 FV> I'm not.

I'm not either, considering the back-ground of the editor and the writer.

Probably don't give a damn what the writer thinks.


 FV> 1. are literate enough to flame, but not literate enough to write

You can't say that until such time as the next 3 or 4 issues are published.
See,
two people can enter into a conspiracy and try to fool everyone.

 FV> 2. ,contrary to claims, enjoy the arguments, battles and flames ... or
 FV> else they really don't have the guts and honor.

Actually, you've been away too long. Until the editor spoke up with another of
his USA insults, it was peaceful in the echo. Even I co-operated with the new
moderator, for a time.

 FV> It appears that this echo may well be a good cross section of the
 FV> current Fidonet mentality ... or at least the vocal mentality.

Or you're mistaken, which means that your article was pure bullshit.

 FV> Of course, the response would be that the Fidonews Editor should take
 FV> the first step.

The step he should take, and it's been said many times here; he should give up
as the editor of FIDONEWS.

 FV> However, the Editor DID publish the article.

Of course he did. You didn't expect him not to, did you? Printing your article
bolsters his position.

 FV> And, from the resounding silence, it would appear that, other than this
one
 FV> reply, which did not state a desire, the "people" have spoken.

No sense in making a fuss over something that isn't true. All publishing did
was
prove you're both in bed together.

 FV> Yes, claims of refusal of articles and other such will resound. I do
 FV> wonder if those who will complain the most about refusal of articles
 FV> actually understand the difference between an article, threats,
 FV> accusations, attacks, challenges and other such things in/while
 FV> writing.

I assume so, since all of those have lived up to there word...

 FV> I must admit that I often do not know the difference ... but
 FV> I do get it right now and then. :)

I'll believe the first part, but you're mistaken again on the second part.
