This is in response to a response to a troll with the

newsgroups to crosspost this thread to.


Snort!

Bertie

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...or:A%40a.aaaaa

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...=%22Bertie+the
+Bunyip%22&btnG=Google+Search&meta=group%3Dalt.rel igion.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:

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.


No thanks; I will buy a cheap one second hand. You see it is only a
hobby. It is something to do that stops me wasting my life away being
silly on usenet.


You're going to need to put in at least an hour a day just to stay
even,

BTW. 10 minutes a day?

You see, you miss the point. I am not trying to compete with John
McLaughlin


I don't miss the point.

you think John McLaughlin practices less than 6 hours a day?

or Pat Metheny. I just want some fun. An hour a day is probably too
much. I simply am not that interested. This will mean I will never
get anywhere.

Yes, actualy, it does.

It actually does not matter.

then you aren't a musician, period.


Still, in your case, maybe
it would do you a world of good. I still prefer the girlfriend option
for you but a musical instrument would probably help. Hmmm, it is a
bit introspective mind you.

Mebbe, But it's a bit late now.







Bwahwhahwhahwhahhwhahwhahwhhahwhahwhahhwhahwhahw hhahwhah!

Wow; you have such a ehhhhhhh unnatural laugh. Do you laugh much
in reality Bertie?


Yep.


It is good for you but it is better if it is a
warm happy laugh. These forced cynical laughs just make you bitter.

Forced?

Cynical?

Bertie has become what he hated most..... he started out hunting down
loonies and has become one. It's a sad tale of noble purpose corrupted by
blind ambition. His penance is his addiction to his task.....
