Wow md. it is like you read my mind. That *is* exactly how I feel. All you
grexers abandoned Mnet and now you're pissed that the folks you thought you
could leave behind have decided to follow you.

Actually, I would venture to guess that a lot of Grexers started out as
Grexers.  I logged onto M-Net a year later when I found out about it, noted
how it resembled a chatroom full of immature teenagers, decided I didn't fit
in, and didn't go back.  I didn't sit there and make fun of it;  I just didn't
log on again.  Is that really so hard to do?

Re #76: I'm not an ex-mnetter.  In fact, I've never used M-Net.

I did try M-net a couple of times.  It wasnt' to my liking, so I didn't go
back.  Doesn't bug me any, since I don't expect everybody to like Grex.

You know, we could probably solve this better if people left out the snide
childish comments.

md's resp:73, discussing the formation of the war party on M-net, 
is absolutely in accordance with my own observations.  The only difference
is that md is reading the anti-Grex campaign by digging through 
historical General conferences there, while I saw it develop in real
time through reading the conference every day.

re resp:84 It isnt as if there havent been similar conversations on
grex...especially in party. I usually shrug it off because who cares if *some*
mnetters hate grex or if *some* grexers hate mnet? The people I care about
like me for the most part.

There would be one really nice side-effect of getting a restraining
order against willard, twinkie, and the rest.  Nice for M-Net, anyway.
They'd have to *stay* on M-Net, and they'd have to take an interest in
its survival if they wanted to have a place to play.  They might actually
have to think about how they affect it.  Sure can't hurt it... or them.

The stuff that willard, iggy and slynne are dumping in Agora is mostly
noise, worthless.  There have been times when there was so much of it
that it amounted to a denial-of-service attack (and still does, from the
response of some people).  A restraining order would benefit us too.

Willard, get lost.  (Will he?  I doubt it.  But it'll be fun to see if
he's a man of his word, or just another liar.)

Nobody is required to like or agree to all of the posts.  *COPE*

Denial of service my ass.  Agora is not any less usable than it has
ever been.  In fact, I would argue that it is 'enhanced' by the
contributions of its newcomers, myself included.  There is a much
wider array of discussion available.

I don't know if you have to show intent in these things.  But is so, 
there's this, among other things:

   I say we should turn Agora into a rotting pit of slime like 
   General.  Or has it already started?  I'm not reading it.

   I'm working on it.  Come help.

Definitely.  Especially since everyone knows we were joking, and that
we'd never do anything to hurt our friendly granola-eating neighbors.

You have thoughts?  Wow.
