news:alpine.LNX.2.02.1410121350420.25582@darkstar. example.org... On Sun, 12 Oct 2014, Stephen Thomas Cole wrote: Hello .misc, .antenna and .homebrew! I've been watching with a degree of sadness these last few days as Gareth Alun Evans G4SDW has poured buckets of idiocy into .antenna. He's a notorious and pernicious troll with going on for a two decade history of troublemaking on Usenet, primarily in uk.radio.amateur but there have been many groups that he's upset over the years, all in the archives. Whatever he does in the UK newsgroup, we don't see it unless there is crossposting. He posts, and half the replies are about his trolling (which may or may not exist), and the only reason we see that junk is because he's crossposting. I have never trolled in 20 years of contributing to usenet. I am an original thinker and those who do not understand my opinions and take offence at them assume that they must be trolled. An example of this may be seen in rec.radio.amateur.antenna contemporaneously where after some musing, I thought that perhaps the varying behaviour of short and long antennae might in some way be as the result of a limitation of the transport medium, and I posited a thread on that subject, only to find that no-one understood what I was suggesting and most launched into replaying their mental tape recorders about what they thought they knew about short antennae, in many cases resorting to infantile outbursts. For many years, I have spoken about the decline in standards of amateur radio in the UK, especially as that represented by licences that are targetted at and obtained by 5-year-olds, and have criticised those the cadre of grown men who hold such licences targetted at the 5-year-old, but there has never been any intention on my part to insult anybody, for it is the licence class and the degeneration to which I am strongly opposed. In addition, I have spoken out strongly against the habitual gratuitous abuse by some people, of which STC is a main culprit. We were having a fine technical discussion in rec.radio.amateur.homebrew when you saw fit to cross-post this, and so instead of that technical discussion, suddenly the posts are about this. You've just made a mess of the newsgroup, the thing you claim to want to fix. STC does that to all the NG that he pollutes, and yes, you are correct in that he speaks out against his perceived cesspit in ura but he is the main generator of the abusive effluent that makes if a cesspit. So don't think that a moderated newsgroup will save the day. It hasn't. Especially as the other main contributor of effluent into ura is M3OSN who is already a moderator of the Yahoo group RSCBTech yet bizarrely posts to ura and to this NG with posts that simply would not pass moderation. |
