p>>>> and why does a three line tagline bother you?
(I get arrogant because I dont want to say )
WK>>> Because we can not read it.
(he gets arrogant with the Wrath of Moderator
Godliness on his side)
WK>>> Please use an encoding that is appropriate for
WK>>> an international mailing list.
(please explain in DETAIL what that is. Give a
URL or something at least!)
WK>>> And please add a signature delimiter
<this actually sounds like a scolding from mother>
<is that the moderators intent?>
hopefully you get so angry the blood vessels are
bulging out of your neck about now. I actually
hope you are mad. That's good. Get mad and kick
me out. Do it. Then I can show everyone on
USENET how screwed up you are. You can prove
your point here. But I can prove my point
elsewhere. It's a free world.
TF> And this is where I have to defend Wolfgang: I would think this
TF> wording is considered appropriately polite in Germany. I am sure he
TF> didn't intend to convey any bad vibes. (Wolfgang, correct me if I'm
TF> wrong.)
Wolfgang aka the Moderator is CORRECT 100% that I
left out a tearline aka delimiter aka kludge or
what ever you want to call the dash dash space.
I was all ready to let this go, but now my
question remains. What is appropriate.
are those little @@@@@@@@@ 's appropriate?
@ eat @
@ at @
@ Joe's @
@@@@@@@@@
if so how many lines can follow the --
How about a specific NUMBER please. So there is no
question.
Where is the line drawn exactly?
look i understand what a tearline is what PID's
are and such from fidonet.
which follow a format like this:

Hello Spaceman.
cool my old editor works still.

But this isn't the question.
The question is. Where does harassment stop and
the vague term appropriate begin? I mean if your
laying down some heavy rules then let's be
specific and not so vague. Otherwise you are the
one displaying the annoying behavior. By telling
us do as i say not as i do.
To me Those little @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ are not
appropriate. But you don't hear my whining about
that. They're annoying, yet I fully expected to
see them. and the BOX people --------- etc.. I
already know there is going to be a certain amount
of that--it what separates the the GREY AND BLACK
world from the world of FUN and COLOR!
Already I found a way to make a LINE DISAPPEAR
from the average viewer. Maybe you like this neat
trick? or is it too annoying behavior?
-
Can you read this.
-
between the above line say's, "Can you read this."
Is invisible text appropriate?
<shift right click to read it>
You can flip back to the FACT i didn't use a
TEARLINE or a DELIMITER or WHATEVER you want to
call it. I totally AGREE. Your right. I forgot
to add that in the message.
I repeat again and again It wont happen again.
I've already said that.
But beyond that. Come on. Is there a CHARTER, a
FAQ, a RULES , a guideline or something that
specifically says what is APPROPRIATE. What if
someone asks a question written in spanish? Is it
a problem? What about Laotian? Or the alphabet of
Malachim. Where does it stop?
Which languages are allowed ( I assume english )
if it's english only then what is this doing here
in this Mailing list:
JDH> ���{��Ή��͂����ē���Ȃ��B
If i had to translate Japanese I would have used
a PLAIN TEXT FILE AND SENT AN ATTACHMENT. since
the interface isn't 100%.
Anyway
I say I am singled out.
If your going to moderate me then DO it to
everyone else as well. Or else get some
faq's or something out to US!
Are Lower ascii codes dangerous?
Are Higher ascii codes dangerous?
Shouldn't we all know this answer?
I admit to 1/2 the BLAME for using no
"delimiter" as wolfgang puts it. Your 100% right.
I screwed up.
The other 1/2 of the BLAME here, is the lack of a
FAQ or charter to tell me specifically NOT to use
high/low ascii.
And any other wierd stuff that people try.
An outline. I mean you can boot me off the
list. That IS what a moderator does. This is
not what I wanted out of this mail list when I
signed up for it.
I've been in many mail-lists, MB's, BBS's, FTS-001
nets , I never HAD a problem as long as I followed
fidonet's little rule of non-annoying behavior. BUT
FIDONET had it written down for someone to read it.
Some have said a rule of thumb is three lines of
text at the end of the message.
Now only MY question remains..................
ta ta for now.
