    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to All on Mon Feb 3 21:37:36 2020
    Hello Everybody,

    I have a serious question that needs to be answered.

    Is the Moon real?

    "If anyone reading this is near to the "poles" like south of the
    Falklands, Spitzenbergen etc I implore you to spend the money and send
    up a balloon with a camera, NOT fisheyed, and see that there is no end
    to what's beyond the ice barrier. This would be best at night so we can
    see that the Moon doesn't in fact exist as anything other than a
    reflection of the dark sky gases of the suns light. Like in so many
    other things, we are being lied to and exploited by evil men and
    women."

    And the hate continues on. Does it hurt to be so deceived and lied to? You'll believe anything.

    I should create a fresh account on a new bbs and act like a liberal and fill you with garbage that you'd have no problem believe as long as it's anti-trump.

    I bet it would be so easy. Problem is, I couldn't sustain such deceit for long.

    Daniel I think is a user of Digital Distortion BBS. Yes, there are still a few BBS users among us.

    I think that is the sysop's real name. I have used software he wrote, an editor for BBS use among other things and that is the name in the docs. When he uses a handle it is not Daniel.

    It doesn't shock me. One of the fallicies of a bad argument is the attempt
    to discredit an opponent instead of defending a position with fact and rhetoric. This is why I ignore the thread once they threaten me or make personal attacks. I know I've won. Such results only require a single

    Vietnam is a history lesson on war which took each and every death in absolute vain by the way it was concluded. Not only were the soldiers' deaths held

    And you compare Vietnam to a pandemic. How miserably twisted.

    I haven't voted for President since 2008 because it was clearly obvious
    that the system in California is corrupt. Votes don't count when ballots
    are harvested in Los Angeles. And even with two million of the 'voters' removed, it won't change that fact. I'll bet Los Angeles will count more
    votes than they have voters in November.

    You can't feel sorry for people you hate. So, here's the news: My 'ilk' as
    you call it will never be demolished by our form of government, namely the
    US Government. We've only seen socialist states do that to their kind.

    Socialists never think why that is. But, it's sad either way. We know
    better than to live a brainwashed life.

    Meanwhile, we will continue to operate our republic as our constitution
    grants us. We will also continue to have free speech regardless of what
    the left wants. Your 'ilk,' or the tyranny of the left, is dead.

    I think you're replying to the wrong person. I didn't write the message you quoted, and I rarely read the FIDONEWS echo..

    they were trying to draw you out to find out if you are a real person or not because someone took offense(?) with something (political) that one of your users (Daniel) wrote...

    so it started with just his use of only his first name instead of his first and last real name in his postings followed by a note that he wasn't listed as the sysop of the BBS he was using...

    that's another problem that many in here have glombed onto, too... they think that every poster is the sysop of the board they post from... this because BBS users are a rare commodity these days and most of the posters in here are sysops... plus the huge fact that so many in non-US locations haven't had users in like two decades which is/was generally blamed on the cost of local phone calls so they pushed folks more and more to being point systems and thus operators and we come full circle on the "all posters are operators" fallacy...

    so anyway, just another fidonet-style spat that someone stirred up... kinda like what we've seen in years past that many of us had thought was finally over with :shrug:

    You'll believe anything.

    The stats speak for themselves.

    You've been deceived.

    Donald Trump. 5 deferments. Bone Spur Cadet. A title well-deserved.

    Seems like you're making light of the situation.

    58K+ died, in both cases.
    Donald Trump refused to fight for either one of them.

    Do you celebrate these deaths?

    The current White House gift shop does, selling commemmorative
    coins of the dead at $125 a pop.

    Most of us view it as a tragedy and you see it as a hopeful way
    to win in politics.

    President Trump is blaming everybody except himself as being
    the cause. But everybody knows who or what is the real cause.

    Vietnam is a history lesson on war which took each and every death in absolute vain by the way it was concluded. Not only were the soldiers' deaths held in vain but those who survived were spit on by people like
    you.
    It was disgusting.

    John Kerry was a war hero who actually fought in Vietnam.
    Donald Trump is a chickenhawk who got 5 deferments as his
    means of avoiding service. At least George W. Bush did
    something, by defending the skies of Texas from the Viet
    Cong by joining the Texas Air National Guard - with a
    little help from his friends in high places.

