    Ruleset For The HOLYSMOKE Echo
    ==============================

    Last Modified: 05/08/2009

    Moderator: Ross Cassell @ 1:123/500

    --Purpose Of Echo

    For the free discussion both for and against the validity of any
    religious belief.

    --Swear Words

    The usage of swear words are not prohibited for purposes of exclaimation, however the usage of swear words:

    * To insult, flame or inflame if directed towards a member of this echo

    * As the sole or only content of your message or reply.

    * For only the sake of using them.

    Are prohibited, if in doubt dont do it, else when you cross this line, you
    will be cautioned.

    --Name Calling/Personal Attacks

    Messages that are designed to deliberately insult without conveying
    any relevant information are included as forbidden.

    Additionally echo participants are not to be made the subject matter of
    any message:

    Footer
    Tagline
    Sigline

    --The "I Hate You" Rule

    Disputes and personality conflicts that originated in other echoes or
    which have been long standing, regardless of origination point, are not welcome here. Do not use or enter this echo for the sole purpose of
    carrying out existing grudges.

    --The "Persona Non Grata" Rule

    Individuals banned or suspended from this echo are not to be included in debate
    within this echo, for purposes of this echo, if a person does get banned or suspended, they do not exist for as long as any ban or suspension is in force. If a banned or suspended person comes into the echo, do not respond to that person if their ban or suspension is still in effect. Violation of this rule can result in being sustended or banned.

    Explaination:

    If a person is prohibited from posting in the echo, be that prohibition short term, long term or permanent, then there should be nothing coming from this echo to compel that person to want to or have to defend themselves.

    --The "Non Echo Member" Rule

    Do not use this echo to convey information about a person whom
    is not actively using the echo, if such information is less than
    factual or is inflammatory.

    --The "I Twit Thee" Rule

    The usage of twit filters, assuming your message reader supports it, is encouraged in the event you encounter a individual whom otherwise causes you great irritation.

    However if you do decide on this course of action and you publically announce that you are twitting someone, you better be sure you live by that proclaimation, which includes up to you treating the irritant as if s/he doesnt
    exist.

    If you announce that you have twit filtered someone and in turn take pot shots at them in messages to others, either out of the blue or by seeing that persons
    messages quoted by others, you are as guilty of being annoying as the person you twitted, and may face risk of being suspended from the echo if not worse.

    --The "Liar" Rule

    If you are asking for someones opinion on something and they give it, do not proclaim it to be a lie, an opinion is what it is. If you can have an opinion on something, so can others, see how that works?

    Someone disagreeing with your viewpoint does not a liar make, if you proclaim someone to be a liar, be prepared to prove it as such or hold thy tongue by not proclaiming someone to be a liar.

    --The Posting A Lie Rule

    Do not post anything about another participant which is a deliberate misrepresentation of what they said or whom they are. If you post
    anything of this nature, it best be worded as an opinion unless proven
    or admitted to, if it cannot pass the test of proof, then do not
    present these things as factual.

    DO NOT POST LIES ABOUT ANYONE!

    Having said the above, the moderator is not your holy protector and is
    not responsible for for deciding what was a lie and what is the truth,
    do not expect arbitration on anything you feel said about you which
    might have been a lie.

    --Real Names

    This is a real names only echo, no handles, aliases without moderator approval.

    --The To All Rule

    Do not post messages addressed to all, unless it is to introduce
    subject matter you wish to have debated.

    Do not post any message to All, which is in fact a reply to a message
    written in the echo by another participant. Doing so by inference makes
    the person whom wrote the message as topic for debate, echo
    participants are not topics for debate.

    --Quoting and Quotations

    Do not over-quote your message replies, quote back that which is needed
    to specify those points in which your reply is addressing.

    Do not alter message quotes to change the meaning of the original
    posters points, this is not to say you are required to quote back every
    single thing the person said if you are not addressing every single
    thing they said, just dont make your quote back look as if the person
    said something they did not.

    No one is required to address every single point you made in any
    message.

    Continually harassing a echo participant with a message quote of what
    they may have said in a earlier point in time regardless of context, will
    be regarded as harassing a participant if done to excess. If the person refuses to acknowledge, concede or retract, dont think baraging them
    with said quote multiple times is going to change the status quo.

    --Moderation.

    Leave the moderating to the moderator.

    The moderator of this echo reserves the right to add, subtract or otherwise amend these rules as necessary up to and including taking action against an individual for something not currently spelled out within the current rule set.

    Moderator who seems bent on controlling all of Fido.

    For ONCE you and I agree upon something!

    "Moderation" (meaning Steve Q. returning) destroyed the robust 200-300 messages a day traffic HolySmoke got back in the good days!

    All because of his ego!

    Now we have a redux.

