crossposting (was: On Sunday)
[removed: alt.support.grief, alt.religion.christian.adventist]
for those who are old-hats at usenet/newsgroups this is nothing new, but for those who havent yet been a part of the community for a while please indulge me for a moment while i elaborate a bit on what's happening. what you are seeing is an attempt at a prelude to a crosspost flame war. meaning; two sides of two different posting groups respnding in argument to the same thread. what results is a thread that will last for months with nothing acomplished except hatred, abuse, and foul language being slung across all groups involed. to show how this relates to what we are seeing here; 1. a topic is posted. 2. someone posts an an attack against the original poster. (this is a "flame" or "flaming") 3. the majority attack the the new individual for his attack. (also "flaming") 4. the poster then crossposts the string to another group(s) that were not involved in the original string with additional comments designed to cause the new groups to "flame" the poster as well. 5. group 1 wonders why group 2 is posting in their group. 6. side A from both groups begin arguing with side B. and on it goes. Daryl is looking for people to fight with so he can drag the discussions into other groups and get them to join in the fighting as well. then those in the aquaria groups will get frustrated at all the "off-topic flaming" going on and wonder why it's being posted in their group. before you know it you have a flame war. when you reply to the crossposts you are inviting them into the groups here, which is exactly what the person you are replying to has intended to happen, and what he is goading you into doing. if you must reply (which i would recommend you dont in the first place because all you do is feed it) please trim the groups to avoid allowing this. this is not directed at anyone individually. i'm just using this opportunity to make an example. |

I actually considered not posting anymore to him... but, it got to a point
where I was either having too much fun poking holes in his obvious delusions, or I was just simply amazed with seeing that someone is so distorted and able to type at the same time. I've read some articles on this nut. And I now think play time is over with him... there is no possible way to educate him past his own mental blocks. I only read the articles out of some morbid fascination and because he lives in a world so different from mine. It was no different than watching a National Geographic program and seeing how other people live. In this case, a mentally distorted person who is (out of his own words) out to make sure we are all dead. well, nuff said... I feel bad for the guy now... I'll probably have to poke a hole in his theories every now and then... just not here though... ;-) -brian "Eric Schreiber" wrote in message ... "DumberThanSnot" wrote: I totally agree...
