O, sorry: I meant in the context of M-Net. Grex -- gull included -- talks
more about shitdicks than M-Net does.

Indeed, it's almost as if shitdicks is the only concept they've imparted from
m-net culture.

Funny, I was just thinking how our bbs looks far too much
like M-Net's these days...

I'll fess up: The only reason I spend so much time trying to aid, literate,
and help Grex is because I want to ruin it.

Given that a lot of people maintain accounts on both systems, I'm not sure
how one determines which among them are "M-Netters who also use Grex" and
which are vice-versa. Or even why it matters.

Ergo, due to all this opinionated speech floating around; GreX's bbs has
become more like m-net's!

Re #20: Well, I can't truly speak for the users in question. But my
understanding from what they told me is that the large quantity of
bitterness, the harassing emails, the name-calling, and the lack of a
sense that Grex is a community were the biggest problems. One person was
finding the situation stressful enough that his/her physical health was
suffering.

really?! her health was *suffering* because of people's
behavior on a bbs?
*rolls eyes*
the person in question obviously has some sort
of emotional disturbance REGARDLESS of what goes
on around here.

I forgot one of my hats in my locker at school at STP, and I don't like the
one I have at home. What does Cyberspace Communications suggest I do?

Yet another demonstration that some people take online communications
seriously. There *are* people in the world (I'm one) who don't see a bbs as
a place solely useful for trading insults.

Yup. Resp:36 is pretty revealing of the M-Net attitude. "They're just
pseudos, not real people. They don't have feelings."

Why would n't I take it seriously? I am talking to you and you are talking
to me. Just because it's not in person doesn't mean that I'm not involved in
what I'm saying and what you're saying. It's as real as the conversation I
just had with a workmate. If he said "shut up you old hag", I would be
stressed and upset, so why shouldn't I be in this forum?

That's pretty much how I feel, too. You don't have to be emotionally
disturbed to feel stress when someone yells at you, or at someone in the
same room with you. That's what it has felt like for me over the past
month.

The point you should take from #4, Jamie, is that to a lot of us this is not
just a game, of logic or anything else. I don't really expect that to mean
anything to you, but I have to say it anyway.

so gull again throws out the mysterious "m-net" like it is supposed to
be an insult. Yet he is unable to provide names or reasons as to
who this "insult" encompasses.
He hasn't even bothered to define what a grexer is, other than he identifies
himself as one. Gull, what makes a grexer?
I've been on grex since it first opened to the public in ..what year
was that.. 1991? I've been here just as long as many of you.

Iggy, if you're that bothered by inaccurate refences to "M-Netters" then
perhaps you could do something about the inaccurate references "Grexers" from
you, jp2, and others. As in "Grexers don't believe in free speech", etc.
