Dear Democrats,

You can't call yourselves "the party of tolerance" AND

I am SO glad that the quote in the FidoGazette quote got to you, that was it's purpose.

*but*

"Democrats" did not 'burn/loot/pillage cities in the name of "equality"'.

Here is a great statement that Dale Shipp posted in another echo:

"...violent interaction comes when the police lose respect for the fact

that all people are human beings and deserve to be treated as such -- and that people are not to be shot in the back or stomped on the neck until dead."

It remains a fact though, that Republicans do call themselves the Party of Lincoln while waving that sick confederate flag.

You are one sick puppy, liar.

BTW:

"The E.U. ban against US Citizens travelling to the E.U. shows that Trump has transformed the U.S. "into a global health risk." ~Joe Biden

I could go on and on, but you are not worth my time and energy.

I know overt liberalism is your gimmick, much like "stupid Americans" is Bjorn's, but I really wish you would reconsider turning the 'gazette into a political soapbox. You tend to be much nicer when you don't use your gimmick.

I may disagree with what you have to say but understand its your place to say it. But this is a silly message hobby only a fraction of the world uses anymore. Nobody cares to hear about political stuff here, ever. Its tired.

Lets suppose we all jump aboard the liberal train... What do you expect to happen? A bunch of weirdos from some net called "Fidonet" to march to the
White House and phyiscally remove the evil Orange Man?

I do not expect nor want a reply. Just try to be better than this.

Well, I noticed it, but wouldn't say it "got to me". However, my
quote above CLEARLY bunched your panties, as evidenced by the
hostile and hateful crap you spewed back at me (I've snipped it
for decency).

You're full of shit, just like Sleepy Joe.

It was a silly little tweet with a ring of truth.

If you put too much pressure on Mr. Clough's sad brain, nasty stinky farts come out of his mouth and if it gets really inflamed, liquid poo flows out of his nose too. Or is out little Dany just throwing a tantrum again, sweet little Dany... is he throwing a tantrum again ... our Dany ... doo doo doooo

You responding with an illogical loaded question says more about your apparent need to have the viewpoint tinted in your colour than it does about mine.

I'm merely suggesting that it would be nice to have something in Fido that doesn't have any political content at all. A good editor publishes something everyone can enjoy that doesn't carry an agenda or gimmick behind it.

If not, and it remains a snowflake leftist lemming soapbox, then so be it.

A real shame because the cooking recipes are good...

I'm very pleased to see Mr. Clough live in your head rent free and reduce you to crude insults of the grade-school variety. No dick jokes? What a shame.

that doesn't have any political content at all. A good editor publishes something everyone can enjoy that doesn't carry an agenda or gimmick

Politics are everywhere. Janis's quote of the day was a twitter post about
the confederate flag and those who wave it today. Something to think about today.

If not, and it remains a snowflake leftist lemming soapbox, then so be it.

See what I mean about politics?

A real shame because the cooking recipes are good...

I hope you don't find our recipes too left leaning. ;)

That comes from some kind of alternate reality, it is a lie.

Your post was illogical and loaded. How can my reply not be?

By carefully studying several issues of the 'gazette to see that some have had politically-charged or baiting remarks in it since November 2016 for no
reason other than to push an agenda. If it was a pro-Trump agenda I would complain the same... although I suspect a total emotional meltdown from
several others would beat me to it.

Contrast with Fidonews issues in how surprisingly Felten mostly keeps his gimmicks and anti-American vulgarity to himself and not seeping into something which is considered a searchable piece of history. I have no problem with Janis running a gimmick here, just not in something that used to be neutral.

I've done my homework on all of this but unfortunately just like "Oli",
you appear to wish to venture into combative insult-territory with me even though I have never insulted you or really ever conversed with you, ever.

I don't find the gazette to be politically charged or baiting.

You might find the odd quote of the day or editorial that has a political flavour but it's not a political rag.

Fidonews was once a hotbed of ranting/raving and rebutals and it could
happen again if anyone choose to send in an article. I don't remember now if those rantings included politics or not.

I read both the fidonews and the gazette, at least a quick glance. I've
never sent in an article and I don't think I ever will. If I have something
to say I choose an echo to say it and it's easy for those who want to rebut
or comment on what I have to say.

I've done my homework on all of this but unfortunately just like "Oli",
you appear to wish to venture into combative insult-territory with me even though I have never insulted you or really ever conversed with you, ever.

I don't think I've ever said anything combative or insulting to you.

You told me my original response to you was an "illogical and loaded
question". Did you consider that to be an insult? It was not meant to be insulting. It was a question.

Period.

2021 is looking be a year of many book "flavours" in the Trump arena:

We are fortunate to have late night TV these days - I enjoyed listening to an interview with Mr. Lithgow regarding his book Dumpty.. What an amazing artist his is, and in so many many ways.

Take care,
