Subj : Ward To : All From : Sean Dennis Date : Mon Jan 10 2022 05:06 pm If any of you are surpised by Ward's filthy language, he's been talking like this about me for the past 25 years. This is no surprise to me as he hates me passionately for my citizenship and politics are not like his and it makes him hate me so. The best thing to do is just to ignore him and his ilk; once you quit feeding their egos they will go elsewhere to get the attention they so desire. Ward is a pain everywhere he appears and often uses backhanded tactics to gain illicit access to areas he doesn't belong or just plain threatens people until they give in. Ward has no power in this echo and don't let him make you think he does. That is why I am relentlessly moderating him so Ward realizes that unless he cleans up his act, I do not want him here. If he threatens you in private (which he has been known to do), just ignore him. Ward misses the zone wars of the late 90s and he still thinks that being a zone coordinator--which is nothing more than an overglorified nodelist clerk--gives him some sense of power in this now-decentralized network. I recommend using a twit filter if you are able to; it'll make participating in Fidonet much more enjoyable since the Fidonet administration is neutered in every way and cannot police their own. This is the last I will mention this in the echo publicly. I apologize for the filthy language being used in here by Ward and possibly others but I will do my best to stop this. -- Sean FIDOGAZETTE Moderator ___ MultiMail/FreeBSD v0.52 --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: Outpost BBS (1:18/200) .
