got both already.



you know what Bertie:
I do not belive you.
If you had either you would not be sitting at you computer night
after night doing this.
You are a ******.
The fact that you think others here are also nasty or reprehensible
or bad in any way does not alter the above fact.
You are a sad ****** looking for attention! By doing what you do,
you make Nik look like a mature sensible hero.

Another terrible, fear-inspiring exchange by Bertie.

Fear inspiring?

You come here to be frightened?

I stand corrected. You are entirely correct.

We want to help you Bertie. There is a whole world out there. New
sweets to taste; new books to read; nice girls to talk to; you could
learn to play a musical instrument; you could go on long walks in the
countryside; look at Unki. I knew him when he was a gurrier from
Ballymun. Now look at him; it is White Wine Sauce this, public
transport initiatives that. You could learn a lot from him Bertie. As
it is you are wasting away.


Mebbe.

That reminds me, after nearly 20 years of fiddling about with it,
I've finally decided to learn how to play bass properly and shed
all those acquired bad habits. Maybe I sound like a masochist,
but the missus says if I practice enough I can have a shiny new
bass guitar.

I have done the same except with jazz guitar. The snag is, I only
practice

about 10 minutes a day and I am getting old and I do not have a great
ear. Sadly, jazzguitar is designed to sound effortless but look
fiendishly hard. It is only when you try to play it that it turns out
to be even harder than it looks.
Anyway, my missu ssays I can have a nice shiny jazz guitar if I get
any good. I am aiming to buy the guitar in about 10 years from now.


I could make you one for about 2 grand.

Bennedetto pattern.


You're going to need to put in at least an hour a day just to stay even,
BTW. 10 minutes a day?

Bwahwhahwhahwhahhwhahwhahwhhahwhahwhahhwhahwhahwhh ahwhah!

You'd like my "Travis B" Kramer. With the split machine head and solid
aluminium neck with hardwood body. Its the heaviest Bass I've ever
held but the sustain...



What a jerkoff.

This is in response to a response to a troll with the
handle Bertie. In many cases he has chosen several
newsgroups to crosspost this thread to.

Please don't feed the trolls. It only feeds their
sick little egos and pollutes the newsgroups further.

Also, be kind to the mentally ill. Don't get into
battles with them. Bertie isn't just a regular troll,
he's spent years attacking alt.religion.asatru
hurling personal insults and false accusations. He
has done so using several accounts, too. Here's one.
A glance at the number of postings shows that he is
obsessive and paraniod:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...:A%40a.aaaaaa+

Note that he crossposts to get as many people
involved as possible, another indication of mental
illness. To show his level of obssession, glance at
the sheer number of troll postings he has done on
news:alt.religion.asatru (ARA):

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...eligion.asatru

That search will take you back as far as 2001, and it
will show many accounts he posts from, accounts that
he uses to have conversations with himself, and so on.
He has been trolling ARA since 1999. The man needs pity
and medical help.

One of his maccabre twists is that he accuses folks on
ARA of being Nazis. There was a heathen revival in
Germany and Austria in the 1920s and 10930s. Those
people were among the first targets the real Nazis sent
to their deaths in the concentration camps. The Jews
were targetted when Germany and Austria ran out of
heathens. Asatru and Nazism are polar opposites much
like Judaism and Nazism because of this. Most of the
documentation I've read about the pre-WWII Asatru
revival has been in print, so I welcome web references
the the writings of those who were killed in the camps.
The Asatru Alliance's quarterly Vor Tru ran a series on
them for several years.

What is Asatru really about, then? I follow the old
gods and goddesses known in northern Europe in the times
before Christianity came through. Thor and Sif, Odin
and Frigga, Ull and Skadhi and so on. Their adventures
are recorded in the myths of the Norse, Saxons, Goths
and so on across the sprectrum of Germanic peoples.

Like any religion, Asatru teaches a moral code. It has
lessons that lead a person to be a better person. It
has Lore that was passed down from generation to
generation until it contains lessons of everyday life.

Dirk Buerre posts a large list of links to various
Asatru resources. To give a quick idea of what Asatru
is and who Asatruar, I offer a few of the ones I
recommend to newcomers. I'm in the US so I'm most
interested in US resources, especially ones that span
borders:

http://www.thetroth.org/ *The Troth
http://www.friggasweb.org *Frigga's web
http://www.irminsul.org/ *Irminsul Aettir
http://alliance.eagleut.com/ *Asatru Alliance

The starting point for read are the Poetic Edda and
the Prose Edda which are the best preserved Norse
myths, and Saxo Grammaticus which contains mainland
European versions of the old tales:
