Its a bit like the way some in Fido who consider themselves `the elite' of
Fidonet treat others.


JK>It happens here once in a while... not that often.


They are mainly supportive of the political/criminal class (Hillary Clinton,
Hussein Obama, Eric holder, James Comey....etc etc...) and try their best to
make it difficult for those they despise (like me, for instance).


JK>It happens to my bbbs
JK>mailer when it cannot complete the transfer.


They habitually ignore facts presented to them, label any and all rebuttal by
their targets-of-hate with low-ball insults and put-downs, and just generally
parade their self-righteousness in grand style for their mutual mental-
masturbatory release and entertainment.


And when facts and proofs are presented, which serve to rub their noses in
their own stupidities, they have developed the habit of sniping at the targets
of their mutual hatred from the safety of echoes the said targets are barred
from either participating in or reading at all.


JK>Typically it is because of
JK>some problem with the node bbbs is trying to dial - it could be any one of
JK>the following:


Sometimes they even throw out into the mix of fido echoes false accusations of
the most low sort, un-apologetically leaving an impression of their target-of-
the-moment's character that reflects badly on that person.


JK>#The node bbbs is trying to dial has it's own problems and needs to
JK>be reset by the sysop... [often]


<g>] Hope this helps :)


Hope this helps:)
