to prove that their concerns
are unfounded (and you are free to ignore that opportunity, if you like).

We don't require a scanned ID card - as you say, that wouldn't prove
anything. However, as a registered MD, is there no medical board with whom
you could put us in touch so we can confirm that you are who you say you
are? Or is there a work email address through which we can communicate
with you, rather than the anonymous email account you are using? You are a
doctor; surely you can prove it relatively easily?

We're sorry if this is causing you angst, but it might help to look at it
from our point of view. LeKZ has caused a
lot of grief to members of the h2g2 Community, and that Community has
rejected her on a number of occasions. We have to ask questions if people
are accused of being LeKZ returning for another fight, but, of course, you
don't have to answer them. That is your right, as is this, from the terms
you agreed to when signing up with h2g2:

"Please note that the BBC reserves the right to terminate accounts
immediately at its discretion"

We'd rather you proved who you were, of course, but it's up to you. We, as
editors, have to protect our Community members, and if we have to do that
by banning accounts who refuse or are unable to provide us with any proof
that they are who they say they are, then unfortunately that's what we
have to do.

h2g2 Editors: you are carbon copied on this by way of "evidence". It

MS

This is funny, David!

Thanks. So she wouldn't have just let being called that by a bunch
of internet BBC guys, who don't know from
psychiatry or psychology slide, huh? I had a hard time not asking
them where they went to med school, but I'm don't feel like I have to
prove anything to them. I still might, but only because of what
Barton said, about if they do let me back on it wouldn't just be
right for me (like I care so much if I can go back) but it maybe
would at least mean LeKZ wouldn't have this false accusation against
her. He was right to point out the falsely accused isn't me, it's
her. I'm an innocent bystander, getting hit by glass-shards from the
bomb those people who complained so brave and anonymous said LeKZ set
off.

Being a New Yorker who was doing DNA matches from hair follicles and
a half cm square piece of someone's spleen, because of the brave and
anonymous actions of some people who are more full of hate and fear
than they are full of sense or compassion, I don't get a warm, toasty
feeling inside from knowing these anonymous emailers can trash
someone this way, and get away with it. Actually, I think that's
heartburn. I'll write them.

About getting together... well, you know... I'd like to say yes, but
right now I can't commit to much. You've heard from Sam, whoo, I
never guessed. Fooled me! I'm in pretty rough shape. I have a
bunch things wrong physically. The internet, if it isn't too fast or
loud like the games the kids play, I can manage. If not, well, I
need to rest a lot. I'm on some very strong medications for not just
my head. There were some biopathogens and worse, aeorosolized
asbestos in the materials we had to examine that were not as "safe"
as the EPA first said, when they were brought in, and the handling
was bad. Me and another guy and this one little gal all were
exposed. We've all got pulmonary problems, and are looking at lung
cancer sooner or later. That and twenty two years breathing
formaldehyde, well, I don't get around that well, right now.

I can work in the hospice with Sam, four hour shifts, four times a
week, because I get a ride in from another gal lives near me. This
condo's only for the next couple months. Then I'm going out to
California see my sister. I think I want to get cancer treatment
back at Memorial Sloan Kettering so whenever they say "okay, now it's
cancer", is when I go back to New York City, if I'm not mentally up
to it before then. I don't know if they can, but if they can treat
the cancer, and get it in remission, I want to go back to work. We
did not work the way we did, sometimes 20 hour shifts, because the
biohazards in the Pile were unbelievable, and not become like family.

I know what I'm looking at is only maybe 10% chance it's cancer in
2002, then it goes up by 20% every year, maybe a little faster. It's
this pleurisy I'm not shaking off, and I'm underweight, and I've
never been UNDERweight! My shrink and other people say it's the
grief, as much as anything, and maybe some survivor guilt. I think
the altitude isn't helping! So, I go out and see my sister in
California, by the ocean, and get some sun in a couple months. Then
we'll see. I could come back here, though condos aren't available
all the time. My friend at Boulder Community he knew someone was
going first on vacation, and then to work on Relief in Afghanistan.
Oh, my God, and I thought New York was rough. Okay, so it was, but
we have good facilities. This condo belongs to that guy. Plush,
too. Very uptown.

Civil sevants don't make this kind of money, but we have a different
kind of pride. The docs do a lot of vacationing around July, August,
so maybe I'll be back in the area then. Boy, the pride of being a
New York City civil servant. Nobody who hasn't been part of a team
that's seen the worst they never imagined in their life, associated
with the NYPD, and the FDNY, could possibly know how much that holds
me up even when I am so depressed and hardly able to get around.

