Its really a comedy routine here.

These guys are all funny in a relatively morbid yet facinating sort of way.
Altho I am surely not a historian, probably similar to many past human
interactions

but

This one is on a virtual and crowded river w people fishing pockets of some
kind of reailty and some are even trolling.

And - They are all using flies

Your post is unintelligible. For meaningful communication in this
medium, it is necessary to conform to certain rules governing the use
of written English. Should you not be privy to these rules, which is
apparently the case, then you might as well refrain.

Or simply confine yourself to statements like "Again you sure are a
fat creep! " which although not apparently addressed to anybody in
particular, you later stated to be directed at myself, and which you
finally managed to complete, doubtless after prodigious mental effort,
on your second attempt.

Since Ken is obviously asleep at the switch, I'll have to step in here.

Fred, you may not speak or understand mindless drivel, but you sure can
write it. Your replies never contain any of the original posts to which
you're replying, which makes the context extremely difficult to figure
out. Look at the other posts here - do you see what I mean? You need to
assume people are not following the entire thread all the way down to
your replies. Even *with* that context, your posts are near
intelligible. Take a little more time and read the stuff you write
before you hit the send button. A misspelled word here and there is not
a problem, but you have a bit more of an issue than that.

.. . . and be glad it was me instead of Ken. I'm the kinder, gentler one.

As an outsider to your dispute, and an infrequent poster (I try to post only
when I have a relevant On Post question to ask), it appears to me that
because you disagree with several regulars here that you think the solutoin
to your dispute is to destroy ROFF for all the other decent people that
might wish to read or post here. Or so you posted. And if people wishing to
post don't follow perfect english grammer usage and spelling, then they have
no right to post here? Forgive me for voicing an opinion, but that line of
reasoning seems absurd to me. This type of thinking is exactly the kind of
thing that discourages new posters and readers from constructively and
positively contributing to ROFF in the first place.

I donīt have a dispute as such, I merely reply occasionally to
insulting posts. Anybody may post here, including dumbos, and they
frequently do. If you wish to "constructively and positively"
contribute here, although I cant really see why anybody would want to,
in the meantime, then posting something about fly-fishing or related
subjects is more likely to achieve such an aim, than posting negative
criticism of others.

Correct English usage is required for meaningful communication.
Posting gibberish is simply pointless, although there is nothing to
prevent anybody doing so.

They are not degenerate human beings either. They have opinions just

You will never destroy roff. There are too many good people here (and

succeed. By even attempting such a scheme says volums about your

They are dishonourable degenerate assholes, who hide behind their

You donīt know anything at all about my integrity, and the rest of

If I may ask directly then, what does your honour demand by way of
satisfaction?

If you're looking for an apology from individuals or the group, I daresay
you're not likely to get that on your present course.

If you demand that all who have slighted or insulted you in the past be
forever banished from this group, I fear you are setting unrealistic goals.
No one has that power, and it isn't going to happen. You know that.

If you demand, alternatively, that this group dissolve, thus depriving those
posters of their forum, this too is unrealistic. Your present course of
action is, I daresay, leading in exactly the opposite direction. At best,
you will drive off only the "benign" posters, for those who thrive on the
confrontation are enjoying the contest and will be the last ones to leave.
You are merely harming innocents, those who actually seek knowledge, those
who you claim to want to help. Furthermore, your volume of posts serves to
inflate the perceived popularity of the group more so than to destroy it.
The more you post, the statistically stronger ROFF becomes.

By all means, carry on if you like; but I can't see where it's going to
satisfy your honour as much as irredeemably harm it.

I am not demanding anything at all. As you quite rightly point out,
any demands at all would be completely unrealistic. Also, I have no
more right to make demands than anybody else. Neither do I expect to
gain any satisfaction whatsoever as a result of my actions. The
"benign" posters will have no trouble at all staying in contact, or in
posting elsewhere if they wish. Only the filth will be contained here.
Isolating filth is a public service, like containing rats or
cockroaches. They can trade filth among themselves as much as they
like, nobody will care, but they cant damage any decent people.

Statistics are meaningless here. The numbers mean nothing if ninety

That would be only a slight increase from the usual numbers. ROFF has

which are what, exactly? I mean, I could easily observe
what you seem to have achieved, but guess that those outcomes were not your
desired objectives.....

You donīt know anything at all about my integrity

What a load of bull****. You dumbo were so stuck for an insult, you
even told me my doggerel was ****. Gave me a laugh at least. If I
continue my present course, there will be fewer people left to be
against me. Also, I have not yet even bothered to call on any allies.
Why donīt you just wait and see what happens?
Not one dumbo, or a whole bunch of them, is going to **** me about
like this and get away with it. It has nothing to do with ego either,
it is a matter of personal honour.

You've already lost the war no matter how many "allies"
you bring in. Sorry Mike, but you are acting just like
GeorgeG.

While I never held any affection or respect for George Gherke, he
would have realized that such a course of action would be
counterproductive to his aims. George wanted to be liked and
respected. While reality wasn't always close to George, it was never
so far away that he'd have done something like this.

I read that without first checking to see who the author was (didn't notice
his name at the top of the piece). When I finished I discovered that it was
Harvey Fierstein. Didn't ring any bells, so I did a Google Images search.
Oh.....duh.....I know him! Seen him in lots of movies and stuff. Often
plays a fat, gay guy. Does it well. Now I know why! :)

He's also articulate and thoughtful. Very good essay. It's a pity that
those who need to won't read it.

Thanks.

Wolfgang
