Local internet service providers may consider blocking an American from
taking part in online discussions following one of the worst cases of
"flaming" seen in this country.

A mysterious figure calling himself "Bertie the Bunyip" has upset local
Usenet newsgroups after a bizarre campaign that has included posting
fake photographs of a topless Queen Mother.

If someone burst into a cafe or pub and started yelling obscenities and
abusing everyone in sight, you might expect the manager to throw them
out or call the police.

But neither of these remedies is available to the newsgroup users, who
are desperate to rid themselves of what is known on the internet as a
"troll."

Trolls get their kicks from baiting other people using online discussion

forums.

"Bertie the Bunyip" is believed to be a commercial pilot living in the
United States.

He claims to have been similarly hounding newsgroups in the United
States for three years, despite complaints to the FBI and a libel action

against him.

After local users unwisely responded to his taunts, the Bunyip's replies

soon spread to the nz.comp and nz.politics newsgroups.

New Zealand politicians - including some ministers - are believed to use

the politics group.

In the past few days, the American has paralysed the most popular of the

local forums, nz.general, which is read by up to 50,000 people.

Bunyip's antics have prompted some users to stop using the newsgroups.

Bunyip changes his identity characteristics every 30 or 40 posts, so it
is difficult to check him using e-mail or newsreader software blocked
senders' lists.

David Farrar, a newsgroup user and information technology adviser to
National Party leader Jenny Shipley, described the "flame" war as the
worst outbreak of its kind he had seen on New Zealand discussion groups.

Applying sanctions against Usenet users could be extremely difficult,
said Mr Farrar.

Bunyip has been using a Seattle-based newsgroup service called Altopia,
which has a liberal policy on what it will allow.

"One of the problems of newsgroups is that they are about as close to
anarchy as anything can get," he said.

"If you get a person going rogue, as this Bertie the Bunyip has, you
would normally complain to their internet service provider.

"Unless it is causing actual harm, they don't see it as their job to
police it."

Xtra systems support specialist Richard Stevenson said he could easily
filter the messages from Xtra's news server - one of several providing
Usenet feeds in New Zealand.

But he would not decide to do so himself.

Mr Stevenson said he had not yet had to remove individual posts but had
occasionally, at the request of the Department of Internal Affairs,
blocked newsgroups that were related to child pornography.

He was not concerned about Bunyip's rights to freedom of speech.

"He's got to get it into his skull that [news servers] are private
property."

Mr Farrar believed that if Bunyip persisted for more than a couple of
weeks, local internet service providers might agree to remove him from
New Zealand servers.

But it was more likely that Bunyip would disappear quite quickly if
ignored.

Rubbish.

You are demonstrating your ignorance as to how the Internet and
especially news groups work.

Not a lot. The upshot of this was there was actually a komplaint made on
behalf of the New Zealand Gov't, to which the reply came "You're just like
the Queen mother's nasty, everone knows it's down under but nobody cares"

A strange character indeed, and the nz link is interesting, is he a
Kiwi perhaps? I had often wondered if Bertie might be an Aussie,
the bunyip being an Australian folkore character after all, and
theres not really much difference between a Kiwi and an Aussie
(apart from about 10 IQ points ,the inability to say the number six or
to play cricket and of course the great , lets call it rappour , they
have with their sheep ). No offence Kiwis, I am just seeing if I can
flush him out !

Good luck with that!

No, A kiwi wandered in here after some disaster or another and started
spouting off whilst crossposting back to his own group, a NZ one. NZ
general I think. Anyhow, the resulting ****ing contest combined with the
denizens of that group's total lack of intelligence led to a massacre that
even now, requires harmonica music in the background to retell.

No. I'm demonstrating the ignorance of NEWSPAPERS about how the Internet and
especially newsgroups work.

I know EXACTLY how they work myself.

However that wasn't the point of the post.

It was for background info on Bertie only.

He has actually pretty much stopped disrupting groups now though along
with his idiot 'meow' friends.

I never seriously tried. You yourself behaved in the groups I've
encountered you in except for one occasion when I sent a shot across your
bows.

Didn't do it again did you ? Nor have you forgotten it either !

Incidentally, even matey boy Chris Caputo of Altopia has changed his policy
to stop flooding now.

I just looked at google's "about this group" section, and Bertie, you
must get some kind of award. You are drawing more flak than MX, and
he's one of the most frequent posters to the newsgroup but you don't
seem to have cracked the top 10 in number of posts. I would say you
are getting more flames per post than anyone else. You're like the
Prius of posters, somehow extracting energy from those who are trying
to put breaks on you.


Kudos!

The Bunyip is no different than a virus-infested file -- if you don't open
it, it's invisible and harmless. Thanks to killfile(s), I haven't seen any
of his drivel in weeks, and it's simply wonderful.

Without his acidic personal attacks on everyone and everything, rec.piloting
is still chock-full of good aviation stuff.

No, I distinctly recall seeing the two of you chatting up a drag queen
in Vegas back in '87. He wasn't looking very healthy by then.

How about starting an "alt.bunyip.bertie.the" group since so many
people (especially from new zealand) seem obsessed with his opinions
and flame activities?

I mean, sheet, haven't you ever been called a "fjukkwit" before?

Truly.

But you can propogate any newsgroup you like, particularly in the
alt.heirarchy. I didn't do the AFBTB group, but a friend set it up as quick
