Hello Ward,
Freedom of speech and expression is the mark of an open society.
There are limits to free speech and you have crossed these multiple times.
Use the <N>ext key, Luke. It is part of your unlimited free speech.
Your freedom ends where mine begins and when some of the most enjoyable people that remain in Fidonet tell me they are intending to close their node just because they had their fill of you then I guess the moment for action is near.
"My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to
be unpopular." ~Adlai Stevenson
Such is the beauty of unlimited free speech. Adlai loved it so much
he became a two-time loser to Dwight Eisenhower. But in the end he
won, never having to apologize for lying to the American people.
You do remember the Gary Powers incident? It truly shocked the
American people. At least at the time. Finding out their president
was a bald-faced liar.
I wonder what that says about you? And your fellow sysops who seek
to run out of town anybody who disagrees with your (plural) POV?
It certainly makes for a smaller Fidonet. Much smaller. With fewer
and fewer sysops and sysop wannabes wanting to play your silly games.
I'm not the only ZC who's had his belly full of your interventions and I
can
imagine that certain individuals become annoyed enough to take action. As you have no Fidonet presence, not against you but against the entity which provides you this unrestricted forum without the slightest respect by you for how others are affected by this.
Then leave. Nobody is stopping you. Don't just talk about it.
Do it!
"Patterning your life around other's opinions is nothing more than
slavery." ~Lawana Blackwell
Time for you to man up and quit being a horse's ass! You claim
you are fed up. And yet you whine like a small child crying to his
mommy. If you don't like it here, leave!
Build your own little pigpen, and invite your playmates to join you!
That would work just fine! And I promise not to join your pigsty!
However, this is Fidonet. Where unlimited free speech rules ...
Of course, this message again will spark a torrent of blabberings which I will completely ignore.
And yet you still can't figure out how to use the <N>ext key.
OTOH, maybe it's broken and nobody knows how to fix it ...
As my fortune cookie once said "Interesting times lie ahead".
I cannot help you, for I am just a cookie.
