The Trolls are squeezing the good posters out of here. Too many people are feeding them, especially encouraging Boner...I mean Bernie.
I am bailing. This is crap.
I kinda hoped I could hang here until the end of the season and "Is It College Yet?" but this is getting ridiculous.
The current threads here make the MTV Daria message board seem like a paragon of intellectualism.
Goodbye.

So start some threads of your own, that only deal with what *you* want to deal with. That's how a newsgroup works.
You have lots of friends here. I have probably not got any. Yet I'm staying and you're going? Where's the sense in that?

I'm not making new rules. Just reminding you that an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup is free to everyone, not just to the people who happen to inhabit it first. In other words; I don't have to conform to your rules, either.
If you think I've 'tarnished' your newsgroup, then read my very first sentence, above: Start some threads of your own. Talk about what YOU want to talk about.
One thing you shouldn't do, little girl; is throw a hissy-fit. Grow the hell up. I reached out; you spit in my eye. You aren't the Kween, I'm not your Subject. Either deal with my presence or go ahead and leave.

Look, no one likes you and you're not welcome here anymore.
I didn't say that either. And, whoever you are, you made a mistake in your copy, too, nyah :P

What does that have to do with anything. He still loves me and you don't. I think the trooth is a secure defense in this case.
I think I've made my first friend.

I really should stop replying to ancient messages.

Do you have any idea how pathetic this sort of whining makes you sound? Probably not, because research shows that people who are incompetent lack the understanding to realize they are incompetent.

Tell me again, how you can tell that a Black person is lying when he/she complains he/she has been discriminated against? That's quite an interesting personal skill to have developed. I think it's time for you to share your wisdom with the rest of us.

Michelle is one of the few people who has posted to this group in the past that I respect enough to apologize to, just on general grounds. I believe I still have the right to stand up for myself nonetheless.
If this post is from Michelle, then I regret her dismay, but do not apologize for whatever opinions I've expressed here. If this post is not from Michelle, then they got me. I believe I'll live. Such is Usenet.

Since when was it your newsgroup. This happens in a public environment.

Something about this post is screwed up, or quoted out of context.
This newsgroup is NOT mine. It also is not anybody else's. I was responding to the MsGeek post, where she claimed that in fact, this newsgroup really was hers. I also expressed my desire for her to stay, and invited her to start some new threads of her own, if she wanted to change the mix of topics here.
Now it turns out that I could have been Bernied, or maybe not. Such is life.

Quite possibly. See my post on the subject elsewhere on this group.

I'm not sure if you have already done this, but remember to complain to the Supernews admins:
X-Complaints-To: [email]
--- EXCERPT FROM AUTORESPONDER ---
Reports of forgery or impersonation should be mailed from the address being forged/impersonated, or other information substantiating that you are the "rightful user" of the name or domain should be provided. Forgery and impersonation must be easily seen - simple use of a regular's non-unique given name when "signing-off" (without the use of their signature, address, last name, etc, or near matches) is hard to establish as forgery or impersonation unless they in some way directly claim to be the other person. We will gladly block forged addresses and improper use of someone else's domain, but we need to hear from the owner of the address/domain, and have that "ownership" validated in some manner (by exchanging mail or a 'whois').
--- END OF EXCERPT ---
Send them an e-mail where you clearly state that you are *not* happy with the fact that one of their customers is portraying as you and tell that you would like your e-mail address to be added to their list of From addresses not allowed to their customers. Remember to include the full message source together with the headers.
Dear MsGeek,
Please don't leave. If the good posters leave, there'll be no one to talk to, and I love this group :)
I'm sorry :) I was just frustrated earlier. I like you too :) You're so cute and cuddly!
Dear MsGeek,
<blushes> :)

I'll second that, if nobody else has. I know I haven't been here long, but compared with some groups I inhabit, this really does seem to be a good one. :)

Beavis:Boooonnnnerrrr !
Anyway said troll prolly don't have the equipment to get a boner ! (And I don't mean that they are female either).
Wuss :)
Alas this is a direct consiquence of the free speech that we all hold so dear, the dumbasses of the world are free to speak too.
Seriously though leaving the group is what "it" wants, it's trying to destroy us you're in a way letting it win.
Phill.trying to be encoraging to you MsGeek.

NOTE: I am not only replying to Michelle, but everyone else as well.
Personally, I am sick and tired of both sides trying to claim ownership of the board (And don't say you're not. Anyone that says that so-and-so does not belong here is indeed claiming ownership), and it makes me want to puke.
Both sides are fatally flawed
On one hand, you've got the trolls that infest the board, spreading filth and decay (I'm not saying who is, for I don't know EVERYONE here). The little maggots that have no life at all where they feel their only form of satisfaction is to disrupt the balance of Agree-to-Disagree, to simply "You suck, therefore you don't belong here!". If this was a few years ago, Bernie/Boner really would have pissed me off. I even bombed his PC a few times back then. Now, he's just an irrelevant little child that simply doesn't know any better and isn't worth my full-attention.
On the other hand, there are the people that have the good intentions in mind, but they're going too far, and thus making them no better than the trolls themselves. Michelle, I respect your ...... whatever the hell it is you do, but as far as I'm concerned, you're no better than the trolls because you like to believe that just because "you know Glenn Eichler", that everyone must kiss your ass and sing your praises whenever you speak about something that, quite frankly, is completely irrelevant (Just as irrelevant, you tell everyone that Glenn was bawling his eyes out after people start critiquing "Fizz Ed", and suddenly everyone LIKES the episode?). You can leave ATD if you want, but don't say it's because of the trolls, that's just retarded. You chose to not ignore them, and that flaws your little goodbye speech. I am not the center of everyone's universe. But guess what? Neither are you.
This place would be a lot better if the trolls and egomaniacs took one look at themselves, and let the rest of civilization enjoy this place. I wish no ill-will of either side, but it would be nice if there was some peace and quiet over here.

P.S.: I hang a bullseye sign on my forehead, go ahead and shoot. I really don't give a **** anymore.
"The Outsider" wrote in message news:...
I totally agree with your post. Besides, you have to take everything around you with a grain of salt. Viewed from a certain angle, trolls can even be funny. And yes, Fizz Ed did suck big time. Who the hell cares about the way Glenn Eichler feels about that, anyway?
