Well, it took longer than I expected, but I'll get a new computer on Tuesday. I hope I can raise this Phoenix from the ashes once again.

For almost a month now, I've relied on my secure Fidonet hard drive to manage elementary Fidonet obligations, including Fidonews publishing.

ATM, I have a once-every-30-minute event that polls four of my major contacts. Hopefully, that way, I can repair one of the FidoWeb PoFs just until I get my new Dell Tower and restore this hub once again.

I also want to send my thanks to Andrew, who's been wrongfully accused by a MAGA idiot in the FIDONEWS Echo for not performing properly. We've managed, Andrew; thank you!

Contrary to popular belief, it is not a requirement to insult Bjorn when posting from a Z1-nodenumber.

Okay, but just for comparison, and fairness, it *IS* a requirement for
Bjorn to insult America/Americans with every single post he makes.

Correct?

What the fuck is wrong with people around here? Geezes fucking christ.
Get along kiddies. I've never seen a bunch of so called adults behaving
in such a childish manner as I have in the fidonet groups. I'm not just commenting on this post, but others too.

Dan,

I don't think Bjorn has ever presented anything like that as a fact. More in a 'In my opinion" way well realising his opinion could be wrong.

So when he says that you're an asshole, he's actually saying that "in his opinion you are an asshole" but he could be wrong.

Now you and I have privately interacted and I'm convinced that you are not an asshole and that Bjorn is wrong, at least in my opinion, but it also could be wrong.

Whatever the case, I don't think he's an asshole and neither do I think you are one, but you think he is and you expect him to think that you are as well though I expect he has never entertained the thought.

This is getting complicqted, I don't think I can argue myself out of thisone ... 8-)

And I guess you can support that defamatory statement with one of those "every single post" (including my OP progress report)?

Not sure what post you're referring to there. The OP in this case was
Ward reporting that you had an outage. Then, a day or two ago, you
reported the slower-than-expected progress, and *YES*, you threw in an anti-American insult near the end of that post.

If you're going to nit-pick "every single post", I can revise my
statement to be "NEARLY every single post". Either case is not OK, but
if that makes you feel better, then good.

Just to make sure, this is one of "every post" that a particular entitled MAGA idiot labels as "American hatred".

Yeah, if you are concerned about the future of our museum piece, the Fidonet, pay attention to all the gimme-gimme trolls infecting our hobby and join us in rooting them out.

I agree

I'm just new here. The only thing I see is that I expected more respect
from the older Fido people.

Well, I would have to admit that a person's status as an asshole is
usually a matter of opinion, and those (opinions) can vary widely. I
mean, some folks probably thought Ghengis Khan was a decent chap.
Others likely considered various Popes to be assholes. Even in recent
times, some people think that the current US President is an asshole,
which proves that almost anything can be considered valid by some
percentage of people. Hard to believe, or understand, but true. ;-)

So, in the final analysis, whether a person is an asshole or not cannot
ever be considered a fact. Only opinion, and my opinion of Beeeeorn is unchanged from what I stated up there above.

They're not a very good advertisement for fidonet for sure. It's a good
