Bruce, may I respectfully suggest that you are splitting hairs.

Gregg may (or may not) be directly disruptive, but on an INDIRECT basis,
he certainly HAS been disruptive. By his OWN ADMISSION (several times),
he has said that he willfully brought over the thugs from other
groups to cause trouble in RRS.

...and even though the Bryant party is long over, the stench of the
'visiting' trolls -still- lingers on.

The bottom line seems to be that you are saying if Gregg doesn't do the
dirty work himself, that's OK...and if he brings in others to do his
dirty work, you apparently think that's OK too.

Again, it looks like we can agree to disagree. :-)

Agreed, and like I said, every man is responsible for his own
actions. Of course, Gregg should not bring them over just to cause
trouble, but he is not responsible for them being assholes.

He IS responsible for them being assholes in RRS.

Over the last few months, nothing that Gregg has done has bothered me,
and none of his "thugs" have seemed especially onerous either, just
occasional twits. Other newsgroups are loaded with them, and they are
usually ignored.

No, they aren't and that is their aim. These are more persistent than most.

Michael Bryant was/is a relatively unusual character, you have to
admit - and these kinds of people seem to attract taunters and bullies
wherever they go, regardless of the group. Even before Gregg and the
boys (whose antics with MB I did not witness), MB's personality easily

It still beggars belief that you didn't witness that!

made enemies of many people, including some who should have been his
friends. I should have been an ally, and I never really disliked him,
but he derided and eventually cussed at me because I dared to disagree
with him on a couple of minor points. He wa shis own worst enemy.
You've seen the type elsewhere, I am sure. He is not here right now,
and things seem pretty quiet overall, except for Krypsis.

I'd like RRS to stay quiet too but with Gregg bringing trolls over here
to stir things up (their words) it is unlikely to remain so.

I don't care anymore, really. I'm gonna let it drop on this end.
Krypsis can go on all he wants. As long as Gregg talks SWL and keeps
it civil, I am not going to complain about him or give whiners any
credence. Krypsis is not a prophet, and I am not paranoid ;-)

Don't need to be a prophet! I'm working on the evidence before my eyes.

When was it? I last remember MB being taunted about 4-5 yrears ago,
but mostly by a relative handful of regulars...not these guys. I did
not pay too much attention here for awhile (sidetracked by a million
other things) unitl the last 6 months or so, during which I have
*tried* to focus on radio and not the other bull**** that people keep
dragging up. Unless it was that period half a decade ago, I am not
surprised that I missed it - in fact, this message from MB this
morning is the first one I easily recall seeing for years...there may
have been a few others.

Duh. Check out July and August of 2009. I'm sure the Google archives
go back that far. Dude, you even defended me during that period. But,
hey, I understand. It's easier to try to get along with these folks
than to stand up to them.

I don't know what to say.

He can't even remember an email he sent me two days ago. How could you
expect him to recall events, in which he was a participant, that
occurred almost a year ago?
I'm still suspicious about his over the top defence of Gregg and his
activities. There's more to that than meets the eye I suspect.
