Ah, but I've plonked him, so all I see are the replies to his crapola. I
don't care what he calls me. Never have, never will. Why do you think
otherwise? Bob is a pathetic guy, who is desperate for attention and
deserving of our sympathy. Since you feel the need to respond to him, you're
one who's feeding his psychosis. You might want to rethink it.

Pool of sharks?? Now that's funny. This is Usenet. I couldn't care less what
goes on here. I only care about things when they go beyond this fiction into
the real world. This has happened on occasion, unfortunately.

Bob isn't going away, even though I (certainly) mostly ignore him. I don't
care either way, actually. He's been here a long, long time. At one point,
he actually contributed in an interesting and useful way. This changed a few
years ago, so something must have changed dramatically in his life... for
the worse I'm sure.

In the past, I certainly did my bit of name-calling, etc. People change, and
I decided quite a while ago not to engage in that, since mostly the people
are not worth the candle. I hope I've changed for the better. Clearly, some
people either can't or won't change. The former have mental problems and
need help. There are a couple of people like that... no need to name names.
The latter are just stuborn, and I like them a lot better. :-)

But, he'll still be the same vile little troll.


The only reason his trolls work is because you let him get to you. If you
simply agree with whatever he says, you disarm him. Do you see anyone
calling me gay? No, because if they did I would offer them a big wet
smootchie and a good spanking with a big rubber paddle. They run when they
hear that. I can't be trolled about my boat because I don't have one. No
one will ridicule my 350lb wife who has incurable acne on her back and
hairy nipples (five of them!).
This place is like a pool of sharks. Once they sense weakness, you are
toast. So what if someone says you are gay. It's effortless to just agree
with them and move on. The people who know you in real life know you
aren't gay and they know you are a kind, caring person.
RB comes across as a big monstrous troll but he's really not. If you look
at all the dirt everyone has thrown on him, he has never really struck
back. Yes, he'll troll you and say a few bad things but if you ignore him
he'll go elsewhere. In that light, he is a very generous person. If you
really wanted to get him, go sailing with him. Wait until you are a few
miles offshore then go into the cabin, strip down to your speedos and slap
your buttcheeks real loud. Walk out to the cockpit with two jars of
Mayonaise (Hellman's - you're east of the Mississippi) and slap the cheeks
some more. Ask him if it's time now as you rub mayonaise all over yourself
while wearing swim goggles. It really works, gets them everytime. (You can
explain later that the mayonaise was to be used as Channel Grease).
