Never heard that saying, but looks like you bastardized it.

I don't think you would accept advice or criticism from anybody, considering how badly your bbs runs.

MULTIPLE TIMES over at least a decade, when your issues have been pointed out you never bothered fixing them. I also don't believe most of your stories and reminiscing. Over the years you just come off as a typical old liberal hipster who likes pine nuts on his muffins.

bbs people have always been grumpy pricks.

Is it just me or are people slowly turning this forum into Facebook. Somebody cuts a quote short, or makes a spelling mistake and everyone gets their panties in a twist. You don't like something about what someone says (The preceding thoughts were my personal opinion only, and not meant to threaten, harass, diminish, embarass, or cause anyone to run to their safe space)

In the 10 years I've been here MRO has been the

I don't feel like putting up with him any more.

So you're going to be Gladys' Abner? ABNER!!!

That's true, but some of these guy's just get frustrated. But you're right they should ignore the negative.

It's one thing to ignore negativity about technical abilities or reading comprehension. It's entirely another to have to ignore bigotry. I have no tolerance for intolerance. It's the year 2024, but we have a certain person throwing around slur words like it's 1985.

We talk here about wanting to appeal to more people, but then we allow people to make it feel hostile. The days of you older straight white men being the majority are ending, we need to appeal to those that are becoming the majority. If I hadn't been into BBSing in the mid 90s & had other women helping me feel welcome back then, there's probably no way I'd be here now.

Having no tolerance for intolerance is still intolerance.

Negativity is mostly by a few, there are many people promoting posativity here to, those here that are willing to help the new ones enjoy the hobby.
Thats why I say just ignore the negativity.

No one should be in a majority, you want to take one majority and replace it with another, in fact we should all be reaching for middle ground.
I like Robs approach, when we ask noob questions he points us to the wiki page to encourage us to look for and find the answers to our problems.

If you're just doing echomail and zone 1 netmail, you only need 2

Question, will the doing away with zonegates affect any internal issues
there with the statements? This is happening the next week or so and has

Nope.
