Ärende: Fidonews Echo Rules
===========================
 BF>> So here it's OK to call you a real bastard and a asshole

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

 BF> Allowed or not, where's the commomn sence?

who ever said anything in fidonet had anything to do with common sense? O:)

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

 ml> that's your choice...

 BF> Not so, It's my commom sence.

'k...

 ml> anyone can be a real bastard in another echo
 ml> (berating you for something) and be a real nice guy in another (helping
 ml> you to fix a problem)...

 BF> Then we are back to the double standards.

no, that's not a double standard... sorry...

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

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

 BF> Then we are back to common sence.

hahaha...

 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?

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

 BF> It's only a minority that's child molestors 

yeah, but you know that someone would choose one of those minority to pattern
themselves after ;)

 BF> but they get all the attention, just like Fido. It's only a few 
 BF> that can't behave but they are heard in every echo. I do read 
 BF> both FN_SYSOP and FIDO_SYSOP 

i don't read or carry either... there's a reason for that ;)

 BF> and even there they are very unpleasant, calling eachother 
 BF> names I wouldn't even dream of using. 

ok, maybe several reasons why i don't read or carry them O:)  they should take
all that crap to the FLAME echo and keep it in there...

 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 explain
 ml>> to you how the network really works ;)

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

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

 BF> Good we cleared that out.

yes...

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

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

 BF> Then, let's do it the way we did above, in a normal civil manner. 

sure, i don't see any reason not to... at least we aren't talking about
something that either one of us is very passionate about O:)

 BF>> You heard me.

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

 BF> Let's leave it then.

no problem...

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

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

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

 BF> It seems you got that part right.
 BF> And why I didn't apologize is because, IIRC, that guy was one of
 BF> those who made WHAT'S_HOT to dissapear and I never heard an apology

ahhhhh... i wondered what the deal was with that... i saw the moderator removed
it from open distribution for some reason... AFAIK, it is still available but
only thru private distribution...

 BF> for that. I just dislike fanatics, in whatever shape they appear.
 BF> Direct them all to POLITICS where they all belong.

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

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

 BF> It's sinking faster now, isn't it? Wonder who's gonna drill the 
 BF> last hole......

i dunno but there are several pools as to who will be the one to tunr out the
lights after everyone else leaves ;)
