Hello Roger,


 FV> I will just say that in a sense, Björn has been a man.
 RN> There is a gigantic gap between being a man and being stubborn.

Ok.

 FV> He is still here. Yes, he has brought everything upon himself.
 RN> I agree.

Yup.

 FV> That happens is situations like this. Editors throughout time have
 FV> the same problem.
 RN> If that were true, then how would you go about explaining editors all

Probably because those editors don't have a forum or message area to
deal with. They get the same complaints, but really do ignore them as
long as the rag sells and makes a profit. The owners could care less
as long as the money rolls in. When the money stops, the owners get
the chopping block out and the editorship changes hands. We don't have
that here.

 FV> Who could the job be passed on to that doesn't have some "ax to

 RN> That's up to him.  So far, he hasn't been a man and relieved himself

And what if he passed it on to Michiel van der Vlist? Be careful what
you wish for. :)

 FV> Of course, but maybe ... I am twitted and I did have one article
 FV> that did not get published.
 RN> Someone twitted you?

You read the Z1C echo.

 FV> Of course, neither was, or is, enough to concern me.
 RN> Nor should it.  We can't focus our entire lives on this situation.  We
 RN> have other responsibilities, but if nothing is said about it, then
 RN> that means we are going along with it.  Right?

Are we? Or are we making it worse? Each will decide for themselves.

FV> ... I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
 RN> Right around the corner from FIDONEWS?
 FV> In the sun. :)
 RN> I hope you're not a vegetarian.  (-:

Or a vegetable. I need water.

 FV> Please understand that I have "suffered" the same things that Björn
 FV> is and that Sean will. I see things a bit different.
 RN> Some animosity is to be expected and that animosity has an agenda.

That is what I am saying. Some don't get it.

 FV> Björn has survived. In one sense, that makes him a "man". No more
 FV> or less than any other, but still.
 RN> I disagree.

Ok.

Sdrager,
Knarf
