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.
There's room here for differing opinions.
Dovenet is a collective of many BBS's, why try to run everyone off? After all it's not called MRONET.
I thought this echo was named "DEBATE"? That is EXACTLY what is supposed to happen here.
Can we not be children, maybe, please?
Lead by example. This post was definitely NOT a prime example of adulthood, though, so you're off to a really bad start. :(

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.
Thanks,

why don't you go to reddit where you belong.

You're saying that Replublicans are the gateful crowd? Are you for real?
No sir. You can't be farther from the truth.

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.

What?! You have got to be kidding me.
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.
That's some straight up snowflake shit right there, buddy!
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):

In true debate format, let's go people! Yes, I'm being overly simple
and a little sarcastic. But, feel free to intellectually debate what
I'm about to say.
Kamala should be the next president of the United States of America because the other two people who were running are both very old and
out of touch and both have concerns about their future mental health.
Well that about sums that debate up. On to the next topic.... LOL

You sir, opened up the can of worms. Don't go crying to Digital Man because most people here don't agree with you.
Did you actually think that post would just squeak through and not get repli
I would think it would make DOVE-Net a more attractive network touse if we area little more civil here.
Dovenet has been an attractive network for much longer than you have been he

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

Same Guy wore a Biden shirt to a Trump ralley and was treated with respect. you can find this video on youtube.
Republicans were Greatful, Democrats were Hateful.

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..

I didn't put a name to reply to, therefore it was meant for everyone.
As far as reddit, I'd never send anyone to that cesspool of a platform
even if I hated you.

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.
We have to give eggs away now, lol.
