Rethinking it all again, again...

Hi Mike

If this indeed is the case why do you keep hanging on here then?
I hope that your presence here is indicating that you actually find ROFF
useful to some extent?

whatsoever to people of such a nature. It may be only words to some,
or cheap entertainment, and ignorable, it is not for me.

I appreciate your thoughts here. If everyone would live according to
those words we would likely see less ignorants around here and one
usenet in general for that matter. Seems as if many a newsgroup has been
killed by people using this media as a way to engage in no-risk fights
on words. I bet that they are the same wimpish people that never say the
tinnies of 'ips' when they are in face-to-face situations.

No, I no longer find it useful, or even remotely enjoyable. Even when
I posted fishing oriented material, it merely resulted in insults and
slurs.

I think it would be a good thing if it died, as that would take away
the platform that some people are using to wilfully abuse others. They
would not be allowed to post in other places, and that would
effectively prevent many other people from being abused.

There are plenty of very good angling sites on the net now, so it
would be no great loss information-wise.

Many people have already left, as they don´t wish to participate in a
forum of this nature. Few will join, as a result of what they see
happening here, and so the demise is accelerating all the time.

The only reason I am hanging on here is to help accelerate that demise
in any way I can. Just as there is nothing I can do about the abuse
and insults, there is nothing they can do about my posting. People who
don´t like it, only have one sensible option, apart from ignoring a
lot of stuff, and that is to leave.

The natural tendency of most people is to take the line of least
resistance. Even those who have not engaged in any of this nonsense,
and are basically indifferent to it, will eventually become so sick of
it that they will simply leave. Having to wade through all this crap,
or killfile most of the group, in the vague hope of finding something
useful or pleasant, is not something most sensible people are prepared
to do.

The ability to insult and abuse people with impunity is a two edged
sword.

Mike, that would make you a creep. And a childish creep at that.

Indeed? That is a very interesting observation. What is your opinion
on people who call others nazi homos, or a variety of other choice
epithets? Nice guys? Pillars of society? Shining lights for youthful
fly-anglers? Paragons of virtue?

I have already been called a creep several times, it is boring. If you
can´t think of something new to help with the circus then I rather
fear your input is superfluous.

Mike,

Based on a person's behavior, I draw my opinions. Just because I don't
spend my time here spouting off my opinion of others does not mean I do
not have opinions of them. That said, I don't need you to tell me what
those opinions are, or to whom I should state them. Your apparent
assumption that I need your guidance in such matters is central to your
arrogance problem. Should the behavior of others start interfering with
my fair use of this board, as is your stated creepy goal (once again, "if
I can't enjoy it, nobody will", a goal a petulant five year old would be
proud to pursue), I will let them know, in no uncertain terms.

Further, I wasn't necessarily calling you a name. I was telling you what
I think of you. There is a difference. Illustratively, I can't believe
anyone reading roff could conceivably believe you are a "nappy-headed
nazi homo", which you have been called numerous times. Many, however,
would glady second "creep". You're on a tear George Gherke himself would
be proud of. I suspect he's looking down on all this right now,
snickering about how right he was about you.

Here, the word "creep" is simply a general insult. I assumed nothing
at all, I merely asked a few questions. It seems my ideas of honour
and fairness differ very considerably from others on this group. I owe
you no explanations, nor do I owe anybody else any. I will continue to
pursue my aims as long as I consider it politic to do so. Since I don
´t believe in anything at all, much less a saintly Gehrke looking down
from somewhere, I must perforce undertake my own endeavours in
defending myself against those who would malign me. What you write is
of passing interest, but it gets me no nearer to my target. What you
believe is also irrelevant. It is not a case of "if I can't enjoy it,
nobody will", it is a case of doing my absolute utmost to ensure that
these people can not continue to malign me, here or elsewhere, and
preferably to ensure that they don´t do it to anybody else either.

I wonder how sad that makes someone who goes around calling people sad
little nappy-headed nazi homos? You are a piece of filth. The only
reason you stay here is that here you can get away with being a piece
of filth.
