  • Accidental Faux-pas with testing

    From 2twisty@21:1/999 to All on Wed Mar 30 01:16:30 2022
    Wow. Been back into BBSing for 24 hours and I've already managed to spark a flame war....Ah...the good 'ol days.

    Seriously, folks... I was led to believe that this echo was for testing, so I was using it as such. Now that I am subscribed to the specific testing echo, I will place any further test messages in there.

    Maybe when MysticGuy redoes his videos, he can make sure to put the test messages where they belong to avoid the "n00b gets flamed" issue.

    Sorry for any annoyances. Just ask my wife -- I'm good at doing that. :)

    Don't sweat it. Every once in awhile the message boards get a bit weird like it's a full moon. You just happened to show up on one of those weeks. And hopefully some people read this and realize how unwelcome their socially inept behavior makes new people feel. It won't, but we can dream.

    Anyway, welcome. :)

    I wouldn't worry about it overly... you've just wandered into a pre-existing problem. Those setup videos have been around for a long time, and yes they point you here.. its an accepted thing to arrive here...

    We could also dream of self limiting inane questions... but alas that also
    will remain but a dream.

    I agree. Hopefully McDoob will cease the provocative attacks on others.

    I also hope that some reading this will realize that they're not the
    Echo Police, and are doing the exact same thing which they whine about
    so much, although they disguise it by wrapping it up in "touchy-feely"
    and "compassionate" clothing.

    And hopefully Gamgee figures out who the real problem child is...

    He's just mad at me because I said in IRC that he acts like MRO.

    "ZOMG, someone asked three questions in a row! Where's my safe space?"

    I have no idea how some people manage in the real world.

    By trying to pin the blame on everyone else, obviously! (o_-)

    Let's all try and put this behind us, though. Enough fun has already been sucked out of fsxNet.

    There's not much experimenting either. Let's rename it to sNet. :)

    I agree, let's do that. If you and your new fan-boi buddy can stop
    attacking others, and realize you're *NOT* the Echo Police, things will
    be fine again. Thanks!

    LOL! Mad at you? <CHORTLE> Nah.

    "ZOMG, someone asked three questions in a row! Where's my safe
    space?"

    "ZOMG, somebody said something that I think is "mean"; I need to say
    something to them so everybody realizes I'm a woke and compassionate
    soul who cares about everything. Also, since I'm so righteous, I am
    entitled to act like I'm the head of the Echo Police".

    Maybe you should spend some time in the real world, eh?
