There's ten years of cat problems and methods of getting rid of them
here,
we've been over this thousands of times:

I apologise!! But as a first time poster to your newsgroup I really
wouldn't
have known!!

Before posting to *any* newsgroup, it is advisable to lurk awhile and
see if the groups is really about what you think it is (to see what I
mean, try lurking in uk.rec.sheds or alt.fan.british.accent). If you had
done that you would have seen the weekly 'abc for newcomers' thread
which would have told you more about the group and pointed you towards
the FAQs.

I have a row of large conifers 15' or so... the problem is though that the
strip of earth beneath them is be coming a the local cat toilet. I hate
the
idea of the kids playing out in the garden and getting covered in all that
nasty stuff!!

Any ideas for keeping the cats away?? Or at least discouraging them from
doing thier business there??

Thanks

The way I look at it, freedom of speech is partly about the right to *not*
have to listen to boring boring BORING monomaniacs like you.

You are the rudest, most persistent, dull little git I have ever
encountered, and your attempts to identify your tedious witterings with the
sacrifice of the many peoples involved in the last world war is in the most
appalling taste.

I only saw this because someone quoted you, and I really, really hope that
no-one will *ever* do so again.

Bloody hell! I thought for a moment you were talking to me. Got quite
scared! You hit the nail on the head though.

P.S. You weren't talking to me, were you?

Sorry, no, the poster you quoted! If I'm going to be that rude (or
accurate) I should probably be a bit clearer about the target, or people
could get splattered on the walls by friendly fire ;-)

Phew! I wonder if you would be interested in my latest project? I'm
currently breeding hordes of deaf cats with very loose bowels. I plan to
release them on the Isle of Wight some time this summer.

So a remembrance service for those who survived the war, to remember those
who joined up with them as 17, 18 and 19 year olds in the 1940's, but failed
to return and gave their lives that you can have free speech and not be
under the Swastika is poor taste is it?

I will remember you and your sick thoughts on Sunday.

I think you'll find most people either have him kill filed or just click
past the posturing and posing. They're certainly not worth a second of
anyone's time. You may have noticed he gets almost none of the desperately
needed attention.

Do I include you as well Sacha? I am shocked and disgusted that someone of
your age and capability of remembering can have the same feelings.

And I should imagine many more of 'your followers' and co owners will be
shocked as well.

What do you do when the Poppy Sellers approach you? Cross over on the other
side of the street?

and do you turn the TV off at the Remembrance Service at the Royal Albert
Hall? And the Sunday at the Cenotaph? All those who served in the war and
remember their old comrades? Turn your cheek?

Mike
Bloody disgusted

So do I normally: I only see his ill-informed and deliberately trollish
postings if someone quotes them.

On this occasion he riled me enough to respond, by his illeducated and
tasteless suggestion that an entire world war was fought, and millions
killed and the world horribly wounded, for the right of a little pap-
spouter with no manners to annoy anyone he sees fit, using a technology
unthought of at the time.

I, like probably everyone else here, had relatives in that war. I am
reasonably confident that my grandfather, for example, had the
discrimination and good taste have thought of this unpleasant little
goitre on the neck of humanity as a foul little jumped-up nobody who
would have fitted right in in the Hitler Youth.

That is certainly what I think of him. Now, having responded to the
troll* with all the vocabulary I can muster, I shall shut up.

I know I shouldn't break the habit of ignoring your many more rampant
posts...
....however, just to be helpful, you ought to realise that no-one here
has even hinted that the sacrifices made by many in ww2 are not immense
and important.

You have apprently taken extreme offence to someone making a joke
(which, the last time I looked was compatible with a free society).
Worse, you have then jumped with leaden boots straight to the conclusion
that anyone that disagrees with you - whether the posts you make, or
your style - is disrespectful of veterans.

Only someone that is far too close to looking for offence to back up
some sort of victimization complex could draw such conclusions.

You seem to be trying to imply that if someone disagrees with you, they
are disgusting, ungrateful varmints because they don't appreciate the
sacrifices made by others. Vermin, even. However, usenet is not your
back garden and does not have any intelligent ultrasonic devices.

Appearances can be deceptive, but the perception is that you *seem* to
be trading on an interminably trumpeted association with military
reunions to achieve glory by association. I have bad news for you. Your
tirades against many group readers do not compare favorably with the
Dunquerque spirit and backs to the wall bravery that you seem to think
they do.

By the way, I seem to recall that "turning your cheek"(as quoted above)
has some rather positive associations. Not what you meant, I suspect.
But there could be a lesson in there for you.

Unfortunately, those who spout off most about freedom of speech are those
who abuse it most and should have their mouths stitched up, IMO.
Unfortunately, they're usually the ones who cite the courage of others as
their right to abuse their freedoms.

and once again you are wrong. I am retired and this is my hobby. I have my
car expenses paid for me and my ferry fares to/from the Isle of Wight.

A hobby is where you 'spend' money, not one where you intend to make it,
unlike your signature for your business.

We are not all tarred with the 'money making' brush

I will accept your apology.

a cheap response killed with even more disgust

Sacha you sink lower and lower
