  1. Those of you who only belong to large newsgroups think you need never worry
    about your group being killed, but it is the easiest thing in the world to
    kill a small newsgroup. ARBR was more or less thriving up to a couple of
    years ago when a single person showed his ugly face and proceeded to kill
    the group. He was a criminal vandal troll by the name of Ed Gin (Johnny
    NoCom - just one of his many user names).

    What did this criminal vandal troll do? He trampled on every thread with a
    spam type of message and cast scurrilous obscenities at everyone. He used
    names not his own and forged other names not his. He NEVER repsonded to
    anyone else, just went on and and on with his own insane monologue. He used
    proxies and newsreaders that insured anonymity so that no one could ever get
    a complaint registered against him. It would have taken a police detective
    to track this scoundrel down. Don't believe me? Just go to the Google
    archives for ARBR from 2 winters ago and you will see the destruction taking
    place.

    Everyone got disgusted and left ARBR for mainly BROL, a moderated forum. I
    have absolutely nothing against moderated forums and believe they are the
    wave of the future. All of Usenet is doomed precisely because it is
    unmoderated. Frankly, I got disgusted myself with ARBR too because of the
    fact that a single criminal vandal troll could so easily destroy it.

    So what do I see on the other newsgroups? I see nothing but chat rooms. No
    one will post anything at all seriously anymore because of all the idiots,
    morons and cretins who infest the groups. Even Tom Sherman, formerly the
    heart and soul of ARBR, will no longer post substantial messages because he
    knows the group has died and gone to hell.

    All of this just because of one criminal vandal troll! If it can happen to
    ARBR, it can happen to your group too no matter how large. Be warned!

    If you ran a poll on BROL and asked who was the criminal vandal troll
    that caused them to leave ARBR and gave them two choices, Ed Dolan or
    Ed Gin, you, Ed Dolan, would win the criminal vandal troll poll hands
    down. In fact, the only vote Ed Gin might receive would be yours.

    Your whining reaction to Ed Gin and your need to control are the
    reasons why people left ARBR. It's easy to see why you failed as a
    librarian! You're just another leech upon society! I'm amazed you
    vote conservative. You are what conservatives are against!

    It's what others think, not what you think, that gives you credibility.

    Tom was correct. When you go to confession you just sit there!

    Perry is onto something here. The fact is that I do not get along at all
    well with conservatives. I get along much better with liberal left wing nuts
    and screwballs like him and Tom Sherman. However, in this day and age,
    national security concerns trump everything else and the conservatives own
    that issue.

    So you bring this argument into here to attempt at killing off, yet,

    Perry Butler is nothing but a stalker. I seem to attract those types like
    [censored] attracts flies.

    The whole import of my original message was to be aware of a true troll,
    which I identified for you so that you would know one when you met one. All
    newsgroups need to be aware of what a single determined troll can do to you.
    I would not wish the fate of ARBR on any other group.

    All trolls are criminal morons to say the least. No intelligent person would
    ever engage in such behavior.

    Nope, but have you read my original message? There I describe what a true

    Here it is again for the benighted like yourself:

    archives for ARBR from 2 winters ago and you will see the destruction taking
    place." - Ed Dolan

    By the way, Jim McNamara of ARBR is also very expert on trolls. He is only
    joking of course when he calls me a troll. I am an extremely good troll (and
    so not a troll at all) and all I ever do is give everyone a good swift kick
    in the ass to get them out of their lethargy.

    Simply being off-topic and being contentious does not have anything to do
    with being a troll. Thus spake Zarathustra.

    Perhaps he should just have posted links instead of regurgitating the
    same old stuff again.

