Sigh. Party Line, give me a break. I've been clear in my communications on
this subject.

My opinion is that is completely unacceptable in any network that values
a healthy
flown of information.

I'm supportive of a flow of truthful and factual information. The post I
called out was promoting anything but that.

If you want FSXNet free from Covid-19 drama then ban all Covid-19 talk, not specific
opinions.

No that's not necessary. I've made my point of view clear. If folks want to have a ding dong session about pro vs anti vax stuff and how [insert country name] government/political party is not doing things right etc. etc. they can take it to an othernet.

I read some folks want to have that discussion and they are more than welcome to somewhere other than fsxNet.

Hi all.

[begin PSA]

For the purpose of clarity.

I don't object to having Covid-19 being discussed in a factual manner as a subject in fsxNet.

The world is united in having to deal with a pandemic taking many lives and causing a lot of disruption to peoples way of living.

That said, pro anti-vax / vax conspiracy / anti govt vax sentiments / discussions are unwelcome here. By all means if you feel strongly about such things discuss them, just don't do here it in fsxNet.

The original post that started the latest thread in this echo pointed to a Canadian anti-vax / anti Canadian govt website. Such posts immediately fall into the politics pot and as such are not welcome in fsxNet.

There's a reason why we opted to keep political discussions out of fsxNet and that's because in the past it's been patiently clear that some past authors have been unable to discuss differing points of view civilly and
respectfully, instead descending into political ideologies / conspiracies.

People active in fsxNet would far rather have a place devoid of such divisive discord. I certainly do.

Let's keep in fun please folks and save the ideology lessons for othernets.

Some things are not for opinions, and to value things as opinions that

At any rate, I think Paul meant you can discuss things like what's
happening with covid, like my Aunt got covid, or I got my vaccine. Not
about views and opinions.

But by all means, if you do find it completely unacceptable, then go

And yet another FTN. Sounds like a network that only people with the right political mindset would join.

As this stuff runs on Fidonet technology it is possible that nodes distribute echos that are not in the official echo list. Just create an echo (let's call it FREE_SPEECH_XTENSION) and setup links between the people/nodes that have a need to talk about "all the stuff that cant be discussed here".

If FSXNet had been a thing some centuries ago, maybe we would be talking about banning people for defending that tobacco is not good for your health.

Not so long ago, the notion that tobacco was good for health was a scientific fact. Going against such notion was an eccentricity. If discussing anti-tobacco ideas had been banned back in the day, we would all be smoking and getting cancer.

I have heard somebody got flagged once for asking if some store had black cartridges for an HP printer.

In Spanish, HP is often used as an abreviation for "Hijo de Puta," which could be translated as "Son of a Bitch." The message that got flagged was something like "Estoy buscando cartuchos HP Negro 350XL." (I am looking for Black HP 350 XL cartridges). I think the algorithm read "HP Negro" and interpretated it as "Hijo de Puta Negro", or "Black Son of a Bitch."

And this is yet another reason why nobody should touch Facebook with a 10 feet long pole.

I am more likely going to use Fakebook for shelter pet awareness only.

I have some Donkey Sanctuary calendars around the workplace and they seem to work better for that. They also help getting conversations started with the girls :-)

A few weeks back one of my fiendbook friends posted something that was pro-vax and got flagged. I think their algorhythms must not be quite r

I have heard somebody got flagged once for asking if some store had black cartridges for an HP printer.
In Spanish, HP is often used as an abreviation for "Hijo de Puta," which could be translated as "Son of a Bitch." The message that got flagged
was something like "Estoy buscando cartuchos HP Negro 350XL." (I am looking for Black HP 350 XL cartridges). I think the algorithm read "HP Negro" and interpretated it as "Hijo de Puta Negro", or "Black Son of a Bitch."
And this is yet another reason why nobody should touch Facebook with a

That applies to their printer and PC divisions aptly.

I donç't know about the PC/Laptop branches.

The printing part... their management and human resources personal ought to be put on a diet of nails and burning coals for the rest of their lives.

Their division for enterprise network solutions (whatever it is called this year) is ok afaik.

I worked at a law firm back in the '90s, the IT department was driven out of NYC by a guy who quoted out a single-vendor system for a dozen law offices.
HP came out the winner.

HP Vectra Desktops
HP video cards
HP ethernet switches
HP-branded cisco router
HP 3000 midrange computer running HP/UX
Portable Netware (Netware core protocols and a virtual file system running
on top of UNIX. Weird)
Informix DB
HP branded Windows 3.1 OS on the desktops
Wordperfect 5.2 for Windows
HP Printers, of course...
