    Was he really that annoying? Usually he just tried to post some conversation starters, but it seemed not everyone was interested in those posts. IMO that's hardly annoying.

    Oh, I think TM was pretty annoying, in a "tone deaf" kind of way.

    i think the person might kick the bucket soon. do people get a free pass to be annoying because they're ill? NOPE

    Was he really that annoying? Usually he just tried to post some conversation starters, but it seemed not everyone was interested
    in those posts. IMO that's hardly annoying.

    I found him quite annoying. Pretty much every single one of his posts/questions were completely inane and ridiculous. Often incomplete
    and out of the blue. Nothing wrong with conversation starters, but that
    isn't what he was.

    There was a guy local to me that was my first experience on FidoNet.

    This reminds me that I have completely lost touch with my original FidoNet guru. He was also older than me and lived in a nearby city. He was NC264 from the beginning of net 264 and I took it over from him probably around 1990 or so. I wish I knew how to connect with him again, if for no other reason than to say hello.

    well because back then in the 90s people didnt talk about how they were gay all day. now everyone is gay and you can't talk about being straight.

    i dont talk period and dont want other people to talk about their orientation. i don't want to see it, i don't want to hear it.

    Well you can, but you'll become a meme if someone takes your pic, AND the people you tell you are "just straight" will look at you with disgust in
    their eyes.

    i dont talk period and dont want other people to talk about their orientation. i don't want to see it, i don't want to hear it.

    This is how I feel. There are at least 1000 things wrong in the world
