• Question

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to Alan Ianson on Sat May 2 19:32:20 2020
    Hello Alan,

    At the bottom of the page is a node number with your name on it.

    It never had Eric's name on it. It's simply an origin line with his node number.

    Eric Oulashin owns the node number, not "Daniel".

    Does Santa Claus own the node number noted at the bottom of this page?

    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.

    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.

    Do what you will, but I never did anything to you, and I rarely even read the FIDONEWS echo. I was only pulled into this because apparently some people think Daniel and I are the same person.. ?? Now I've been added to someone's twit list for basically no reason. :P I guess it doesn't really matter since I rarely read FidoNet anyway.. The only echo on FidoNet I've been really active in the last several years is the Star Trek echo.

    You can't feel sorry for people you hate.

    What's with this hate obsession of yours?

    For real? I have another word for you: fascism. The left owns that too.

    I already said I"m done with you. I realized that it's more of a
    religion and I learned long ago that religion isn't debatable.


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

    We gave obama a shot and he screwed up, so.. It's painful how much work it takes to undo damage when it's already done. It'll take a century to fix Clinton's.

    Nice talking to you, keep hatin'

    Have you asked your users about this?

    if they don't like it, they can get lee's messages from another
    system... it is the operator's system and operators can run their
    systems as they see fit, right??

    Right.

    excellent!

    As far as I'm concerned, that Lee character did it to himself. He was trolling my sysop and Eric did his best to silence the guy. The guy just kept pinging him with nonsensical messages.

    But do you think there's a log-in page that informs his single(?)
    user about the censorship?

    who cares? it is his system... he can tell them or not... as the
    operator of his system, that's his choice...

    I won't shed a bloody tear.

    Plus of course, we all know now what he thinks about the freedom
    of speech that all our(!!) forefathers fought and died for. Fuck
    that, no?

    freedom of speech only extends so far... is doesn't extend to shouting fire in a movie theater... it also doesn't extend to private areas... freedom of speech is only guaranteed by the government in government controlled areas... everywhere else is control by other entities which
    may have their own speech regulations... but you know this and have
    known it for what? 60+ years, now?

    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.

    Hello Bjrn,

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

    Why so hostile, and what's with the swearing? Is that how you want kids to see you?

    He is trying his best to imitate Joe Orange.
    But he is no Rich Little.

    Surely you know that this is a real name echo?

    Is it?
    I could not find any such rule in The Rules as posted by the Moderator.
    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.

    Cool down please!

    Hello Bjrn,

    His better days are behind him. The man is 74 years old,
    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.
    Even some of his own strongholds are now in his opponent's camp ...

    Hello mark,

    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 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.

    [..]

    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...

    your argument is deeply flawed...

    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.

    Hello Alexander,

    If you could have a dinner party with three people
    living or dead who would they be?

    Do you think there is no difference to have dinner with living or dead? ;=)

    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.

    You mean ... ABBA weren't really singing? Just reading football comments?

    On Star Trek Discovery, the crew was in the mess hall playing the "Auto antonym game" words that mean one thing and the opposite.

    "home bound"

    Interesting word game, I hadn't thought of that.

    "Cleave", there's another one.



    ... Is the style right?

    Hello Everybody,

    I have a question.

    Just one question.

    What is the difference between a scammer and a con artist?

    Easy. One we call a "Lee", the other a "Lofaso".

    Hello Ward,

    Words have meanings.

    "Lee" + "Ward" = "Leeward"
    Everybody knows what that means.
    "Lofaso" means "The Wall"
    Put the two together and what you
    have is something truly disastrous.
    I will spare you the details.

    For Life,
    Lee
