Concerning the current net.weenie, I found this quote from EFF's Guide to the Internet (formerly The Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet):

"...these are the annoying types who take a special thrill in trying to make you miserable. The best advice in dealing with them is to count to 10 and then ignore them -- like juveniles everywhere, most of their fun comes in seeing how upset you can get."

Stay calm. We're here to have fun, right?

Well, I tend to like replying to them until they've exhausted all their "F*** you"'s and what have you. They go away once they see that they can't succeed in upsetting you in the least.

RH>Stay calm. We're here to have fun, right?

That's my policy.

That's what gets them in the end. I kinda feel like I am back to calling local BBSs around here. It's amazing that these people are all over the place. Sometimes you figure that you can find a place where they don't exist, but to no avail.
