Default This group should have an OT policy

Once upon a time in a magickal land far far away the being called
stirred from its deep slumber and pronounced to usenet:

you can blame your resident netKKKop jonathan ganz for the disruption in
which I was involved.
instead of doing the sensible thing and simply ignoring trolls, ganz took
it upon himself to write numerous unfounded complaints to NSP abuse
departments, which is a guaranteed usenet recipe for the attention of the
meowers.

hopefully as a group you will learn by his mistakes and ostracize that
****wit.

Why be difficult? Put some effort in and be impossible.

"Oh, and by the by ... although it is not my particular responsibility
to do so, I do nevertheless apologize for Mr. Leyland, who seems
convinced that anyone who might pass by this doorway to our little
gallery is a child rapist. In a sense, he is much like the ratty
kitty he claims to be in his interminable signature line ... he
wanders about and stops occassionally at the stoop here to spray and
defecate, then moves on and is gone for a few days or so ... no doubt
spraying, defecating and retching up hairballs elsewhere ... then
returns to mark his "territory" again. I realise he is little more
than a malodorous nusiance, but a nuisance nevertheless."

"Warning to all:
Steve Leyland is a trolling **** of the highest order. Killfile the
muppet now and move on. Even the briefest of searches on his past
UseNet posts will reveal the truth. You have been warned. *plonk*"

"I didn't delete any part of your meaningless, pointless, worthless
post in order to clearly demonstrate that you are the nemesis of
Usenet: the crossposting, non-editing, diagram-creating worthless,
dickless, brainless, gutless, mindless, ball-less, spineless, flaccid,
obese, fish-belly pale, ugly, VD-ridden, moronic, bald, hunch-backed,
flat-footed, odoriferous, obnoxious, fecal-smelling, buck-toothed,
physically handicapped, fungus-infected, HIV positive, mud-packing,
masturbating, whining, simpering, self-important, arrogant, egomaniacal
POS that takes up more bandwidth than a despicable binary-poster, and
for no apparent reason beyond seeing his own defecatory vomitus
slithering down the screen in vile green rivulets."

"I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires."

William Blake.
