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.

Wouldn't it make more sense to simply not answer him at all? Put him
in your kill file and be done with him permanently.

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... ;-)

Eric, just in case you haven't figured it out already, you got hooked.

Anyone using OE, select Ignore Conversation from Message drop down.
Kill-file (block Sender in OE) at will.
