Hello All!

FidoNet has become ROTTEN. Decent people left long ago, - especially after Ward aligned himself with Barinov.

What remains is an ugly, broken culture that tolerates harm and treats people as shit (ask for proof).

Chistian Community turned into PURE EVIL (Espesically Michael Luko, the EVIL himself (ask for proof)).

WARD = TRUMP = BARINOV = PUTIN <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I wish this community will be extorted ASAP. You're the ones who are destroying our planet.

Most of the Fidonet leftists, like Poindexter & Mike Miller, and decent when they talk to people. They don't say stuff like "Fuck you, Nazi!"

Only people with behavioral health disorders talk like that.

Is possible to build a better behaviour as a network culture?

No.

From your statement I can tell that you are
1. A Leftoid - who can't understand human nature.
2. A newbie.

If you had been around Fido Net since the 1980's, you'd know that it's never worked. The best that can be done is a "gentleman's agreement" to take things to private messages or other groups, and to kick off the more egregious ones.

I've been wondering the same thing...

The only thing I can come up with is to lead by example.

Stay positive in the negativity. Don't succumb or respond to the passive-aggressiveness. (ie don't feed the trolls)

Don't assume people are idiots just because they don't know as much as you know or don't catch on to something as quick as YOU
think they should. Be patient. Remember that the knowledge we have regarding BBS software and Echomail is 95% USELESS anywhere else, so you might as well share it with others here in abundance. Otherwise, what's the point?

Try making a light-hearted joke when you see a thread that you're following start to go down a dark road. Maybe people will lighten up.

I don't know. I've only recently returned, so I'm still just observing for the most part and getting to know the personalities in
the meantime. I don't know the history between a lot of the members, so I tend to stay out of things.

Or what the heck do I know? Maybe that's the point of Fido and the culture people want? Maybe people want a place to slam the sh*t out of others and vice versa? Who am I to judge?

Oh well... Just some thoughts as I'm drinking my coffee and waking up. o/

Yes but Alex needs to take some Xanax first and I don't think they give that drug to illegals.

A person who have capacity to question itself is indeed a brave one. Thanks
for your answer, i like that "Stay positive in the negativity", cause 63You should never give in to those who want to see you sad or angry.

It doesn't take far to look to see much better interactions in othernets.
You can't change human behavior, but you can change how it's reflected
online.

One network doesn't want political arguments, and people respect that.
The respect for the person who created the network shows.

You could try some St. Johns Wort - it does wonders for anxiety and
anger issues.

I once knew a guy who defused an argument about racism that had lowered
itself to angry namecalling by responding with a 3 word reply.

"I like ham"

Just absurd enough to make people laugh.

What I miss about the '90s is people could lash out online, then meet
face-to-face at a gettogether and realize we're all people. The two
people at the heart of that argument met at one of our gettogethers. We
expected some friction, but one poster held out his hand, they
grudginly shook hands, and continued their argument, albeit more
boisterous, alcohol-fueled, and much more light-hearted. Right up until
closing time. We got kicked out and disinvited from future events
there.

That face-to-face contact is something missing these days.

This should be part of your treatment plan; who cares how much money you or I make?

Is that Russian culture? Do the wealthy think they're better than the poor? I've heard about that on TV but this is the first time I've seen it in real life.

I don't care about money either way. Got more money than me? Shove it up your ass then. Got less money than me? Get a job.

Cool! Get drunk with me!

I'm glad to see you here! Please visit more often. This is my new BBS family (the Fidonet politics guys.) They really are nice people. I just give Alex a lot of crap because he's such a nut.

I miss all the good laughs you and me used to have. Let's bring it here! This is the place for our kind of political humor, except for the swear jar. Every time you swear you owe Gregory a nickel.

Typical Trump supporter. Broke and fucked up on the brain.

You will pay more for everything with your president. He will rob you, idiot.

So how dumb does that make you then?

I hate Trump like a motherfucker but
that is some absolutely stupid logic.
Wealth is not remotly an indicator of
intelligence.

If it was, then Trump himself would be
a genius level intellect, when we know
for a fact he has the intelligence of
fruitfly.
