Sometimes it is best to take the advice of experts.Subject: 3.3 The
destructive Troll
In about the year 1999 a new breed of Troll appeared who
have the declared intention of destroying a specific Target
newsgroup. This is done by a variety of posts, (see
Section 4) intended to drive normal posters away from the
specific newsgroup.
When the percentage of Troll posts, including followups
exceeds about 75% of the total posts, most readers seem to
just give up and unsubscribe. Subject: 5.1 Ignore them and they will go
away.
This is the traditional usenet method of dealing with
Trolls, and is regularly suggested.It is similar to the method use to train
dogs, and very
young children, ignore bad behaviour and reward good
behaviour. Thus it is only likely to work if the, The Infant
or Attention Seeker theory, is true

I may have talked about this idea before.........
Here is an idea. Why not address questions presented to you in other
threads you started before starting yet another new thread?
Jim, are you just looking for a fight? My gosh, you posed the question,
"For the rich????????"
Was that really supposed to be more than rhetorical?
You're trying with Harry, now you're trying with dhohara. Why not knock
it off?
Jeeeesh!

BTW: Everyone has a bad day every once in a while. I did indeed get
into with Harry the other day but I did so only to set his lies
straight.
Funny that you never commented on his troll and continued arguing.
I don't comment on Harry's troll and arguing because that's what Harry
*wants*.
Regardless, I recall you having a bad *month* with calling Harry a word
I shall not repeat with every post you made to him.
Yes, that's true. I apologized for it, and it has not been repeated.
My point is that we all have our bad days John and you being my netmommy
is not appreciated.
Understood.
No offense, fellas, but, really, it's a bit too much of "do as I say," not
"do as I do." Hardly a day goes by here without both of you directly or
indirectly insulting others. Perhaps you need to stand and and say the
following here every day:
1. I am powerless over trolling-my life has become unmanageable.
2. I believe a power greater than myself has made me this way, and I
am not responsible for my behavior. Harry is responsible.
3. I have made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the
care of RepubliGod as I understood him.
4. I have made a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself, and
discovered that I couldn't count...
And so on.
Stay tuned for the next installment of the The Reverands.
"Hi! My name is (Jim, John, whatever), and I am a newsgroup troller. I
have gone (one, two, 10, 30) days without insulting anyone."