    And you compare Vietnam to a pandemic. How miserably twisted.

    Donald Trump refuseed to fight for eiher one of them.
    That is the epitome of twisted.

    I should create a fresh account on a new bbs and act like a EO>liberal
    and fill you with garbage that you'd have no problem EO>believe as long as it's
    anti-trump.

    Would you still vote for the orange menace in November?
    Oh, well. So much for your being a faux pas liberal ...

    I haven't voted for President since 2008 because it was clearly obvious
    that
    the system in California is corrupt.

    Then why concern yourself with politics? Since it is obvious
    you have no interest in taking part in our system of participatory
    democracy, why should you care? Far easier to point your fingers
    and criticize rather than be part of the problem/solution. Talk
    about the epitome of laziness. And ineptitude. At least Donald
    Trump is making an effort to do something, however badly.

    Votes don't count when ballots are harvested in Los Angeles. And even with two million of the 'voters' removed, it won't change that fact. I'll bet Los Angeles will count more votes than they have voters in November.

    Political apathy is a sign of stability. We should all move
    to California. And leave everything else to Trump.

    Hello Eric,

    Obviously "Daniel" cannot be real. He has not even a Real Name (TM)
    or a node number.

    Are you pulling my leg?

    Only when I mistake it for a fire hydrant.

    I think you're replying to the wrong person.

    I have met people with multiple personality disorder.
    And trust me when I tell you, they never think they
    are anybody else other than who they are. Until
    they are somebody else. Without ever realizing who
    they were. So how do you know you really are who
    you think you are?

    I didn't write the message you quoted, and I rarely read the FIDONEWS
    echo..

    See what I mean? You have absolutely no idea of what
    your personality as "Daniel" has done or is doing ...

    correct... this is one reason why there is a bit of a resurgence of BBSes in non-US locations... the main thing i was pointing to is that when there were some, the local call charges did not really allow users to call a BBS and spend (eg) 60 minutes a day online reading messages, playing door games, and transferring files... it was just too expensive so users in fidonet were pushed to being point systems and pulling echomail from the BOSS node which was much more affordable... granted, it didn't allow for door game playing but messages were the big thing... not sure about how they handled uploading files to a BBS... FREQing files is/was just natural as a point if the BOSS node allowed it...

    I haven't looked in a while but a good place to look is the Telnet BBS Guide.

    http://www.telnetbbsguide.com

    It lists close to 1000 BBSs. Most of them are available by telnet and a very few are available by dial-up.

    Of course that list only contains BBSs where the operator has taken steps to get listed there. There are likely many, many others that haven't listed their BBS there, not yet anyway.

    BBSing is still very much a thing today.

    he bother to include a signature with (presumably) his real name

    Uh, I know who I am.

    Only for the moment you think you are.

    I've added your name to the twit list on my BBS. I don't have the patience for trolls, and now I won't be getting messages from you on my BBS anymore.

    Thanks, my awesome sysop.

    I have returned the favour and added you and "Daniel" to my twitt list.

    For the record: that only affects what I see, not what others making use of my system see.

    Hello mark,

    The entity known as "Daniel" did not properly introduce himself
    as being anybody other than the sysop associated with the node

    there is the flaw in your mental processes...

    Flaw? What flaw?

    the flaw of you thinking everyone here is an operator...

    I am not an operator ...
    I do not pretend to be an operator ...

    daniel certainly didn't introduce himself as the sysop of that
    system...

    Really? Where is his signature in any of his messages addressed
    to me?

    signatures are not required and they certainly perform *no* introductory task of any kind... you've been around long enough to know this...

    Every message has a signature.

    Hello Bjrn,

    Donald Trump is a chickenhawk who got 5 deferments as his
    means of avoiding service.

    No wonder he couldn't even spell Marine Corps correctly. I'm sure he has some Marine Core tucked away somewhere...

    http://tinyurl.com/y8bntgre


    His better days are behind him. The man is 74 years old,
    probably suffers from early onset dementia due to being heavily
    sedated with statin drugs, and likely to keel over at any moment.
    His taunts are nothing original anymore, having to rehash the
    same old lines time after time, calling his critics by the same
    names he has before.

    He is always blaming others for everything that goes wrong,
    without ever looking in a mirror to find the real problem.

    Oh, well. I've got better things to do than pretend to be POTUS.

