Ärende: Fidonews Echo Rules
===========================
 BF>> So, to survive on Fido I must have one behaviour for each 
 BF>> echo.....

 ml> nope... take the FLAME echo as another example... anything goes in
 ml> there... other echos are very tight in keeping their discussions
 ml> centered around the main theme of the echo... still others don't 
 ml> really care what is discussed... some don't care about any type of 
 ml> fighting between the users while others don't allow personal 
 ml> attacks...

 BF> So here it's OK to call you a real bastard and a asshole 

if the rules and moderator of this echo allow for that type of converstaion,
then yes... FWIW: this is one of the things that was being pointed out some
time back in this echo when everything got all in an uproar about the moderator
not doing his job...

 BF> but if I should meet you in another echo you're a real nice guy.

or not ;)

 BF> Since I don't call you that in other echoes I don't have to do it
 BF> here either. 

that's your choice... anyone can be a real bastard in another echo (berating
you for something) and be a real nice guy in another (helping you to fix a
problem)...

 BF>> even more of double standards then I thought.

 ml> no, not at all... remember, each echo is, in similar fashion to a bbs,
 ml> like someone's home... their echo, their rules... sometimes,
 ml> however, you can't tell whose "home" it really is due to other 
 ml> traditions and rules not being followed...

 BF> Since I don't call you an asshole here I wouldn't do in another
 BF> echo either. I happend to be polite no matter where I am.

that's fine... others aren't so polite... some rules are for folk other than
you ;)

 BF>> Wouldn't it be better if one would live the way one preach?

 ml> yeah, right... look at all the preachers and ministers being busted for
 ml> child molestation... good example?

 BF> And we should sink as deep as they just because of that?

hunh? you used and analogy of living like a preacher... some preachers are
child molestors... if we lived like them, we'd all be child molestors... that's
why i asked you if your use of that analogy was a good example...

 BF>> And now I see that Dan:s fanclub is acting as well. And I don't talk
 BF>> about you.

 ml> what fanclub? i'm not part of any fanclub... i'm just trying to
 ml> explain to you how the network really works ;)

 BF> As you see above I didn't talk about you 

sorry... i misunderstood what you were saying... i thought you were saying that
you were not talking directly about me but those in dan's fanclub and that you
were including me in that fanclub...

 BF> and if that's how this network really works, no wonder it's 
 BF> sinking and it makes me think about leaving for good as well.

no, that's what happens when folk don't understand what others are saying...
diety forbid i try to write to you in your native language ;)  i know i'd be
all over the place and many would have a fun time with my lack of skills but
would my statements and questions be understood and responded to? you write
english a lot better than i would your native tongue... sometimes, though, it
is rough for me to catch what it is that you are really saying...

 BF>>> Talk about double standards!!!!!!!!

 ml>> nope... double standard would be if he was using personal
 ml>> attacks in his echos... that's the only place where it would 
 ml>> apply as a double standard...

 BF>> See above.

 ml> what?

 BF> You heard me.

but you haven't said /what/ to see... only see above... but exactly what part
covers it?? not that it really matters at this time ;)

 BF>>> And the "war" between USA and the rest of the world keeps going
 BF>>> on.....

 BF>>> Don't you think YOU should apologize to David?

 ml>> david hasn't apologized to many others that he has attacked...
 ml>> what makes him so special as to warrant an apology??

 BF>> It isn't David who's on the wallpaper now.

 ml> he still hasn't apologized and i don't expect others to apologize to him
 ml> until then, either... oh well...

 BF> See, no one is willing to start, instead they all keep drilling
 BF> more holes in an aldready sinking ship.

that's what happens when a bunch of grumpy old farts get together and demand
their way of everyone no matter who ;)

 BF> And I wonder why Dan i so silent. Haven't he got something to say
 BF> for himself? 

he's reveling in all the free advertising for POL_INC that everyone is doing
for him while they talk about how they want to destroy it O:)  BTW: that, too,
is another hole in the boat...