    Everyone was chatting and arguing and debating swimmingly!
    With arguments about the ability to prove a negative, and souls stored on Saturn...

    Steve Q. came stomping back as mod, after being gone for a year and a half, and shut down everyone!

    Now we have someone that actually wants THAT status quo!

    I always said that "If I had a message board or such, I have only ONE rule...use your twit filter if you are a fuckin' pussy!"

    Of ALL echoes, HolySmoke was where you COULD say shit!



    Fido is truly dead!

    I hope not.

    Although it's...what? 60 old fucks left? 50 of them Tea Baggers!
    And the mod being one of the latter.

    You are just now bellyaching about these rules, which have showed up monthly since the above date?

    And coincidentally, there has been ZERO traffic since you posted them.

    Great job!

    Perhaps this is an "Occupy HolySmoke" movement!

    You are OBVIOUSLY (by the number of people that have VOTED with their feet and LEFT) unpopular.

    Do you even care that your "constituents" don't like your rulings?

    Ever think of "axing" us what we want?

    (that's ANOTHER thing I'd do if I "had power" within an echo...I'd do polling amongst members)

    Here's an idea...don't moderate a "Religious Food Fight Echo"!
    To do so makes it meaningless!

    If you and Tim really gave a shit about this echo, you could have tried a different method instead of whining like a bunch of girls..

    Instead of whining about it, how about asking me?

    Tim bellyaching about heavyhanded moderating, best go back and look how heavy handed I was with him, like not at all, I was harder on Ceppa.

    Keep on whining I will pull HOLYSMOKE off the backbone in its entirety.

    Okay if you bitched about it then and you didnt get anywhere with it, what do you think has changed since then if there were approximately 30 posts of the same ruleset since then?

    Were you bored Tim, or did you not think to approach me with a better attitude about reviving the echo and changing the rules..

    The rules were only tightened because a few people thought the word HOLYSMOKE was code for persecute Ceppa.

    or we had them blaming Ed Hulett for the sins of every Mormon since that church was founded.

    Right now we have probably 2 users to argue religion with, that is that puke Steve Kemp and the welfare queen Ross Sauer, both of whom think the believers should be shot.

    Okay if you bitched about it then and you didnt get anywhere with it, what RC>do you think has changed since then if there were approximately 30 posts RC>of the same ruleset since then?


    And thats pretty much all the traffic there's been in the echo. You `posting the rules'.


    Reminds me of the `LIMBAUGH' echo when it got killed off. The two moderators would not allow a word of criticism of Rush Limbaugh, not the slightest. All you could post over there was `dittohead' posts, interspersed with a lot of `Rush is right' crap.


    What they ended up with was an empty echo, where the only traffic there was
    one or the other moderator's `posting the rules' occasionally. Now its not
    even that.


    Were you bored Tim, or did you not think to approach me with a better RC>attitude about reviving the echo and changing the rules..


    I don't think to `approach' you at all. You're an anal-retentive jerk who pictures himself some sort of FidoNet big shot.


    The rules were only tightened because a few people thought the word RC>HOLYSMOKE was code for persecute Ceppa.


    Ceppa was one of the worst flamers in the entire echo! Ceppa was also an asshole who pictured himself as a big shot because he moderated a few echoes. Ceppa got talked to the same way HE talked to other people.


    Ceppa was a slithering snake who refused to let anyone say anything that (in his opinion) offended anyone. He stretched that to mean `even if someone *might* take offense (whether or not that person actually did), yet Ceppa posted up little sly put-downs of others at will, much like Klahn does. Only Ceppa wasn't quite as slick at it as Klahn.


    or we had them blaming Ed Hulett for the sins of every Mormon since that RC>church was founded.


    So fuckin' what! What the fuck do you care! Let the chips fall where they may. Ed didn't need you to nursemaid him, and neither does anyone else.


    Where were you when this echo contained 100 or more posts, most of which were hate-filled bile against religion and\or Christians? And most of them coming from a long list of individuals who aren't even in Fido anymore? Some of the hatred Otto Sauer and Chirnside used to post up against Christians, not to mention Ceppa, can still be read. Somewhere out there on the web is a site
    that holds a lot of the old HolySmoke messages. You ought to go there and read a few that Otto and some others posted up back then.


    Right now we have probably 2 users to argue religion with, that is that RC>puke Steve Kemp and the welfare queen Ross Sauer, both of whom think the RC>believers should be shot.


    Yeah....and they both post in here like.....what? once a year?!

    And thats pretty much all the traffic there's been in the echo. You `posting the rules'.

    and HOLYSMOKE and CROSSFIRE are the only echoes this happens in and I am at fault for it happening anywhere else?

    Automation works...

