Moratorium
 

Why is it so difficult to resist turning this group into a cacophony of
babbling? It is hard to get more than a small handful in a conversation
that help many of us learn, but one idiot posts some garbage and gets a
dozen replies.

I know people have talked about how they successfully ignored the idiot
and shooed him away. Why can't we do that in this group too? Just
resist responding to him no matter what he says. Then if anyone does
respond to the idiot, consider those posts to be from idiots too and
ignore them as well.

It is pretty quiet around here without the village idiot, but that is
better than his ravings.

It is better to say ntohing at all than to let rip with such an outburst
which
only serves to turn the NG into that which you seemed to want to criticise.

Shame on you.

=================================================

The people who incite the babbling are easily as bad as the babblers.

I used to check this NG nearly every day. I'm down to a quick look once a
week because it's gone to ****.

In URA we just all just agreed not to respond to his posts and it all
went quiet. Occasionally people slipped and were reminded by the group.
Unfortunately it did seem to push him into other NGs..... sorry about
that chaps.

The thing is, in the past I have found him helpful and informative but
of late it is all abuse, faux indignation and starting threads with
innocent inquiries as titles and then turning them into arguements.
He saw me as the instigator of 'Project Shun' and so completely ignores
me now so I will just have to live without the nasty personal abuse
which he keeps denying but it is all archived.

He is on a roll this morning. I sure wish we could do a project shun in
all the groups he posts to. But there are a number of posters who seem
to live for arguing with him. I have to admit his BS is so bad
sometimes I respond to him even when I know I shouldn't.

So why don't we do a "project shun"?

The Project Shun we ran in ukra was a great success, he spent a short time
in full-blown hysterics over being ignored before buggering off. Sadly, for
you guys, he buggered off to rra.* in search of fresh meat. But yes, I
think a new Project Shun is in order, it's time we drove this mentally
defective clown out of groups where us good and decent folk are.

Getting rid of your own personal remarks would be a good start.

I don't know about the "good and decent folk" part, but yes, I'm ready
for project shun. Maybe it would be easiest if I just quit this group?

That would be a shame, as then Gareth would have achieved what he wanted
and what he set out to do in fouling yet another newsgroup.
