I've seen a lot of trolls in my day, and Bobsprit is one GREAT TROLL..
He is the King Neptune of Fishing. He roars around with his motor wide
open, pulling a daisychain of lines, liberally baited with lubbers,
liars, liberals, and Lesbians. Did I mention pretenders, sock puppets,
tyrannies and queers? (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) He
stirs the fish to a frenzy, has them leaping from the water, racing in
all directions to escape the noise, the pollution, the utter stink of
his diesel. Alas, the ignorant and unwary, school beneath his stern
lantern where they eat bugs and become entwined in his hooks. I give
you fair warning, it's all about him, all the time. The boy is a genus.
One can only imagine what it would be like to be among his circle of
friends.

Then again, maybe Bobsprit is not trolling. Now that's scary!

Bobsprit may be a troll but give credit where credit is due.
His trolls are related to sailing and promote sailing discussion
the majority of the time. Bobsprit is motivated by promoting
sailing discussions. Bobsprit is an asset to this group.

This is in contrast to people like Oz1 (whom I have eliminated
in all his iterations - all it takes is the IP number), Donal who
has suffered a similar fate, and several others unworthy even
of note who never contribute any sailing related posts, not
even trolls related to sailing. Instead they concentrate on
posting lame one-liners, inane liberal lies, and crybaby
whines.

The way to make alt.sailing.asa bearable in the face of
the above and the effete and impotent, retarded invaders
from disruptive newsgroups is to not allow them to board
the alt.sailing.asa ship in the first place. When any such
losers attempt to toss their dull, low velocity grappling
hooks all the real sailors on alt.sailing.asa do is put up
their shields and laugh and watch the failed attempts at
boarding while getting a good laugh at the expense of
the lamers who think they are some sort of threat.

Ha ah aha h haha ha h ha hah ah h a hah hah ah ah !
The only threat they represent is to stand-up comedians
because they provide free entertainment that is every
bit as funny.

The bottom line is filters and the delete button are more
powerful than any pimple-faced, limp-dicked, living in a
dreamworld, pretend disrupter who has no more chance
of success than he has chin whiskers or pubic hair.
