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.

DO IT!!!! And be damned! Who cares! Fido's pretty much dead anyway.

You'll

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.

I am trying to do some Fidonet promotion with my blog, hopefully it will
gain a few new bbs members.

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..

--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:

--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.

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.

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: 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:

--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
