No. my premise is that this flame war is unwinnable, so please stop

It's never been about "winning".

Killfiling--that's your advice, although I disagree. As I do with

In the first place The Loony can't inflict any harm here. All he

announced that he won't be posting anything about fly fishing so
reasonable folks can stick him in a killfile without missing a
thing. And unreasonable folks like myself can continue to play

Heh heh, you and others like you are the ones inflicting harm. Many
many people have left this group because of you and your antics.

If you reread my 'tirade' Ken, you will see that my 'preaching' was a
request that people not cast nor take bait, hence inflaming the un-
winnable flame war.

It was, and still is, a reasonable request.

I don't need to reread that nonsense, it was silly enough the
first time.

Killfiling--that's your advice, although I disagree. As I do with
Dave's advice--ignoring. I do not choose to killfile or ignore any of
you; you all often have good stuff posted and even virtual
relationships are relationships, and I prefer to keep relationships
alive, civil, and productive. I have no beef with Mike, nor do I have
one with you, and certainly none with Dave (with whom I had a great
weekend fishing and look forward to doing again). I disagree with
Mike's invective-filled posts here, so I do not engage with him when
he does it. Likewise, I feel the same about you; I choose not to
engage in flame wars with you, but instead try to maintain an open
discourse.

If Mike's intent is to destroy ROFF (which it is), then you are
helping him immensely. Contributing to that weird cycle is not my
crusade; however I (like others, I am sure) certainly would like to
see you guys desist. Roff, of course, will never be 'destroyed', but
it sure can become a lot less fun for everyone else except you guys.

I offer you all another perspective on your advice: if there is a
civil thread going on, don't trash it. Just killfile ME and the people
who are not participating in your flame fest.

*That* strikes me as considerably more reasonable.

There never was anything to win Myron. There are only two real
choices, just ignore the asshole, or leave. It makes no difference at
all what you post either to or about him, it has no effect on him.

Again. LOL !!!

Heh heh, your tactics are as transparent as ever.

As well they should be since I've always been very clear about
my tactics and purpose. I Poke The Loony, The Loony has a
hilarious meltdown. It's great fun for me because there's few
things I like better than seeing some pompous know-it-all make
a complete ass of himself.

I must admit it's going to be hard to top the "showing of the ass"
but you're full of surprises Your Looniness, I'm sure you won't
disappoint. You haven't yet. Please,

Carry on.

Heh heh, there isn´t anything to compare with a nasty ignorant bigoted
know-****-all like you misbehaving in public Kenny boy.

That´s why a lot of people have left this group, they can´t even stand
to be in cyberspace with you. You are not only a real nasty asshole
yourself, you have an extremely deleterious effect on others, as you
have had on this whole group.

Oh, I see. You want to be just like me when you grow up. You've
stated that your goal is to have an extremely deleterious effect
on this newsgroup. According to you, I have already succeeded in
a task to which you can only aspire.

Your jealousy, while flattering, is misplaced. Neither one of us
can have much of an effect on this place.

Now swish off Little Drama Queen and find another hero to worship.

Nobody with any sense wants to be even remotely like you Kenny boy,
indeed most wish you weren´t even like you.

You will get your just deserts sooner or later Kenny boy, and most
people will have a good laugh about it.

Whatever, I haven´t the time to waste in responding to a stupid piece
of filth like you all the time, and it´s quite pointless anyway.
