    Good grief! JTEM loves to parade his ignorance, but this is going a bit
    far even for him. For his information, in the unlikely case that he
    wants to be educated, Darwin discussed exactly this question, and many
    people have done so since.

    I'm pretty sure that was just naked trolling. I don't think JTEM is
    really a creationist at all. It's nothing more than a cry for attention,
    a sort of perverse Loki post.

    Of course it's personal and subjective; I can only speak for
    myself, which I did. And FWIW, I don't even killfile all
    trolls, just the ones I consider not worth any of my time at
    all, not even the time to read the name of the author.

    Your comment above shows it's a matter of personal and subjective
    opinion of who is and is not a troll, and so NOT something to advocate
    as froup policy.

    Of course it's personal and subjective; I can only speak for
    myself, which I did. And FWIW, I don't even killfile all
    trolls, just the ones I consider not worth any of my time at
    all, not even the time to read the name of the author.


    When you name specific posters, as you do above, as you have done
    regularly in the past, the implication is others should killfile them
    also, to more effectively blind you from seeing what you don't want to
    see. If others continued to reply, then you would still see those
    replies, to tempt you to reply to their replies, as you do above, as
    you have done regularly in the past.

    joke/sarcasm/ troll/whatever. Then Erik Simpson asked for clarification,

    Bob simply replied staying strictly and narrowly in points that Erik

    Thank you for your opinion.

    words in the quoted text? Or do you deny that "Killfiles are your

    The last, of course. I "explicitly* encouraged nothing; I
    simply noted what my solution for that particular problem
    is.

    But even if I did so "encourage" their use, killfiles are
    there for a reason, many people use them, and the fact that
    you are opposed to them doesn't mean your reasons for doing
    so are valid, since at bottom they're simply your
    (subjective) preference.

    Or do you deny that by naming specific posters, you encourage others
    to killfile them? If so, do you deny that your killfile acting alone >doesn't prevent you from seeing replies from other posters to those
    posters you named?

    Of course not; I've even said so.

    Do you deny that as more posters follow your
    lead, you would see fewer replies to those posters you named?

    That would be nice.

    If you deny any of the above, then what other purpose do you have for >regularly posting "Killfiles are your friend (TM)" coupled with naming
    other posters you think are trolls, as you do above, as you have done
    in the past?

    Simply as a reminder; no one is obligated to follow my
    preferences, just as no one is obligated to follow yours.

    If you have no other purpose, then my expressed opinion is a reasoned
    and reasonable interpretation objectively based on your oft-posted
    words.

    My words are objectively reported; your interpretation of
    their effect on others is subjective. But as I said, that's
    no problem for me, since I don't share that interpretation.

    Bottom line: I think killfiles serve a useful purpose, and I
    don't think that ignoring idiots is a Bad Thing (TM). You
    disagree, and feel that not answering every idiotic
    pronouncement validates those pronouncements. Sobeit.

    For me, killfiles aren't an option, since I'm not using a newsreader that supports them.
    I prefer not having to worry about strange behavior by newsreaders in addtion to strange output from this group itself. The "virtual killfile" of simply skipping over known sources of pure (or nearly pure) nonsense is pretty
    easy. I don't have the view that it's necessary to respond to all the BS in the world, or even all the BS that shows up here, but if some warriors find

    Your comment above shows it's a matter of personal and subjective
    opinion of who is and is not a troll, and so NOT something to advocate
    as froup policy.

    Of course it's personal and subjective; I can only speak for
    myself, which I did. And FWIW, I don't even killfile all
    trolls, just the ones I consider not worth any of my time at
    all, not even the time to read the name of the author.


    When you name specific posters, as you do above, as you have done
    regularly in the past, the implication is others should killfile them also,
    to more effectively blind you from seeing what you don't want to
    see. If others continued to reply, then you would still see those
    replies, to tempt you to reply to their replies, as you do above, as
    you have done regularly in the past.

    Believe whatever you wish; that is *your* right to have
    subjective opinions.

    Thank you for your opinion.
    What do you think is my subjective opinion above? That you named
    specific posters, above and in the past? If so, do you deny your own
    words in the quoted text? Or do you deny that "Killfiles are your
    friend (TM)" doesn't *explicitly* encourage other posters to use
    killfiles?

    Opinions can be different. I (for example) saw it so:
    Bob Casanova told (using strange acronyms) to Robert Carnegie
    and Athel Cornish-Bowden that they have been trolled by JTEM's
    joke/sarcasm/ troll/whatever. Then Erik Simpson asked for clarification,
    and when clarity was achieved then thanked, and mentioned specific
    postersthat he has had difficulty of "keeping peace" with. After that
    Bob suggested to use killfiles and mentioned that two of said
    (by Erik) posters are in his killfile but third is not.

    Or do you deny that by naming specific posters, you encourage others
    to killfile them? If so, do you deny that your killfile acting alone
    doesn't prevent you from seeing replies from other posters to those
    posters you named? Do you deny that as more posters follow your
    lead, you would see fewer replies to those posters you named?

    If you deny any of the above, then what other purpose do you have for
    regularly posting "Killfiles are your friend (TM)" coupled with naming
    other posters you think are trolls, as you do above, as you have done
    in the past?

    If you have no other purpose, then my expressed opinion is a reasoned
    and reasonable interpretation objectively based on your oft-posted
    words.

    Bob simply replied staying strictly and narrowly in points that Erik
    raised. That is more reasonable interpretation (for me). Your
    interpretation takes Bob's post out of context, but YMMV.

    Thanks for the support. Jillery detests the use of
    killfiles, as she has made clear now and in the past, for
    reasons she believes are valid, an opinion to which she is
    fully entitled. I simply disagree.

    For me, killfiles aren't an option, since I'm not using a newsreader that supports them.
    I prefer not having to worry about strange behavior by newsreaders in addtion >to strange output from this group itself. The "virtual killfile" of simply >skipping over known sources of pure (or nearly pure) nonsense is pretty
    easy. I don't have the view that it's necessary to respond to all the BS in >the world, or even all the BS that shows up here, but if some warriors find >it important, that's OK too.

