You lost the debate if all you can do is resort to a spit spewing tirade.

Which all I have seen you do is grill Hulett and expect specific answers from
him.

But I havent moderated anyone for this, seems to me the only moderating that
has been going on was against content being drug into here from other echoes
and for people arguing with the moderators.

Maybe if you start qualifying your debating points with adult debate and not
childish outbursts and name calling, nah, I am asking too much.

Is it me or has Mr Wilson noticed this as well?

Irrelevant, you bringing up and ptotesting the usage of his name is a
diversion.

I was there at the creation of MATZDOBRE, it later became a roasting pit for
Sauer and Chirnside, both willing participants..

Right now its just a wide open echo.

The Wittless echo was Bob Seaborns thing and never was backboned, it wasa
private echo.

I told you that the expressed purpose of this echo was to open it up for
religious debate, the old days are gone.

No longer is the days of Fidonet when you had thousands or hundreds of sysops
and users to choose from, what we have left is a network of diehards whom
prefer Fidonet to usenet. The style of this echo no longer fits that mold,
given the subject matter.

You aint going to have debating opponents on the subject matter if you drive
them away.

 RC>> and are you not belittling Ed Hulett now over his Mormon faith and
 RC>> your perception of his faith?

 GD> I've seen his lack of faith in his holy book in action.  This Echo is

I didnt say otherwise.

But he is also free to question your beliefs or anyone elses.

 GD> No, I blamne those that he intrusted with that knowledge from abusing it.


No, Sauer didnt entrust anyone with confidential details with any assurances of
secrecy, he foolishly sent it to prove some point that he didnt have to prove.

 GD> The entering of this Echo meant that one's religious beliefs were
 GD> fully open to question. Other personal business was not on the table.

Change that to read that enterring this echo, means everyones beliefs or lack
thereof, are open to question.

"Belief" extends beyond religion, but you knew that.
