There was some discussion earlier about the angriest man in Sweden and his behaviour and I had something to share but it of course never left my BBS because of incorrect settings in Binkd. 

For some reason, this guy decided he didn't like me. He was friendly at first but then he started to post angry messages to me so I made it clear I would simply leave Fidonet.  This was after I designed a new website for Fidonet and was simply asking for feedback. 

Anyway, one day he posted private information about my then wife - her name, where she worked and so on - in a public forum. I of course didn't take this well so I sent him netmail asking wtf he was doing and he just replied "her information is safe with me, for now...". 

The man is not only bat shit crazy, he is also dangerous. 

It's because of him, and others like him, that Fidonet never gets another chance. Every new user is met with endless arguments and fighting from him and others over the smallest of details and larger issues like who is the moderator over echo X or Y, the election of said moderator was invalid, etc. Rince, repeat.  

It's sad that they don't realize they are fighting over a castle of sand which is disappearing more and more every day.
