You're just trying to start an argument now. Bertie Why, because is disagreed with you? Whoosh. (Insert lame IKYABWAI lame here, Maxie) Bertie |

: "Dudley Henriques" wrote in message ... All can be said to be true at any given moment in time. The bottom line on Usenet as I see it anyway, is in how the individual sees his/her own interaction with the venue. When it's all said and done, it will be only this interpretation that defines the Usenet experience for a specific user. I agree that it's confusing, and difficult to define; hence this exchange as an example. The main thing is that individuals be allowed to express opinion without attack, but as I'm sure each of us is aware, difficult to achieve on a consistent basis. Anyone posting to Usenet for any length of time will eventually be attacked and most likely assume an online posture more aggressive than that experienced in everyday life. The exact placing of the blame for this phenomenon remains for me anyway, extremely difficult to define clearly and to an exact answer. -- Dudley Henriques Geez, what a crock. Geez what a ****.

: Maxwell wrote: Very well said Jim. I often disagree with you, but today is not one of those times. It amazes me how many otherwise sensible people, continue to enable not only Mx, but Bertie as well, by supplying them with STRAIGHT answers. They are literally feeding the trolls. It causes me to seriously consider the agenda of anyone that does so. I agree with you on Bertie, but not MX. I honestly think MX posts here because he genuinely wants to learn about piloting. All his threads starts on a reasonable tone. Its other people who turn it into a ****fest, which he then responds to. His "trolling", I feel, is mainly caused by his frustration of the fact that people judge his opinions solely on who he is, rather than what he posts. If people treated his opinions like they would anybody else, he'd stop being so blatantly obtuse. It's like punishing a dog when it does something bad, as well as punishing it when it does something good. After a while, the punishment loses all meaning. People here think that by being rude to him everytime he makes a post is going to drive him away, but all it's doing is making him more and more bitter and dismissive of people's criticism. Bertie, on the other hand, reminds me of this kid I knew in middle school whose acting up in class was largely caused by all the other kids in the class' giggling at his antics. As long as people keep namedropping Bertie him in their more serious threads and showing sycophantic feelings towards him, his trolling "personality" will continue to be positively reinforced and it'll never stop.` mmm, yes and no, while attention is always nice, it's not central to what I do or why I do it. I kinda thought that would be a bit more obvious. Bertie's trolling is caused by something completely different that what causes MX to troll, so they need to be dealt with differently. And good luck with that, you'll be the first. Bertie |

: "Morgans" wrote in : This is not aimed at Dan, but instead, everyone that has put up a response to the lame thread about pilot's watches, started by MX. Don't you all have a life? It is bad enough that people reply to MX butt-lick on real topics, but to respond to the most often posted, lamest thread, (since the dreaded down wind turn).... I simply have no words to express my disgust. Are you all that lonely? What am I missing? There are some people that I respect, or used to, that are included in this thread. COME ON, PEOPLE ! ! ! WAKE UP ! ! ! That sucking sound is the life being drained from this group. RESIST THE URGE TO PARTICIPATE in ANY thread that has his participation. I'm With Jay. I'm outta here. It has been a nice ride; too bad a butt-lick ex-american, in paris, has the ability to destroy a great forum. Wake up. I won't be the last to leave, I'm sure. Last one out, turn out the lights. Sigh. It's fun to kick MXSmoron around. Voila, it's been said. Bertie |

: Bertie the Bunyip wrote: mmm, yes and no, while attention is always nice, it's not central to what I do or why I do it. I kinda thought that would be a bit more obvious. Then why DO you do it? How exactly do you get satisfaction out of making 100 pointless oneliners every day to many people who don't even reply back? I have not seen MX, Jay Honeck, or many others reply to a single one of your "trolls" (or whatever you prefer to call them), yet you still persist. Can't you just think of these witty things to say, but instead of posting them, keep them to yourself? Will you at least agree than by posting all the time, you're genuinely decreasing the quality of this group as a whole? Is that what motivates you? Knowing you're making it hard for others to enjoy this group? Or is it because you think by "ribbing" the undesirable people, you active as a voice that speaks on the behalf of the rest of the group? I'm honestly curious. Well, as you can see I post just like anyone else most of the time. But when a target of oppotunity arises, well, it's just too hard to resist. Entetaining and educational. As to the rest, I did tell anyone who was interested to killfile me from the start..... Bertie |

He delights in holding a magnifying glass to the ants and watch them scurry as it gets hotter. That's all and he'll not change. my 2c Cheers |
