By Jones. I suppose. I've never used it becuase I'm not willing to admit that *anyone* can get that far under my skin... an ex-wife, maybe, but not an ASCII stream. Usually, they simply bore me to the point where I'm no longer motivated to click on their messages, thus "blocking" themselves. Personally, I prefer someone who pisses me off and challenges my world view, Every now and then, someone on Usenet will do so... mostly it's mindless noise, but I read hoping someone will astound me.

People have that idiot in their killfiles and avoid reading posts by someone who simply reposts what the idiot's rant-of-the-day happens to be. So, you just might wind up in killfiles as well---the killfiles of people who will come to associate your name with reposting the idiot's rants. You may write many cogent posts, but nobody will read them because they'll be leary of being exposed to the idiot. It's a circle, but there it is..... Pat in TX > |
