Blocking senders

Early on, before we even got around to the first draft of the RFD, the
subject of "blacklisting" or blocking posters based on IP number, nym, or
any of a number of different criteria. The suggestion was met with a
resounding "NO." Even if someone were to hold hostage and threaten to kill
a cute kitten unless we "blacklisted" someone, we still wouldn't block a
poster. We aren't even looking at ways to do it, so we may not even be
able to do it even if we wanted to. If a post is civil and about ponds,
there is little doubt that it would be approved, no matter who submitted
it. Let me make it perfectly clear, we will allow anyone to post no matter
how many cute kittens someone threatens to kill. There are NO plans to
moderate RPM on anything other than content. Of course, if someone
threatens cute bunnies we may have to rethink that...

Hell hath no fury like a bird in the hand.

So we are free to kill as many kittens rthen? I am not into hostage
keeping, as you got to feed the useless captives. I rather kill
em............

I guess one could always send em to Carol Gulley "collect" or mayabe
to San Antonio area collect to Gail! Then their refusal to pay collect
charges would result in "Their" killing of the kittens......no such
thing as a cute kitten. Dead kittens and cats rule! Only good cat or
kitten is a flat roadkill or otherwise dead one.

I have read your on-topic posts in rec.ponds and
the aquaria newsgroups. You have a lot of
experience and a lot to offer others on the
subjects of ponds and aquariums.

I honesty do not understand why you are so
determined to make other people hate you so
much they will cease reading your posts - of
any kind. It is a deep mystery to me.

Gail

tsk tsk tsk....its not any of your concern why I do what I do.....now
is it Gail. You worry about your own dam ass and I'll see that mine is
taken care of. But yu may be surprised there is reaally very few
assholes that really hate me.Its mianly a few centered around the
moderation crap and choices, and of course Carol, but who the hell
reallyb cares what you or anyone else cares, its only USENET! I may
have a lot of experience and stuff to offer but its not gonna be on
this medium by any means....You know I do not have any problems on web
based forums, evidently they are not as much of pampered assholes like
this bunch is!

It is my concern when you attack me personally
for no reason.

But yu may be surprised there is reaally very few
assholes that really hate me.

It is incredibly easy to overlook misbehavior
in newsgroups until one becomes the victim of
those attacks.

The ONLY reason I have been engaging you is
because of the rec.ponds.moderated proposal and
my commitment to be involved in the discussion,
no matter how distasteful at times.

Its mianly a few centered around the
moderation crap and choices,

No. I have seen the same kind of behavior
you exhibit in rec.ponds occurring in all
manner of newsgroups. It's a function of
basic civility, or the lack thereof, not any
procedures under discussion.

and of course Carol,

Your behavior online has nothing to do with
"Carol". It has to do with YOUR choices.
People who have no clue as to your history
or "Carol's" history on rec.ponds have been
victims of your attacks.

but who the hell
reallyb cares what you or anyone else cares, its only USENET!

It is easy to deny that words have effects in
real life. Anyone who uses that excuse is
deluding himself or herself.

I may
have a lot of experience and stuff to offer but its not gonna be on
this medium by any means....

Then go away. ::shrug:: After all, as
you say, it's "only USENET".

You know I do not have any problems on web
based forums,

I do not "know" that at all, since I tend to avoid
web based forums.

evidently they are not as much of pampered assholes like
this bunch is!

Many web based forums are strictly controlled,
much more so than is typical on USENET
newsgroups. Behavior such as you have
exhibited on rec.ponds in the recent weeks would
get you banned permanently from many
web based forums. Ergo, your statement
makes no sense.

Gail

Get a ckue GAil get a ****ing clue, YOur getting off on this crap
plain and simple. I am glad something in all these years has caused
you to have an orgasim..............was it good, did it make you
shake and tremble and scream.....;-) ....Attacking you I think not,
your seemto want to stay engaged in blow for blwo topics.....or you
would totally ignore any post , si thats proof to me you get off on
the attention like CArol, both of you are attention whores. So I
assume its safe to assume you have a deviate need to respond so you
can have an orgasim.........interesting to say the least! Now all we
have to do is figure out The Revs perversions!

Oh, and just to make it clear not that it matters I have no intentions
of participating in any moderated forum anyhow. Always been against
any regulation of what I feel like saying or my beliefs and Nazi's
went out in 1945.......I'll be damed if some one is gonna tell me what
I can or can not say and to who I can not say what I want! Just ain;t
gonna happen.....But its not my loss then either is it............

I don't know about you Galen, but if a post comes thru on my watch
threatening to kill anything if we mods don't do something, I'll be hitting
the reject button. :-) ~ jan

One of the joys of not being a potential moderator, mentor or member of the
B8 Board is that I can be very picky about whose posts I read. Galen is one
of them.