    Your choice is indeed valid, and I've used it (sort of) for
    those posters whose posts I read occasionally, but who
    generally post garbage; I can usually tell which category a
    particular post falls into. At the risk of drawing
    saturation fire, I'll even name one - Peter the Grate.

    As for the ongoing debates involving idiots I have
    killfiled, I use a method similar to yours for others'
    responses to them: If I open a post by someone whose posts
    *do* interest me, the header usually shows the poster to
    whom they're responding, and I generally filter on that
    without reading the post unless the subject itself interests
    me. As for what others may do, I agree with you; that's
    their business. Killfiles simply save me time.

    I used to just not read JTEM, Glenn, the Calmoron, and a few
    others, but I decided that killfiling them was more
    efficient, and if anyone took my lack of response to their
    idiocies as agreement that was their problem, not mine, and
    was a good indication of their intelligence.

    [unmarked snippage here, which the following comment
    addressed]


    Incorrect. I snipped nothing. It's trivially easy to prove it for
    yourself. Are you incapable of supporting your opinion without
    resorting to obvious misrepresentations?


    Thank you for your opinion.


    What do you think is my subjective opinion above? That you named
    specific posters, above and in the past? If so, do you deny your own
    words in the quoted text? Or do you deny that "Killfiles are your
    friend (TM)" doesn't *explicitly* encourage other posters to use
    killfiles?

    The last, of course. I "explicitly* encouraged nothing; I
    simply noted what my solution for that particular problem
    is.

    But even if I did so "encourage" their use, killfiles are
    there for a reason, many people use them, and the fact that
    you are opposed to them doesn't mean your reasons for doing
    so are valid, since at bottom they're simply your
    (subjective) preference.

    Or do you deny that by naming specific posters, you encourage others
    to killfile them? If so, do you deny that your killfile acting alone >>doesn't prevent you from seeing replies from other posters to those
    posters you named?

    Of course not; I've even said so.

    Do you deny that as more posters follow your
    lead, you would see fewer replies to those posters you named?

    That would be nice.

    If you deny any of the above, then what other purpose do you have for >>regularly posting "Killfiles are your friend (TM)" coupled with naming >>other posters you think are trolls, as you do above, as you have done
    in the past?

    Simply as a reminder; no one is obligated to follow my
    preferences, just as no one is obligated to follow yours.

    If you have no other purpose, then my expressed opinion is a reasoned
    and reasonable interpretation objectively based on your oft-posted
    words.

    My words are objectively reported; your interpretation of
    their effect on others is subjective. But as I said, that's
    no problem for me, since I don't share that interpretation.

    Bottom line: I think killfiles serve a useful purpose, and I
    don't think that ignoring idiots is a Bad Thing (TM). You
    disagree, and feel that not answering every idiotic
    pronouncement validates those pronouncements. Sobeit.

    Opinions can be different. I (for example) saw it so:

    Where and/or how did I even suggest otherwise?

    My opinion is that your interpretation of Bob's post was unreasonable.


    I understood your opinion. How do you think my interpretation
    suggests I think other's opinions can't be different?


    Your comments below misrepresent what I posted.

    Show where I skewed, misstated or lied about what you posted. Or what
    you mean by "misrepresent"? I only posted my opinion.


    You say you believe I took Casanova's comments out of context, but
    your belief is factually incorrect aka a misrepresentation.
    Despite Casanova's claim to the contrary, I snipped nothing of his
    post in my reply. Unlike Casanova, I based my expressed comments
    entirely on his expressed comments.

    OTOH Casanova's paraphrase of my expressed comments misrepresent what
    I actually wrote, and his paraphrase of my opinion is factually
    incorrect and a baseless creation of his imagination.

    And since you press the point, Casanova's advocacy of killfiles has
    nothing to do with anything Erik previously mentioned in this topic.
    To the contrary, it's something Casanova spontaneously injected into
    this thread. I challenge you to demonstrate to the contrary.

    Bob simply replied staying strictly and narrowly in points that Erik

    interpretation takes Bob's post out of context, but YMMV.

    Your comment above shows it's a matter of personal and subjective

    Of course it's personal and subjective; I can only speak for

    When you name specific posters, as you do above, as you have done

    My opinion is that your interpretation of Bob's post was unreasonable.

    I understood your opinion. How do you think my interpretation

    I did neither say nor think that your interpretation suggests that others opinions can't be different.

    Your comments below misrepresent what I posted.

    Show where I skewed, misstated or lied about what you posted. Or what
    you mean by "misrepresent"? I only posted my opinion.

    You say you believe I took Casanova's comments out of context, but
    your belief is factually incorrect aka a misrepresentation.

    Despite Casanova's claim to the contrary, I snipped nothing of his
    post in my reply. Unlike Casanova, I based my expressed comments
    entirely on his expressed comments.

    OTOH Casanova's paraphrase of my expressed comments misrepresent what
    I actually wrote, and his paraphrase of my opinion is factually
    incorrect and a baseless creation of his imagination.

    And since you press the point, Casanova's advocacy of killfiles has
    nothing to do with anything Erik previously mentioned in this topic.
    To the contrary, it's something Casanova spontaneously injected into
    this thread. I challenge you to demonstrate to the contrary.

    I can't demonstrate relations of Bob's opinions with anything as those
    are in his mind. I can only demonstrate facts that happened:
    ...
    Erik to Bob: "Ah! Thank you. I find it easier and easier not to
    feed JTEM. When and/if Peter and/or Glenn reappear, I will try hard
    to hold my peace with them as well."
    Bob to Erik: "Killfiles are Your Friends (TM). Both Glenn and
    JTEM are in mine, although Peter is not."

    You then took Bob's words only, erased all context and said those
    were meant as separate suggestion of ultimate "froup policy".
    Again I can not demonstrate what motivated you as those
    reasons are within your mind.


    Bob Casanova told (using strange acronyms) to Robert Carnegie

    Believe whatever you wish; that is *your* right to have
    subjective opinions.

