Subj : An appeal To : Bj”rn Felten From : Lee Lofaso Date : Mon Jan 08 2024 06:39:34 Hello Bj”rn, BF> An appeal to the four Useful Idiots, that now produce 98% of all messages BF> here: BF> Is it possible to convince you to limit yourselves to only reply to someone BF> else but your three sycophants? You do not understand. This is *not* a "free speech" echo. Never was. Never will be. It is in the rulz. As listed below. BF> Surely you must understand, that all four of you have been twitted a long BF> time ago. Only the hardcore free speech believer BBS sysops let your crap BF> get passed. One of the four Useful Idiots twits users of his own board, thus pre-empting hardcore free speech believer BBS sysops from viewing posts made by other free speech believers. BF> I myself, as one of those, am on the verge of activating my twit filter BF> unless you wake up to reality, and understand that you actually *are* just BF> Useful Idiots, and you contribute absolutely nothing to the POLITICS echo, BF> where once upon a time, the entire world could discuss *international* BF> politics. One of the four Useful Idiots has posted a set of rulz. And this Useful Idiot has made it quite clear what this echo is, and is all about - MP>POLITICS is for the discussion and debate of topical political MP>discussions, primarily involving an American point of view. See there? Politics, from an American point of view. You are Swedish, so you would not understand. MP>Due to the nature of these discussions, emotions can and will MP>run high. Translation: We love our guns. MP>The following policies are in place to keep the peace in here as MP>best as possible. Your participating in this echo implies implicit MP# Real names are required to be used in this echo. No aliases. If MP>your BBS software will not allow you to toggle between real name and MP>alias in the message header, sign your messages with your real name. I always use a real name when posting messages in this echo. Unscramble the letters and more real names can be revealed. MP># There is no such thing as "free speech" in this echo. MP>You can speak your mind within reason but the moderator reserves MP>the right to stop and immediately correct boorish behavior. The participants own this echo. Participants vote with their feet. Moderators are non-existent, as participants post whatever they want with no pre-screening. MP>We're all adults; let's act like it. MP>There are other political, "free speech" echos on Fidonet. Yeah. Right. The one in MP's own head. For Life, Lee -- Free Palestine! --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: news://eljaco.se:4119 (2:203/2) .
