Sometimes I feel I need to do something about it. I mean, it's like a cry for help, don't you think and I'm a good samaritan I am. |

writes The message from Sacha contains these words: The Puke is only an irritant, and a minor irritant at that, if you allow her to be. The best thing to do with her, and all the other trolls, is simply to ignore her. So, basically, you came back to create more hiatus? WHY BOTHER? As my grannie used to say 'a picked spot never heals', so perhaps it's high time you stopped picking this particular spot? Move on, forget all this unpleasantness, or at least put it to the back of your mind! Who knows, in a couple of months you might be telling all of uk.f+d exactly _how_ and _what_ to cook....! G No way!! -- June Hughes |

The best thing to do with her, and all the other trolls, is simply to ignore her. A 'minor irritant' does not try to lose someone their career, it does not 'threaten' to visit people in their homes or drive up to them to be photographed. It does not lie about emails received from or about other people; it does not lose a newsgroup its most valuable members. Well, she hasn't attempted to lose ME my job, nor to visit ME on her way to Janet's.....so WHY have YOU been the objects of her attention and *I* haven't? Could it be that I have, to a greater or lesser degree, ignored her? I think what is overlooked here is that at varying times and in varying degrees, we - that is Judith, Janet and I - have ignored her, too. But you are now taking it up again, it would have been far better if you, and Judith and Janet had just ignored her, the trolls always rely upon people responding to them, I'm sure that most of us would prefer that all of you were just to come back and answer sensible posts, and ignore the idiotic ones. But, not unreasonably, I think, we objected to someone not only giving bad or dodgy gardening advice but then resorting to horrible language and personal insult on a tiresomely regular basis, when that advice was queried or corrected. If we are given bad advise, most of us would not tkae any notice of any further 'advice' from that source. Everyone has a breaking point in terms of that kind of abuse, Anne and we were getting that kind of flak on a daily basis with nobody else standing u and saying 'enough'. But you are not ignoring it, you are just encouraging her to continue to irritate you. I can't speak for Judith or Janet but I can say for myself that I loathe and detest lies and liars. We all feel like that, but there comes a time where we have to ignore that sort of post, so please just ignore her posts and concentrate on helping those of us who value your input. Alan |

The message from "Alan Holmes" contains these words: And it's !PLONK! Oh, the power, the power! I recall reading somewhere that in a home computer, there was more computer capacity than was used to send Man to the moon. So, thanks to Mr Microsoft, I can now killfile people such as Puke and her encouragers like Uncle Marvo and Dementor and Nasty Mike etc. And I can do so till the cows come home because I have so much bang for my buck on this wee machine. Life is grand, or would be if the frosts would stop. |

Alan Alan -novice gardeners and newbies to the group need to be made aware of things like Puke and the bad advice that she dishes out. If everyone bunged her in a killfile how could anyone warn folk about her, and as Sacha has pointed out if you killfile Puke then you do not see the vitriolic crap she spews out against innocent posters. I agree, not replying to her posts is the best course of action (usually). |

I agree, not replying to her posts is the best course of action (usually). I'm sorry, I can resist no longer ! Rupert Alan -novice gardeners and newbies to the group need to be made aware "newbies" in any usenet newsgroup have no business being there if they cannot distinguish sensible posters from 'the rest'. Unmoderated usenet newsgroups are an anarchy, not a democracy nor an autocracy. I hold no particular candle for La Puce, but did anyone notice how calm and collected the newsgroup became when 'the usual suspects' gathered up their toys and left ? ( well, didnt actually leave, but hung around awhile to see how their denial of service would deprive us all,, and how many regretful posthumous adulations would result,,, vanity is a word that comes to mind ) The group who left in high dudgeon do the group no respect if they all rush back in with this interminable nonsense. Now that 'they' have 'returned' it is to further disrespect the group by continuing their vendetta, not to benifit the group with their (reputed) gardening wisdom ! PS. it is childish as well as lacking in intellect to continue renaming a person as Puke instead of La Puce. |

"Rupert (W.Yorkshire)" wrote in message ... If everyone bunged her in a killfile how could anyone warn folk about her, Why should these "folk" believe you, and not her ? Supposing you try and "warn" people about Puce, and she replies by claiming that its you who's the liar and the troll. How exactly do you intend to get around that little difficulty ? With a 100 post slanging match every time the two of you fall out ? With piles of quotes from other posts which nobody will bother to read ? Following which, you eventually decide to leave the Group as well, owning to lack of support from the other posters. Sound familiar ? So how exactly is this all going to work ? and as Sacha has pointed out if you killfile Puke then you do not see the vitriolic crap she spews out against innocent posters. Same as before. So what exactly do you intend to do, if Puce responds by posting "vitriolic crap" against you, as well ? Ask her very nicely if she'll go away? Do you really think that will work? And do you think constantly referring to her as Puke, is the best way to go about achieving that objective ? michael adams .... |

Now that 'they' have 'returned' Who exactly do you mean by "they" ? Because very few people who left this NewsGroup have returned. At any point since their departure weeks ago. And this Newsgroup is the poorer for their loss, IMO. michael adams .... |

Because very few people who left this NewsGroup have returned. True ! But the ones who did (it seems to me), only did so to continue ,, Oh forget it ! Why did I bother (especially as I agree with your recent reply to Rupert ! ) |

That is by-the-by to what I (thought I) raised, it may also be that your opinion is my opinion also, _IF_ they could stay focussed on gardening matters, If all they want to do is debate who said what to whom and who tried to do what to their employers or others and who may (or may not) be the most authoritative and ohhhhhh groan, I care not ! and it says more about their self-perceived status as divas (or harridans) that they think we are remotely concerened. Like I said previously, they disrispect the rest of us by continuing their grandstanding. Cant they just realise that it tars them all and that ( usually) we care not a fig ! ? |
