I am extremely sorry to read in the raspberries thread that two of its
most longterm contributors, Judith Lea and Sacha Hubbard have left urg
because they are no longer prepared to tolerate the appalling level of
lies, abuse, and threats made against them.

Those who stood by and said nothing should be ashamed, particularly
those who counted both as friends in real life, or have been the
recipients of their legendary generosity with plants, time and
hospitality.

So you will now start uk.rec.gardening.moderated and you would have won. The
gardening newsgroup of your own :-))

Isn't that what you always wanted?

Just think, no nasties. No one you have to say 'Go and look at the FAQ's'

All your own.

You will be very lonely

I didn't stand by and say nothing, I wasn't aware of these particular
hostilities (I knew about another but that perpetrator was banned from my
screen).

What I HAVE read, now, on the raspberry thread is seriously disturbing.
There will be more names in my killfile. This won't bring Sacha or Judith
back and I don't know what I could do to help - unless we start another ng
and all of us carefully screen out who we read and answer.

There are always disagreements on newsgroups but what's happened here is
disgraceful. If any action is taken against it or for the others, please let
me know.

So don't talk about, do it, set up a little closed coterie for the 3-4

licking each others backsides in peace.

Nobody took much in the way of action anyway. All it needs is a
killfile to ignore posters you can't get on with. If you don't react
or respond they soon get bored. Contrariwise, if you react, shout
them down or disparage their opinions (even if you are right) you just
start a catfight.

I think you should have added "knowingly" in between "who" and "stood by",
but even then, may be people thought it better to not get drawn into a
slanging match or whatever.

For the record, I haven't followed that thread, and the first I knew about
all this was the post I am now responding to. I don't think it is useful
to
attempt to "guilt-trip" us all who have said nothing.

Some of us make extensive use of killfiles and are therefore unaware of the
aggro - I have no desire to read the nonsense spouted by people whose
opinion means nothing to me. If you killfile someone who then insults you,
the magic thing is you don't know or care. I value Sacha and Janet's
gardening comments.

Anyone who posts on Newsgroups for any length of time, should learn
how to set up a kill-file, without necessarily announcing it to the
world.

Attention seekers such as Puce are not going to be made to go away,
simply by virtue of all the regulars simply queuing up and telling
them how obnoxious they are. In fact precisely the opposite. They
know that already, and are being obnoxious on purpose. And they will stoop
to any depths to get a reaction of some kind. The more reaction they
can get, the happier they will be. People like Puce, latch on to people
who are easily wound-up and stick to them like limpets. So long as they
can get a response of any kind.

The only answer to such people is simply to ignore them. And the
only way to be sure of ignoring them, and avoiding the temptation to
have just one more read and get upset all over again, is simply to
killfile them behind their backs.

Not long ago I was involved in a row on another newsgroup and I have no

Done long ago!

someone have an off list word with Judith and Sacha after they have had a
weekend to cool down.

they and everyone else should just agree to kill file the obnoxious &
aggressive individuals - any form of interaction (even this post!!!!) is an
encouragement to them to continue.

It ain't a urg thing its an internet thing - some people just seem to enjoy
disrupting otherwise friendly and sociable groups by ad hominem attacks.

I was gobsmacked to learn of this. I'm highly selective in the threads
that I read and tend to look at very few. If I see that any are
started or contain 'contributions' from some notorious posters, I
usually leave them well alone and do not return to them. Raspberries do
not fall within spheres of interest for me and it is only your posting
that has caused me to have a look. I then delved further to find other
bits of extreme unpleasantry caused by attacks from the same sources.

It saddens me to see this kind of thing happening on URG. We've had a
few spats in the past, but nothing like this. I've been here for
around 9 or 10 years and always thought of it as a homely place - first
and last call of the day, if you see what I mean. It really has become
sorely tainted by a few malevolent, twisted and utterly nauseous
posters. Incursions from x posters who delight in trying to offend
with foul language and obscenities are another problem. There are
better places to be and that's where I'm going. Bye.

