of my messages from a different BBS on those networked bases went
THROUGH his BBS, his BBS would silently drop that message.

That's major overkill.

IHMO: He was just too stupid to know what he did.

This guy who kicked me off his BBS went to great
lengths too. I try to log in and it says "All nodes are in use." (I'm certain that that's not some weird Mystic bug.)

Back when I ran a BBS many decades ago, when I had a problem user, I would set his access level very low and he would get a message of "You can't call here anymore." But some people don't get the hint.

I had set up a Mystic BBS on an old Raspberry PI as an experiment not too long ago. I never advertised the BBS since it was never intended to be publically available - but I had to open up networking so that I could get to it from work.

One day, someone else logged in to it. I killed his account.
A few days later, he logged in again, re-creating his account. I set his account to "you can read a message and log off" explaining that this was not a public BBS.
The next month, I found he added my BBS to the Telnet BBS list!

If I were still running a BBS, I would certainly welcome people who disagree with my political views.

But Leftoids, especially ones with TDS, can't handle facts that go counter to their false Narrative. It reminds them that they are wrong.

I like the Dovenet guys. They are pretty decent.

I think Dovenet is one of the areas I avoid now. I don't remember.

I do know that the cancellation problem seems to have gone away (or when I notice, it seems to be related to simple technical problems).

It's good that you were that clear about it though. This guy who blocked me is beating around the bush.

Leftists are all about optics. I banned someone because I listed the rules and they didn't follow the rules.

Leftists are ruled by feelings. So they list the rules, you follow the rules, but you say something that they don't like. If they outright banned you, they'd look bad because, according to the rules, you did nothing wrong.

No. Just a clueless leftoid looking for "cred".

Canada is in a technical recession right now because of Trumps trade negotiations...

See below.

There are issues in Canada, instead of working with Trump to secure a favorable deal for everyone... we have retards negotiating for Canada.

This is the actual reason Canada is in a recession. Not because of "trade negotiations".

Here's an example... Canada wants EVs... instead of having Canadians
make them, we have the plants, Canada import them from CHINA.

I will argue that this is not true for most of Canada. Batteries don't work well when the temp gets cold.

All the liberals are back east in the 2 largest provinces and these
are the people who vote these people in.

Out west Alberta will be voting this October to leave Canada, become
its own country or the 51st State.

That would be nice.

IHMO: The only way out of this mess is to let them fail and pick up the pieces afterwards.

A few months back I drove from southern Ontario out to Alberta and there were charging station all along the way... even in remote areas.

The government seems to be sold on the EV idea.

Trump made a joke about Canada needing to be the 51 State and the
liberals capitalized on that and they won an other term in office. Had Trump not made that Joke we might have had a Conservative leader and
we'd be better off.

Trump is using the same strategy as he's doing in Iran: He's making it so hot for the Elitists in charge that there will be an internal regime change without direct U.S. intervention.

The trade between Canada and the US is ~323 Billion whereby the US buys
~ 80% of that and Canada @ ~ 20%. Trump sees that as an issue... Why
is that 80/20 and not better like 60/40 or 50/50.

Because all the manufacturing/innovation can't survive under a socialist gov't.

Anyway, either Canada is not listening to Trump's demands or they are stupid... or both.

Canadian "leaders" are Elitists. They think that they dictate the terms to the non-Elitists. They don't know how to negotiate. Because negotiation can only happen between equals.

The fix for Canada is either start working on the trade agreement or
stop selling their sh!t to the US and just move on.

But no one else wants to buy their Special High Intensity Training.

Right, but the fix for Canada isn't the fix for Carney. Carney and his puppeteers need division, and a trade deal in would ruin all their
effort to keep Canadians angry with MAGA people.

Keep in mind the end goal for Carney's puppeteers: A return to the feudal system where they have everything and the rest of us toil for their comfort.

Anything that takes them away from that goal is "bad".

I saw something in passing whereby they stated that Canada doesn't have the people to assist in manufacturing/innovation...

This could explain why Carney is getting China to manufacture their EVs and not having Canadians build them.

And that's actually reasonable. But can you really trust a device made in China now?
