Jack,
You will never convince Bassy of anything, he is cluttering up this
NG with crap, *trolling for fights*. It is time to ignore his posts
and hope he disappears. The NG has gotten much better, but Bass is
*doing his best to screw it up*.


Yet here you are doing exactly what you accuse Basskisser of doing.
eg: *trolling for fights*
*doing his best to screw it up*.


And you're here trying to start a fight with Reggie.

What exactly is it you're trolling for, Don?

Don has been upset ever since Chuck tried to eliminate the cut and paste
inflammatory post. *In Don't mind*, anyone who discourages the cut and
paste the corresponding flame fest is ruining the part of the NG Don likes.


I can't speak for this *Don't* person you are referring to but I don't
usually read or care about 'cut & paste' posts.
I just like correcting people who preach one thing and then go ahead in
the next post and do just what they condemn others for.
To make matters worse, they 'll ignore the half dozen clowns who
continually bait one individual but will attack that same person when he
responds.

I just want posters to be truthful....
If you want the newsgroup to be quieter and more civil..lead by example.
If not...carry on!


Donny,

You really need to do a review...

Read your posts. How many would make this newsgroup "quieter and more
civil"? Compare that to the number that are trolls and flames. Get it now?

Can you show where six people "continually bait" one person? That "one
individual" is the newsgroup troll. He lives for confrontation and you
are the boy's puppy who is there to follow him and nip at the heels of
anyone who responds with, often, goofy responses that only you and the
boy might find funny. How does your behavior make matters better, Don?

Heh...

You must not understand how to use your mouse.

You click on the name of the thread displayed.

Every one was an attempted troll by you.

Priceless.

I shine the light of day into the dark corners and under the rocks.
Does that bother your eyes?

All 'I get' is that your efforts here are a complete waste of time...
and worse, because you enjoy agitating a poster that you know will
respond back to your trolls.
If you want to improve the newsgroup... leave. The noise portion will be
reduced by about 20%

Dan, you've over stayed you welcome. Lead by example and give it up.

Don,
When someone cuts and paste a newspaper article, they have one purpose.
What I suggested is to ignore those people.


I posted the article to be informative. I know that a lot of people
here choose to ignore information.