    You can't feel sorry for people you hate.

    What's with this hate obsession of yours?

    Real hate is what your POTUS demonstrates every time he opens his mouth. He really, really hate Obama.

    Here's a history lesson for you:

    Ever since John Adams there's been a gentlemen's agreement, that a POTUS will never criticise his predecessor. For almost two and a half century this has been kept. Until #45 -- but his hatred exceeds all limits imaginable. Even today, after almost four years, he blames his mistakes on Obama.

    Are you pulling my leg? Such kind words - "zone clown" now that's
    a new one for me. Does it hurt when people disagree with you?

    It looks like there's something quoted here with my initials that I
    didn't even write. ??

    there is exactly that... LL is being his troll self again and
    specifically attempting to stir the shit...

    Not at all.

    yes, completely otherwise you would not have changed the initials used in the attributions on the quotes...

    The entity known as "Daniel" did not properly
    introduce himself.

    no one is required to do anything to introduce themselves in here or most any other echo... so you can get the hell off of that damned horse...

    The signature at the bottom of the page is a node number with Eric Oulashid's name on it.

    that's not a signature and you know it... that's the origin line which indicates which system placed the message into the echo stream... nothing more, nothing less... it has nothing to do with the person that wrote the message and certainly doesn't indicate that the writer is the operator of that system... you know this, too...

    If the entity known as "Daniel" wishes to cause less confusion
    for the sysop whose board he is currently using, I suggest he
    starts using his own signature.

    how about the entity known as Lee Lofaso get off his high horse, first... perhaps LL's arguments are indicative that he is actually an alternate for Björn Felten as some have been suggesting for years? it would seem to follow accurately with those arguments... GoodJob!<tm> thanks for playing... and tipping your hand...

    Are they too in favour of censorship and against freedom of speech?

    your questions have nothing to do with the situation at hand... besides, you/we have no idea at all if that's a global twit list or a personal twit list... if personal, like the one in golded, it won't affect the other users on the board... if global, they can get those messages from elsewhere if they really want to get them... it isn't like is costs $$$ to connect to any system anywhere in the world these days, ya know...

    And then there is Twit-Twat, the

    How do you tell the difference as to who is who or what is what?
    Well, it really is quite simple. As Peter Silverton, in his book
    `Filthy English', explains -

    "Can you distinguish an utter twat from a complete prick? I think
    you can. An utter twat knows not what he or she does. A complete
    prick does."

    Do note this is not on the list of seven dirty words made famous

    There's no question on freedom of speech in this conversation. It's a privately
    owned system and Eric was annoyed by a sudden influx of annoying messages in a thread he wasn't part of. He doesn't even peruse Fidonet because, as he says it, it's a Fight-o-net.

    The left likes to define 'freedom of speech' subjectively. I don't hear them complaining when a conservative is banned from twitter or facebook. That nutjob
    Alex Jones did nothing illegal when he was completely deplatformed over a conspiracy theory. Let that sink in. Deplatformed over a conspiracy theory.. I'm surprised the left didn't go after his domain registrar, the hate is brutal.
    I didn't hear them complain when the donald reddit was silenced during a democrat debate. Only the donald reddit was silenced, by the way. But, you know, the speech was "violent" or something ridiculous and it's not worth looking
    up. The blatant bias at these internet firms is nothing less than procedure.

    Meanwhile, violent fascist groups like antifa get a free pass when they outwardly plan their activities.

    A good friend of mine is an engineer at twitter and he's a relatively moderate conservative. He learned from day one that he has to keep his mouth shut
    at the office. If they discover anything about his views, he'd likely
    be out of a job. They'd find something to dismiss him with to avoid a lawsuit.

    Perhaps it needs to be fixed?

    Do you accept "Daniel" as the "real" name in your real name echoes?

    The use of real names can be interpreted in different ways.
    For example, in Mongolia, people only have one name. It could
    be the entity known as "Daniel" is Mongolian. However, he goofed
    when he revealed he actually has more than one name, referring to
    himself as "David Traechin" in a message addressed to you.

    Which definitely rules him out as being from Mongolia.

    probably suffers from early onset dementia

    True. And it's getting worse all the time. This Tuesday he said that USA would have five million tests per day real soon now. On Wednesday he said that he never said that, that it probably was from some Harvard report...

