The complaint is there underlying your every sentence. It was like that with
Ed Gin and Tom Sherman too. You need to find your own topics and not be
sponging off others all the time.

Did you not notice how ARBR revived when NYC was posting to it? All it takes
is a few live wires and ARBR can be back to where it was. I think however
that we will have to get rid of all the threads having to do with mountain
biking and hiking trails as that is not really germane to this group.

We can learn a lot by looking at other newsgroups. There is nothing unique
about ARBR. We are subject to all the foibles that other newsgroups are
subject to. The only thing we don't have on ARBR are a lot of teenage punks
with their obscenity laden and testosterone driven chit-chat.

I am a side dish here on ARBR. I do not interfere with on topic posts.

I NEVER am writing just for you on ARBR. I am writing for a universe of
unknown readers. It is really quite pitiful that you are unable to think in
these broader terms. It is why no one finds your posts interesting.

What a pitiful retort. I have never stated explicity or implitiy
(complained) that your drivel is better than my drivel. Unlke you, I
don't even regard what I write as drivel. Prove me wrong and cite a
specific example to corroborate yout unsubstantiated assertion. You
cna't can you.

DiIersion duly noted. Be cautious. You are about to alienate the ONLY
ally that you have ... Mikey V., but I have to agree that mountain
biking is not germane to this group. It is most peculiar though for
you recognize that mountain biking is off-topic and yet fail to also
recognize that your nonsense, not even remotely related to cycling, as
accptable rather than not germane. This exceeds literary licenseby any
standards. The conundrum continues.

Yes at the very best you a subordinate to the main course and as such
have little relevancy. As an admitted side dish, you are a TROLL who
is the purveyor of off-topic bibberish (read mindless chit-chat).

In responding to my post, you are responding to me no matter what kind
of spin you vainly attempt to put on it. As concerns interest in your
posts vs min, I could care less, however I again invite you take a
poll. Strange how you never avail yourself of such suggestions. Could
it be that you don't wnat to see your unpopularity in expressed in the
raw numbers and precision of mathematics?

You are tedious in the extreme Jim. I strongly advise you to get your own
topics and not to be constantly sponging off of others who do not really
have any interest in you. Usenet is a cold cruel world and it is mainly made
up of nothing but bastards. The sooner you know this, the better.

I have already explained in another post what I was trying to do. The
trouble is that ARBR is mostly made up of Fred types who have no imagination
and do not know how to run with a subject. Yes, I am out of my element, but
hope springs eternal in the human breast. I feel sorry for all the Freds in
the world who simply have no idea of how much fun it can be to engage with
others in intellectual discourse. The main fun of any newsgroup is getting
off topic. To stay on topic all the time is deadly. No half way bright
person would ever want to stay on topic for more than 2 minutes.

Vandeman is no doubt happy on his own newsgroups and has no interest in our
groups. He is mostly a one-note Johnny and is unlike me that way. He is
never off of his topic. You would be hard put to say what my topic is other
than tweaking everybody.

Think of me as an entertainer and you will have it exactly right. But an
entertainer that can jab you to the quick of your soul!

I gage my popularity by the quantity and the quality of the posts that I get
in response. You should do the same. It seems the only time you are able to
engage anyone is when you are one on one with a single adversary, i.e., a
vendetta. I do not like to be limited to that.

Off-topic is self-defining and is a practice frowned upon as improper
netiquette, so don't try to rationalize away you indisgressions. Look,
why don't you just start your own newsgroup, like
Dolan.off-topic.whatever. Confine yourself to your new newgroop and
crosspost invitations to whatever newsgroups you want and you will see
just how unpopular you are and how lonely your new newsgroup will be.
I dare you. I double dare you to face up to the truth ... coward..

I think you are begging for a re-posting of my voluminous post that
portrays you for what an who you are and the word entertainer cannot be
found therein. The Readers DIgest condensed version ... you are an
obnoxius fool in serious need of a therapist and an attitude
adjustment.

Here's a thought. I'm not a troll. I don't bait people into responses
and then deceive myself into believing that when someone responds to
troll bait that this gives meaning to my life and validates my
self-worth. Get a life ... you twisted freak..

Nope, go to any newsgroup and you will see dozens of threads that are
off-topic. I have explained to you many times why this is so, but you are
too dense to follow my reasoning.

