Hello Björn,

 BF>>> Please Lee, leave it alone.

 LL>> Oops.
 LL>> I forgot.
 LL>> The First Rule of Trolling - Never Tango With A Troll
 LL>> The Second Rule of Trolling - There is no Second Rule

 BF> Don't you dare give me shit like that!

You right.  That was very childish of me.  My apologies
to you, and to all.  I should not have gone off the handle
like that.

 BF> I always stood behind you and supported you when you were banned from all
 BF> over fidonet, and you know that.

Nobody was banned from fidonet.  A megolomaniac on an egotrip
was flaming me and others in an effort to silence those of his
own choosing.

To your credit, you did take a stand against censorship.  Others
did, too.  As such, they also deserve credit.

I am not interested in revisiting the past.  I doubt anybody
else is, either.  We are all sick and tired of the petty games
that have been played over the years.  It is time to move on.

Now that the censorship wars are over, and have been for a very
long time, let us all join hands together and sing Kum-Ba-Ya.

 BF> Now I'm telling you that the war is over. Please do not act like those
 BF> Japanese soldiers that kept on fighting in some obscure jungle for 30-40
 BF> odd years after the peace broke out.

Nobody needs, or wants, a neverending war.
Not in Fidonet.  Not in the real world, either.

War is hell, and I wish there would never be any
wars ever again.  Not even flame wars in Fidonet.
Wars are destructive, and never constructive.
How can sysops hope to bring in new sysops when
everybody is insulting everybody all the time?
We are supposed to be adults here.  And I am not
sure if anybody qualifies.

Time for me to man up and quit acting like a small
child.  Like I said, it was my fault for flying off
the handle.  But none of us are truly innocent.  We
all have a bit of growing up to do.  So let's quit
blaming others and do something positive.  Such as
building up a community rather than tearing it down.

End of rant.

Villanova!  Geaux Wildcats!  NCAA Men's Basketball Champs!
