The truth is that some idiots who can't control themselves and are so
arrogant that they feel that they can do what they damn well please wherever
and whenever they want to attempt to further some dubious objective are so
seriously polluting the newsgroup that the rewards of attempting to read it
are approaching zero.

It used to just be harry and skipper, and a few entries to the kill file
alleviated that. Now it is a whole flock of idiots who have no self control
or sense of responsibility. It's like spam, no matter how one filters the
garbage swamps one.

Is there some reason that the rest of us have to be subjected to this crap?
Why don't you off topic posers take your stuff to DU or FR or talk.politics
or alt.flame or anywhere but here?

Agreed.

I think you have succinctly articulated the attitude of many here--although I'm
guessing many of them have simply given up and gone away.

Ah! Because they'd feel they had to concede defeat somehow--who's going to
"drop his weapon" first? Alternatively, they're afraid of losing their
audience.
