Mr.Fish, as you mentioned you were banned from LinuxChix but only
because you refused to change your trollish language and sexist
behavior. Feel free to do what ever you want to do in life, but please
dont ask women to tolerate 'sexist' behavior.

Women anywhere should not have to tolerate negative behavior
especially when men continue to abuse them under the guise of being a
supporter.  That is not acceptable and also against the Ubuntu
philosophy.

So, this is to inform the list that you are being un-subscribed from
this list and  the admins of IRC or Forums are requested to do the
same if Mr.Fish trolls there too.

Thanks,