    Why bother debating with a man who fails to even recognize that he is
    the source of the problem in the present ... that he is ARBR's
    quintessential TROLL. You will recall that Ed responded ... "Anyone
    reading this [censored]? I sure am not" to my post ... "Ed Dolan ... Portrait
    of a TROLL!!!"

    http://groups.google.com/group/alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent/browse_frm/thread/a9577f8f1619c169?hl=en

    Now Ed either didn't read it for fear that he would be staring truth
    and a portrait of himself in squarely the face or he did read it and is
    simply in denial. There is no other plausible explanation.
    Regardless, it really matters not because Ed matters not. The
    readership knows who and what Ed Dolan is and nothing he can say will
    in any way alter the perception of himself which Ed has forged.

    This latest post is intended to bait readers into a response. The
    posts in the past that Ed refers to are just that ... posts in the
    past. They have no bearing on the conditions of the here and now.
    Everyone is well aware that the current agent of infection is the one
    who initiated this tread ... the GRATE one ... HEAD Dolan!

    thats probably because the group was derilict of duty - you'd probably
    all become self ingratiating and to the outsider it was sickening. It
    truly was Ed, we did you a favour. Trust me. It was sad.
    \
    look I'll strike it clean with you but I will never disclose the
    culprit./

    My friend/associate was doing a PhD on newsgroup psychology. ARBR was
    one of his target theses. The experiment was regarding how to subvert
    and pervert to ultimately destory a community.

    He now works for ASIO.

    And you can bet your bottom dollar that his findings are being used to
    genocide the culture of Iraq.

    I implore all of you to take a walk on the wild side and consider the
    evidence:
    www.911pressfortruth.com
    http://www.911weknow.com/911-mysteries-movie.html

    These are docos made by concerned and vulnerable, volunteering,
    courageous citizens of humanity/

    If you don't watch them you'll never know. But if you do watch them
    your life will suddenly become occupied by a new priority.

  12. Without a doubt. I still have the digest sent to me, but why even post
    here when one self appointed "god" dominates all conversations. When I
    want to post something about our favorite hobby, I use BROL, because ED
    cannot do is number there.

    Again, If you ran a poll on BROL and asked who was the criminal vandal
    troll that caused them to leave ARBR and gave them two choices, Ed
    Dolan or Ed Gin, you, Ed Dolan, would win the criminal vandal troll
    poll hands down. In fact, the only vote Ed Gin might receive would be
    yours.

    You know the above paragraph is true!

    Tom was correct. When you go to confession you just sit there!

    Enjoy,

    Those of you who only belong to large newsgroups think you need never worry
    about your group being killed, but it is the easiest thing in the world to
    kill a small newsgroup. ARBR was more or less thriving up to a couple of
    years ago when a single person showed his ugly face and proceeded to kill
    the group. He was a criminal vandal troll by the name of Ed Gin (Johnny
    NoCom - just one of his many user names).

    What did this criminal vandal troll do? He trampled on every thread with a
    spam type of message and cast scurrilous obscenities at everyone. He used
    names not his own and forged other names not his. He NEVER repsonded to
    anyone else, just went on and and on with his own insane monologue. He used
    proxies and newsreaders that insured anonymity so that no one could ever get
    a complaint registered against him. It would have taken a police detective
    to track this scoundrel down. Don't believe me? Just go to the Google
    archives for ARBR from 2 winters ago and you will see the destruction taking
    place.

    Everyone got disgusted and left ARBR for mainly BROL, a moderated forum. I
    have absolutely nothing against moderated forums and believe they are the
    wave of the future. All of Usenet is doomed precisely because it is
    unmoderated. Frankly, I got disgusted myself with ARBR too because of the
    fact that a single criminal vandal troll could so easily destroy it.

    So what do I see on the other newsgroups? I see nothing but chat rooms. No
    one will post anything at all seriously anymore because of all the idiots,
    morons and cretins who infest the groups. Even Tom Sherman, formerly the
    heart and soul of ARBR, will no longer post substantial messages because he
    knows the group has died and gone to hell.

    All of this just because of one criminal vandal troll! If it can happen to
    ARBR, it can happen to your group too no matter how large. Be warned!

    thats probably because the group was derilict of duty - you'd probably
    all become self ingratiating and to the outsider it was sickening. It
    truly was Ed, we did you a favour. Trust me. It was sad....

