Rod, a personal observation: your recent postings here have actually
been reasonable.
My posts were reasonable in the beginning too, until 'off topic' abuse
killed every conversation here. You and a supportive group of cronies were
a prime factor in this.
Have you decided not to be an abusive troll?
Reasons: A to K.
[snip]
In other words, no.
Bye.
That was probably just a little bit too harsh.
You did make *some* valid points in your A to K list.
I care about this newsgroup.
You rarely help newbs, declaring everything OT. How is that caring?
You've made some useful contributions to
it, but you have also behaved in a distinctly trollish manner.
IMHO, you too.
You
came into a newsgroup that's been working quite well for many years
and loudly insisted that you're right and we're all wrong about how it
should be run.
You and others, scared off alot of guys who posted. There are 10-15 threads
like that still on the newservers I use. Now, alot of guys who afraid and
just sitting on the sidelines post. I'd say that is a major improvement.
I'm sorry you don't like the new format.
You have also cooperated with Kenny McCormack, who
does *nothing* but deliberately disrupt it.
Perhaps. IMO, his humor is on the mark. And, he usually only interjects
when other people are being assholes and bastards.
And you have repeatedly
insulted me personally, and I do not choose to ignore that.
Yes I did. I thought you needed a loud wake up call to get through your
complacent perspective.
That's why you're in the killfiles of a number of the regulars, and
it's why I don't intend to spend any more of my time communicating
with you.
If by regulars you mean, CBFalconer, Flash Gordon, Mark McIntyre, et.al. I
don't need their help. I don't need my time wasted by their posts. And, if
I'm in their 'killfiles', or OE or Mozilla filter, that's great, because
they won't be harassing me.
I don't choose to use a killfile myself; if I did, you'd be
in it. Because I have *some* respect for you, I wanted you to
understand that.
I read everything. I'm sure your skills are probably much better than I
previously proclaimed. And, I was recently made aware that some of mine are
a bit rusty.
