DU'ers! We're being stalked!
Oh yes, the Sewer Sharks, (they're too stupid to even be Freepers,) are lurking here from the Fidonet.

They call this place "Demunder."
(That's a new one, have even the Freepers used it?)

Their leader is the Georgia "newspaper editor," that was tombstoned after only 5 posts, 3 of which were attacks on me.

11. I call them that...
Strictly bottom-feeders in the muck, who can only swim to the right so they can only go in circles, and they keep biting themselves and each other in the ass. :D

10. FidoNet

FidoNet is what a lot of people used for networked discussion groups before access to the Internet became so widely available, back when BBSes (Bulleting Board Systems) were all the rage. It still has a lively base of users. At its most fundamental level, it is a network of message forums among BBSes.

It works similar to the Usenet in that there is no central server or database of messages, only without the speed due to the lack of constant connectivity. Basically, if you have a BBS, you can have a message forum that you "echo" to anyone who wants to grab it. At a set interval, once or twice a day typically but more often on some systems today, the local BBS you log-in to will contact a BBS serving as a FidoNet HUB and upload anything posted to that "echo" and downloading any new messages received by that HUB since the last time your system contacted it. Other BBSes around the country/world do the same to their local HUBS. These HUBS all communicate with one another, eventually resulting in the echo and its messages being distributed to as many BBSes as subscribe to that group/echo.

There are now ways to use the Internet for this echoing process, removing the need for sometimes expensive long distance calls to retrieve and send messages. Some FidoNet echoes are in fact "echoed" to the Usenet. There are also Internet e-mail-to-Fidonet gateways.

I could have a few details wrong since there have been many updates and refinements of the process since I frequented FidoNet groups. I once ran a BBS and pulled a few dozen echoes, back in the dark ages. I used a 9600 baud modem and made a long-distance call twice a day to update the message bases. It became rather expensive. Use of the Internet as a pathway has made it more appealing, however.

8. Most of them are stalking me.
You see, I have the GALL to be critical of their Anointed By God.

One of them has been here since 2001, yet has less than 10 posts.
Calls himself "DaMan."

9. They're everywhere tonight, my friend
Some of the older ones are coming out of the woodwork.

Some of our best folks are staying away for fear of exploding Freeper brains tainting the planet.

Watch your backs, people. Divide and conquer is what they want to do.


Now go out and kick their asses for the Constitution's sake.

12. I saw that guy today.
Edited on Wed Feb-02-05 11:30 PM by asthmaticeog
Wondered WTF was going on - he posted something that sounded like he had a great familiarity with the poster he was responding to (was it you, maybe?), but only had 6 posts. 2001, eh? That's some pretty committed lurking.

18. Of course we are.

In other news: sky still blue.

Seriously, these people are doing what brownshirts have always done: harass, intimidate, collect "files" on people, etc, etc, etc.

I've never let it bother me before, and I'm not about to start now.

They resort to intimidation and harassment because it's all they have left. Any honest debate, they lose. And they know it.

21. You've invited several
individuals from Fidonet to join you here in this forum.

That, my friend is NOT stalking. Take care in making accusations, the truth just might come back to bite you in the ass.

26. DO you suppose it REWARDS them when you start threads giving them
attention? Much like you did with that tasteless, disgusting tacky link you posted when Khephra died?
