Taddy,
Perhaps you will take pity on his tormented soul, actualizing Bunyimpotent's
greatest fantasy, while gaining a major allegorical device for your opera.
When you're famous, his name will live on with all the other greats in his
stratum: Moby Dick, Pilgrim's Progress, The Scarlet Letter, and now Bertie
the Bunyimpotent!

Sorry to disagree Mike, but it was pretty obvious from the first
day that bunny**** showed up that this was the case.

These guys are just a cancerous growth on usenet. They're really
a bunch of low-life teenagers (at least mentally) who have nothing
better to do with their pathetic lives. They're too chicken to actually
use their real names, and they hide behind bs ISPs that don't have
a semblence of morals or ethics. They, like their lamer users, are
just a bunch of cowards and assholes. They claim that they allow
large cross-posting policies to ensure "free speech," when in fact
all they do is enable the opposite to occur.

Fortunately, it's possible to filter them out if you know what's going
on and you have a modicum of ability. Unfortunately, new people to
the group won't know this, and this will probably mean that this ng
will become less and less an interesting an informative (or at least a
somewhat friendly) place to relax among aquaintences.

The only way to deal with them is to ignore them completely in the
newsgroup. Eventually, they'll get bored with the lack of or little
response, and they'll move on to greener pastures. If you feel you
absolutely must respond, send email to their respective abuse
departments. What will probably happen is that they'll either
ignore you or forward your email to the "victim" you're reporting.
The former doesn't do anything, but the latter could have an
effect if enough people complain, since the "victim" will start to
get a lot of email.. it's likely that they'll just delete it, but perhaps
this is a good use of "spam."

I used to think was to rid the internet, or at least usenet, of idiots who
messed up newsgroups. I actually thought he was pretty good at it, and
kinda cheered him on. I thought of him like a crusader bunyip. Lately he
seems like he may have a more sinister agenda? Did you guys **** him off?
Pardon me, I've been gone for a week or so bringing my "new" boat home
from
Ensenada, stopping off for a night in Avalon to marry my darling Lady
Sailor.
Will post again about the interesting passage, but the boat and wife are
safely home now.

No. I think it's just alt.sailing.asa's turn to have digital colon
cancer. Either a surgeon(s) will show up with some big scalpels, or
alt.sailing.asa will just puke it's guts out and die.

Calling Doctor Warren.... Calling Doctor Warren.....

you may very well be right.


He might. It's seldom pretty but it often works.

Mike,
Yes, we have ****ed off Bunyimpotent and the various, dyslexic
Bunyippies. We sail, and when you consider all that that implies, they
are angry. they can't manage it, can't "get it up" so to speak.

Thanks for the clarification, Scout. I've been too busy lately to pay
much attention to my computer, and just remembered Bertie running
Jaxass off the group way back when- a service I was very grateful for.
Then I check in here and find a volume of off topic posts (well,
x-posts) that boggles the mind. I figured it must be a war of some
kind.

War?

Nope.

prepubertal minds knowing they're missing something, their
fingers desperately typing crudities both of language and
invention, barren of both invective and content. They hammer
away at their long-suffering keyboards, seeking to validate their
existence somehow, even if only in the nanosecond between the
appearance of their posts and the contemptuous silences which
follow them. They spawn more and more socks which only
demonstrate their hopelessness as puppeteers. Indeed, it could

You know what I do when I see "whatever you call'ems" like bunyip? I
use Internet Explorer and I click on their message, on my top toolbar
I click Message, and then I click "Block Sender". It even asks if I
want to remove the idiot's messages already downloaded. Now I don't
even see bertie's garbage.

good for you.
