Hello Nick,

 DC>> Michiel is a little too........... preachy, for me.

 WD>> Try to look at it from a different angle.

 NA> I have tried Ward and I have failed to become impressed.

Michiel is Dutch. So he has a legitimate excuse.
A Flying Dutchman. With a ham radio license. Not
many of those around any more.

 NA> I have failed, because that person has failed to impress ME.

First you have to learn morse code.

 NA> And I give everyone one chance. Objectiveness, fair, open-minded, my trust,
 NA> you name it. I've sent Sysops money, computers, source code, I've lost
 NA> count
 NA> how many hours I've put into that silly mailer, how many times Sean Dennis
 NA> calls because he needs someone to talk to...

That explains it -

"I then got myself involved in a very unhealthy friendship that I
allowed to go on for too long that sucked the life out of me."
~ Sean Dennis, 1-4-2023

 NA> We won't get into how many times you and I have traded silly Netmails
 NA> because we are friends. We have trust.

Better for you to follow Sean's example by saying it all in public.
I'll spare the details, as he lays it all out in the Cooking echo.

 NA> Now that chance is immediately and forever blown when someone acts towards
 NA> me
 NA> like a techno-dick (preachy/lecturing on tech I don't care jack-shit to
 NA> hear
 NA> or insisting its SOOOOOO important) or calling me a liar (as that "soft
 NA> spoken" person did with his incorrect assessment of IPV4 in Canada a decade
 NA> ago) or generally just behaving in a weird douchebag way.

That is the first time I heard anybody call Sean a techno-dick.
But he does tend to go on and on and on about himself - usually
what happens be to be wrong with him at any given time. Along
with ad hominems towards me when he has too much Lee on his mind.

 NA> Preachy techno-dick nonsense doesn't sit well with me because I've been in
 NA> IT
 NA> in a professional capacity for 25+ years. I've worked with IT managers who
 NA> talk a great game but know shit about PC repair-101. I've worked with bench
 NA> techs who can barely speak English but work magic with Linux. And I've
 NA> worked
 NA> with many who claimed blahblahblah tech will be blahblahblah popular and
 NA> they
 NA> were (and are) clearly WRONG... Myspace, Microsoft Zune, Bitcoin and IPV6.

Donald Trump is a "stable genius" - he said so himself.
That should rule him out for being a techno-dick. Even if
he is never wrong.

 NA> Chances are also immediately blown when a person goes out of their way to
 NA> be
 NA> vindictive, trolling, making cute little passive-aggressive remarks... and
 NA> starting that stupid "nodelist police" echo ONLY after I outright refused
 NA> to
 NA> be a dictator to RC's. Thats the only reason you enjoy that echo. You have
 NA> me
 NA> to thank for that. It was created because I refuse to take marching-orders
 NA> from a passive-aggressive Dutch techno-dick with no balls and no life.

Is that the only difference between Dutch techno-dicks and Canadian
techno-dicks? And what about Cajun techno-dicks? Do they even count?

 NA> So I will celebrate their grand departures wholeheartedly and I guarantee
 NA> the
 NA> overall tone of the network will be vastly improved without techno-dicks or
 NA> douchebags or a troll lecturing about America from behind a Swedish
 NA> keyboard.

The keyboard I am using (at this moment) is made in China. I do not
even know if there is such a thing as a Swedish keyboard. But I do have
another keyboard that is made in the USA. It just has the wrong kind of
plug.

 NA> I do not give second chances, I do not look past their odd mannerisms or
 NA> shrug it off as a "cultural thing", I will not see things from their
 NA> point of view.

I am sorry Sean dumped you. But there are other guys you can be with.
However, no more orgies for me. Far too old for that, so will have to
pass.

 NA> I have always played fair with everyone. They have never played fair with
 NA> me.

Then come to the Mardi Gras! Spend some time on Bourbon Street!
If you prefer guys, dress as a drag queen on Peter Street!
Jim Morrison was both a god and a goddess in New Orleans before
he moved to Paris ...

 NA> An asshole is an asshole in any language.

One size fits all.

For Life,
Lee
