Mabbett had trouble getting along with many many more people on Usenet

Not quite. He was mildly irritating, but he did NOT go in for what he
was claimed to do - I checked. What happened was that some particularly
nasty trolls started picking on him, and that snowballed - in the same
way that beating up cripples used to be a common sport.

Precisely so. To start with, he fell foul of Crowe because he and several
others objected to Crowe spamming several groups to advertise a
non-related
'service'. Whereas others simply killfiled Crowe, Andy stood his ground
and
was pilloried for it. His personal life and his working life were all
dragged into a vicious and spiteful vendetta from Crowe.

That may have been the start of his troubles with Crowe, but he had already
been deeply embroiled in problems in other groups, notably the Birmingham
local group.

Which has nothing to do with urg, however and actually, nothing to do with
Crowe, either who was using newsgroups for his own ends. And continuing to
discuss this is just what Crowe wants, so I'm bowing out now, knowing whom I
considered to be a useful and helpful member of this group and it certainly
isn't Crowe.