    [unmarked snippage here, which the following comment
    addressed]


    Incorrect. I snipped nothing. It's trivially easy to prove it for
    yourself. Are you incapable of supporting your opinion without
    resorting to obvious misrepresentations?

    It certainly is. The exchange from my previous post:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Believe whatever you wish; that is *your* right to have
    subjective opinions.

    also, to more effectively blind you from seeing what you don't want to
    see. If others continued to reply, then you would still see those
    replies, to tempt you to reply to their replies, as you do above, as
    you have done regularly in the past.

    Thank you for your opinion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    The part which begins "also, to more" is the part you
    snipped,(or at least, it isn't in the above; maybe the
    gremlins ate it...)

    And since you apparently accept the rest of my response, I
    believe this issue is closed.

    Thank you for your opinion.


    What do you think is my subjective opinion above? That you named >>>specific posters, above and in the past? If so, do you deny your own >>>words in the quoted text? Or do you deny that "Killfiles are your
    friend (TM)" doesn't *explicitly* encourage other posters to use >>>killfiles?

    The last, of course. I "explicitly* encouraged nothing; I
    simply noted what my solution for that particular problem
    is.

    But even if I did so "encourage" their use, killfiles are
    there for a reason, many people use them, and the fact that
    you are opposed to them doesn't mean your reasons for doing
    so are valid, since at bottom they're simply your
    (subjective) preference.

    Or do you deny that by naming specific posters, you encourage others
    to killfile them? If so, do you deny that your killfile acting alone >>>doesn't prevent you from seeing replies from other posters to those >>>posters you named?

    Of course not; I've even said so.

    Do you deny that as more posters follow your
    lead, you would see fewer replies to those posters you named?

    That would be nice.

    If you deny any of the above, then what other purpose do you have for >>>regularly posting "Killfiles are your friend (TM)" coupled with naming >>>other posters you think are trolls, as you do above, as you have done
    in the past?

    Simply as a reminder; no one is obligated to follow my
    preferences, just as no one is obligated to follow yours.

    If you have no other purpose, then my expressed opinion is a reasoned
    and reasonable interpretation objectively based on your oft-posted
    words.

    My words are objectively reported; your interpretation of
    their effect on others is subjective. But as I said, that's
    no problem for me, since I don't share that interpretation.

    Bottom line: I think killfiles serve a useful purpose, and I
    don't think that ignoring idiots is a Bad Thing (TM). You
    disagree, and feel that not answering every idiotic
    pronouncement validates those pronouncements. Sobeit.

    Opinions can be different. I (for example) saw it so:

    I understood your opinion. How do you think my interpretation

    Bob to Erik: "Killfiles are Your Friends (TM). Both Glenn and

    You then took Bob's words only, erased all context


    Once again, I erased no context. Erik's previous comments don't
    inform Casanova's phrase "Killfiles are your friends (TM)". This
    quoted phrase the *only* context relevant to my point.

    Worse, you don't even try to "demonstrate" how you, Öö Tiib, think
    Erik's previous comments applies to my point. I corrected you before
    about this. Now you're just trolling.


    and said those
    were meant as separate suggestion of ultimate "froup policy".


    Your "ultimate" misrepresentation aside, you refer to my reasoned and reasonable conclusion based on Casanova's oft-expressed words to
    advocate that others use killfiles against expressly named posters but
    not others. At most, you arguing against me expressing my opinion.
    Apparently that's something you allow yourself and others but not me.
    I'm used to that, too.


    Again I can not demonstrate what motivated you as those

    You don't even try to demonstrate any reasons within *your* mind.

    Bob simply replied staying strictly and narrowly in points that Erik
    raised. That is more reasonable interpretation (for me). Your
    interpretation takes Bob's post out of context, but YMMV.


    You're doing a good job of demonstrating that I'm the only adult
    posting to this topic. Stop before you destroy what remaining
    credibility you have. Or is it your intent to spam this nonsense
    until others blame me for it? That's another common troll tactic.

    [unmarked snippage here, which the following comment
    addressed]

    Thank you for your opinion.


    What do you think is my subjective opinion above? That you named >>>specific posters, above and in the past? If so, do you deny your own >>>words in the quoted text? Or do you deny that "Killfiles are your
    friend (TM)" doesn't *explicitly* encourage other posters to use >>>killfiles?

    The last, of course. I "explicitly* encouraged nothing; I
    simply noted what my solution for that particular problem
    is.


    If that really was your intent, you would more clearly express it if
    you wrote "Killfiles are my friend (TM)". Even you should be able to >recognize the difference.


    But even if I did so "encourage" their use, killfiles are
    there for a reason, many people use them, and the fact that
    you are opposed to them doesn't mean your reasons for doing
    so are valid, since at bottom they're simply your
    (subjective) preference.


    You and your friends seem determined to misrepresent what I actually
    posted. I have become quite used to it.


    Or do you deny that by naming specific posters, you encourage others
    to killfile them? If so, do you deny that your killfile acting alone >>>doesn't prevent you from seeing replies from other posters to those >>>posters you named?

    Of course not; I've even said so.

    Do you deny that as more posters follow your
    lead, you would see fewer replies to those posters you named?

    That would be nice.

    If you deny any of the above, then what other purpose do you have for >>>regularly posting "Killfiles are your friend (TM)" coupled with naming >>>other posters you think are trolls, as you do above, as you have done
    in the past?

    Simply as a reminder; no one is obligated to follow my
    preferences, just as no one is obligated to follow yours.


    I neither expressed nor advocated any preferences. You did. There's
    a difference.


    If you have no other purpose, then my expressed opinion is a reasoned
    and reasonable interpretation objectively based on your oft-posted
    words.

    My words are objectively reported; your interpretation of
    their effect on others is subjective. But as I said, that's
    no problem for me, since I don't share that interpretation.

    Bottom line: I think killfiles serve a useful purpose, and I
    don't think that ignoring idiots is a Bad Thing (TM). You
    disagree, and feel that not answering every idiotic
    pronouncement validates those pronouncements. Sobeit.


