Ärende: The second paper tiger election concluded
=================================================
Hello Björn,

 LL>> Will you honor any request an individual who claims
 LL>> to be moderator makes?

 BF> Tell you what, I'm so fed up with all the petty squabble in fidonet now,
I'm
 BF> on the verge of throwing a brick through my monitor.

I saw an NFL football player challenge another NFL football
player to a fistfight, live on national television.  He took
off his helmet, and the other guy knocked him out cold with
one clean punch to the head.  After the game, the football
player who lost his head admitted it was pretty dumb of him
to have taken off his helmet, and got what he deserved.

So, before you do anything rash, remember to protect your
own head first.  You can thank me later.

 BF> I still have not come to terms with the fact that I will never ever again
--
 BF> after 46 years together -- see, hug, smell, talk to, kiss or make love to
 BF> my beloved Anita. Not a minute goes by without some reminder of her here
at
 BF> home, with thousands of big as well as small details that she was part of
 >> getting here...

It is not possible to get over the loss of a loved one.
What happens is that other person becomes part of you.
Others see that, even if you cannot see it yourself.

 BF> So how much do you think I care about a fucking paper tiger election?

It is an entertainment for most, if not all, who are here.
Our own way of having fun.  Totally meaningless, yes.  But
also fun.  Even if it is admittedly a bit demented.  ;)

 BF> I'm only glad that the few people from the peanut gallery here, that have
 BF> *DEMANDED* that I call for an election for a decade now, finally
discovered
 BF> that it worked anyway, as soon as someone said lemme, lemme, lemme --
 BF> rather than *their* eternal gimme, gimme, gimme.

Isn't that the way democracy supposed to work?
The will of the people [sysops]?
