Default NOTICE: uk.rec.walking TROLL FAQ. Removal required.

On looking for uk.rec.walking FAQ I discover it is hosted
and supplied

<phillip@blencathra.demon.co.uk>

Who has waged a vendetta against one Angus Macmillan for
some years. http://tinyurl.com/2dovy

He has now chosen to adapt a well respected usenet resource
(The FAQ) into a tool where he can subscribe his own bias
and subject innocent members of the public to his somewhat
extremist views. Stephen Poley also tried the same tactics
sometime ago with the bird watching group. He was *****
slapped and forced to remove the defamatory, libelous
material http://tinyurl.com/326yr

Powell himself has been backstabbing various users of these
newsgroups for years and most have him kill filed, although
not strictly necessary as the rat has seen he is not wanted
and moved on.

The FAQ is not the place for waging personal vendettas and
discredits a very serious usenet resource.

Therefore if the offensive and unqualified material is not
removed within the next seven days Powell and the FAQ will
be replaced with an appropriate FAQ and an ARA bias. What's
good for the goose is good for the gander.

This will have a serious effect on the groups concerned and
you are all advised to vote powell out of order and the
genuine FAQ reinstated.

I do apologize in advance for any action that may be
required, you must all agree and FAQ should at all times be
impartial, honest and above reproach.

his own website of lies, defamation and misdeeds, for which
he will be dealt with in due course.

7 days will be allowed to elapse henceforth.

The offensive material discovered thus is at the
following page.

The Woodland Trust Rant Every few weeks this newsgroup
receives "The Woodland Trust" posting from one Angus
Macmillan. He makes a number of allegations regarding the
Woodland Trust and spams it across a number of outdoor-
related newsgroups in uk.rec.* These allegations have been
refuted in an FAQ compiled by Colin Davidson that can be
found on Stephen Poley's uk.rec.birdwatching FAQ site at:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/angus.htm You are advised to
read this and not bother responding to the original posting.

Newsgroup ettiquette

1) Tell everyone the Trolls don't bother you.
2) Say you've killfiled them, yet continue to respond.
3) Tell other people off who repsond despite doing so
yourself.
4) Continually talk about Trolls while maintaining they're
having no effect.
5) Publicly post killfile rules so the Trolls know how to
avoid them.
6) Make lame legal threats and other barrel scraping
manoeuvres when your abuse reports are ignored.
7) Eat vast quantities of pies.
8) Forget to brush your teeth for several decades.
9) Help a demon.local poster with their email while
secretly reading it.
10) Pretend you're a hard bastard when in fact you're as
bent as a roundabout.
11) Become the laughing stock of Usenet like Mabbet
12) Die of old age
13) Keep paying Dr Chartham his fees and hope one day you
will have a penis the girls can see.

and something about non RFC-compliant signatures (too long,
no .sigsep) also spring to mind. Gosh, I've been here 2 days
and already reaching for the KF. 8<,

Killfile on this string in the "Path: " header:

!news.alt.net!

That text is only used by the anonymous remailer he uses, so
you're not likely to block any useful posts.

Yes, but that is not being fair to Phillip Powell who has
been a respected contributor to this ng for a long time and
posts under his own name unlike the 2 soulmates of that pain-in-the-
**** Angus who have just crawled out of the woodwork. Lb to
a pinch of salt like Angus neither will have any real
interest in walking. The only thing to do with such trolls
is killfile them.

Phillip Powell was the first person I "spoke" to on Usenet,
to ask if mentioning my software on this group would be OK,
that was several K posts ago :-)