    Maybe someday you will actually post an honest response to me, but
    today is not that day.

    I disagree, but your opinion is again noted. And as I'm not
    interested in further "You said" "No, *you* said!" worthless
    wastes of time, enjoy yourself with the trolls.

    In summary:

    Your injected reference to killfiles in this thread was a "worthless

    Your false claim that I did an unmarked snip above was a "worthless
    wastes of time".

    Your false claim that I object to killfiles was a "worthless wastes of

    Your false claim that my understanding of your comments is a
    subjective and personal belief was a "worthless wastes of time".

    That you blame me for your trolling behavior was a "worthless
    wastes of time".

    Feel free to continue to "wastes time" parodying yourself.

    Your comment above shows it's a matter of personal and subjective

    Of course it's personal and subjective; I can only speak for

    Believe whatever you wish; that is *your* right to have
    subjective opinions.

    Thank you for your opinion.
    What do you think is my subjective opinion above? That you named
    specific posters, above and in the past? If so, do you deny your own
    words in the quoted text? Or do you deny that "Killfiles are your >> >> >> friend (TM)" doesn't *explicitly* encourage other posters to use
    killfiles?

    Opinions can be different. I (for example) saw it so:

    Where and/or how did I even suggest otherwise?

    My opinion is that your interpretation of Bob's post was unreasonable. >>
    I understood your opinion. How do you think my interpretation
    suggests I think other's opinions can't be different?

    I did neither say nor think that your interpretation suggests that others >opinions can't be different.

    So "opinions can be different" was just a mindless truism aka
    pointless noise? Got it.

    Bob agreed that it is his personal opinion that killfiles are helpful tool
    and did nowhere say that not using the tool (like I and Erik do) is wrong.
    So I did not feel that saying that people can have different perfectly
    valid opinions about same thing is mindless noise.

    Your comments below misrepresent what I posted.

    Show where I skewed, misstated or lied about what you posted. Or what
    you mean by "misrepresent"? I only posted my opinion.

    You say you believe I took Casanova's comments out of context, but
    your belief is factually incorrect aka a misrepresentation.

    Despite Casanova's claim to the contrary, I snipped nothing of his
    post in my reply. Unlike Casanova, I based my expressed comments
    entirely on his expressed comments.

    OTOH Casanova's paraphrase of my expressed comments misrepresent what
    I actually wrote, and his paraphrase of my opinion is factually
    incorrect and a baseless creation of his imagination.

    And since you press the point, Casanova's advocacy of killfiles has
    nothing to do with anything Erik previously mentioned in this topic.
    To the contrary, it's something Casanova spontaneously injected into
    this thread. I challenge you to demonstrate to the contrary.

    I can't demonstrate relations of Bob's opinions with anything as those
    are in his mind. I can only demonstrate facts that happened:
    Yes, please demonstrate facts.
    ...
    Erik to Bob: "Ah! Thank you. I find it easier and easier not to
    feed JTEM. When and/if Peter and/or Glenn reappear, I will try hard
    to hold my peace with them as well."
    Bob to Erik: "Killfiles are Your Friends (TM). Both Glenn and
    JTEM are in mine, although Peter is not."

    You then took Bob's words only, erased all context

    Once again, I erased no context. Erik's previous comments don't
    inform Casanova's phrase "Killfiles are your friends (TM)". This
    quoted phrase the *only* context relevant to my point.

    The physical fact remains that you erased all context that is not misrepresentation.
    Erik mentioned difficulties not to reply to certain posters and suggesting
    a tool to him made perfect sense to me (despite I don't use it). Also why
    you talk so lot about reiterating precisely same set of names as Erik
    if "Killfiles are your friends (TM)" was the *only* context relevant to
    your point?

    Worse, you don't even try to "demonstrate" how you, Öö Tiib, think
    Erik's previous comments applies to my point. I corrected you before
    about this. Now you're just trolling.

    I can not even understand what difficulties you face to see the clear
    relation.

    and said those
    were meant as separate suggestion of ultimate "froup policy".
    Your "ultimate" misrepresentation aside, you refer to my reasoned and reasonable conclusion based on Casanova's oft-expressed words to
    advocate that others use killfiles against expressly named posters but
    not others. At most, you arguing against me expressing my opinion. Apparently that's something you allow yourself and others but not me.
    I'm used to that, too.

    And again Bob Casanova described his killfile usage pattern in context
    of posters that Erik named. He did not list all his killfile contents or something.

    Again I can not demonstrate what motivated you as those
    reasons are within your mind.
    You don't even try to demonstrate any reasons within *your* mind.
    Bob Casanova told (using strange acronyms) to Robert Carnegie
    and Athel Cornish-Bowden that they have been trolled by JTEM's
    joke/sarcasm/ troll/whatever. Then Erik Simpson asked for clarification,
    and when clarity was achieved then thanked, and mentioned specific
    postersthat he has had difficulty of "keeping peace" with. After that >> >> >Bob suggested to use killfiles and mentioned that two of said
    (by Erik) posters are in his killfile but third is not.

    Or do you deny that by naming specific posters, you encourage others
    to killfile them? If so, do you deny that your killfile acting alone
    doesn't prevent you from seeing replies from other posters to those >> >> >> posters you named? Do you deny that as more posters follow your
    lead, you would see fewer replies to those posters you named?

    If you deny any of the above, then what other purpose do you have for
    regularly posting "Killfiles are your friend (TM)" coupled with naming
    other posters you think are trolls, as you do above, as you have done
    in the past?

    If you have no other purpose, then my expressed opinion is a reasoned
    and reasonable interpretation objectively based on your oft-posted >> >> >> words.

    Bob simply replied staying strictly and narrowly in points that Erik >> >> >raised. That is more reasonable interpretation (for me). Your
    interpretation takes Bob's post out of context, but YMMV.

    You're doing a good job of demonstrating that I'm the only adult
    posting to this topic. Stop before you destroy what remaining
    credibility you have. Or is it your intent to spam this nonsense
    until others blame me for it? That's another common troll tactic.

