-> Re: Fidonews Echo Rules

 DC> Because Mikey asked you too.

 BF> He can ask as much as he want to, I still don't play either his or
 BF> your game. 

I didn't ask you to play a game.  I asked you to abide by the rules.  

 BF>> Be the one you are instead of trying to be someone you aren't.
 DC> I am being me.  The games I play in the Echoes are with puns or cascade
 DC> threads.

 BF> ?

The primary reason I like FIDO is for humor.  Coming up with puns are 
for laughs.  (I'm asuming you know what a pun is.)  So are 'cascades', 
but that will take a bit longer to explain.  

 
 BF>> Join us in COFFEE_KLATSCH where we haven't any moderator or any rules
 
 DC> I've been in there before and I found it boring.  I found other Echoes
 DC> that more than occupy enough of my time.

 BF> Boring?
 BF> You think that beeing civil and nice to eachother is boring?

Where did I say that civility in and of itself is boring?  That's 
right, Bjorn, I didn't.  What you did was once again to try to place 
words into my mouth.  

I don't care if you don't like my assement of that Echo.  I only told 
you that it was an Echo I didn't frequent anymore.  Not every Echo 
is for everyone.  After all, if that was the case, why have another 
Echo?  

 
 DC>> After all, you both already stated that you voted with your feet.  It's a
 DC>> pity that you both can't get POL_INC out of your psyche.
 
 BF>> Somehow it's a mirror of how the entire Fidonet works.
 
 DC> It's not a mirror.  What I described is an obsession on Mikey's part.  Are
 DC> you going to join in on it?

 BF> Why should I? As I aldready siad, I don't "play" either of yours
 BF> "game". 

See?  Your still playing the game!  All you had to do is let my last 
statements drop.  But, you had to continue, didn't you.  


 DC>> But I also think that you want a forum to place your ideas.
 BF>> Not place, discuss.
 
 DC> You can't discuss something that hasn't been entered into Echo can you.

 BF> And when I do it doesn't suit you.

You can't be that dense.  I've told you more than once that the prime 
caveat of that Echo is to not attack another poster.  That does NOT 
mean that another's ideas cannot be attacked.  If you try to tell me 
that "1+1 = 3" I go after that idea you placed.  At the same time, 
I will not call you an idiot because you wrote that per the Echo Rules.  
And, just for the fun of it, I can show you how 1+1=3 could be correct.  

Care to bet on it?  

 BF>> example. He, still after 60 years, claims that the rest of the world owns
 BF>> USA a lot and that Bush is the closest to a God as one can get.
 
 DC> That's his opinion.  Yours may, nay, does vary.  As such I suggest that
 DC> you discuss that with Frank.

 BF> That's the problem. It's impossible to do that.

Then don't message with him.  After all, is he sitting behind you as 
you type forcing you to respond to him?  

 DC> Has it ever occurred to you that I'm considered the "nasty liberal" by
 DC> many of those in that Echo?  And, consider further that my co-Mod in
 DC> POL_INC is considered the "nasty conservative" in POL_INC?

 BF> For me it's a problem to put my finger on what you really are. Alan on
 BF> the other hand I find more democratic.

The only way you will find out is to message.  And, more importantly, 
ask the right questions.  I know you are not an English speaker.  As 
such, I've given you far more leeway on your posts in that Echo that 
you will ever know.
