Ah, but I've plonked him, so all I see are the replies to his crapola. I
don't care what he calls me. Never have, never will. Why do you think
otherwise? Bob is a pathetic guy, who is desperate for attention and
deserving of our sympathy. Since you feel the need to respond to him,
you're one who's feeding his psychosis. You might want to rethink it.

I think he is entertaining. Sometimes a bit over the top, sometimes cruel. I
don't respond to him all the time. I have a good respect for his trolling
ability, insight into psychology and the guy is no dummy. He is also very
resourceful and works diligently for things he wants.



Pool of sharks?? Now that's funny. This is Usenet. I couldn't care less
what goes on here. I only care about things when they go beyond this
fiction into the real world. This has happened on occasion, unfortunately.

Sharks.


Bob isn't going away, even though I (certainly) mostly ignore him. I don't
care either way, actually. He's been here a long, long time. At one point,
he actually contributed in an interesting and useful way. This changed a
few years ago, so something must have changed dramatically in his life...
for the worse I'm sure.

He does add value besides the entertainment. I value his opinions on just
about anything. I don't always agree. He can save someone a lot of money and
headache. I'm following his advice on cameras and buying a Nikon. He can be
very helpful.


In the past, I certainly did my bit of name-calling, etc. People change,
and I decided quite a while ago not to engage in that, since mostly the
people are not worth the candle. I hope I've changed for the better.
Clearly, some people either can't or won't change. The former have mental
problems and need help. There are a couple of people like that... no need
to name names. The latter are just stuborn, and I like them a lot better.
:-)


You did change for the better by practicing amazing restraint. Just don't
show you get irritated and they will leave you alone. You have the potential
to some excellent trolling if you desire. You could even be trolling now by
pretending they get to you, who knows?

How did this weekend go? Did you see the Blue Angels?
