Once the trash is deleted from this ng, it once again becomes not only
readable, but half way enjoyable. Good-by trolling nusiance!
Permanently - enjoy wallowing in the fecal matter pot.

Not so John. Sometimes it is prudent to killfile and delete the posts of
ignorant people. Tramp who admits to posting some software that is
infested with adware or spyware. Dr. Jai who has contributed absolutely
nothing to this group but his stupidity. Andy Mabbet who shows up
occasionally to argue pointlessly (and rather childishly) with John
Corliss. But take I heart, I hold no malice to Outlook Express users
that insist on top-posting.

And what about Thunderbird users that do the same?
Brian, oh, Brian.

Sorry I am allergic to people who killfile others.

I believe that you should see whats happening in a newsgroup at all times.
So my method is
that I give a color to a particular poster if needed. This gives me an
opportunity to see what
he/she is doing, and saying while at the same time avoiding him/her posts if
necessary.
Closing your eyes & ears or shutting up others does not help.
I see plonkers like dear Helen as internet snobs that find gratification in
plonking others
that don't agree with them. They seem to feel superior in some disturbing
way by doing that.

As for the 2 people you said, you never know how things may turn around.
I prefer to give people a chance, and people change. Plonking is immature.
Plonking means you are ignoring others.. and I ignore no one. Even if he
does not
contribute as you say. That person can do something great at one time.

That's what I mean when I say killfiling is ignorance. Because its
prejudice,
and prejudice is ignorance.

Reality folded in on itself, and somewhere the following words from
"John Jay Smith" appeared in history:
Only people of incredible ignorance, killfile and delete posts.

worth listening to

I hope you notice that I don't answer Andy anymore (as my sig file
indicates.) It's hard to have an argument with only one person involved.
What Andy is doing isn't arguing, it's stalking. 80)>

Regards from John Corliss
I don't reply to trolls like Andy Mabbett or Doc (who uses sock puppets)
for instance. No adware, cdware, commercial software, crippleware,
demoware, nagware, PROmotionware, shareware, spyware, time-limited
software, trialware, viruses or warez for me, please.

Hence my point that his actions are pointless and childish.

You know, people (a human) who need a Doctor, needs at least a second
human apart from him- or herself.

Yeah, he is really strange. I can understand you, but not without
saying that I don't have troubles, and I don't think it will get very
serious or bad with Andy and me.



Kind regards,

I'm with you, Helen.

This morning I sat in a class allegedly for adults, and like so often
before, wished I could filter out all the meaninless jabber.

(The chief offenders are schoolteachers, look no further to understand the
state of modern British education)......., anyhow

on usenet I can

I can do the same thing without having colors. I can choose what to
read based on the letters in the words.
 
good riddens!

Had you thought your cod-philosophy through properly, you'd understand
the paradox behind your apparent pleasure at someone adding you to
their killfile.

You must 'redo from start'.

Did the bad man say nasty things about you, diddums?

Tough.

Free clue: pointing out your lies, hypocrisy and threats isn't stalking.
