It does happen :-) But along come the insult throwers and all hell breaks
out. It's like the school playground when teacher goes behind the bike
shed for smoke.

The prefects used to confiscate our fags and smoke them themselves in the
Prefects Room. They even got First Formers to empty the ash trays.
A knock-on from the "fagging" days, perhaps?

Brian,

Actually, I do think they are attempts of technical threads, within his
limited capacity of understanding. But they quickly result in abusive
responses when his fallacies are pointed out.

His understanding is certainly limited, there is other evidence to
support
that, but as for attempts at
improving understanding, why does recycle the same topics again and
again?
Some have been around the block several times, even though they have been
explained. He makes no attempt to digest the responses he receives,
beyond
twisting highlights to further his barrage of abuse. Why is this obvious?
Well, he rubbishes perfectly valid answers and even, on occasions,
goes on
to rewrite history as if he has 'found a book' which explains things.

The question is, why?

Do a search for Westinghouse in the archive of uk.railway

I really think that Rick's advice is best, although I wouldn't go as far
as to "treat him as if he were the devil incarnate and refuse to even
look his way much less mention his name". He has, on the odd occasion,
some very valid points to make.

However, you have to be careful, as this is sometimes just a ploy
(conscious or otherwise) to draw you into what you think is a normal,
civilised discussion, and it rapidly turns out not to be. The important
thing is not prolong pointless arguments, otherwise you risk getting
tarred with the same brush.

Which is why I make a point of not replying to Evans.

OTOH, if others are involved, I'm happy to discuss the topics with then,
of course. Sadly, this results in abuse from Evans but we can't let him
'censor' by injecting abuse.

Never mind RSI, the acronym for the rest of that is TMI.

That's an initialism http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/initialism

An acronym is something like RADAR Radio Detection And Ranging, or

LOL!

Does anyone ever talk about amateur radio in these groups?


We try, but Evans and his chums usually jump in and ruin the thread.

There are moderated groups where he can't get up to his tricks.

You've seen his false attempts at technical threads, they are no more

Brian,

Actually, I do think they are attempts of technical threads, within his
limited capacity of understanding. But they quickly result in abusive
responses when his fallacies are pointed out.

So why do the rest of you have to act like children as well? Why not
just ignore him? I seem to recall that you have stated that you take
pleasure in jousting with him. Or do I have you mixed up with someone
else?

The bottom line is that by arguing with him endlessly it ruins the group
for everyone else every bit as much as he does, if not more. If it were
just him he would be easy to ignore. The topics he brings up could be
discussed without all the back and forth banter.

Just treat him as if he were the devil incarnate and refuse to even look
his way much less mention his name!



You have me mixed up with someone else.

But then why do YOU keep these threads going?

Maybe not directly, but where possible, I'd also try to refrain from
making unnecessary references to historical events - except maybe (for
example) when engaged in light-hearted banter and general humorous skit.
However, even this may be interpreted by some as being personal attacks.
Personally, I would suggest that all posters in this NG adopt a style
that would be likely to pass moderation in the forthcoming uk.r.a.m.

Are you saying that we should treat him as we would a loony on a bus?

*You* might think that, but *I* couldn't possibly comment.

That used to happened to me too so one day a friend and I picked up some
dog ends and rolled them in fags - nearly got thoroughly beaten up when
the prefect tried to smoke one!

Yes, that's right Gareth. That's how he's saying we should treat you.
