I hope that everyone makes a new year's resolution, like, "I will not
make ANY kind of response to mxmanic, at all, this year" OK Jim, you're on : ) I've tried the rational approach with that guy, (it failed miserably) so in the interest of raising the signal-to-noise ratio in this forum I'm officially mute.. I try to do the same; but every now-and-then, the Devil taps me on the shoulder and whispers: "Psst, hey, Pete, ... ". I'll try harder--that's one of my New Year's resolutions. |

Not a thing has made a difference, it seems. You've got to be kidding.

Yes. IOW, you tried being annoying to the rest of the group. Jose -- He who laughs, lasts. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Yes. IOW, you tried being annoying to the rest of the group. And you did what, to try to fix the problem? I suppose you don't think there is a problem. -- Jim in NC |

there is a problem. When there is a problem with posters I don't want to read, I put them on my ignore list, without posting about it. If there are threads I don't want to read, I do the same to the thread (this is most often the case with spam threads). "Author is...", "Subject contains..." "Subject starts with..." are useful filters, and I just have my newsreader mark them as read. I don't see them unless I want to go back and look. If everyone who felt that way silently did the same thing, there would be no problem. Instead people make more noise =about= the noise, than the noise itself. And, the truth is, not everyone feels the same way about any individual poster, and I for one am not compelled to =make= people feel the same way. It is true that when people respond to a poster on my ignore list in a thread that is not being ignored, I see the response. For some reason, that doesn't bother me. (I usually skip to the response, skipping the quoted text, since chances are good I have already read it or can infer its content). I sometimes find that responses to an ignored poster are in fact of interest to me, even if the original post is not. Sometimes people end up persecuted by a group, both in real life and on the net. I don't support such actions. It's mean, nasty, and since I don't want to be on one end of it, I won't contribute to the other end of it.

I'll add to my reply that, in the case of some posters who have been
abandoned as hopeless, I have not actually found them to be so. Jose -- He who laughs, lasts. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