I was not aware that both of these people have stopped subscribing to URG,

Your software will sort that out. For example, hitting 'kill' in
turnpike gives the choice of killing author, subject or thread, and if
you choose author, it will kill that specific poster from that specific
address. In other words, I could kill you, but still see posts from
other Alans. Downside is that if you were to start posting from a
different address, I'd have to kill you all over again.

It appears you're posting using Outlook Express.

In the main Oulook Express Window, in the right hand pane click on
any post by the person you want to killfile - open it first to be
sure it's the correct person - although Mike Lyle always shows as
Mike Lyle in any case. Unlike the other character who you want to
kill file.

Then in the menus along the top select [ Message ]

Then in the drop down menu select [ block sender ]

That's it. Job done.

People who use other Newsreaders such as Forte will probably need
to do something similar.

Like you, Mary, I haven't been following that thread. In fact, I've been
too busy in the garden to read the group for some time! (Marvellous
weather for this time of year, isn't it!)

Until today :-(

Although I've had little interaction with Judith, and never did see
eye-to-eye with Sacha, I am nevertheless disturbed to hear that they
have been driven off by one particular poster.... Me, I would have
stayed and slugged it out, but then a good old cat fight never put me
either up or down!

Well, I'd have ignored them - I find that silence is a great put-down :-) In
the distant past Sacha had a spat with me but I let her have the last word
and once that's happened there's nothing more to say, is there?


... I don't think creating another
NG would help, TBH.

I said it without enough thought, my idea was that a new one would enable
the hurt ones to come back with dignity but that we could all start from
scratch and deny offensive posters from our individual screens. On
reflection it's a bit OTT, I think, if people want them back enough they'll
mail them to say so.

Well, I hope Sacha and Judith reconsider. I'm sure they're made of

Yes, people should be very careful in this as well as in real life.

The leaving of both Sacha (with Ray in the background too) and Judith will
be a great loss to URG and internet gardening in general, and now Dave
Poole intimates he is going too. How many more experienced and
knowledgeable gardeners are to be driven out, sad day, very sad day.

Well, as a very wise man once said to me, on his resignation, "Mary, the
graveyards are full of indispensable people ... "

All these people who've signalled their intention to leave have
no doubt got plenty of friends on this NewsGroup, who will be happy
to email them I'm sure, once this present pestilence is past.

Which they should have done a long time ago with their personal and
private kissy kissy messages instead of using this newsgroup as 'their'
message board and discuss property ownership overseas and visiting each
other as a couple of examples along with the continual advert 'for my
husband's Garden Centre' and lush Cream Teas. There was even a plug for
the Tea Room and the books therein a couple of days ago :-((

And what about your advertisements for your 'shipmates' in every post,
and your boasts about you son in law's Rolls?
This is the first time I have EVER sent a rude message on the internet,
but I am using it to say that you are a nasty, spiteful little man. You
have never contributed anything about gardening, you just use this group
to be rude to people.




"FairySnow"

A nice new poster :-))

I wonder who you are, popping up in a 'new' disguise????

Hubbard come back already?

I have been reading this group for six months and I have learned a lot from
Sacha and Judith. I have learned nothing at all from you except how rude and
spiteful you are. If you know anything about gardening you certainly haven't
shown it or helped anyone. You accused Sacha of advertising and showing off,
but that is exactly what you do with every post and you failed to deny it
because you can't.
I will look at this group again in a few weeks to see if it has improved,
but until then you will not hear from me again. You really are a nasty,
nasty piece of work. I expect you are cruel to animals too.

the magic thing is you don't know or care. I value Sacha and Janet's
gardening comments.

I hadn't read that file, and still haven't, but I feel that URG has
lost two of it's most valuable contributors. I have always felt that
they were very free with their help and advice, and yes they didn't
suffer fools gladly, but then again who does.

Seconded :~)

Ditto.

Trust me on this one. They'll be back.

I have NEVER known anyone say they are leaving a newsgroup and then not
return.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they have already read this.
