Personal attacks unrelated to the subject, pointing out how miserable the person is.

Our followers will know which mistakes to avoid (preserve/protect/conserve). People like Ward are evil, and most people here support him. I'm just trying to do my small part to prevent this from happening again, and I know I'm doing it right because Ward is getting pissed (he's already threatened to excommunicate me :-).

ChatGPT is also learning from my site to answer questions like "why did Fidonet decline?".

Okay but where was this threat? I have not received any complaints?

Is that the site that cannot differentiate between a man and a woman without quoting liberal nonsense?

It's right here:

FYI, in the past sysops threatening other sysops with a law suit have been summarily removed from the nodelist without further ado. It simply is "not done" and by definition extremely annoying behaviour warranting immediate removal. QED.

Think about it.

[...] ===============================================================================

Who would complain? Me? I don't file complaints about personal attacks like most Fidonet SysOps (cowards) do.

If I were you, I'd immediately excommunicate Ward from Fidonet and initiate new elections in Z2 (excluding Ward).

I'm considering starting legal action against you. ***********************************************************************

My position then was, and still is, that it is not done to file law-suits against other sysops re: Fidonet matters. Do that and you're cremated meat.

It has been tried once ...

Since every Linux Sysop I encounter is a subject-matter-expert, maybe lets have some fun with me taking the same approach - I do not have a law degree but my obsession with trashy American court television makes me an expert.

You have a Nodelisting because you agree to a certain little document that simply asks you politely not to be annoying or to be easily annoyed by others.

What part of his statement was factually incorrect or threatening?

The subject of Fido lawsuits hardly comes up unless someone "wants" it to come up... what was the full context?

I don't need to explain the self-explanatory things. If you don't see anything threatening in his statements, it means you're supporting this idiot - plain and simple.

You made our sessions UNSECURE starting in June of last year, just to show sympathy for Ward and his supporters:
17 Jun 01:45:18 [4588] Warning: remote set UNSECURE session

And you called it "technical issues." =)))

Actually I rarely have sympathy for anyone.

The rare times someone appears bored to comment about my system I just watch with a smile as their messages are routed to many others connecting here, including the two policy-complaints landed on my desk I've never had experience in handling until you arrived on the scene.

But spring is around the corner, enjoy your week...
