This reminds me of people terrified of browser cookies in the mid-late 90's (and later).

HEY MAN I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. YOU PROBABLY WERE TOO!

I was not, I understood what cookies were/did and how they worked.

Same here, cookies were generally a good thing for me.

I don't want to steal your elections, I want to steal your soul. Worth way
more money for me. Then I can sell it for millions and make a profit from it. <evil laugh> :-P

You asked me questions. You didn't explain, or try to explain, anything you understand the difference?
I don't need you to explain to me how Windows "spies on you" - I alread

have

a firm understanding of that.

I've also heard and read that Linux and IOS spies on you too.
Don't you feel your privacy being invaded makes you feel uneasy
in this way? Why do they have to know what we do on our computer? They say we have privacy but it's just a word used to calm us
down but at the same time worrisome. We live in a strange world
with a lot of unorthodox rules that can bent like a piece of wire
at any time.

I think you've sprained my brain.

Seriously. Fucking. Speechless.

It's like you don't even read/hear what people are telling you,
and just go off on another blathering tangent.

Will you just fuck right on off out of here?

NAH - I'm a Millionairre supporter.... I wish he'd tone back, and kinda get back into his OLD self where he posts less attention-seeking or .... those posts- but he needs BBSes and we need him. Maybe a little less of the
taunting BS; and I wish he'd leave DM alone and stop pushing the real folks
who give a lot to synchronet....


but i like him around.

He's been given advice, he's been asked nicely to change his ways,
and he ignores all of it. He's not gonna change.

but i like him around.

Honestly, I don't.

I know... I've been on both sides; I just wonder if he does this crap because he feels like hes in a corner as opposed to he really harbors ill will.

Regardless, the posts are annoying. :P I just think....... hes a part of the community one way or another. Like you, I wish it would be another.

Oh, I don't think for a minute that he's a bad/evil person. I
believe he's alone and lonely, living in a facility, with only an
iPad for companionship. That's gotta suck.

Regardless, the posts are annoying. :P I just think....... hes a
part of the community one way or another. Like you, I wish it
would be another.

The part that gets to me is that he *could* be a good part of the
community, but he apparently *chooses* not to. Again, he's been
asked nicely, several times by several people, to think about the
methods and contents of his posts, but..... he just doesn't do
anything different. I'm not sure if he continues just to stick it
back in our faces, or just doesn't understand *why* we wish he'd
do things differently.

I can't tell if he just can't understand (an intelligence issue),
or doesn't care (a social/develpmental issue); or even something
else. Regardless of the cause though, he doesn't change, and that
is what creates issues. He takes offense when somebody tries to
help him improve his correspondence skills, and it just goes
downhill from there. My opinion is that it's a lost cause to hope
he'll improve. Oh well. I'm gonna do my best to ignore him most
of the time, until he does change his ways.