    Labeling other people (me included) and their words with various
    negative adjectives is your habit. I do not see it as "adult".

    Except that no one, including myself, disagreed with that opinion.
    This is why your comment is pointless noise.

    Once again you troll a factually incorrect Casanova claim. I have
    *zero* objection to people using killfiles. I have used them myself,
    both virtually as Erik mentions and in fact as Casanova mentions.

    Instead, my point in this thread is about Casanova's repeated advocacy
    of using killfiles. There's a difference. Not sure how even you
    *still* don't understand this.

    I acknowledge that noting your pointless noise hurts your feelings. As
    a constructive suggestion, consider stop trolling your pointless
    noise. Until then:

    Incorrect. I snipped nothing. It's trivially easy to prove it for >>>>>>yourself. Are you incapable of supporting your opinion without >>>>>>resorting to obvious misrepresentations?

    It certainly is. The exchange from my previous post:

    The part which begins "also, to more" is the part you

    OK, I went back and checked, and you are correct.

    From the above, I intended to split your comment and respond
    to each part separately, as shown here:


    No need to spam your comments; the copy above proves your >>>misrepresentation is factually incorrect, as my reply below shows:

    Feel free to ignore this correction also. That's what trolls do. >>>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    As I predicted, you conveniently ignored the above correction. Quelle >>>surprise.


    Somehow I screwed it up and left everything in your post as
    it was, with both my comments following. Mea culpa.


    You did exactly as you described above, which obfuscated my comments.
    And I removed your obfuscation by restoring the original format of my >>>comments. Don't like that I removed your obfuscation of my
    comments? Then don't obfuscate my comments. Not sure how even you
    can't figure that out.

    In summary:

    Your injected reference to killfiles in this thread was a "worthless >>>wastes of time".

    Your false claim that I did an unmarked snip above was a "worthless >>>wastes of time".

    Your false claim that I object to killfiles was a "worthless wastes of >>>time".

    Your false claim that my understanding of your comments is a
    subjective and personal belief was a "worthless wastes of time".

    That you blame me for your trolling behavior was a "worthless
    wastes of time".

    Feel free to continue to "wastes time" parodying yourself.

    Thank you for graciously accepting my apology, and my
    acceptance of culpability in this instance.


    You're welcome. Considering the other things for which you didn't
    apologize or accept culpability, it's the best I could do.

    Since I have no culpability, other than in your subjective
    opinion, for anything else I wrote in this thread, that
    seems fair.

    When you name specific posters, as you do above, as you have done
    regularly in the past, the implication is others should killfile them also,
    to more effectively blind you from seeing what you don't want to
    see. If others continued to reply, then you would still see those
    replies, to tempt you to reply to their replies, as you do above, as
    you have done regularly in the past.

    Thank you for your opinion.
    What do you think is my subjective opinion above? That you named >> >> >> >> specific posters, above and in the past? If so, do you deny your own

    Opinions can be different. I (for example) saw it so:

    Where and/or how did I even suggest otherwise?

    My opinion is that your interpretation of Bob's post was unreasonable.

    I understood your opinion. How do you think my interpretation
    suggests I think other's opinions can't be different?

    I did neither say nor think that your interpretation suggests that others
    opinions can't be different.

    So "opinions can be different" was just a mindless truism aka
    pointless noise? Got it.

    Bob agreed that it is his personal opinion that killfiles are helpful tool >and did nowhere say that not using the tool (like I and Erik do) is wrong. >So I did not feel that saying that people can have different perfectly >valid opinions about same thing is mindless noise.
    Except that no one, including myself, disagreed with that opinion.
    This is why your comment is pointless noise.

    Once again you troll a factually incorrect Casanova claim. I have
    *zero* objection to people using killfiles. I have used them myself,
    both virtually as Erik mentions and in fact as Casanova mentions.

    Instead, my point in this thread is about Casanova's repeated advocacy
    of using killfiles. There's a difference. Not sure how even you
    *still* don't understand this.

    I acknowledge that noting your pointless noise hurts your feelings. As
    a constructive suggestion, consider stop trolling your pointless
    noise. Until then:

    So writing true sentence with what no one disagrees in text was
    horrible troll and offense. That is literally ridiculous. :)

    When I disappeared from talk.origins a few years ago (on account of a
    technical problem that I couldn't solve) I had jillery in my killfile.
    I don't remember why, and when I came back to life I reversed that
    policy. Probably it had to do with these constant attacks on everyone
    else. I think the time may have come to again stop reading jillery's
    posts for a while.

    That you blame me for your trolling behavior was a "worthless
    wastes of time".

    Feel free to continue to "wastes time" parodying yourself.

    Thank you for graciously accepting my apology, and my
    acceptance of culpability in this instance.


    You're welcome. Considering the other things for which you didn't >>>apologize or accept culpability, it's the best I could do.

    Since I have no culpability, other than in your subjective
    opinion, for anything else I wrote in this thread, that
    seems fair.


    So you have no problem with posting strawmen and hijacking topics and
    making up facts and blaming me for it? Ok, Karen.

    Your opinions regarding the appropriate inferences to be
    taken from what I posted do not define reality, but please
    elucidate exactly where in this thread you imagine I did
    those. Thanks.

    Oh, and BTW, and at the risk of again being accused of
    spamming, I dug a bit further into that issue of snippage,
    and discovered that I did indeed post as I intended; the
    exchange is here:
    (Message-ID: <[email protected]>)

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    When you name specific posters, as you do above, as you have done
    regularly in the past, the implication is others should killfile them

    Believe whatever you wish; that is *your* right to have
    subjective opinions.

    also, to more effectively blind you from seeing what you don't want to
    see. If others continued to reply, then you would still see those
    replies, to tempt you to reply to their replies, as you do above, as
    you have done regularly in the past.