The longer you hang on my coattails the more pathetic you become. You are
reduced to nothing but a stalker. You have become pitiful and deserving of
the disgust of the entire newsgroup. Try to get a life of your own. My life
is already full and I do not have any room for outsiders.

So then you are following the bad example of others then??? Refusal to

It would appear that there are a number of people chewing at your
coattails. When you don't like the attention that you've earned, you
label your adversaires as stalkers. Look jerk, you asked for it ...
you desrve it ... and, you will not be deprived of it for as long as
you remain. Your only out is to GET OUT. - Jim McNamara

Jim has become nothing but a pitiful, pathetic stalker. He is incapable of
posting anything on his own that anyone in this world would want to read,
let alone respond to. Nay, he is only capable of childish feuds with the
likes of Ed Gin, Tom Sherman and now the Great Ed Dolan. He is a man of the
shadows, never daring the sunlight of standing on his own.

Unfortunately for him Ed Dolan the Great is, well, just too Great to expend
any time on him. I will shortly dispense of him the way Tom Sherman did, by
showing nothing but exasperation. It is easy to do this and does not take
any effort at all. I will write one word to his hundreds of words and have
the infinite satisfaction of knowing that no one, but no one, will ever
bother to read any of this ****.

Anytime you feel the heat, you start whining about one of you
adversaries being a stalker. Since several readers have recently made
favorable comments regarding posts I've made about you, it would appear
that your statement regarding others not reading what I've written is
quite incorrect. I've responded to this feud charge of yours several
times before. You have had feuds with all of the names mentioned but
one since you cannot be expected to have a feud with yourself. In
addition, you have had feuds with countless others with whom I have
not. You are just far less selective. He who lives in a glass house
shouldn't throw stones, Ed. A man of shadows, naver daring the
sunlight says the self-proclaimed hermit. I'd love to meet you in the
sunlight sometime. I'm sure others would too. You wouldn't have the
testicular fortitude to say half the things you say to others up close
an personal like. If you did, you'd surely get what's coming to you.

All of your posts from here on out will be severely edited (same goes for
Curtiss, another pitiful stalker and leech) unless you are able to dredge up
material that I think the group might be interested in reading.

Tom never gave up, he simply left you in disgust. That is the only way to
deal with stalkers and leeches as they are just so pitiful. Christ, you
almost end up feeling sorry for the poor bastards.

That you think the group might be interested in reading. Are you ever
arrogant. Where do you get off making such determinations for
others?? You play your silly little games and do what you feel you
must. I couldn't care less.

Ed ... Quit your whining, already. You have only yourself to blame for
the "stalking" that you have fallen victim of from your many
adversaries. You intentionally go trolling for fights. When you
encounter a tenacious, formidable adversary, and find yourself
hopelessly embroiled in an embarrassing no-win cyber-skirmish, in
desperation, you move to disencumber yourself by seeking to discredit
and dismiss your adversary by labeling him or her as a stalker. This
thinly disguised ploy of yours has failed countless times. If you
really want to escape your self-inflicted dilemma, then turn tail,
crawl on out of here. Return to the rock that you slithered out from
under. - Jim McNamara

Thanks Chris, but I could have put that hammer to better use if Ed's
hard head was within reach. Those of us who have engaged Ed Dolan in
cyber skirmishes just have to give the man his due. He possesses a
unique, uncanny ability to galvanize the ARBR membership in steadfast
opposition to himself. Ed deliberately crafts a post to instigate,
infuriate and elicit a response. That's what TROLLs do and Ed does it
better than most. If one engages Ed entirely too well, you are then
labeled a stalker for the very reasons cited above. - Jim McNamara

Actually Jimbo is not too far off the mark. The one thing he misses is that
there is always substance in my posts no matter how I craft them. I will
stand by anything I say and defend it no matter how outrageous it might
first appear.

I do not post to elicit agreement, but rather to elicit disagreement. In
that is all the fun of Usenet. Otherwise, it is nothing but a drag and the
most boring thing you can do on this earth.

The stalker issue is interesting. I never stalk anyone beyond a very limited
extent. I think even Mr. Sherman would attest to that. However, Jimbo comes
very close to be nothing but a stalker. He needs to get his own issues and
not be constantly sponging off of me.

I reign supreme in taking members of this newsgroup (ARBR) to task if and
when they cross certain lines. Yea, I am the nanny of this group. Get used
to it!
