The OP was not a critic, it was a plea. My response was not intended to
to be a critic on to worthiness of the plea, just the effectiveness of
it. Any one posting any message that says something like... "Could
everybody PLEASE not post this that or the other thing?", would have
received a similar response from me. If you think any such plea will
have any effect on posters, you are not just delusional, you are
pathetically delusional.


His plea is complaint, and with others it is an irritant. Irritants
are not necessarily without value, or 'delusional'. And your
overstated reply iis also intended an irritant, though in the opposite
direction; against those most would say are quite sane, as of this
moment.

Yours worries me.


'Delusional', huh? Looks like a spit couched in hateful cynicism;
would be easily seen, if it weren't for the lack of clear motive. So
what is it? Just plain evil?

Cynicism? More like realism, such pathetic pleas will never be useful.

Realistic? Psychosis are real. Pleading with them is likely
pathetic. But removing them is a reasonable goal. It is the one
having most realistic chances of success -- unless 'the law' makes it
'unrealistic'.

He is pleading for 'the law', (whatever that might be), to remove the
disturbance. You consider that delusional and pathetic. So, what?
You defend the disturbance in apparent hate of 'the law'. That is
pathetic.


His postings are spamming up this group to no end.

While the posts you are referring to are undesirable, I'm not sure
"spam" is the right word for what you are talking about.

You're so discerning. So what is the right word?

I don't know but if you label every piece of undesirable email-type of
communication spam, you devalue the meaning of the word.

That is a strange statement, almost a twisted defense of spam.

"Instruction"?
Little is resolved in his threads.

Again my previous post didn't even attempt to address the worthiness of
the posts by the subject of this thread. However I will say that while
his contributions seem to be pretty worthless, I have learned from some
of the other posts in those treads.

His threads exercise the mind, forcing it to run in circles,
eventually wearing paths too easily found again. I prefer my paths
more disciplined. The concepts gained are more appreciated, a method
of learning becomes a sought-after discipline. It affects my view of
the world, and my neighbors.

Msxmanic's preoccupation with a 'default' trim setting found nothing.
Nothing was expected. After study, my conclusion is that he actually
knew that all along, but enjoyed the game with those he knows have
almost no choice but to attempt to teach. If he didn't know it, then
the demon that posseses him does. The value added by instruction,
(the 'food' as one poster called it), becomes bait into a trap.

Generally, the group's attempt is to overwhelm the thread with a valid
perspective. But Msxmanic is very persistent, refusing to let go of
the 'spolight'.


Some just like to argue, so they have Mxsmanic. Some like to watch
others argue, so they have him & this news group. The rest of us get
little use out of that parasitic relationship.

Then you only have one logical recourse, ignore any such postings. No
other course of action (short of killing someone or physically
destroying their ability to post) will have any effect and once again if
you think . . . never mind I think I made my point already.

By expressing my thoughts as if it were your excretion?