    Thank you for your opinion.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    However, when I got your further response it had been
    changed to this (includes my further reply):
    (Message-ID: <[email protected]>)

    [unmarked snippage here, which the following comment
    addressed]

    Thank you for your opinion.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    So your original post was mysteriously recombined, and both
    parts of my reply now appeared below it, which is why I
    thought part of your original reply had been snipped. I
    suppose I still owe you an apology for failing to read more
    closely, but we all make mistakes.

    Your comment above shows it's a matter of personal and subjective
    opinion of who is and is not a troll, and so NOT something to advocate
    as froup policy.

    Of course it's personal and subjective; I can only speak for
    myself, which I did. And FWIW, I don't even killfile all
    trolls, just the ones I consider not worth any of my time at
    all, not even the time to read the name of the author.

    I would hold that killfiling or ignoring deserving trolls can rise to the
    level of intersubjectivity if we agree on the same and shared disdain
    coupled with a policy of withholding reply may yield wider benefits to
    others. Holding that might also have a negative effect of an endless
    cascade of someone taking very vocal issue with such holding. I say the benefits way outweigh the risk of being brow beaten about ignoring trolls.
    That would never happen here thank goodness.

    I have zero expectation of you or any other poster ever apologizing to
    me for anything. Instead, what you "owe" the froup is an apology for repeatedly claiming I did something I did not do, as well as falsely
    claiming I opposed the use of killfiles, as well as evading the issue
    of you regularly advocating the use of killfiles against named
    individuals. Apparently your mileage varies.

    But your willfully stupid troll has accomplished its expected outcome,
    to raise the ire of the mob against me. Given past history, I expect
    you and the other trolls will congratulate each other over it. I'm
    used to that, too.

    Believe whatever you wish; that is *your* right to have
    subjective opinions.

    Thank you for your opinion.
    What do you think is my subjective opinion above? That you named
    specific posters, above and in the past? If so, do you deny your own
    words in the quoted text? Or do you deny that "Killfiles are your
    friend (TM)" doesn't *explicitly* encourage other posters to use
    killfiles?

    Opinions can be different. I (for example) saw it so:
    Bob Casanova told (using strange acronyms) to Robert Carnegie
    and Athel Cornish-Bowden that they have been trolled by JTEM's
    joke/sarcasm/ troll/whatever. Then Erik Simpson asked for clarification, >>> and when clarity was achieved then thanked, and mentioned specific
    postersthat he has had difficulty of "keeping peace" with. After that
    Bob suggested to use killfiles and mentioned that two of said
    (by Erik) posters are in his killfile but third is not.

    Or do you deny that by naming specific posters, you encourage others
    to killfile them? If so, do you deny that your killfile acting alone
    doesn't prevent you from seeing replies from other posters to those
    posters you named? Do you deny that as more posters follow your
    lead, you would see fewer replies to those posters you named?

    If you deny any of the above, then what other purpose do you have for
    regularly posting "Killfiles are your friend (TM)" coupled with naming >>>> other posters you think are trolls, as you do above, as you have done
    in the past?

    If you have no other purpose, then my expressed opinion is a reasoned
    and reasonable interpretation objectively based on your oft-posted
    words.

    Bob simply replied staying strictly and narrowly in points that Erik
    raised. That is more reasonable interpretation (for me). Your
    interpretation takes Bob's post out of context, but YMMV.

    Thanks for the support. Jillery detests the use of
    killfiles, as she has made clear now and in the past, for
    reasons she believes are valid, an opinion to which she is
    fully entitled. I simply disagree.

    - Isaac Asimov

    For me, killfiles aren't an option, since I'm not using a newsreader that supports them.
    I prefer not having to worry about strange behavior by newsreaders in addtion to strange output from this group itself. The "virtual killfile" of simply skipping over known sources of pure (or nearly pure) nonsense is pretty
    easy. I don't have the view that it's necessary to respond to all the BS in the world, or even all the BS that shows up here, but if some warriors find it important, that's OK too.

    I merely flag JTEM and equally obnoxious Beasley as pink and ignore or
    delete posts/threads that appear as that fitting color. PN is grey (not a
    dig at his age). I am green if mentioned by anyone. My reader can mark as
    read and delete read, but that winds up nuking stuff I’ve read and want to come back to later. Color coding keeps me usually from even clicking on the pink offenders unless I’m really bored. When I see a grey/green combo I
    know something is up.

    I guess color coding posters to ignore is tantamount to being in legion
    with the devil or a strange bedfellow or whatever the fuck…don’t care. Not going down that tit for tat triggerfest rabbit hole of futility…again.

    JTEM and Beasley have repeatedly shown themselves to be worthless wastes of screen space. Yes I named them. Hi pinkies.

    Bob agreed that it is his personal opinion that killfiles are helpful tool and did nowhere say that not using the tool (like I and Erik do) is wrong.
    So I did not feel that saying that people can have different perfectly
    valid opinions about same thing is mindless noise.

    Bob might encourage others to use killfiles in a way others agree with and
    if certain posters here are more commonly targeted by such uses of
    killfiles or just ignoring the posters existence (which I should do better
    at myself in the case of one of these egregious jackass trolls), that would
    be a very horrible thing because every word uttered is sacred and cannot be ignored or aborted. Using condoms against the words of other posters
    violates Catholic doctrine or something and we can’t have that.

    So I suppose Bob should keep his killfile contents to himself or he’s encouraging birth control or abortion or some other great evil against the worded world.

    I say encourage such word condom usage is a great means to prevent trollish social diseases from spreading too greatly.

    Your comment above shows it's a matter of personal and subjective
    opinion of who is and is not a troll, and so NOT something to advocate
    as froup policy.

    Of course it's personal and subjective; I can only speak for
    myself, which I did. And FWIW, I don't even killfile all
    trolls, just the ones I consider not worth any of my time at
    all, not even the time to read the name of the author.

    Bob might encourage others to use killfiles in a way others agree with and

    You're welcome. Considering the other things for which you didn't >>>>>apologize or accept culpability, it's the best I could do.

    Since I have no culpability, other than in your subjective
    opinion, for anything else I wrote in this thread, that
    seems fair.


    So you have no problem with posting strawmen and hijacking topics and >>>making up facts and blaming me for it? Ok, Karen.

