I don't know, I think most people could agree that doxxing someone's wife
then threatening them is something to frown upon. If there are people
here who think that sort of thing is ok and that I should respect their
different view on that then, I guess fsxnet is no better than anywhere
else.

I saw the original post as being some what angry, but more of a PSA about
why they avoid fidonet (and probably a continuation of an earlier thread
about other networks - they mentioned their original message didn't send)

I think Vorlon overreacted, I don't know why, but his response seemed to
be very disproportionate to the original post.

Some things you can have opinions on, thats great. Pinapple on Pizza for
example. Making threats to peoples family not so much - and I wouldn't
lump that in with politics.

Many people come to fsxnet before attempting to sign up to fidonet.
Fidonet with their joining process can seem daunting to a new person
(though maybe that's changed) If I didn't already know, I would now know
not to bother.
