Hello,
I've recently been participating in this Debate forum and have found that the toxicity level to be a little high for mature people operating and using BBS and terminal programs.
I've spoke privately with Digital Man and he said that this forum is not moderated in any way. But he did say something like feel free to debate and to fine to include this message, and asking people to be more polite here.
I would think it would make DOVE-Net a more attractive network to use if we area little more civil here.
fuck off
So that's what this forum is about? Is that what America is about now? Hatingfellow Americans? We're so politically divided lately that it could lead to
civil war if we don't knock this shit off. Just because I don't think Democrats are complete idiots and trying to take over the country, doesn't makemake me wrong for having a different opinion.
I've never registered for the Democrat party, btw. I'm an Independent, who was once a registered Republican, but they have gone so far down hill lately with hate.

Well that about sums that debate up. On to the next topic.... LOL

Nah man, these people you are debating with have been this way for many years, this is nothing new for this network (or any bbs network really) cant really make any kind of good BBS community because these same people frequent all these networks and run everyone off then laugh amongst themselves.. (more than likely getting off on it too)
Good luck trying to get a civil and, or intelligent converstion out of any of them. when they get backed in a hole their little fat sausage fingers cant type themselves out of (if their cheeto laiden keboard allowed) they'll just start cussing you or calling your dead relatives names, or calling you a crackhead or whatever same tired crap they've been doing for many years..
Nothing can really be done about it.. It's almost impossible to moderate a network like this.. they would definatly find a way in and make it even worse.. so DM just has to take the lessor of both evils.. let the little kids have their way.. sooner or later they'll be the only ones left.. they practically are.. hell you can see from time to time they start arguing with themselves.. Nothing better to do..
But this is the debate forum.. you kind of expect ANTYTHING in here right? seems thats the way it has been for as long as I remember.. thats why I try to stay out of here.. But when they start this crap on BBS help related messages, thats a bit different..
you cant go ANYWHERE on dovenet and be away from these guys, nor can you go on IRC anymore because they are there also trying their best to run any prospective users away. and they do it well..

Toxicity level in this place is quite low compared to the very bad
places. The only thing "wrong" with DoveNET is that the administration
does not do what RPGNet and other services do and police the place so
only a way of thinking is allowed.

Let's rewind a bit here. Your very first post in this echo was titled "Kamala" and included this (formatted and spell checked to make it more readable):

How do I not belong here? I've been on this BBS for decades. I used Synchronet when it first came out and was still commercial software. I've owned and operated BBS's in the 80's, 90's, and 2000's. I've developed all

It was a general reply.
That's your opinion.
There is no such thing as a "Debate" when everyone has the same opinion, and when asked to debate, no one accepts your argument as even valid. A debate requires hearing points of view that you don't like or want to
hear. Get over it!

THIS forum ISN'T ONLY filled with people like you. Try reading and try using your brain. Other people are arguing with people like you also.
Most just ignore you.
Especially in the 80's people didn't think like you. Yes, some of you
did. I remember flame wars has ALWAYS been a problem. Back in the old
days you actually had to deal with mixed points of view and tolerate it! BBS's used to be the most mainstream version of doing this stuff, not
the Internet!
By replying back to you right now, telling you that you are wrong to
debate in this fashion, is in fact debating. I'm giving you constructive critisism to hopefully get the remianing brain cell in your head to work.
Why don't you see if you can wake up another brain cell and try actually debating and consider other points of view in a debate? That's the
whole POINT of a Debate! Did you graduate from high school? I
remember Debate class, do you?

Are you really calling that "wrong", or are you throwing it out there that the original poster thinks it's wrong, or are you just being sarcastic?
I don't think it would be good to police a place where only one way of thinking is allowed, but sometimes I feel like there is a certain amount of toxicity on Dove-Net that sometimes makes me feel disinterested in reading the messages here. Particularly lately, there has been bickering between several members and I feel like it gets old after a while. Also, seeing negativity repeatedly from the same member (or members) for years can get a bit tiring too, though I've learned to not care so much and try to mostly ignore it when it happens.
I am just being sarcastic :-P
I will also mention that some of the sites I know who do heavy policing have managed to corner themselves into irrelevance because it is night impossible to use the site for its intended purpose. In some extreme
cases linking to threads in "unaproved" forums will get you kicked.
"That thread you linked too is at a forum run by a Nazi, so you are a
Nazi too. Die by the anti-Nazi hammer!"

Well, in the Usenet you just filtered out people who drained your energy out or who had nothing to contribute. Here you just blaze past their messages :-)
Yikes. That's why I don't and never really bothered with web forums and other related sites.
I have even more cringeworthy tales to tell. I remember an IRC channel in some Spanish network that was a Troll channel. Many operators of other regular channels would kick you out from their places if they learnt you were logged to the troll channel.
I thought trolls normally didn't want to admit they're trolls, or don't realize they're trolls..

In 2020, that's all we heard and look where that got us. Where we are today in this blisteringly insane economy, grocery prices thru the roof and well, I think we just need to get back to the basics and just let the "Hate" flow. It will be good for the economy.
At one point I paid over $8 for a dozen large eggs.
Since then we built a chicken coop and now have 4 hens.
