[AfrICANN-discuss] deceptive use of false online identity by Sophia Bekele (.AFRICA applicant)

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

Sophia, Sophia, Sophia,

not only lying to the list, but also to a journalist? They don't like that...

You have been using this identity as early as 2010 and I haven't even start looking in detail.

This might be 'covered by federal computer fraud legislation against "accessing a computer without authorization via interstate commerce"' (Wikpedia) in other words this is criminal, because Yahoo and Gmail are located in the US and I am sure one would find from the IP addresses you used, that at least sometimes you did this from US soil.

I have asked you a while back to come clean, but you didn't. 

I shall request that the list maintainer removes you from this list.

>> The name Sophia Bekele seem to agitation them on the list and get them in Frenzy. They have even blocked "Sophia Bekele" ID on the list  in the past and did not allow me to post, which was only resolved by someone's intervention  This is a well known fact on the list and they claimed technical problems on their side.  This is because they did not consider me part of their community.  The open display of hatred, aggression and personal anonymity towards my person and DCA is compelling me to post under Lerato Ma.

>> There is nothing to hide, it is just to protect myself from all that aggression. It is not an important issues for us.