    You wanted an axe to grind and you found one..

    the slightest. All you could post over there was `dittohead' posts, interspersed with a lot of `Rush is right' crap.

    I wouldnt know, I never read the echo, I understand it was where Otto cut his Fido teeth in???

    What they ended up with was an empty echo, where the only traffic
    there was one or the other moderator's `posting the rules'
    occasionally. Now its not even that.

    There are echoes on the backbone now with autoposts unrelated to the echo..

    Were you bored Tim, or did you not think to approach me with a
    better attitude about reviving the echo and changing the rules..

    I don't think to `approach' you at all. You're an anal-retentive jerk
    who pictures himself some sort of FidoNet big shot.

    I will decide on what I picture myself as, not some old phart from San Diego.

    Why dont you ask Stan, Ed, John how unapproachable I am??

    Dont be so lazy Tim, you sound like Otto and Klahn.

    The rules were only tightened because a few people thought the word
    HOLYSMOKE was code for persecute Ceppa.

    Ceppa was one of the worst flamers in the entire echo! Ceppa was also
    an asshole who pictured himself as a big shot because he moderated a
    few echoes. Ceppa got talked to the same way HE talked to other
    people.

    The attempt a couple years ago was to remake the echo into something different from what it was..

    Unfortunately everyone lost interest when Ceppa left.. Not the rules, when Ceppa left.

    or we had them blaming Ed Hulett for the sins of every Mormon since
    that church was founded.

    So fuckin' what! What the fuck do you care! Let the chips fall where
    they may. Ed didn't need you to nursemaid him, and neither does anyone else.

    You dont get it, the echo got to centered on people, not prophets or religion..

    The bitching became only about Otto, Ceppa or Ed...

    (Note no one could attack Ceppa in POL_INC, so...)

    However I have difficulty in accepting that this has been causing you great emotional distress for the past 30 months??

    Right now we have probably 2 users to argue religion with, that is
    that puke Steve Kemp and the welfare queen Ross Sauer, both of whom
    think the believers should be shot.

    Yeah....and they both post in here like.....what? once a year?!

    If you are bellyaching about debating religion, them 2 are your choices of opponents..

    Look, I have heard this statement bandied about for the past 10 to 15 years:

    "Fidonet is dieing, (for whatever reason)"

    You say I am killing it by not allowing heavy handed discussions to take place in what 2 echoes? But I also hear that heavy handed discussions that take place elsewhere is killing Fidonet.. So Tim, which camp is right?

    approximately 30 posts of the same ruleset since then?

    And thats pretty much all the traffic there's been in the echo. You `posting the rules'.

    and HOLYSMOKE and CROSSFIRE are the only echoes this happens in and I am RC>at fault for it happening anywhere else?

    Automation works...


    You wanted an axe to grind and you found one..


    Oh go piss up a rope! Nobody's `grinding an axe'. You read too many comic books. Get over yourself.

    DO IT!!!! And be damned! Who cares! Fido's pretty much dead anyway.
    You'll
    probable be the last person left in Fido, trying to get your little

    When you finally leave...don't forget to turn out the light!

    At least when there were heated debates the conference was thriving.

    Fidonet AKA Fightonet seemed a fit place for it. Just thinking out loud.

    Each and every conference Cassell has taken over as `moderator' in has died.

    The only reason Fidonet hasn't yet is because of the foreign traffic there.


    All I did was tell one butt-wipe from some foreign country in there to go piss his pants, and another foreigner to go piss up a rope!


    Cassell got his `moderator's whip' out and has me put on `read only' status.

    He then proceeds to get into it with at least one of those I told to go piss their pants, and Cassell says much worse to them than I ever did in all the time I've been taking that echo in my packets! Of course he didn't immediately put HIMSELF on read-only status over it. But.....the privileges of `moderator -hood' I guess.


    Even with Chirnside gone, the argument has continued. Its just not about `Chirnside' or his status, but has migrated to other issues. Its still the
    same argument that has been on-going in there for many years.

    Quit your fucking crying you crybaby, there exist only 2 people in todays Fidonet that g(i)ave two shitz about this echo, Steve Kemp and Ross Sauer.

    Anyone else has long since gone, all else are your fellow choir members..

    All I did was try to tilt the echo so that the believers had a equal footing in the echo with the atheists, you do know that this echo was a shooting gallery with the believers as the targets, who never could get a word in edgewise?

    Oh and the only other part of the equation that is missing since the time you said I killed this echo is Dan Ceppa, he left Fidonet for other reasons.

    Go ahead and blame me for that, you seem to require scapegoats for everything, your miserable life depends on it..

    Now go shake your tiny fists at your monitor and cuss me some more..

    Now you know why the backbone file got a haircut..

    It will take a while for your message bases to repopulate, which is why I was surprised you used the method you did..
