What if Mabbett/Corliss were actually the same person using different
nyms?

I know, I know... but just the thought of it REALLY cracks me up...

You must be VERY easily up-cracked.

Personally i don't really care as long as they debate it like
grown ups, by that I mean, no lies or verbal abuse, let them debate
it alone in a thread, that way they both may find some sort of
closure or peace, who knows they could resolve it and become best
of friends,

to quote Plato:

Wise men talk because they have something to say
fools talk because they have to say something.

ok I will shut up now.

That brings to mind a horror film I saw some time ago [...]

How about, 'The Thing With Two Heads'.

[John Corliss]

First off let me start by saying I don't know either of you..and based on
past behavior of both of you I probably prefer to keep it that way. I've
lurked on this newsgroup for a couple of years now.

Would you BOTH please KILLFILE each other and STOP posting to each other
EVER AGAIN? I don't care if one of you declares himself the AntiChrist. LET
IT GO. Let someone ELSE call them on the carpet. This includes leaving
childish signatures that "so and so is killfiled so I can't see his
posts"...those of us interested in freeware DON'T CARE and all you do is
incite MORE flame posts.

Hmm. Let's see now. For about two weeks or so, my signature filie has
been announcing the fact that I've killfiled Andy Mabbett. Why don't
you direct your message to him, since *he* is the one who doesn't have
*me* killfiled.

If you compare the small number of posts I've directed to him versus
the flood of posts he's directed at me, you'll easily see that he is
the troll and in fact is obsessively stalking me. And he's really
taking a great risk by doing so. He'd really better start listening to
my warnings. I'm not ****ing around anymore.

If you don't like his posts, killfile him. He never contributes
anything to this group anyway, and about he only thing you can say
good about him is that he rarely uses sock puppets.

Oh, by the way, you can always killfile me too. I don't ever
intentionally change my user name either, and you killfiling me will
not break my heart.

 

[John Corliss]

How come you never made the same objection when Corliss was abusing
someone else's domain in that way?

This is slanderous Andy. Unless you can prove intent on my part (and
you can't, because I changed my munge to correct the situation as soon
as I was aware of it), I demand that you retract that remark.

I don't even remember you doing that. Wonder if it was before I came
aboard.

kilfiled

good move. if more people followed suit, we wouldn't be
corliss-infested.

 

[Box134]

I think they should settle it like they did in the old West. Mabett and
Corliss should duel to the end with newsreaders blazing. Line-by-line bottom
posted rebuttals, day and night, until someone can't think of a response. I
guess it could go on for weeks.

been announcing the fact that I've killfiled Andy Mabbett. Why don't
you direct your message to him, since *he* is the one who doesn't have
*me* killfiled.

Yes, but despite having him killfiled you still seem remarkably aware of
what he is doing, and have started at least 3 threads in the last week
that relate only to your feud with him. You are just playing into the
hands of trolls by acting in such an immature way. You don't fight fire
with fire in newsgroups, that's just asking for trouble.

Seriously, I don't have to tell you this.

If you compare the small number of posts I've directed to him versus
the flood of posts he's directed at me, you'll easily see that he is
the troll and in fact is obsessively stalking me.

And you claim to be a 51 year old man, who is a veteran of newsgroups.
Despite this, you are acting like a teenager being trolled for the first
time.

Also, have you wondered why you are the one being trolled more then
anyone else? Besides the fact you have strong views on the definiton of
freeware? Perhaps because you are so easily baited?

And he's really

taking a great risk by doing so. He'd really better start listening to
my warnings. I'm not ****ing around anymore.

I would recommend that you really calm down. You are quickly becoming
irrelevant to this group, the more this carries on. And you don't want
that, I'm sure.



This is just my advice, feel free to ignore or killfile me.

Aint that what they are doing..... ;-)


[And I who promised myself I would never interfere in these kind of
threads...shame on me...]

 

[Andy Mabbett]

This is slanderous Andy.

You have previously abused other people's domains.

(and you don't seem to know the difference between slander and libel).

Unless you can prove intent on my part (and you can't, because I
changed my munge to correct the situation as soon as I was aware of
it), I demand that you retract that remark.

Tough.

Oh dear; how embarrassing for you:

Hey Andy, GOOD NEWS!!! I've decided to take you off my killfile
list.

Get ready to rumble

If you compare the small number of posts I've directed to him

Ho many of your posts have mentioned me - dishonestly, usually - in your
sig?

versus the flood of posts he's directed at me,

"flood"? Tommyrot!

you'll easily see that he is the troll
Liar.

and in fact is obsessively stalking me.
Liar.

And he's really taking a great risk by doing so. He'd really better
start listening to my warnings. I'm not ****ing around anymore.

So you keep saying, Is that another thinly- veiled threat?

If you don't like his posts, killfile him.

Why don't you?

He never contributes anything to this group anyway
Liar.

and about he only thing you can say good about him is that he rarely
uses sock puppets.

Liar. I have *never* used a sock- puppet.

Oh, by the way, you can always killfile me too. I don't ever
intentionally change my user name either,

Liar; you have previously done just that, and stated that it was to
avoid other peoples' kill- files.

 

[Andy Mabbett]

Not by me, he's not.

I must say this is starting to get amusing. It reminds me of the
storylines in soap operas or wrestling shows. I gave up wrestling shows
a few months back and now have this newsgroup's drama to keep me
entertained and laughing.

I've changed my mind. Don't stop the bickering; it's the best show on
these days. Maybe the entertainment people could get a clue by tuning
in here.

 

[Box134]

Yeah, they should have Newsgroup Island. Ten notorious newsgroupies cast
away with only their computers. At the end of the week they vote to killfile
one. The process goes on until only the Troll King is left on the island.

 

[Lester Horwinkle]

It's easier to just put "John Corliss" in your news reader's kill file. I've
been Corliss free for a long time.

The only reason I saw this post is because I have a new computer. The kill
file was the one thing I forgot to copy over from the old one. But no
matter. He's kill-filed now.
