Ärende: Fidonews Echo Rules
===========================

 BF>> So here it's OK to call you a real bastard and a asshole

 ml> if the rules and moderator of this echo allow for that type of
 ml> converstaion, then yes... FWIW: this is one of the things that was being
 ml> pointed out some time back in this echo when everything got all in an
 ml> uproar about the moderator not doing his job...

Allowed or not, where's the commomn sence?

 BF>> Since I don't call you that in other echoes I don't have to do it here
 BF>> either.

 ml> that's your choice...

Not so, It's my commom sence.

 ml> anyone can be a real bastard in another echo
 ml> (berating you for something) and be a real nice guy in another (helping
 ml> you to fix a problem)...

Then we are back to the double standards.

 BF>> Since I don't call you an asshole here I wouldn't do in another echo
 BF>> either. I happend to be polite no matter where I am.

 ml> that's fine... others aren't so polite... some rules are for folk other
 ml> than you ;)

Then we are back to common sence.

 BF>>> Wouldn't it be better if one would live the way one preach?

 ml>> yeah, right... look at all the preachers and ministers being busted for
 ml>> child molestation... good example?

 BF>> And we should sink as deep as they just because of that?

 ml> hunh? you used and analogy of living like a preacher... some preachers are
 ml> child molestors... if we lived like them, we'd all be child molestors...
 ml> that's why i asked you if your use of that analogy was a good example...

It's only a minority that's child molestors but they get all the attention,
just like
Fido. It's only a few that can't behave but they are heard in every echo.
I do read both FN_SYSOP and FIDO_SYSOP and even there they are very
unpleasant, calling eachother names I wouldn't even dream of using.

 BF>>> And now I see that Dan:s fanclub is acting as well. And I don't talk
 BF>>> about you.

 ml>> what fanclub? i'm not part of any fanclub... i'm just trying to explain
 ml>> to you how the network really works ;)

 BF>> As you see above I didn't talk about you

 ml> sorry... i misunderstood what you were saying... i thought you were saying
 ml> that you were not talking directly about me but those in dan's fanclub and
 ml> that you were including me in that fanclub...

Good we cleared that out.

 BF>> and if that's how this network really works, no wonder it's sinking and
 BF>> it makes me think about leaving for good as well.

 ml> no, that's what happens when folk don't understand what others are
 ml> saying... diety forbid i try to write to you in your native language ;)  i
 ml> know i'd be all over the place and many would have a fun time with my lack
 ml> of skills but would my statements and questions be understood and
 ml> responded to? you write english a lot better than i would your native
 ml> tongue... sometimes, though, it is rough for me to catch what it is that
 ml> you are really saying...

Then, let's do it the way we did above, in a normal civil manner.

 BF>> You heard me.

 ml> but you haven't said /what/ to see... only see above... but exactly what
 ml> part covers it?? not that it really matters at this time ;)

Let's leave it then.

 ml>> he still hasn't apologized and i don't expect others to apologize to him
 ml>> until then, either... oh well...

 BF>> See, no one is willing to start, instead they all keep drilling more
 BF>> holes in an aldready sinking ship.

 ml> that's what happens when a bunch of grumpy old farts get together and
 ml> demand their way of everyone no matter who ;)

It seems you got that part right.
And why I didn't apologize is because, IIRC, that guy was one of those who
made WHAT'S_HOT to dissapear and I never heard an apology for that.
I just dislike fanatics, in whatever shape they appear. Direct them all to
POLITICS where they all belong.

 BF>> And I wonder why Dan i so silent. Haven't he got something to say for
 BF>> himself?

 ml> he's reveling in all the free advertising for POL_INC that everyone is
 ml> doing for him while they talk about how they want to destroy it O:)  BTW:
 ml> that, too, is another hole in the boat...

It's sinking faster now, isn't it?
Wonder who's gonna drill the last hole......
