Why is it that when you kill file all the troublemakers, someone else has to
come along and make sure you have to see it ANYWAY?
PLONK, another one bites the dust!

At least with me, in *hopes* that it would help that person think "Dang,DX is
killfiling me, there 'must' be a good reason."

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. So that was his way of telling me 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.

To be sure it can be used tactfully in some cases, but for the majority of
occurrences, it appears to me that the person doing the plonk *has* 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.


I wonder who's kill filed my butt? I really don't like being off topic but I
just can't help responding to things I have opinions about. Oh well!

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.

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.
