Holy crap, Jim -- what the hell was THAT about?

No, but ANYONE who supports the continued postings of M deserve all the ire
I can throw his way.

That's all. Simple.

The truth is without M the whole thing wouldn't be as fun. Fjukwit or
not. Anyway I left him and the other simmers a missive
on .aviation.simulation. Questions for them, for once.

I don't agree, and in a BIG way.

I don't come here for conflict. I don't come here to listen to stupidity.
I don't come here to witness mental sickness conditions.

If you want that, go to big time wrestling shows. I'm sure there are other
places where you can witness senseless arguments. This is not the place.

Simply put, this is a place for people to talk about flying, and aspects of
aviation. The current crop of loons are not interested in serious
discussion of such. Neither are the people that egg them on. There should
be no place for that, here.

The quality of the discussions here has diminished by a factor of ten. So
have the quantity of people with real experiences to give input to the
discussions.

If this continues much longer, the group will be without value. Some would
say, perhaps rightfully so, that it already has fallen to that point.

If you want conflict and see worms getting squished, please go elsewhere,
and leave the discussion of aviation to people that prefer to discuss
aviation, and not loons and kooks.

I agree 100% Jim. But I have a simple solution.

1. Use a newsreader like "Windows Mail" or "Outlook Express". As much as I
liked the search powers of Google Groups, their lack of any sort of
filtering reduced this newsgroup to chaos. I have therefore abandoned GGs.

2. With three keystrokes, you can create a killfile that utterly eliminates
every post by anyone you so designate as persona non grata.

I was two steps out the door from this group before rediscovering
newsreaders. Now, I only see the "good stuff" again, and the trolls can do
their continual verbal circle-jerk in complete anonymity, for all I care.

Of course, the sad part is that this has all become necessary. Killfiles
weren't necessary for the first 9 years I was on this group, but when a
small-but-determined group of trolls with (seemingly endless) time on their
hands takes a hankering to a group, it's obvious that they can destroy it
pretty easily.

Yep, and the quantity of quality posts has dropped by such a large factor,
I would not even know where to place the number. Seems many people just
took a hike, rather than put up with it. I don't blame them, and have to
wonder how much longer I will be a regular.

Speaking of missing regulars, what's up with Montblack? Is he taking a
break, or does anyone know what became of him?

Remember my previous post about Jay's night clerk socking for him?

What is it about Jay and drug addicts anyway?

We just celebrated his birthday last weekend, and I asked him the same
question.

Bottom line: Same thing you're saying. The trolls are winning.
