  1. Has he been driven off RBT by the jeers and catcalls?

    Or, has he a new career as a kind of 21st century gigolo?

    Why does *that* scene in "Airplane!" come to mind here?

    You may be a pompous gasbag, but you're not "The Pompous Gasbag". Sorry
    to disappoint you.

    If so, are you proud of that?

    I beg to differ, I do not think "[censored]" suits him.

    This NG has gotten so nasty in the last year. Ten years ago, we just
    huffed about Jobst, and he huffed back -- maybe a gratuitous attack on
    Tom Kunich for reasons that were never clear to me. But even those
    were tame by current standards. The JPoulos "no helmet day" tirades
    seem so tame compared to bandwidth-wasting tirades of today. -- Jay

    Wrong, THIS NG is UK.rec.cycling and has always discussed UK related
    cycling amtters along with a few other things including helmets for as
    long as I care to remember (my first post was in 1994). We don't mind
    the occaisonal cross post from RBT, but keep the insults and mud
    slinging to that NG, not this one.

    Because you (and other troll lovers) feed him.

    Wrong, THIS NG is UK.rec.cycling

    This thread is (deliberately) cross posted by a troll to stir up trouble.
    You may /think/ you're in the relatively well-mannered and thoughtful
    uk.rec.cycling, but in fact you're not, which is where half the problem
    comes from.

    Set your killfile to reject crossposts, if you can.

    I'm surely part of the "problem" but have appealled to Ozark and Sorni
    to try at least to keep it confined to just one or at most a few
    threads. But it keeps spilling out -- they don't seem to care and one
    of them mocked my suggestion of keeping it confined by saying I'd
    written too many words.

    I won't start it up in new threads (or non-helment threads), but once
    it starts in other places, I will respond.

    For heaven's sake don't. The troll-feeder is just as antisocial a
    nuisance as the troll.

    This after you followed me around -- even to AM-B -- humping nearly every
    post I made.

    You're too much. (AND too dishonest.)

    Well, FWIW, you're usually quite concise. (Gasbaggery implies
    /verbosity/...at least to me.)

    I'll try not to but am not sure I have the self-control.

    Some manage to be pompous without being verbose, many are verbose
    without being pompous, and some are verbose without being informative.

    (And yes, pomposity does not go hand-in-hand with accuracy or ability
    to provide useful information.)
