You know, I never thought I'd have my own personal set of groupies but as you've recently noticed, my return to the FidoGazette have brought the loose screws out of Fidonet's woodwork to attack me with their racist and xenophobic (dare I say a European thing) ways.

Even though Ward, Michiel, Winifred--erm, I mean Wilfred, and Oliver all live in my system's twit filter, I know that I live rent-free in their heads every day of their pitiful existances. They toil away, attacking me mercilessly, showing how vulgar they are and making a mockery of themselves and all they suppose to represent...but all the time they spend daily on me makes me
honored to have such dedicated groupies. They may all be fools but they're
all -MY- fools! Such devotion to me. I don't know what I did to deserve all of these hateful, xenophobic, and slanderous messages but I appreciate all of the time they all waste daily trying to get a rise out of me.

What can I say? I'm JUST THAT DAMN GOOD. They are all wasting their time in my echo, flailing about, bloviating about me...it's so heartwarming to have so much attention given to me.

You know, I have lived rent-free in Ward's head for over 25 years now. Such devotion to me! I know I've been in Michiel's mind for a decade or two. Winifred, I mean, Wilfred and Oliver are recent sycopants of Ward's so it's only been a few years.

I don't know about you all but I feel elated that I have my very own group of "ex-girlfriend crazay" kind of groupies in Fidonet and they let me live rent-free in their minds constantly (did I say that already)? Their making
the policing of Fidonet their lives' work even when Fidonet is a hobby and should never be taken seriously...

...just like I don't take any of them seriously and neither should you.

They're all xenophobes who hate anyone who doesn't act and think like them
and especially hate Americans. I guess it's because they weren't bright enough to come up with the idea of Fidonet themselves.

I sincerely hope that none of them have a heart attack and drop dead from
the fact that they are all my groupies now.

I'll call them all the EuroCuties. I'm not gay but it's flattering to have
all of these men chasing after me like this!

People often don't recognize their own racist and xenophobic behavior and patterns. In this case I really don't have any clue what you are referring to. Maybe you can give us some hints and point to the racist and xenophobic stuff. Is the racism against mice, xenophobia against a subset of nodes in Z1?

Interesting ... but what defines someone or something as "the enemy" ?

They're not enemies: just pests like flies around a picnic.

They're just mad that they didn't think of the FG first.

I have a newsletter to publish and so I shall no matter what some people might think.

Well, actually it's pathetic. Bugger off, boi.

Ward;

I am not speaking for him, but I feel certain that Sean defines you as 'the enemy'.

And I could not blame him, if so. You have been more than a little
antagonistic towards himself and his efforts. To be clear, I also feel that
he is also responding in kind. I've already mentioned this.

You both need to stop, in my opinion. Agree to disagree, and move on.

Yes, message traffic is good, on good ol' Fido! But the message you send is more important. Is this just another FaceBook, where everyone still hates everyone else?

THAT'S the message I'm seeing. A lot. Everywhere.

It's up to people like you sir, and Sean, to change that message. Do not spread negativity, I beg you. Be the change you want to see in this world.

I'm not going to lie. I'm very curious about these 'Laws' you've thought of.
I have a feeling I am going to agree with at least some of them.

If you've got a 4th Law, that means you got a list. Please share it? Maybe
not here, though; clearly, this is very much off-topic for FIDOGAZETTE...

There are better places to share your opinion.

You are bypassing the question ...

The question is "What defines someone or something as "the enemy" ?

The thing is, I don't have the answer...
