Free Muglack and Free the Press

Section I: Rights of Citizens
I.1) All citizens shall have the right to participate in all aspects of game-play as governed by game mechanics, forum masking or IRC permissions unless specifically prohibited by law.
It is his right to publish anything he wants in game as a private citizen.
He wasn’t governed by the Rules of Order and Decorum at the time of this or other articles as he wasn’t in Congress.
Muglack has received a temporary ban on the eCan forums pending his court case for publishing Closed Door Congress material that he received from someone with CDC access.
A temp ban is a violation of his Rights and Freedoms under the Charter as publishing CDC material is not specifically prohibited by law. While it may be the right of the Supreme Court to do this, I can’t find anything stating this though, it is a violation of his rights and freedoms.
Current Speakers ruling: “At the time of CDC screenshot posting, Muglack was not a congressman thus never broke any rules because the current rules only apply to Congressman. Whoever provided Muglack with the screenshots can be convicted but the knowledge of who provided Muglack with said screenshots may never be known.
So as Speaker it is my duty to enforce and make sure the rules of Congress are being followed and seeing how neither persons have broken any rules, it is not up to me if they are suspended. It is ultimately the Courts ruling and if the Courts finds them guilty and asks for the suspension I will gladly do so.”
He hasn’t been found guilty of anything
At best he should be asked to give up his source and provide any proof
eCanada should get rid of CDC and leave military planning to the executive and military advisors, not Congress. You’re a fool if you believe CDC was ever closed.
Muglack is a newly elected Congressman and it is his right to have access to ODC and CDC, if he breaks the trust while in Congress then burn him at the stake.
Free Muglack, go ahead with the court case but give the man his access
PS. this is my first serious article so be gentle

Trolololo. ban inc
I like the cut of your jib Blagota.
Talk dirty broken english to me.
I guess this is similar to when journalists recieve tips.
But this only hurts the privileges of Congressmembers in the long run. Whoever (Trent) leaked the thread just denied Congress a considerable degree of input, as it should be.
Jail muglack until I drive a spaceship to work
Is that because you think my ass is out of this world?
There was a time when it was worth the fight to free Muglack, but now...
Yeah Mugs, Beeman is jelly
Disolve the constitution
"There was a time when it was worth the fight to free Muglack, but now..."
It's the same fight it was a 9 months ago, the new you just doesn't see it Addy. These 3 months have been hard on you. It's ok, I understand.
Rylde: I like the cut of your jib Blagota.
Talk dirty broken english to me.
Rylde wins another comment of the week award. Congrats.
So, centralize decision making, make it easier for foreign spies to see what we're up to and what our capacities are, and make a martyr out of those who put in jeopardy our glorious plans for military supremacy and thus hurt our chance of spreading our trolls and lulz to the world?
Count me out.
Prosecute Muglack! \o/
Octavian fails for not reading then trying to make a intelligent comment.
I said get rid of CDC and any military planning can be done in the executive.
Why planning is done in CDC is beyond me as its never been secure. The only reason its come to light publicly is becuase Addy tried to include Congress in everything and got burned.
Just this morning, a group of PTOers were banned from the forum. Previously they were denied masking, preventing them from accessing Closed Door Congress. Their behaviours were specifically prohibited by the "honesty and good faith duty". Same with Muglack - at least arguably... the court will determine. I understand that an alleged offender will always complain that his behaviour was not prohibited with sufficient specificity. Always there will be the plea for greater and greater specificity. eCanada previously travelled that road. As explained in judge Maher's reasons for judgement, it now travels a different highway: one which respects and enforces reasonable community expectations, balances harm against benefit, and considers motivation and mitigating circumstances.
"I understand that an alleged offender will always complain that his behaviour was not prohibited with sufficient specificity."
Wrong again Oliver, wrong again.
I said what I did wasn't in violation of the rules they posted because as I wasn't a member of congress at the time I couldn't be held responsible for violating the Code of Conduct for that body. I never once argued that should I be brought up on charges for not dealing in "honesty and good faith" would I be innocent of the cries against me.
How can I, who brought Aeriala up on charges for calling a name, turn around and cry foul when I'm brought up on charges for something as equally trivial? That ain't my style.
😁😁^
agreed muglack, entirely agreed (except the trivial). Its just that the author of the article, crissfire, seems to have overlooked the point which you grant. Frankly, may i repeat what I think I said a few times previously: you acquitted yourself very honourably while speaker of the house, making difficult rulings which were intellectually honest, fair and decent. You displayed similar integrity when you would have benefited from an innapropriate impeachment. Indeed, there have been many occasions when you have impressed deeply.
this last episode was in a different vein, similar to the "I am the one who stole all the money and I fabricated all the evidence" 🙂.
As to my being wrong, that is entirely possible. I am often mistaken. We should talk more.
I think the issue we run into while trying to find a common ground Oliver is that I'm a complicated man and no one understands me but my woman...
Or maybe that's Shaft.
Even I can't tell the difference some days.
You "player's" are so funny. You make up the rules as you go along, after the fact. Pretend everyone should of known them, before you thought of them.
What party does he belong to? Oh I guess I am against him then. Let's make up a new rule retro active. Then write a bunch of paragraphs of bullshit like it actually matters. F- off. with your tiresome B.S. I have seen this story line way to many times.
@Crisfire I haz teh intelligencez! \o/
@ Exalted Druid
Most accurate words ever spoken on eRep
It wasn't an unanimous decision, but the majority win.

Muglack could regain a lot of credibility if he would just name who gave him the screenshots...till then it sounds like Mug is a threat to national security. Sorry buddy you heard about what loose lips do...
Ban all Roleplay
You’re a fool if you believe CDC was ever closed. x 2
FREE MUGLACK!!
Being in congress 3 times I'll admit Closed door congress was never closed,
It's how he got that information is what scares me. If Muglack could have got it anyone in Canada could do it.
"It's how he got that information is what scares me. If Muglack could have got it anyone in Canada could do it."
I take that as an insult. If I could get it anyone could? How dare you sir!
[removed]
what i meant was that you showed us how open CDC was and that practicially anyone could get information if they wanted to.
Don't forget to bring a towel
Just as a public reminder: the Congress Rules of Order applies to EVERYONE with access to ODC and CDC, and it always has been like that since the creation of the CDC.
For the rest, as you wish.
I didn't have access to CDC in any way shape or form.
