Pinging group: storm clouds developing
This NG, along with wallpaper and wallpaper.duplicats, is certainly one
of the friendliest of any on Usenet. Lots of excellent content, universal approval, almost no trolls, zero flames, and plenty of friendly people. I have particularly enjoyed sharing my car pictures with the group and taking in content I am interest in as well as meeting new people. But, sadly, I see trouble coming. I don't know if what I'm seeing is some sort of advance guard action before a pending invasion, some sort of testing the waters effort, or just benign activies. But, I fear that the beginning of the end is near for this idyllic setting. Accordingly, I have decided to suspend posting any more of my own car and non-car picture collection and all posting of my Usenet downloads until I am able to discern the true intent of the unusual people I'm seeing here and their unkind comments. If what I fear comes to pass, strap yourselves in for a continuing and accelerating amount of racism, bigotry, perversion, and hatred. You won't be able to discern why it is happening, but it will, and it will destroy this NG like it has so many others. This is all I intend to say on this subject. I will be interested in any comments that are made and very interested in what unfolds over the next few weeks. To all my new friends, I wish it could be otherwise but I fear for the worst. Good luck, and make your own decision as to what to do or not do based on my comments and what you have personally seen so far or what you may see in the future. Thank you and have a great week! -- HP, aka Jerry "You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a ****!" |

However, it does not surprise me and even baffles me when not more leave. I think the problem lies in the lack of respect for others, the thought that every one owes them something of the instant gratification generation. They have a rude awakening coming.

Are you sure you have the right group here Jerry?
Or have I missed something the past few Days? I hope you are talking about some other group! Good luck dealing with these fools. Paul |

You will be missed. Ray, I once knew a guy at work at Chrysler that used to say "the world is largely composed of assholes!". Yep, true enough, I suppose. The Usenet equivalent is the ever-present trolls. It is remotely possible that what I've flushed out earlier in "wallpaper" all too easily will come here but will eventually die down or hopefully even go away. If it does, I'll come back. However, my collection of postable ships isn't really all that large beyond those I've already posted. Meanwhile, I will certainly still be around and just as friendly as always - to the folks who've been ultra-friendly to me since Day One. Have a pleasant week. -- HP, aka Jerry "You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a ****!" |

I'm sure you've seen the sad, sad proof of my worst nightmare over in a.b.p.wallpaper, I'm sure it will eventually spread to here and duplicates as well. I'd suggest that we all just stay calm, don't do anything dumb ourselves, and simply batten down the hatches until the typhoon blows itself out. Have a nice week! -- HP, aka Jerry "You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a ****!" |

Are you sure you have the right group here Jerry? Or have I missed something the past few Days? I hope you are talking about some other group! Good luck dealing with these fools. Paul, I intended to post a customized version of my novellete to this NG, a.b.p.wallpaper and a.b.p.wallpaper.duplicates but I managed to post the duplicates one twice incorrectly. Yes, I'm afraid I DID mean this NG as well as the other two. I hadn't specifically seen anything here that raised my attennae as I did in duplicates but if the bad apples are out there, they'll eventually get into this barrel as well. Let's just all stay cool and maybe it'll blow over before anything gets started. The main reason I posted my message today is because I made a number of new friends here and downloaded some terrific ship pictures I never was aware of prior to meeting Bouler in wallpaper and I did NOT want to be the cause of and rancor or discord here. It is exactly what I said, a VERY friendly place which I do not want to mess up, so I thought my best course of action would be to stand down and just listen rather than to actively ping my sonar. -- HP, aka Jerry "You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a ****!" |
