Trish and Social Responsibility - like chalk and cheese
Friendless
[comment on someone's query why someone else is posting]
>Oh stop whining, child. What the fuck difference does it make why
>she's posting? She wants to post, that's all that matters.
Trish, you should study these two lines carefully, because they sum up
exactly what it is in your character that netters all over the civilised world
hate. The difference that it makes is that if she has no good reason for
posting, she should shut the fuck up. Just "she wants to post" is no good
reason.
However I can't imagine such a concept managing to permeate through
your thick skull. Why is it so? The best reason I can think of is that the
American Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, and you are an outspoken
advocate of that right - well I respect your belief. In any case, let me
explain why "she wants to post" is no good reason.
Say *I* wanted to post. Say I wanted to write something totally mindless,
and then pretend to be a famous net personality. And say, just because I
wanted to post, I posted 48 articles like this. And just say (we're only
pretending now, remember) the net personality I chose to be was Patricia
O Tuama. How would you feel about that? Pretty irate, I'd imagine :-).
But it's good to know that you wouldn't try to stop me doing it, because I
wanted to post, and that's all that matters.
Nope, wanting to post is not good enough. We have to take responsibility
for our actions, and flames are those that require the most responsibility,
since as meta-news they have little intrinsic worth, and they often cause
more problems than they solve. News costs real money, and more importantly
has to be stored on real disks which have real limited capacity, and the more
shit people post the fewer resources are left for the rest. When one is
posting an article one must question whether it is worth the exchange.
However, you, Ms O Tuama (is there an apostrophe in there?), posted to a
worldwide newsgroup, bitching that some bloke had told you you were posting
crap and that it wasn't needed. Well he was right and you'll have to live
with that. But you have NO right to blast this disagreement all over the
world, you are a ratbag, and you were only trying to cause trouble. You
wasted money, disk space, and time all over the world. I hope you had a good
time and achieved many orgasms from this. Fuck this - flame on.
Trish, you are a waste of net space. Your general net.behaviour is
indefensible, but you can be tolerated. However, telling other people that
it's OK to carry on with the same bullshit you do is NOT ON. It is NOT OK.
What you do is NOT OK.
You seem convinced that everything you have to say is worth being spouted
all over the world. It is not, and that goes for everyone. So I and many
others would appreciate it if you would tell others to shut the fuck up if
they have nothing to say, and furthermore, we would love it if you would take
that advice yourself. Happy masturbation, Trish darling.
Friendless, net.cop and the rudest person in the whole world.

>But it's good to know that you wouldn't try to stop me doing it, because I
>wanted to post, and that's all that matters.
That's right, hon, I wouldn't try to stop you from posting 48 for-
geries of me any more than I would have tried to stop Bill Wells
from doing exactly the same thing two months ago. But you already
know this, dear, you know that I found that whole episode to be
quite entertaining. Anyone who would post 48 forgeries of someone
else is one mighty fucked up puppy.
>Friendless, net.cop and the rudest person in the whole world.
Oh, don't be so hard on yourself, dear. Granted you do have a
serious problem with control but that doesn't make you rude. And
besides, you're from a foreign country, you don't understand our
constitution or the value we place on free expression nor, more
importantly, do you understand how the net works. Your ignorance
prevents you from coming across as rude or offensive.
Btw, why are you afraid to use your real name? What are you trying
to hide, dear?
at that point trish, curious

No, no, no, no, no. Patty, you've got it wrong. Friendless *is* the
rudest person in the world. I know - he's been rude to me. In the
flesh.

I call it restraint - after all, alt.flame only reached my site yesterday,
so I didn't want to bring out the heavy artillery - start with a bit of a
water cannon to try to piss you off. :-) As for rude and offensive - well as a
hillbilly dictator I knew once was fond of saying - "don't you worry about
that".

Glad you asked that Trish, I like to talk about myself. Originally I was
Friendless Farrell, but that looked really shitty on nn, so I shortened it.
Farrell is my surname, and my first name is readily available when I post
more serious articles, or from informative readers of aus.flame. Until then,
however, I shall remain
Friendless

the usual position of legs-on-the-floor-head-toward-the-ceiling, you will
avoid the percolation of shit from your bowels into what little brain you

Pah! I haven't seen it in *this* group anyway? I mean, this is alt.flame!
I've been in training for months for this group! I started a flame war with an
entire state just to practise! And what do I get, I get an obscure argument
involving ex-wives and other boring crap, I get an article about collards, and
I get Trish, at this point amused. I mean, where's the meat?
I think the alt.flamers are just a bunching of coarse jerks making dopey
comments. When I see a real flame we can do some real rudeness, you get my
drift. Until then, I'll just have to keep saying annoying things.

