I have had a 22 friend who has been keeping track on the activities at the Inn in my absence. 23 It seems that my name is cursed because I introduced the ants to the Inn. 24 Well, my original intention was for about 15 ants, and I would deal with them 25 outside of the Inn. Somewhere along the line, 15 went to about 150, people 26 moved me all over the place, and somebody put them inside. When I originally 27 started, I said to have them killed if it was a bad idea, but after that it 28 was out of my hands. 29 I do agree that little misadventure was the start of this lousy phase of the 30 writing. But you really shouldn't blame me for that, and even if you do, at 31 least spell my name right ( with a "y", not a "e" - Birdmen ). If you really 32 want me off the system, I will go. But I will only listen to some of the old 33 timers that I remember and respect, before I do anything.

In the courtyard, the horses shifted nervously, 246 jingling the rings on their harnesses, with their ears perked towards the 247 patch of dusky sky between the evergreens. The apprentice and bard both 248 broke off their murmured conversation to direct alert eyes towards the 249 Backwater's entrance, and in the quiet, the splashing dance of the stream 250 that lived behind the Inn could be clearly heard, almost sounding like a 251 humming tune, wistful and meloncoly... From the shimmering half-darkness, 252 a small barefoot figure stepped, her feet arched like dancer's, clad in 253 the purest of white, which billowed slightly as if a gentle wind followed. 254 She hesitated at the doorway, as always, poised as if ready to flee, and 255 probed the gathering with dark eyes. The apprentice gestured towards a 256 glass of chilled cider, garnished with an orange slice. She smiled 257 fondly at him, but shook her head. A fellow marked Damien II hastened 258 to offer his seat; she curtseyed with a swish of silk, but declined. 259 She inclined her head gratefully at Aaron's exuberant greeting, blushing, 260 and turned especially to seek the Innkeeper in greeting. Not many had 261 gathered that evening, but the Inn was never idle long, and conversations 262 resumed, the knot of regulars at the center table being the busiest. 263 The girl took an uncertain step towards them, and a man who reckoned to 264 the name of Joshua proffered a friendly toast, joined by another with a 265 booming voice and lapel marked NET. L'homme, busy in the middle, cast 266 an annoyed glance over his shoulder at her, and she flushed. "I--" she 267 began, but her voice came out as a quavering high note. Josuah looked 268 expectant, and a few quieted to hear her. "Excuse me...gentlemen?" 269 This time L'homme turned around, glowering, and his comrades hushed as 270 well. "Ach, pardon me, sirs: I owe you all an apology." she stammered, 271 twisting her fingers and darting quick looks at Josuah and L'homme. She 272 gestured helplessly as they waited: "Please convey my humble apology also 273 to McKane and associates; I had no right to speak so harshly! If--if I may 274 explain...talk of murders, violence and lust are what appall me, and that 275 is what prompted my departure in the past. Joshua, you are right: as but 276 an occasional visitor, it is no place of mine to cry foul. My old friend 277 the apprentice even chastised me for my anger; I thank you two for your 278 kindly manner." "Its just...when women are mentioned here--" she paused, 279 drawing taller and flashing angry eyes around the circle: "Who was it, 280 Petrov?!" she spat; "They are tawdry, conniving; altogether disgusting!" 281 Again she stopped, fists clenched and trembling, fury crackling from her 282 like sparks: "Don't you have any respect for women? Why do you not 283 seek friendship, intelligence or gentleness in your fantasy women?" 284 The men drew back in surprise at this sudden transformation, and had 285 no answer immediately. Searching their faces, she relaxed, and drew 286 "I await your defense, gentlemen!" and a slight smile tickled her mouth. 287 up a rough-hewn bench. Once more her voice thrummed out in earnestness: 288 joshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshua 289 Hail, d, and well met! After such an eloquently delivered apology, 290 what can I say? Welcome back, and I hope you continue your visits. 291 Your entries supply a delighful bit of color amidst the "my father is 292 bigger than your father," and other such inanities. 293 Regarding Petrov, until he decides to reply for himself, I can offer this 294 potentially mitigating data: the episode to which you undoubtably refer was, 295 as far as we can tell, only his second offering to the system. It may have 296 been an experiment to test the limitiations of the audience, to see what framework 297 he had to build within. Of course, it may also be an alternate personna for 298 an already existing person, seeing what he can do without damaging his own 299 'normal' character. Since Petrov has been elusive to date, it's hard to say. 300 However, his third entry did back off from the explicitness of the 2nd. 301 Perchance he discovered that he overstepped the bounds. There was a certain 302 amount of negative feedback regarding it. Again, it's hard to be sure. 303 Perhaps Petrov would care to comment? 304 Anyway, again Welcome Back d . 305 02:53:27 07/12/84 306 joshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajoshua 307 DO RUN DO RUN DO RUN DO RUN DO RUN DO RUN DO RUN DO RUN DO RUN DO RUN DO RUN DO RU 308 DODLEY RUNYAN WOKE UP A HALF HOUR EARLY.