    Your opinions regarding the appropriate inferences to be
    taken from what I posted do not define reality, but please
    elucidate exactly where in this thread you imagine I did
    those. Thanks.


    As I have already done so, would it do any good to do it again?


    Oh, and BTW, and at the risk of again being accused of
    spamming, I dug a bit further into that issue of snippage,
    and discovered that I did indeed post as I intended; the
    exchange is here:

    The references to posts snipped; that's becoming
    characteristic of you.

    That's what I said, and you denied.

    Cite? Full exchange with message IDs please. It's not that I
    don't trust you, but I don't trust you.

    So your original post was mysteriously recombined,


    Nothing mysterious about it, as I previously explained it, as you well
    know.

    No, I don't. Cite?

    Your assumption that I "know" something is indicative of
    nothing good about your mental state.

    and both
    parts of my reply now appeared below it, which is why I
    thought part of your original reply had been snipped. I
    suppose I still owe you an apology for failing to read more
    closely, but we all make mistakes.


    I have zero expectation of you or any other poster ever apologizing to
    me for anything. Instead, what you "owe" the froup is an apology for >repeatedly claiming I did something I did not do, as well as falsely
    claiming I opposed the use of killfiles, as well as evading the issue
    of you regularly advocating the use of killfiles against named
    individuals. Apparently your mileage varies.

    But your willfully stupid troll has accomplished its expected outcome,
    to raise the ire of the mob against me. Given past history, I expect
    you and the other trolls will congratulate each other over it. I'm
    used to that, too.

    You have an inflated opinion of your significance and
    importance. You should work on that.

    Your "actual intentions" is to mindlessly troll and post asinine
    accusations and tell everybody what a terrible person you think I am

    expect you or your mob ever to acknowledge.

    You have exercised your spleen long enough to satisfy even your
    inner-child for awhile. Time to act like an adult instead of aping
    Trump.

    I don’t think you’re a terrible person. You do tend to have some quirks of hypersensitivity and persistence. You do make valuable contributions when you’re not doing that. We all have things to work on.

    I don’t think you’re a terrible person. You do tend to have some quirks of
    hypersensitivity and persistence. You do make valuable contributions when you’re not doing that. We all have things to work on.

    Not sure why you throw yourself under the bus. For the record, I
    haven't said or implied you started "this entire row". To the
    contrary, I made it explicitly clear multiple times that my objection
    was to Casanova's repeated advocacy of killfiles, and not his personal
    use of them, nor anybody else's use of them.

    My post above is a direct reply to Casanova's direct reply to me, and
    so what you and Hemidactylus think about it doesn't matter, except to
    the degree that you and he have chosen to pile your own irrelevant and
    baseless negative opinions about me on top of Casanova's, to create
    only the latest of many T.O. mindless mobs I have endured.

    I don't think you're a "terrible person", I simply think
    your an idiot.


    This is another classic troll comment, to make a pointless pedantic distinction. Your choice de jour of asinine accusations don't alter
    the nature of your mindless troll. To the contrary, this only
    emphasizes it.

    In a similar spirit, it's "you're". Ok, idiot?


    And what "accusation" did I post? Unless, of
    course, your accusations of me are spurious...?


    This is another classic troll comment, to pretend you don't do what
    you do, and instead accuse me of it. Just one of the many accusations
    you have posted in just this topic is still preserved in the quoted
    text above. To refresh your convenient amnesia:


    "It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't trust you."


    I suppose you might pedantically claim that's not an accusation, but
    merely your sincere opinion. Either way, it is an unambiguously
    negative remark against me personally. It is also baseless and
    completely irrelevant to anything anybody said in this topic aka
    mindless made-up crap aka a classic troll comment.


    You have exercised your spleen long enough to satisfy even your
    inner-child for awhile. Time to act like an adult instead of aping
    Trump.


    Apparently your mileage varies.

    In this topic I have corrected Casanova et al several times about

    makes their misrepresentations outright lies, yet another common troll
    tactic.

    I will type this real slow so even a mindless mob can understand: I

    I commented about Casanova's repeated advocacy of killfiles.
    Apparently that's a difference the mob is proud to ignore.

    Your comment above illustrates how you enable trolls. What you
    characterize as a "short fuse" is instead a rational response to
    unrelenting, repeated, and purposeful lighting the fuse by those you
    enable, a point you, Erik Simpson, have repeatedly ignored, to your
    discredit. Your willful blindness puts the lie to your act as a
    reasonable adult.

    Was Casanova advocating the *use* of killfilles?

    He said from a couple posts: “Killfiles are Your Friends (TM). Both Glenn

    “…I don't even killfile all trolls, just the ones I consider not worth any of my time at all, not even the time to read the name of the author.”

    And you responded to the above:
    “When you name specific posters, as you do above, as you have done
    regularly in the past, the implication is others should killfile them also,
    to more effectively blind you from seeing what you don't want to see.”

    Whether or not Bob was advocating the use of killfiles, “the implication is others should killfile them also” sounds at least implicitly about killfile usage *per se*. If others use killifiles to keep Bob from seeing trolls, thats…usage. So you were talking about a collective use of killfiles, where Bob may have been advocating for that way or means of using killfiles for building herd immunity.

    More accurately, I was talking about the advocacy of the collective
    use of killfiles. Your failure to include "advocacy" in your
    description illustrates the collective willful blindness from which
    the mob suffers.

    I acknowledge Casanova may wish to advocate some other nuanced point
    different from what I described. If what I described was in error,
    and had Casanova chose to elaborate on that error, this topic might
    have developed into something more interesting.

    But that's not how this topic evolved. Instead, Casanova chose to
    exercise his inner child and lie about what I actually wrote and what
    I actually believe. This suggests that what I described is closer to
    what Casanova actually means than he's prepared to admit.

    Whether collective use of killfiles is a means of building herd
    immunity, is an arguable point that deserves a separate topic. To
    discuss it in this topic would dishonestly obfuscate the willful
    stupidity without acknowledging it.

    and had Casanova chose to elaborate on that error, this topic might
    have developed into something more interesting.

