Hello All!

I recently changed the rules of this echo, I defined what direct and
indirect insults are, the rules file auto posts every 8 days.

Lets talk about indirect insults and I will use real names as my teaching tool.

Lets say Stan Hardegree is writing a message to Richard Helm, they are
talking about something Dan Ceppa had said.

Stan muses to Richard that:

"That Dan Ceppa is at the bottom of the intellectual pool and is the
dumbest person in Fidonet"

This is a indirect insult and is against the posted rules of this echo!

I do not think I need draw the same picture to define a direct insult do I?

Now you can take the same example and put in Ross Sauer, Wayne Chinside,
Lee Lofaso or whoever and the point still stands..

This is ridiculous, you all have seen me insist that this echo was not
going to be a clone of POL_INC, where rules are real tough, there is no
wiggle room.

Some of you confuse this echo with MATZDOBRE, some of you think that
because I am as moderator with you on idealogy, that I will let some of
this stuff slide..

Truth is, I have let some stuff slide, I have also missed some stuff that I
may have let slide anyway or I may not have let slide.

Allowing for echo lag times, if anyone wants to continue on this indirect
insult path, I can start handing out vacations.

Now I know some of you are going to say that Sauer started it or Ceppa
started it or Chirnside started it, I dont effin care, I am ending it, I
suggest that you do the same.

If you must flame, bleed it into MATZDOBRE.
