Maybe you should, that would be a trip if you

There's plenty out there that would give a 7700 a run for its money

Indeed, but it's not a 7700.:-)

I am sure that won't be a problem, all you have to

is merely a "playground", a place they can be big brave bullies".
They're real heroes, these trolls, with destruction the only game.

Krypsis, I know how you feel about them, "some"
of it IMO you may have brought a little on yourself,
I'm not saying all of it...but maybe a tad.

I'm not saying your a bad guy either. But Larb/Fred
and the guys have always treated me with respect.

IMO - Kramer is unlike *ANYTHING* I have ever
read in usenet, a true physological study, he holds
me almost spellbound in a weird way when I read
his posts.

All Fred / Larb and the boys did, was bring out the
fact that he is one of the most (IMO) incredible
"story tellers".....and by that - I mean a truly disturbed
individual who for whatever reason...just isn't happy
enough with his life ....which I don't understand myself because he
lives or had lived in some of the worlds most exotic locations. But
for some reason
that only Kramer himself can explain - - it apparently
just isn't enough.

The part Krypsis I don't understand, is why in the world would you
"stand up" so too speak for someone like that? You may not like the
way the
guys are unrelenting, but that is exactly what it takes
for someone like him.

I can be usenet friends with you and also with Larb
and the guys. Just remember, this group is about
shortwave radio and the entire spectrum and anything that goes along
with it, not bullcrap. It gets

Did you ensure that the posts you read were written by Kramer? I seem to
recall the trolls were rather prone to faking posts by all and sundry
back then.

****** Show us just one Krypto.
You can't of course because they were all genuine posts by your nutter
mate, however the challenge is there.
Prove me wrong.

One could rarely be sure who wrote what post. Many
subscribers left s.c.t about this time, and for this reason, never to
return. All that remains of s.c.t's former glory are a couple of
diehards. Certainly there remains minimal discussion that could even be
remotely considered on-topic.


*****Certainly not your whinging and whining.


I particularly recall one poster, name of Sandy, who lived in Bangkok.
He always posted on-topic stuff, typically about daily life there, and
was never rude to anyone. Nor did he boast about his life in Bangkok.
The mere fact that he was able to live quite happily in Bangkok was
anathema to these trolls so they started hounding him.

******Again total bull****. Show us any posts where we hounded Sandy.
Ooooops looks like egg on your face again old man.




I've never worked


*****The only truth you've ever told.

out their justification for this and can only assume jealousy. Anyway,
they soon began faking his posts and that must have been the last straw
for him as he ceased to post not long after. If you had been reading his
posts, it was easy to tell which were the faked posts as they were so
totally out of character. This was the case for 3 or 4 previous on-topic
posters as well.


***** Once again supply the evidence.

Bring out the fact? They "created" the fact... Whatever was posted by
Kramer was distorted to hell by the trolls. Remember, if you repeat a
lie often enough, it gains a "status" that can be easily mistaken for
credibility.


******** Ahhhhh So that's your tactic eh Krypto?

enough with his life ....which I don't understand myself because he

I would have said the trolls were the ones who were disturbed and not
happy with their lives. They show this disturbance with every post.

lives or had lived in some of the worlds most exotic locations. But
for some reason

He seemed reasonably happy, certainly not "disturbed" in any way, when I
met him in Chiang Mai some years back. We met at a mutual friend's home
and he resembles in no way the person depicted by the trolls here.

****** What a total load of codswallop Krypto, you've never been to
Thailand and certainly never met Kramer.



At
the time I didn't know who he was as he was introduced only by his first
name. Quite a large expatriate community in Chiang Mai and I know a few
of them. I wouldn't call Chiang Mai exotic however. It was exotic when I
first traveled there in the 60's but it has become just another
metropolis nowadays. The tourists still venture there but it seems that
all the "attractions" I see nowadays are "canned", very artificial.

that only Kramer himself can explain - - it apparently
just isn't enough.

They took offence to Kramer having his business in Thailand identified
as a tagline on his posts. It doesn't take much to attract the trolls
attention. From what I saw, it was pure jealousy that HE could have a
business in Thailand and they couldn't.


******* Bull**** once again Krypto. Please read the archives and come
back when you have the facts.

"stand up" so too speak for someone like that? You may not like the

Like I said, Kramer is but one of many in the past the trolls have
targeted and harassed out of usenet. Did you note the way they stepped
in on Mike Bryant's case yet knowing little if anything about him. They
are just wanting to pick fights because their own lives are so dull and
miserable.


*******ROTFLMAO...... Dull and miserable???? Nope I was'nt a civil
servant for 55 years so no reason to be that way.

Well, when I first looked into r.r.s, I could have been forgiven for
thinking a massive flame war was in progress. Also, if you recall, YOU
moved into rec.knives and gave the trolls sufficient "fuel" to reignite
the fires in that forum. That action of yours was the basis of my
responses to you in that forum.
You need to be careful of the old adage that you seem to be applying
here. That is, "My enemy's enemy is my friend." In this case, your
enemy's enemy will soon become your enemy and the enemy of everyone else
in this forum. Choose your friends wisely else you may find yourself as
welcome in this forum as a turd in a swimming pool!


******* The only reason you moved here was to play games with us
Krypto.
A look at your record shows that you and that clown Brian (a far
cleverer troll that you will ever be) are always several days behind
the action.

You could have chosen, as many did, to ignore it. That way, r.r.s would
have remained harmonious. That is how we deal with such in s.c.v, give
the trolls no air and they eventually get bored and move on. Most
discussion in s.c.v is in Vietnamese anyway so the trolls would be
pushing the proverbial uphill to interject in any meaningful way. The
Vietnamese Government toss in their own trollish interjectors into s.c.v
as well but these are well known. The word gets round and they are
totally ignored.


******* Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

just at me either....he has/had done it for **YEARS**.

Like I said, ignore it. Respond to those posts you consider reasonable
and ignore the rest. I notice that most in r.r.s indeed do exactly that.