I may be ashamed of our unelected so-called "leadership", but God
bless America, and I wish the rest of the world knew the kind of
unity we felt.

Bless you too, my friend, and my best to LeKZ. I couldn't deal with
her website, I'm ashamed to say. I've seen the bodies of children
who weren't as "lucky" as she was to live. It overwhelms and makes
me cry.

You know, for her sake, I'm considering carbon copying the Editors at
h2g2 with this. They can decide if an old man like me, who only ever
heard of LeKZ because of being told I was supposedly her, and only
ever heard of you because we posted to that same little gal with the
bad-news boyfriend is the crazy conspirator they now think. I wrote
to that sweet wall flower girl, who writes all in lower case. Boy,
she's gotten up a head of steam today. She's going to be accused by
the Grand Inquisitor next, no doubt.

What do you suppose the Editors will make of this, since they think
that Sam and I (I didn't know it was him I am so stunned! What a
laugh. He was all apologetic and I couldn't stop laughing) were
conspiring with LeKZ to post for her? I don't know the lady. I'm
sure she's a sweetheart (specially since people who think so clear
think she's a nutcase) but I wouldn't know. We're conspiring to post
on her behalf... that's just priceless. Sam's going to be drily
philosphical about it, like he is about everything.

Well, I gotta go. I'm going to make sure there's nothing abusive in
this before I send a copy to the Editors... no, how's this? I'll do
that now, then I and you both send copies so they have it from me and
from you, and maybe one or the other of us they'll believe?

Please inform me regarding my rights of intellectual property, not
regarding the BBC, who I know I gave co-copyright, but other

See this link here,

0821, where that smart-mouth youngster Hoovooloo thinks he's going to
take my comments from this post here,
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F82087?thread=160325&post=1627644#p162
7644, and turn them into a university project article.

I don't see as how I necessarily want him to do this, especially
since I'm not sure I'd write that article for him if you let me back
on your service, because I think he's a very rude young man. I
didn't know this about him before. In regular day-to-day life you
can't pick your colleagues. In recreation, if it's going to be fun,
you don't work with, let alone for anybody you think is kind of a
snotty kid with a big mouth. So, I'm asking you to let me know, can
he or someone else use the ideas I put in my post, whether or not I'm
credited, to write a thing of his own?

If I can, I specifically request that he and nobody else is allowed
to do that. It may be obvious now, but it took me to point it out to
them. The BBC co-owns this and every word I said there, but if you
don't let me back on, and I hope you do, for a lot of reasons that
I'll tell you in a minute, please just make that posting of mine
disappear, and insist that kid don't try anything funny with making
like he thought of it himself. He can read Thomas Kuhn and Darwin
thirty years ago and come up with it himself, like I did.

Why I'd appreciate you letting me use this service you have there:
1) I'm an invalid. I really need the entertainment. There's nothing
wrong with my brain, just my heart's broken. I can't socialize,
because I need to lay down all the time. I've always been a little
guy, now I'm underweight, and look like photos from the Death Camps.
A little intelligent good cheer would be nice.

2) You've got a good site there, with good opportunities for people
like me, who just want to write a little and socialize a little.
It's well designed and all, but the best thing is the people aren't
all little kids and college age types, or worse, out on the internet
looking for dates. This is a pleasant sort of environment for an
older man who doesn't get out.

3) I am not LeKZ. I don't post for other people. I wouldn't post
for her even if I would have known her before, because that's not
ethical. I'm in law enforcement with medical training. The ethics
are pretty rigorous. There's nothing stinkier than a corrupt doctor
or cop. But I'm not real impressed with corrupt anybody. Do the
right thing, already! The general trend online, from the people that
are willing to let their names be seen, looks like going against your
foolish allegation. I don't want to make a stink. I would like to
have some fun. I'm not scared that they are going to prove later
that I'm LeKZ because I've been the same guy since my mother had me
on a snowy February 20th in 1949. This conspiracy thing is very
funny, but I'm easily amused.

4) I'd like to write a few articles, in the time I got here, which is
only a couple months. Then I'm out to my sister, and I won't have as
much time, but sometimes I don't sleep real good and this would be a
thing I could do. I'm looking for a fun thing to do. I am not (this
is so ridiculous) looking for opportunities to be LeKZ and say things
for her. What did I say that she had to say so bad she'd need a
couple men that are older than she is, and pretty quiet, normally, to
say for her? If she wanted to say it that bad, she could probably do
it herself, but I don't see why she would care to. She's not as
interested in you as you all like to think she is.