I am what is 341 refered to as a "child molester", though I don't care much for 342 the label. 343 This is the first time I've ever discussed this with 344 anyone before. The only reason I'm willing to discuss it now 345 is because I'm anonymous and there is nothing you can do to 346 hurt me. Besides, you were looking for a controversy to 347 discuss. 348 First off, I'm not a bad person. I do church work, run 349 a boy scout troop, am good to my kids, and am respected by 350 my friends and neighbors. I'm not some sleeze that lurks in 351 the bushes looking for innocent little children. I've never 352 hurt anyone. 353 The only thing unusual about me is that I have strong 354 sexual feelings for young boys. During most of my adult life 355 I've had one or two secret lovers. I never forced myself on 356 anyone, it was always something everyone wanted to do. 357 I know this is something that society disapproves of but 358 I'm not sure why. My boys enjoy what we do as much as I do. 359 Often they are the ones who initiate it. Who are we hurting? 360 I don't understand how this can be so bad when it is some- 361 thing that gives everyone so much pleasure. You guys said you 362 were looking for something to discuss. How about talking about 363 why society is so uptight about the love between a man and a 364 boy. 365 366 Frank 367 368 $%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$ 369 [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] 370 To Frank: I am going to avoid that discusion altogether.

It's 378 skeletal features were covered by a semi transparent cloak and forest clothes. 379 The apparition moves towards the sleeping wolf, and it's form began to change. 380 When it bent down to touch the wolf, it had taken on the form of a man in his 381 late twenties, and man who had once been a regular at the Inn. He looked 382 much the same, except that the color of his whole body, and all his posessions 383 where shades of grey and black.

How can you, as a responsible adult (?), claim ignorance of 423 natural tenets as the pertain to sexual development ???...At best it 424 is a confusing blend of emotion and physical development that marks the 425 passage of adolescence ...at worst sheer HELL...and you have the 426 unmitigated contempt to foist your unbridled attentions on these children 427 who as yet have not discovered their OWN sexual identity....You willfully 428 and malevolently alter their growth....All under the infantile guise and 429 refrain of " If it feels good do it " 430 That is the worst rationalization of any perversion I have ever heard. 431 How do you feel about your children comming in contact with pedophiles ( other 432 than yourself....or have you beaten them to it ? ) 433 How about your wife ? 434 My personal abhorrance aside - Seek professional help. For it is a 435 crime both legally and morally to ask of child what is not yet his to give. 436 437 ::::::::::Alex:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 438 439 P.S. Yes The Last starfighter was good ...saw it last friday 440 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 441 Hey, something just occured to me.... 442 Mig is a teenager, good at videogames & does maintainance at a trailer park. 443 Does this sound familar? 444 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 445 Jay noticed the new game as he was heading home. "Starfighter? Not very 446 original, but these graphics!" 447 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 448 Sorry MIG, I couldn't resist! 449 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 450 In view of certain "traditions" in the spy thriller field... 451 Oh, Oh-Oh-Seven! (words & music: John Brunner)(yes, THE John Brunner!) 452 There's a dark grey Bentley drophead and it's piled against a wall, 453 And a curl of smoke is rising overhead, 454 For the bomb was in the dashboard -- but the man's not hurt at all 455 Though the pretty girl beside him is stone dead! 456 Oh Oh-Oh-Seven! Oh Oh-Oh-Seven! 457 Will you kindly stop dispatching girls to heaven? 458 There's crowds outside the Pearly Gate -- 459 So get this message through your pate: 460 Just keep those girls alive! 461 462 There's a vodka dry martini and it stands on Harry's Bar 463 And it's flavored with a dash of cyanide. 464 Now the man who asked and paid for it has left for Zanzibar 465 But his sultry half-caste girl friend has just died! 466 Oh Oh-Oh-Seven! Oh Oh-Oh-Seven! 467 Will you kindly stop dispatching girls to heaven? 468 There's crowds outside the Pearly Gate -- 469 The angel choirs they try to date -- 470 So get this message through your pate: 471 Just keep those girls alive! 472 473 There's a two-five-seven Mannlicher with telescopic sights 474 And a bullet with his name is up for test, 475 But it's very hard to hold him still thses warm romantic nights, 476 So the villain's faithless mistress has gone west! 477 Oh Oh-Oh-Seven! Oh Oh-Oh-Seven! 478 Will you kindly stop dispatching girls to heaven? 