4> To everyone in these newsgroups: the troll that has plagued you for
some
4> time now is David J. Tholen.
What does your classic erroneous presupposition have to do with
OS/2, Calvin?
4> Tholen is a notorious Usenet kook who has
4> won KOTM once (March 1998) and Clueless Newbie of the Month *twice*
(in
4> February 2003 as himself -- despite being on usenet for at *least*
five
4> years by that point -- and again in April 2009 as "Seamus MacRae"
as an
4> ELEVEN year Usenet veteran).
What does your classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim have
to do with OS/2, Calvin? I have never used the "Seamus MacRae"
alias. Of course, others have used my alias, and one or more
of those others could have used the "Seamus MacRae" alias, but
if you had better research skills, you'd be able to distinguish
those cases, Calvin.
4> Tholen has been active under a wide variety of aliases for over a
dozen
4> years and is recognizable by a distinct pattern of OCD-like
ritualized
4> responses once under attack.

4> He has a few such patterns, one of which is
4> the "what does X have to do with <newsgroup topic>/classic
4> unsubstantiated and erroneous claim" most closely associated with
his
4> real-world identity. Then there's the "[insult deleted]"/"none of
the
4> nasty things" pattern, and others.

4> Tholen is not actually a reply-bot, but he might as well be one.
How ironic, coming from someone who might as well be one, considering
your poor research skills, Calvin.
4> The only recourse with Tholen is your killfile.
What is the recourse with you, Calvin? Will you ever post something
relevant to OS/2 in an OS/2 newsgroup, Calvin?
4> If you want Tholen to shut up, do not reply to Tholen.
What does it take for you to shut up, Calvin?
4> This will be my only post to this thread.
Famous Last Words. And how convenient, considering all the false
claims you made, Calvin. Hit and run tactics.