The reasons I don't use it of course are that people are forever asking and
I'm forever not telling, and also I thought maybe that Friendless was a bit
more descriptive than John. Now less of the Poirot and more of the Gaddafi.

Hmmm. You have potential. But ponder on the fact that familiarity
*does* breed contempt, and I've seen more oases of crap than you could
poke a stick at. My contempt for you is rapidly rising, sad as that
may be.
Why? Well the way I see it your life revolves around some pre-pubescent
bitch fight with some dreary unknowns called George, Diane, and
What's-her-name. And you just *can't* seem to take the advise of others
on the net to simply shut up. Stubborness is no virtue, Oleg old chum.

Sure, Oleg, sure. Brilliant display of invective and wit there.
I gotta hand it to you, though. You saw right through me, I *do*
have a problem with shit percolating around my brain. However recent
indications are that it has more to do with your articles than anything
geographical.

It doesn't. My life revolves around "What's-her-name," true, but she has

You might not be able to tell a real flame from a candle what with all that
Foster's you Aussies drink. Speaking of which, did everyone know that the
Aussies want an Olympic event for projectile vomiting? It would be an event
that they couldn't help but win. They have as many words for barf as the
Inuit (Eskimos) have for snow. The Australian national passtime is drinking
as much Foster's as possible and then spewing it up again (recently all over
the net). This is followed by another round of drinking, another liquid laugh,
more drinking, yet another rainbow smile, more drinking, and so on. Why, an
Aussie hasn't had a good evening until he's puked at least twice.

Did you say you knew some Aussies? I'm afraid you have been sucked into the

Customs men that lists all the crap previous generations of Yanks have been fed
by us, so that we can perpetuate the myth. And you must have been contaminated
by it. Sorry...
You see, in Aus. we believe that Americans were put on this Earth for us
to take the piss out of, but then when you started doing it to yourselves, you
spoilt our fun. So we spread little myths - it's a private joke ( You guys are

Uh - sorry to disappoint all those "furriners" who've been busy
knocking Fosters lager (which, I don't mind saying, I find a loathsome
and purulent brew)... it's actually made to an American recipe.
The gent after whom it's named arrived in Melbourne from the US some
time back (late last century, I forget when, exactly). All he had was
his family beer recipe. So he set up a brewery.
The rest is history. (Rather embarassing history, at that.)
In any case, a lot of the Fosters sold overseas is made in the country
of sale (e.g. in the UK it's made by Watney's), and is not necessarily
the exact same watery piss sold around here.

Like much else to do with Oz Kulcha, eh?

Indeed. From memory, it tastes marginally better in London, but that's
not saying a great deal. What amazed me when I was in London were all
the Four-X (XXXX) ads there - "Australia's Largest Selling Lager!!"
etc etc. This was when it was still a relatively-obscure Queensland
beer. Humph. And Londoners seemed to believe it - *and* drink it.
Oh, and you can get Fosters here. Why bother, when you can have much
the same experience with Bud?

Oops, sorry about that! I know you people have as much of a problem being
lumped with the Yanks as the Kiwis do with us. I sincerely apologise, but that
doesn't let you off the hook...
If you see Phil's informative article on fizzy pisswater, it will actually set
you straight on the origins of Foster's, and the reason we gave it back to you.
In fact, if you ever come to Aus., I'll be happy to shout you a pot of the
local stuff, and watch you die on your arse ( it's a wee bit stronger than the
North American stuff).
And PLEASE!, _don't_ call us 'sport'! We are still trying to shake off Hoges
and Bazza McKenzie and their shit-for-brains drivel, which was unfortunately
picked up by foreigners as the Aussie dialect.

Look, hoser! Just because some Aussies sink the piss like it's health food,
doesn't mean we are all like that. The same goes for the Yanks - just because
some of them are dickheads doesn't mean that they all are, it's just that the
dickheads won't let the nice ones post to alt.flame.
And just because all the Canadians I have met have been great people, it
doesn't mean there isn't an arsehole out there somewhere :-)

Look again, simulacrum of a Penn State undergraduate--
the Aussies don't won't to be lumped with you and your
pals, either.

As far as I could tell from the information you guys have provided
us, Foster's is something Queenslanders (or some other kind of Aussie)
call beer. Anchor Porter it ain't, I'm sure, though I haven't had
the misfortune of putting it on my tongue.

That explains your personality. I don't pride myself on the power
of my narcotics.

Whatever you say, sprite.

But you do pride yourself on the narcotic potency of your beer, don't you?
Either you are one of the lushes, or you just pretend to be.

You figured that out all by yourself, did you?
My microscope is revealing to me that, indeed, you _do_ have a brain.
It is either pickled or pretending to be pickled, but it is
definitely a construct of neurons. I can see every one of them.
