Me neither...If I don't want to read a post, I just ignore it. I
actually get a lot of laughs out of some of this stuff.

To be sure it can be used tactfully in some cases, but for the majority

to announce it in order to get the satisfaction of "hitting the bully
and running away".

More often than not, the plonkee is going to respond to it anyway - so
everyone, except the plonker, gets one more taste of it. A plonk file,
used properly and tastefully, can be very effective. A plonkfile, used
as a hit-and-run weapon, is a tool for spineless cowards who probably
have ample experience with being bullied and *still* haven't figured
out the most effective response.

Just my $.02.

Fortunately, my newsreaders do not force me to read anything. I have to

It's actually easier to killfile a thread. If you killfile a person,
you can always see the killfiled person's responses in other people's
posts. Kill the thread, you don't have to see them at all. I hate to
kill file people because sometimes anybody can say something
interesting and you can learn from it.

Now, I doubt that happens, but that is my hope. The only ones in here
I've killfiled was Bryany (that was a gimme) and Steve -and that was
ahard decision for me. I like Steve and he offers good info in
relation to the hobby.

I even emailed him and begged him to tone it down with Bryant, but
for some reason, he just can't.

That is the power of the king of Trolls.

to 'get lost' IMO.
So
I had no choice, it was unfortunate but I had NO choice the
negatives farrrrrrrr outweighed the positives.

I do believe though (maybe stupidity on my part) if I emailed Steve
with a question realted to sw, he would answer me.

The reason you shouldn't announce when you kill file someone is it
lets the person know they need to change the name they post under so
everyone else who has quietly kill filed them can enjoy their posts
again.

I announce because I want them to know they are annoying and I don't
have to read them. If they keep changing their handle I can generally
find a common denominator in their header to key on. Then they can
change their handle all they want and I still don't have to read them.

But I couldn't see Steve doing that.