5) I don't care, personally, so much. I found one good website, and
there's probably others. I know I didn't do what you said I did.
Sam defended me because I emailed him. He's a nice person, though
very, very serious. He and I both agree that what is important is to
clear LeKZ's name. If her own partner that lives with her has said
categorically no way no how is she us, and he's a respected member of
the community, then that's really a pretty screwy situation there.
How come there are people so ugly inside that they can't let go of
things and share a huge website with the lady? Don't you see how
that's the same ways of thinking that keep Arabs and Israelis and
Northern and Republican Ireland and enemy gangs going? It's the same
paranoid, angry, making the enemy worse than it could ever really be,
and forgetting there's human beings at stake. I'm one of them. So's
Sam. So's Dave, and so is LeKZ. You don't care if you're wrong?

That's the impression I'm getting. That's pretty ugly.

Sorry if this isn't quite what you want but I refuse to "prove"
anything to you, because I know I do not have to. It is my right and
the law, and you can keep feeding the paranoia or you can just tell
them to shut up and leave you alone, and let people have some peace.

Thank you, Dave, for posting them letters. Could you add this,
please?

I've been reading over at h2g2. What is this Pothole guy, an expert?
Everybody's an expert. Let me tell you something. When something
like asbestos is reduced to an aerosol, it's down to molecules. You
can't just wash it off. It's in the air in the baggie with the
tissue sample. It's intermingled with the smear of fatty tissue
that's all we have as a sample. It's also got molecular traces of
steel from where the building and the plane melted, and it's got
other toxins.

Who said anything about "dust" for crying out loud? What do you
think, this is a one horse operation? This is the City of New York,
trying to clean up the Pile because the decaying human remains are
becoming airborne biohazards to the whole city, and nobody knows
what's in the local rat population anymore on acount of they were
having a feast.

The Environmental Protection Agency, and everybody else downplayed
the danger in such a bad way. They didn't want to cause a panic.
Well there's firefighters that are going to be dying as fast as some
of us or faster, though they had better gear at first because nobody
bothered to tell us that there was everything from silica at the
molecular level to asbestos to steel down to its component atoms
embedded in every tissue sample.

Add to that I've been breathing formalin for 22 years, and they
didn't bother to notice it was really bad for you until about ten
years ago, and the department I worked for was cheap there and
wouldn't give masks to the lab techs, just the ones in the pit. This
Pothole don't know what he's talking about, but he sure likes to
talk. I wouldn't lie about I'm going to die. I got asbestos
molecules mixed up with my lung tissue. This is not like getting a
fiber in a segment of lung, which goes cancerous ten years later.
The stuff is in every last alveolus. Now, tell me, since this is
your area of expertise, how are you going to give me odds on that?

Figure in the formalin and other toxins any forensic pathologist is
exposed to that are abrasive to the lungs, and you've got something
nobody has really seen before, so they're telling me what they think.
I said on my page, I do not care for doctors, and this would be part
of why.

Are you a doctor, or just a smart-ass?

As for Hoovooloo, nice of you to prove my point, about your being
rude, but last I heard "not liking Hoovooloo" was not a banishable
offense, any more than "not proving you are not LeKZ".

What a mickey-mouse way to run a show. Is this for real?

Hi Murray Strauss.

We're replying to both your emails below, as they appear to ask the same
question about whether it's legal for people to use your contributions to
h2g2 in entries of their own.

We recommend you read the following Help Page and Conversation, in which
this very issue was discussed:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/writing-copyright
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F64497?thread=133624

Basically it is perfectly legal for h2g2 Researchers to take anything
anyone has contributed to h2g2 and to re-use it in h2g2 contributions of
their own. All we ask is that they credit the relevant Researcher(s),
though this isn't actually a legal requirement, as contributors also waive
their moral rights to any content they contribute to h2g2.

You do retain the copyright to anything you write on h2g2, but you grant
us a "perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive, *sublicenseable* right and
license to *use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create
derivative works from*, distribute, perform, play, and exercise all

We noticed at the end of your email below that you say:

> Post this in its entirety as evidence, please. MS

Does this mean that you'd like us to publish all your email correspondence
with us on h2g2? We obviously can't do it without your permission, but if
you would like to grant us permission, we can put up all your
correspondence (as long as we can put up *all* of it, not just some of
them).

Do let us know.

Got it, thanks. I hope you let me do it myself. I'd write a better