    When he gets caught out, on anything, he lashes out.
    When he is contradicted by his own experts, he lashes out.
    Nothing is ever his fault, but whoever he wants to blame.

    I met a professional boxer some years ago at a local chess club.
    He won more fights than he lost, making quite a bit during his career.
    We played a few games of skittles (far safer than boxing), and we all
    asked him how he was able to win so many boxing matches.

    He got up from his table, and explained by doing. Stand in the
    ring, and dare your opponent to punch the lights out of you. At
    the same time, make sure you connect with punches of your own.

    After landing a few punches, your opponent will start lashing out
    in a flailing manner, never landing any hard punches, if any punches
    at all. Meanwhile, your own punches continue to have devastating
    consequences as your own punches are still straignt and on target ...

    It's all over for the president. Poll numbers are showing him
    15 points down in key battleground states, and even lower elsewhere.

    It looks like there's something quoted here with my initials that I
    didn't even write. ??

    there is exactly that... LL is being his troll self again and
    specifically attempting to stir the shit...

    Not at all.

    yes, completely otherwise you would not have changed the initials used in the attributions on the quotes...

    The sysop is responsible for everything that happens on his system.

    The entity known as "Daniel" did not properly
    introduce himself.

    no one is required to do anything to introduce themselves in here or most any other echo...

    My statement stands.

    so you can get the hell off of that damned horse...

    Unlike yours, mine is not stuffed.

    The signature at the bottom of the page is a node number with Eric
    Oulashid's name on it.

    that's not a signature and you know it...

    Yes, it is.

    that's the origin line which indicates which system placed the message
    into
    the echo stream...

    And a signature.

    nothing more, nothing less...

    It is what one reads into it.

    it has nothing to do with the person that wrote the message and certainly doesn't indicate that the writer is the operator of that system... you
    know
    this, too...

    It has everything to do with the sysop, as the sysop is responsible
    for everything that happens on his board. But you know this.

    If the entity known as "Daniel" wishes to cause less confusion
    for the sysop whose board he is currently using, I suggest he
    starts using his own signature.

    how about the entity known as Lee Lofaso get off his high horse, first...

    The entity known as "Daniel" did not wish to debate in an honest
    manner, which is why he refused to properly introduce himself.

    perhaps LL's arguments are indicative that he is actually an alternate
    for
    Bjrn Felten as some have been suggesting for years?

    I am a subconscious fragment of your mind.

    it would seem to follow accurately with those arguments...

    Keep believing that. I am a subconscious fragment of your mind.

    GoodJob!<tm> thanks for playing... and tipping your hand...

    Hello mark,

    [..]

    signatures are not required and they certainly perform *no*
    introductory task of any kind... you've been around long enough
    to know this...

    Every message has a signature.

    no, they don't...

    Only when I mistake it for a fire hydrant.

    I think you're replying to the wrong person. I didn't write the
    message you quoted, and I rarely read the FIDONEWS echo..

    so it started with just his use of only his first name instead of his first and last real name in his postings followed by a note that he
    wasn't listed as the sysop of the BBS he was using...

    that's another problem that many in here have glombed onto, too...
    they think that every poster is the sysop of the board they post
    from... this because BBS users are a rare commodity these days and
    most of the posters in here are sysops... plus the huge fact that so
    many in non-US locations haven't had users in like two decades which is/was generally blamed on the cost of local phone calls so they
    pushed folks more and more to being point systems and thus operators
    and we come full circle on the "all posters are operators" fallacy...

    some people need a big irony emoticon attached to the text (and than an explanation what this emoticon means) before they recognize irony.

    so anyway, just another fidonet-style spat that someone stirred up... kinda like what we've seen in years past that many of us had thought
    was finally over with :shrug:

    having some guy that behaves like an asshole as a ZC doesn't help.

    That was an interesting thought process. I enlisted the help of my eldest daughter, though she was unaware of your question and was not a subject in my deliberations.

    Thank you.

    In Swedish we have the other way around "problem". Two words that are spelled exactly the same can have a totally different meaning. E.g. the word "tomten". With the same emphasis on the first part, but with an ever so minute difference in acuteness, it can mean Santa Clause (upwards) or the property lot (downwards).

    There's many other examples. Very hard for adult people learning Swedish to get right, getting rid of their accent. I guess it's one of the reasons that to some people it sounds like we are singing when we speak.
