The ones that are ignored are different sensations and typically

you ignore.
Yes, it is, because it is no more reliable than any other sensation.
DON'T CONTRADICT ME. I FLY PLANES AND YOU PLAY VIDEO GAMES.
Congratulations, now you look like an arrogant asshole.
Of course so does MX, but at least he's an *entertaining* arrogant
asshole.
I find it to be tremendously ironic that these recent monster threads
revolving around MX have led me to killfile several people who respond
to him but not to killfile him. His stuff is frequently worth reading,
if only for the entertainment value, whereas the responses are
frequently acidic and worthless.
If you get to the point where you're typing in all caps, or having to
wave your certificates in his face, take a moment to step back and
think about whether your reply adds any value to the group. MX's
destructiveness comes only from the kind of replies he is able to make
people post. If we could all avoid posting that kind of reply, his
destructiveness will recede to "merely" being an obnoxious poster.
If you could get everyone to stop posting to him it'd be a usenet first.
