STOP TAKING THE ENVIRO-TROLL'S BAIT!

Please (PLEASE!) ignore him; one month is all I ask.

If you feel you must respond to his ridiculous crappola, take it private. (Here's a hint: he won't
engage in a private dialogue, because all he is is a TROLL {duh...it's so OBVIOUS}.) He lives to get
a reaction from us; don't give him the satisfaction.

I'm tired of having to wade through all these insipid posts trying to argue with him -- especially
from idiots who don't even know how to snip his obnoxious signature at the end (sometimes it's there
3 and 4 times!). I don't read them, but they're still cluttering up the friggin' group...

We used to have fairly successful troll-free months around here; no reason we can't again.

heh, much better than my plan to reply to one of the many crosspostings, with a new header that
said "crossposters are idiots" commenting on how they need to get a life and keep things in their
own ng's...

(that would have felt sooooo good tho....)

After reading this NG for the past week, I was about to post a message similar to yours. I see too
many message boards where people complain and complain about certain posters, only to take their
bait every time. Please let Mr. V's posts die a slow death, dropping off each page one by one. This
board is dying because of his blabbering.

Ah. That's better! Just rewritten my newsreader's filters a bit. It already kills anything
written by our favourite troll himself, anything with any possible misspelling of his name, the
phrase "typical mountain biker" and now just be sure, it kills anything crossposted to three or
more groups.

Only problem is, it feels kinda quiet in here without all the troll activity! ;-)

Well, after you take that rusty hook out of your own yap, think about
it. There is a contingent of dilweeds in this newsgroup that think arguing with a psycho is not
psychotic in its own way.

Actually, there is (at least right now). It requires everyone to say "yes, I agree this is a stupid
waste of time". Most already recognize that, but Vandeman's got a whole stringer of fools who just
can't lose the taste for his bait.

I agree... If you must reply to the troll just call him direct and let him know how you feel....

Go ahead and do it -- unfortunately, you'll have plenty from which to choose.

I do ok with block sender and keywords ffiltering, but I haven't been able to get whole phrases to
work in OE .... also does anyone know how to set OE up to kill anything crossposted like Huw
describes? Penny

I wouldn't go so far as to say the NG is dying because of his antics. The bigger reason that NG's in
general are dying is that you actually have to know they exist and/or how to access them to view the
messages. With the proliferation of other web based message boards there's plenty of avenues for
people to go that are literally a click away. Most non computer types don't even know about the
usenet so to say that one is dying becuase of the relatively infrequent postings form a baboon is
not a fair assessment. They simply die because people stop going. I don't filter out the demented
Dr. but I choose to ignore his inane postings as I see fit. I'll chime in on occasion just to let
him know that a PhD doesn't actually make him an expert but the few posts he makes are still few and
far between and aren't actually keeping people from accessing the NG.

Who said that?

Nah, I've only got the V-name blocked out. Incidentally, have you noticed how no-one has actually
mentioned his name yet? Probably a good thing as I reckon he does regular Google searches to see if
we're talking about him.