    All the self-ingratiating types are now over at BROL doing the same
    thing, which is more than I can stand to read.

    A newsgroup can have a lot of ON-TOPIC discussion, AND still be
    contentious, e.g. rec.bicycles.tech.

    Without a doubt. I still have the digest sent to me, but why even post
    here when one self appointed "god" dominates all conversations. When I
    want to post something about our favorite hobby, I use BROL, because ED
    cannot do is number there.

    Nope, I KNOW it is NOT true! Go check the ARBR Google Archives for Feb. and

    The group was doing just fine until Ed Gin destroyed it.

    The group was as you described it above until I showed up and changed it
    forever. Believe me, it was anything but self-ingratiating once I took hold
    of it. It became a very prickly place and everyone had to stay on their
    toes.

    Ed Gin's destruction of the group was not motivated by anything the group
    was or did. I think he did what he did just to see if it could be done. The
    group was very poor at defending itself which of course made it all that
    much easier for him. What can you do when everyone turns tail and runs. I
    fought the good fight, but I could not become a criminal like him.

    The moral of the story is that one bad apple can destroy the barrel, but we
    have always known that much, haven't we?

    Perry Butler is nothing but a stalker. I seem to attract those types like
    [censored] attracts flies.

    From what I can see, so are you. But you can repent.

    Nope, but have you read my original message? There I describe what a true
    troll does.

    Here it is again for the benighted like yourself:

    "What did this criminal vandal troll do? He trampled on every thread with a

    By the way, Jim McNamara of ARBR is also very expert on trolls. He is only
    joking of course when he calls me a troll. I am an extremely good troll (and
    so not a troll at all) and all I ever do is give everyone a good swift kick
    in the ass to get them out of their lethargy.

    Unlike you, I do not consider Usenet newsgroups a source from which I
    derive a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem. Unlike you, my
    identity is not intricately linked to ARBR . I do not think of myself
    as Jim McNamara of ARBR although I do think of you as Ed Dolan of ARBR
    and therein lies a very distinct difference. I don't know these
    comments almost escaped my attention, but when Ed did you assume that
    you are my mouthpiece and can speak on my behalf??? Read my lips, Ed.
    I have never joked about you being that which you are ... a despicable
    TROLL!!!. As for being a a good troll, perhaps you should reread my
    post ... Ed Dolan ... Portrait of a TROLL!!! For your convenience I
    have cut and pasted the initial paragraph that specifically addresses
    this whimsical "good troll" fantasy of yours...

    NO ... there are just Trolls. There is nothing either explicit or
    implicit in the definition of a troll that can possibly be misconstrued
    as good. GOOD TROLL is an oxymoron. The American Psychiatric
    Association considers the internet troll personality to be a mental
    disorder. Is there anything good about that?

    Could I have said what I said any more clearly. How did Conan the
    Librarian, Head Dolan the GRATE, misconstrue something so easy to
    comprehend???

    Simply being off-topic and being contentious does not have anything to do

    Nonsense, everyone knows that Jim is just joking around. No one in their
    right mind would ever take anything he says seriously. After all, not only
    is he a light weight, but he is the expert on what Ed Gin (a bad troll) did
    to ARBR. Ed Dolan is the quintessential good troll and a credit to ARBR.

    However, even a good troll cannot save idiots from themselves. Nay, ARBR
    was most likely doomed long before either Ed Gin or Ed Dolan showed up. It
    was full of nothing but good time Charlies (all liberals) who had no stomach
    for contention and controversy. They all proved themselves to be craven
    cowards when push came to shove.

    The only time Jim ever showed up here on ARBR in those bad old days was when
    he brought the Ed Gin - Jim McNamara Carnival Show to the group. It is a
    wonder he did not die of embarrassment from it all. I think he is now trying
    to redeem himself by attempting to converse with a high-minded and educated
    gentleman like myself. He no doubt has had his full of scoundrels like Ed
    Gin.