479 There's crowds outside the Pearly Gate -- 480 The angel choirs they try to date -- 481 We simply cannot concentrate! 482 So get this message thru your pate: 483 Just keep those girls alive! 484 485 There's a mamba and a cobra and a rattler and a krait 486 And they've all been hidden in a hotel bed, 487 But the girl he met this evening said she simply couldn't wait, 488 So he's still alive and she's been killed instead! 489 Oh Oh-Oh-Seven! Oh Oh-Oh-Seven! 490 Will you kindly stop dispatching girls to heaven? 491 There's crowds outside the Pearly Gate -- 492 The angel choirs they try to date -- 493 We simply cannot concentrate! 494 The situation's desperate! 495 So get this message through your pate: 496 Just keep those girls alive! 497 498 There's an urgent memorandum and it's gone up to the Boss, 499 And it's come back marked for action right away, 500 For the Earth is short of beauty and can't stand this constant loss, 501 So there's got to be an end to Jimmy's play! 502 Oh Oh-Oh-Seven! Oh Oh-Oh-Seven! 503 Will you kindly stop dispatching girls to heaven? 504 There's crowds outside the Pearly Gate -- 505 The angel choirs they try to date -- 506 We simply cannot concentrate! 507 The situation's desperate! 508 You've had your chance and sealed your fate -- 509 JUST KEEP THOSE GIRLS ALIVE! 510 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 511 The only defense I can offer is that while "copying" the spy thriller 512 format they copied the bad "traditions" with the good. 513 Note that *I* do not attempt to "justify" anyone's actions. I see no 514 reason why such is necessary. Apoligies are sometimes necessary, but I fail to 515 see why someone feels a need to justify their actions! 516 Now that THAT is out of the way, I am in need of a drink! 517 Innkeeper! A flagon of stout, if you please! And refills for my friends! 518 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BARD~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 519 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 520 Frank: No comment... 521 Anyone: I am getting a printer this weekend for my C-64. Does anyone know if it can be used with the 1600 modem? 522 That is, without re-writing the modem program, . Any useful help would be appreciated. 523 P.A.L.'s: I was going to call last night, but I couldn't get through. 524 Teddy S: Grow up!!!! Your attitude towards MiG and the Ninja is stupid. They warned you before they did anything 525 before hand. They gave you a chance. Stop pestering them (and us) with your feeble threats. I mean, my fellow police 526 friends would like to know where you live, so they won't watch it... 527 Milchar: I know, I know...Don't bug me about it... 528 PorSFiS People: I definitly WON'T be attending the meeting Sat. Last night I wasn't too sure, but now it's for 529 sure. I trust that you won't be too disappointed. (If you are in the first place.) 530 See ya' all later.......... 531 532 ??????????????????????????????? The Doctor ??? Lt. Commander of the Starfleet ?????????????? July 12, 1984 ????????????? 533 P.S: If you so have that printer info, please tleave me a message (non-private) to The Doctor on CBBS/PCS by Friday. 534 Thanks a lot!!! 535 536 ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Doctor ?????????????????????????? July 12, 1984 ???????????? 537 YOU GUYS DONT REALLIE TAIK THIS GUY FRANK SEROUS DO YOU? 538 I'M NEW AND DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL THIS, BUT I HAD TO RESPOND TO FRANK. I 539 AGREE WITH ALEX (I THINK IT WAS) WHO RAISED THE QUESTION OF THE BOYS' 540 FEELINGS. I ALSO COULDN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHY HE WOULD HAVE RAISED SUCH 541 AN ISSUE IF IT WAS NOT BOTHERING HIM. I TRUST THAT GOOD JUDGEMENT WILL 542 PREVAIL AND THAT HE WILL SEEK SOME HELP. THERE IS HOPE FOR ALL WHO WILL 543 LOOK FOR IT. 544 545 P.S. I love all the borders between messages. As I said, I'm new at 546 this and would like to know more. Bye for now. 547 **********************************************7/12/84 - 23:54//////////// 548 *****************************************************ANNA**************** 549 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 550 What? Still no description of the Dragon Room? Must I bring it upon myself? Oh, well , at least I can do... 551 ++++++++++++++ 552 Milchar stepped into the kitchen of the Dragon Room. It seemed well-kept for this part of town, and that seemed odd. 553 A cook was busily stirring vegetables in a shallow pan, his back to the mage. Just as well, as he would have had a 554 coronary. Milchar looked about himself, saw his attire was unfit for the occasion, and willed for better clothes... 555 (Now switching to first person, it's about time I did...) 556 I look down and see that I am dressed in a trenchcoat, and wearing a dark hat that just barely shaded my face. 557 Feeling much better, I slipped by the cook and entered the main Dining Hall... 558 +++++++++++++ 559 Frank: I won't touch that subject with a ten-foot BBS. 560 +++++++++++++ 561 Doctor: I'll write the term program for your blasted printer.
