So, this came up in my Facebook feed today.

"A woman allegedly gave her ex-lover a cooler that held the deceased remains of
her miscarried fetus, saying, "here's your kid."".

I am not sure what I find scarier..

That she was only charged with harrasment (I would think this might be crossing
the line into stalking. Though since the child aborted naturaly I guess there
was no implied threat.

or

That the majority of the comments actually side with her, mostly because he did
not believe she was pregnant.

However, with her obvious tenuous hold on mental health, I don't think I would believe her on face value either.

What do you think? Do you think the charges should have been more severe?

Do you think she lost the plot?

Not necessarily, but...

Do you think she lost the plot?

... her mental health should probably be evaluated. I would also wonder
what the relationship was like, i.e. maybe he was mentally abusive, but her reaction is extreme.

Not sure what's going on here, but it seems these posts (RugRat seems to be doing it also) are either being posted in Dovenet and sent to Fidonet as well (or being posted in Fidonet and sent to Dovenet, not sure). Are you possibly using the same echotag? "DEBATE" is a Fidonet echotag, I use "DOVE-DEB" for Dovenet's Debate echo, but one could use any prefix for Dovenet to separate the two.

i think people should also use the practice of keeping data files in separate directories.

I am posting to this thread on the FIDO side.

My tags are as follows:

Internal FIDO Tags
FIDO: DEBATEF DEBATE
DOVE: DOVE-DEB DOVE-DEBATE

So they should be separate here.

I figured he crossposted the original, but I did see his response to me
come through once in each echo, both with a "Z1" origin line. As there have recently been quite a few posts in Dove Debate that have not "crossed over," I wonder if maybe it is a system that just recently added one of the networks
(or echoes).

FWIW, this post from you only came to me via the Dove side.

Anyone getting the DOVE echoes from me via ftn are using a Z723 address,
which I picked because your system also uses that zone. ;)

i can't believe people do this stuff. it's not like ftn is hard. someone who knows nothing about it can set it up correctly.

Correct. I had this happen to me a very long time ago, and made the
changes to separate the two. Using the default config for Dovenet
when setting it up, as well as hooking up to Fidonet, you end up
cross posting messages by using the same message base files.

that's why it's best to keep things in their own directories. it's just messy to have it all go in one area.

It's not really a configuration problem on the sysop's end. It's two separate networks that, by default, use the same internal code and
possibly even Fidonet areatag (when a prefix is not in use). Anyone

i think it really is a configuration problem. and maybe something that needs to be addressed because it's happened so much. people to need to pay attention to what they are doing when they are connected to networked msg boards. and like i said before, having all the different msg areas in the same place is messy.

and i know it makes it easier to run fixsmb and chksmb when they are all muddled together. but it's still easy to do it when it's separate.
