My killfile has plenty of folks in it and room for plenty more. It
amazes me that the NG is still dealing with this petty annoyance.
Have I earned a spot in other's killfiles? Who cares? Life will go
on.
While I agree with you, I'm still deeply saddened by the turn of
events. There was a time here when we were all friends -- and I mean
*all* friends. The list of names of great posters who have moved on
to other forums thanks to the trolls is way too long.
But, everything in life is cyclical, and I expect this is just an
especially deep downturn. Everyone and every thing changes, and
(sooner or later) Bertie, Maxwell, and (to a lesser extent) MX will
move on and leave the group in peace. Or, perhaps the migration to
web-based forums will be complete, and this group will simply
dissolve.
Heck, even when this group was (IMHO) great, there were posters here
lamenting the "day AOL opened up the newsgroups" as if that was the
utter ruin of this group. It's ironic how insignificant that event
turned out to be, in the long run.

Nonsense. You and your ilk used to control this group, just like
Bertie and his ilk controls it today. It's always been a struggle of
controlling personalities. Until EVERYONE can learn to make room for
EVERYONE ELSE'S opinion, the forum will suffer.
Too many chiefs and not enough indians, too many teachers and not
enough students.
As long as everyone as a group embraces people that don't treat others
with respect, the entire group will suffer.
Yeeh, right buttboi.