    But that's not how this topic evolved. Instead, Casanova chose to
    exercise his inner child and lie about what I actually wrote and what
    I actually believe. This suggests that what I described is closer to
    what Casanova actually means than he's prepared to admit.

    Whether collective use of killfiles is a means of building herd
    immunity, is an arguable point that deserves a separate topic. To
    discuss it in this topic would dishonestly obfuscate the willful
    stupidity without acknowledging it.

    But Bob if advocating in such a way is a vaxxer. I prefer, due to downsides
    of my available vaccine, natural immunity built from direct exposure to the pathogens. If I notice the trollogen via pink flags I can merely ignore
    them. Advocating against widespread use of vaccines or preemptive pink
    flags would be…

    Or maybe killfiles work more like masks.

    Now there's a classic troll comment. Thank you for again showing your
    actual intentions.

    My "actual intentions", like yours on numerous occasions,
    are to ask for evidence supporting your assertions. So I
    guess we're both trolls; good of you to admit it.


    Your "actual intentions" is to mindlessly troll and post asinine
    accusations and tell everybody what a terrible person you think I am >>> >> > and blame me for it, as you do above. There's a difference I don't
    expect you or your mob ever to acknowledge.

    You have exercised your spleen long enough to satisfy even your
    inner-child for awhile. Time to act like an adult instead of aping
    Trump.

    I don�t think you�re a terrible person. You do tend to have some quirks of
    hypersensitivity and persistence. You do make valuable contributions when
    you�re not doing that. We all have things to work on.

    I'll second that. It seems my remarks may have set off this entire row, in which case,
    I'm sorry that happened. Wasn't my intention.

    It also wasn't your fault. Mention of killfiles seems to be
    a hotbutton for some; she's commented negatively on their
    use in the past.


    In this topic I have corrected Casanova et al several times about
    this. They continue to misrepresent what I actually wrote. That
    makes their misrepresentations outright lies, yet another common troll >tactic.

    I will type this real slow so even a mindless mob can understand: I
    made zero comments in this topic about the use of killfiles. Instead,
    I commented about Casanova's repeated advocacy of killfiles.
    Apparently that's a difference the mob is proud to ignore.

    And I will type this *really* slowly, so even you can
    understand: "In the past" is not limited to this topic.

    In my reply to her I unfairly called her an idiot. She
    isn't,


    Is that supposed to be an apology?

    No, a correction. Perhaps you could learn the difference.

    but she does seem to have a bit of paranoia, as the
    above comments make clear: "... tell everybody what a
    terrible person you think I am and blame me for it, as you
    do above." Since it's pretty clear from the text that I did
    no such thing, draw your own conclusions.

    Indeed. A short fuse is apparent.


    Your comment above illustrates how you enable trolls. What you
    characterize as a "short fuse" is instead a rational response to
    unrelenting, repeated, and purposeful lighting the fuse by those you
    enable, a point you, Erik Simpson, have repeatedly ignored, to your >discredit. Your willful blindness puts the lie to your act as a
    reasonable adult.

    When multiple individuals observe a trait, perhaps you might
    want to self-examine. Or is it simply "Oh, look! Everyone is
    out of step except Johnny!"? Or in this case, jillery.

    Not sure why you throw yourself under the bus. For the record, I
    haven't said or implied you started "this entire row". To the
    contrary, I made it explicitly clear multiple times that my objection
    was to Casanova's repeated advocacy of killfiles, and not his personal
    use of them, nor anybody else's use of them.

    My post above is a direct reply to Casanova's direct reply to me, and
    so what you and Hemidactylus think about it doesn't matter, except to
    the degree that you and he have chosen to pile your own irrelevant and baseless negative opinions about me on top of Casanova's, to create
    only the latest of many T.O. mindless mobs I have endured.

    Not exactly the friendliest advice. In fact, it sounds pretty hostile. You frequently don't seem to realize what you sound like and come out swinging
    if you're called on it. If this is "mob piling on", so be it.

    I haven't been paying any particular attention to this thread but with
    an idle hour to spend, I decided to browse through it and see just
    how much a discussion can degenerate.[1] What struck me as really
    weird is that that comment is typical of the sort of paranoia that
    Nyikos regularly exhibits. I have commented before about the
    Burton-Taylor syndrome.

    [1] In the interest of transparency, I should point out that I am not
    seeing Jillery's posts, only the replies to her, as *shock, horror*, I
    have her killfiled.

    Yes; why wouldn't it? Of course, either saying something or

    have inferences. This episode of the seemingly-perpetual
    brouhaha started when an inference (incorrectly, IMHO) was
    assigned to a comment I made regarding my use of killfiles.

    You just quotemined me, extracting my comments completely out of
    context. They were a direct reply to one of your first posts. In
    that post, you, Erik Simpson, explicitly suggested you would not
    respond to someone who was described in that post as an ignorant
    troll. My comment noted that a non-response to nonsense is
    indistinguishable from a non-response to sense. That's a truism to
    show how your non-response can as easily be interpreted as agreement
    with that nonsense.

    Unless you're criticizing me for affirming your own previously
    expressed opinion, I fail to see how you regard as hostile to you this objectively neutral truism. My experience is nobody in a reasonable
    frame of mind would have done so. To the contrary, my experience is
    somebody who reacts as you describe yourself has in your own words "a
    short fuse", and specifically self-ignited.

    I charitably assume you somehow misinterpreted the phrase "willful
    stupidity" to apply to you and/or Casanova. However, a plain
    understanding of my comments in context clearly shows the phrase
    applies to the words of the poster to whom you previously objected.

    If you still believe your comments above are a reasonable response to
    my comments which you quotemined, then I look forward to your
    explanation how you, Erik Simpson interpret my comments you quoted as "hostile".

    And since you mention it, what I "seem to fail to realize", is more a consequence of your biased reading of my posts, and your selective
    reading of the posts to which I reply, as your comments above amply demonstrate. And yes, I fully realize that you might take this as
    hostile.
