Ärende: Fidonet Trolls
======================
Hello Björn,

There is a huge difference between conversation, harrassment,
and threat.

I am very conscious of the difference between conversation
(opinion) - which I would never argue with - as each and every
participant in fidonet has the right to freedom of expression
in that regard.

Obviously, threats should never be tolerated in any forum,
whether intended as a joke or not.  That is something that
really should go without saying (no rights are absolute,
including freedom of speech/expression).

Harrassment and intimidation should never be tolerated in
fidonet, or on any social network.  Twitter has become the
social network of choice for those who love to play those
sort of games.  Fidonet has a few of them, whom most of
us are already quite familiar with (you know who they are).

It is only the harrassment/imtimidation type of fidonet
troll that we should concern ourselves with, as all other
types are quite harmless.

What do these evil fidonet trolls do?  Let me count thy ways -

* sexual harrassment
* racial harrassment
* personal harrassment
* bullying
* harrassment on grounds of sexual orientation
* harrassment of disabled people
* age harrassment
* stalking

Such fidonet trolls should never be fed so much as a peanut.

Certainly a Swede who believes in protecting human dignity,
the necessity of free expression and human rights would agree.

But I could be wrong.
