It's less likely to suppress it than it is to discourage it.

We're loaded with OT posts. But there's a difference between using the
group as a sort of "myspace" with stuff like: "OT, My kids spent $6000
on me for Christmas so neener, neener" (especially when posted by a
regular) and OT stuff that is only brought here to start political
fist fights or foster divisive prejudices.

I missed this the first time around because I generally ignore Chuckie
Dots.

And perhaps I should ignore this one too, but I can't.

Chuck's whole purpose here is to control - he wants to be the final
arbiter of what is acceptable and what isn't. And what he can't
attempt to control, he denigrates.

And for the record Chuck, that camera was for a lifetime of adopting,
giving and parenting troubled kids and giving them a chance to make
something of themselves. They gave Mrs. Wave something that she has
long wanted also. It was touching and important to me and Mrs. Wave
and that you believe it was a simple statement of superiority shows
exactly how shallow and jealous you are deeming everything that
doesn't meet your criteria of acceptable relevance. That was more
about them, but in your limited world

I'm proud of my kids, successful professionals every one, who started
off with nothing, literally, and become highly skilled engineers,
doctors and cops. That they gave Mrs. Wave and myself something to
recognize our sacrifices to help them should be something that you
should be able to recognize because I've made no secret of how my
family was structured over the years.

Unfortunately, you are stuck in the tedium of mandating Usenet
behavior and attempting to impose your brand of civility on the rest
of us.

And quite frankly, I've had enough of you and several others in this
little corner of the Usenetverse and destroying perfectly good threads
for no other reason that you can.

So, to put paid to this, shove it where the sun don't shine.

I don't need this - I'm Ota here.

Well said....
