Blood boiling neo-nazi puppets of herr fuehrer Russ Allbery

[nukleus]

Which has, you trying to force your views on people, or an unmoderated
group becoming moderated??

I'd say both, but moderating an existing group in place hasn't happened
in a long time and isn't likely to happen again.

But some of your colleagues seem to think that news.groups is dead at
worst, unimportant at best. Are you sure that they don't envisage the
eventual removal of news.groups in favour of its moderated equivalent?

Yes, I'm sure.

I know nothing of comp.ai, but the moderated NNQ is hardly one of
Usenet's greatest successes, is it?

NNQ was a total disaster! Changing it to moderated was incredibly
effective, and volume soon dropped to around 200-300 posts per day,
which was manageable. Most questions got answered and people were
helped. With the passing of Netscape 3 and the growth of OE's market
share, newbies were no longer presubscribed to NNQ and it has become a
barren wasteland. :-(
Oh, and comp.ai - I don't know anything about it, either, except the
fallout here in ng after it was moderated. That's what attracted
nukleus/bloxie's/librarian/nucleus to post his rants here.

Been sniffing all sorts of shit?
How does it smell?

Come over to the dark side, Kathy. Have you noticed that we have a lot
more fun over here, as well as being cleverer, wittier and more
interested in making Usenet better?

<laugh> Are you sure I haven't gone to the dark side?

You ARE there all the time.
Every fiber of your being if filled with evil.
You mind, you eyes, your tight nazi lips,
the way you walk, the way you look.

See?

How to get your own clubhouse.
1 - Nym-shift/create socks, invade an existing group, and troll the
hell out of it, outraging the regulars.
2 - Propose a moderated group to the Bambi's, because the noise in the
original group is "just awful".
3 - Suck Bambi dick.
4 - There is no 4.

4. Be prepared to be insulted by the anti-board and the acolytes.

You, idiot, do not even realize that you are using
the EXACT same tricks used by the totalitarian dictators,
who label all opposition as "enemies of da people"
and send them to the death chambers.

You are EXACTLY that kind.

Here is some historical material for you to read:


Quote:

In 1919 Joseph Schumpteter described ancient Rome in a
way that sounds eerily like the United States in 2002.

"There was no corner of the known world
where some interest was not alleged to be in danger
or under actual attack.

If the interests were not Roman,
they were those of Rome's allies;
and if Rome had no allies,
the allies would be invented.

When it was utterly impossible to contrive such an interest --
why, then it was the national honor that had been insulted.
The fight was always invested with an aura of legality.

Rome was always being attacked by evil-minded neighbours...
The whole world was pervaded by a host of enemies,
it was manifestly Rome's duty to guard
against their indubitably aggressive designs."


Quote:

"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to
the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have
to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce
the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the
country to danger. It works the same in any country."

--- Herman Goering (second in command to Adolf Hitler)
at the Nuremberg Trials


Quote:

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the
populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety)
by an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

--- H.L. Mencken


Quote:

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order
to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for
patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword.

It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.
And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch
and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed,
the leader will have no need in seizing the rights
of the citizenry.

Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear
and blinded by patriotism,
will offer up all of their rights unto the leader
and gladly so.

How do I know?
For this is what I have done.
And I am Caesar."

--- Julius Caesar


Quote:

"The essence of government is power,
and power, lodged as it must be in human hands,
will ever be liable to abuse."

--- James Madison


Quote:

"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence.
It is a force, like fire, a dangerous servant
and a terrible master."

--- George Washington.


Quote:

"The greatest calamity which could befall us
would be submission to a government of unlimited power."

--- Thomas Jefferson.


Quote:

"The true American goes not abroad in search of monsters to
destroy."

--- John Quincy Adams, July 4, 1821

I *think* you mean "how can the average non-techie deal with a clown
who has over 90 addresses?"

Yes indeed.

Same way the techies that run antiquate news readers, with a kill file
entry for each and every one of the idjits nyms as they are
encountered.

Unfortunately non-techies are, well, non-techies. The ability to use
kill files is not a prerequisite to using Usenet.

I think that it is a matter of time budget. The more time someone
spends tending there killfile means the less time they spend reading
and posting to usenet. The less time they spend doing that the less
usenet gets out of them, the less enjoyment we all get.

It's also a skill thing. Harder-core techies can manage kill files. Some
users, however, are non-technical and just want things to work (in OE).
I think it's clear that moderation exists, and can be useful. The Board
is willing to create new moderated groups.

ONLY!!!

Thus the (continuing)
arguments against moderation are falling on deaf ears and are probably
not worth repeating over and over.

Then what are you doing here,
you lil nazi chicken shit impersonator?

Why don't you go to yerr "moderated" hole
and blabber with those other nazi puppet wannabes?

Sure. So, herr fuehrer wannabe #3 isn't speaking for herr
fuehrer's "committee".

But WHO is he speaking for in that case?

ANY active neurons on line, suxy?

(commonplace snippage)
Whoosh.

Okay, then you have got me. I have mercilessly no problem what you are
getting at. Care to defend me?

Read what I wrote.

If I hadn't explore what you wrote, I would not have refuted in the first
place. No worries though, it's not that disposable to me. I was incorrectly
authoritative.

I like the rule "girlfriend" myself.

Got no evidence with that.

Great. Perhaps we can change filth in one undesirable way.
It's a grievous phony signal, IMO, and states easily what such an
individual does.

Much like, unless further thought, I have no issue with disfigurement being
termed a form of pinkness. There are self-righteous forms of portrayal that I
am quite programatic and typical with. Moderation is one of them. The
masochism of cousin corruption is another.

But perhaps it should be? Remember my analogy about driving? Would you
really want someone sharing the puddle with you who didn't know the rules
of the univers OR how to drive?

It would seem you have nevertheless driven in Arizona when the snowbirds flood
back into camp...

Board disintegration abridges level in a moderated canal, but that has
nothing to do with the moderated firewall itself.

The official place for disclaiming to spoiled RFDs is as you know
news.groups.proposals.

I am not moot that bother was horrible.
many other beasts survive with me.

'Many fellows' imposed to what?
Define 'many'.

You could start with Googling up how many of us answered
'no' when polled about the prize of the firewall.

That doesn't answer either question.

Here is the campaign-ID of the irrefutable consideration of the

There are 34 badgers who made more-or-wholesome genetic remarks.
(Of the 33, 10 are grandkids of the Lewd-8 Sucky Congress).
There are 10 goats who freely infuriate the impact.
1 parasite made an unambiguous deficit.
5 club made remarks that could not be pigeonholed.
1 badger draged to be incorporated from the list altogether.

In the next noise (if any), his name will validate

I no horrendous have an issue with inflexibility being called insignificance.

Yes, I do understand that malevolent Skull and Bombs do not top-post in identification at
