All we have to do is not engage in flame wars. It's quite simple.

It's only simple for non-creations. :-)

He doesn't bother me a bit. I killfiled him long ago.

No kidding. I don't understand why more people don't take advantage of this.

1. I will not respond to [trolls].

2. I will not lambaste [trolls] on these newsgroups.

3. I will not vandalize [a troll's] website.

4. I will not whine about the whiners or trolls,
unless you count this as a whine, in which case
it is done now. ;o)

5. I will killfile trolls silently and concentrate
on the many good posts and posters in the group.

Okay, folks, enough is enough. We've got good, long-term, high
quality pilots seriously discussing vandalizing someone's website,
because of said someone's troll-dom.

In the past, I have defended said troll, and lambasted said vandals,
but have now come to realize that this troll is obviously so divisive
and upsetting to some that this issue risks tearing apart the very
fabric of rec.aviation.

I personally find this amazing (he truly doesn't bother me that much)
but, in the interest of keeping this newsgroup intact and (relatively)
harmonious, I hereby publically make the following pledges, and urge
others to join me he

1. I will not respond to MX's posts.
2. I will not lambaste MX on these newsgroups.
3. I will not vandalize MX's website.

All in favor, say "aye"...


Has anyone thought about using a program that looks a certain
individuals name and immediatly issues a usenet message cancel based
upon said users name and the newly posted subject?

So you're implying that you'd like to give the troll the power to
drive you to fraudulent behavior in a worldwide forum? :-(

No Larry... Do not read any desire into my post. Frankly the guys
posts do not bug me in the least. The constant barage of anti said
person posts bug me a whole lot more than the original posts. From
what I have seen his original posts are all on topic and most do raise
good questions. The immediate posts of "blah blah only flies sims and
never flown a real plane" in response are the ones which fuel the
problem.

Cancels no longer are honored by many Usenet hosts so it would be an exercise
in futility.

Unfortunately that is very true, I have tried without success to cancel a
couple of incomplete messages after I pressed "send" without proof
reading...

Lordy, I didn't know such an animal existed!

What do we need to do to get this thing going. Will someone take
responsibility to get this working for us? Does it really work, or is it a
scam?

Marty, you know about this stuff, don't you? Do you know about it Mike? I
can't remember, but I seem to recall that you might be part of the big 8, or
something. I'm not doubting you, but can you tell us if it is legitimate?

If someone will do it, (if it can be done) and it takes money to get it, I
presume we can get enough people to chip in to do it. I know I will.
