I just wanted to take a second and offer my thanks. I really enjoy this
group, but wading through all the troll posts is a headache. I think I have
managed to filter most of them out, but that can be tricky.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy life to try and get rid of
the unwanteds. Thank you for trying to keep this forum to the use it was
meant for.

My best,

Sharon

I also but the trolls are posting through altopia for the most part and
there is nothing you can do to stop them. Only thing you can do is choose
block sender and keep doing it every time they morph to a different name.
Altopia will not stop them if anyone is interested in how to find out these
types of things and how to report the ones that can be reported then e-mail
me and I will gladly send you the information. AAnd if the trolls send me
e-mail I will report any that can be traced. I know how and am very
effective at getting ISP accounts closed.

>I just wanted to take a second and offer my thanks.

a note to all. I agree 100% with reporting spammers, HOWEVER ( this is
important) I do not *post* when I have reported them!!! This gives them more
fodder. Some of you may remember a few years back when we had a porno
spammer ( morphed pics of Nancy Zieman, I will not say more) who I reported
and then POSTED that I had successfully reported him and that his account
was in the process of being shut down. But not before the spammer decided
to post a whole bunch of extremely rude stuff, with forged headers and
names, OF MINE!! It was an awful experience went on for a few days before
we truly got rid of him, me having to apologize for really rude stuff that I
didn't right...the folks who know me on the groups *knew* it wasn't me, but
omigosh...what a nightmare.

So, report them, include the full headers ( in OE you right click on the
message header for properties) to abuse@thierISP,com but DON'T TELL
ANYONE!!!

In the meantime if the spammer is persisitent, A good set of filters can do
wonders...

Connie, thanks for the input. In the situation I was referring to, the
person in question was in the UK so it is really questionable at to what
laws would apply where; fortunately demon.uk has a very low tolerance of
account abuse and they were great. What type of law/rules are you referring
to? Is it federal or a state (US) This stuff is so confusing, and you seem
to know quite a bit. Care to enlighten us as to the exact requirements you
are referring to? The usual steps I take when reporting account abuse are
to forward the message in it's entirely, with the full headers,s to the
ISP's abuse mailbox, with a note of explanation on "why" the post is
objectionable. Do you have steps to add to this process?

Thanks,
Penny S.

Penny did you realize that you are infact required to notify the person you
are reporting. If you notify them then include the warning that I did,

***NB Any mail received in my mailbox is regarded as my property and as such
will be posted to the relevant newsgroup and ISP.*** Also include *** Any
mail perpetratring under the assumption that it came from my email account
will be used in a court of law if required and litigation will be taken
against anyone who falsley uses my account name.***

BTW If you are unable to trace where the poster is coming from, then just
send your complaint to your own ISP with all properties listed and they will
trace it for you!

As for forging someone elses mail address, yes that is done, it has been
done with me, but if you ask your ISP for a breakdown of your postings with
them then you have no problem proving in a court of law when and where you
made your postings from and to.I enclose something courtesy of another
person Thanks FC, and hope this will help those who are not so fortunate as
you and I in computer usage just what they can do

Hope this helps someone and never worry about those extremely sad people who
always have to upset someone.

The problem has stopped for the time being and at least all those who wanted
to know the procedure of reporting someone, now have the information ready
to use if they should need to. Thanks and regards, ConnieD.

How effective could you possibly be? If your point was to track down
my ISP then WHY WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING AS FUCKING STUPID as getting a
hotmail account closed?

Penny In resonse to your request I have the following which you might feel
of use in asking a provider to "request" a poster to refrain from posting
certain items which are in breech of the terms of the contract taken out
between the provider and user.

Go to the provider concerned and ASK for a transcript of their conditions of
use. Read it through carefully and you will find what the provider expects
of the user to adhere to. Failure by the user to conduct him/herself in
accordance with the agreement can mean the provider may, at their
descretion, remove the facilty to the user.

Ask the provider what they require you to do when wanting to report a matter
to them, and invariably they will ask you to ensure that you have notified
the person you are complaining about and to forward them a copy of said
posting. This enables them to keep on file, a record of your complaint along
with any others they have received should this matter ever be taken to
court. As we all know, we can be targets for revenge and by ensuring that
your post to the originator has been forwarded then if, and I repeat if,
someone decides to tamper with your computer or "cross report" you, your
initial complaint is on record, thus negating the follow up complaints that
may occur from the offended party.

I have not reported anyone called Fizzo at any time whatsoever, had I done
so then my postings would have appeared on this group as with the present
matter.

Hotmail are investigating the fraudulent use of their company name by a
certain party and other servers are also involved on the behalf of several
who have contacted me privately.

As far as I am aware I have not cross posted to any other to group
concerning this matter, but ensured that the header was appropriately marked
for the newsgroup that I wanted my mailing to appear on.

I hope this answers your question, and gives a you better perspective of
what you should do in the matter of reporting someone.

Each provider has different conditons laid out and if you contact said
provider, they will help you find the legislation covering the part of the
world the originator is posting from. Each country has a different law but
for example if you wished to obtain further knowledge on spamming in the US
then try this site:

>NOTICE TO BULK E-MAILERS PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE BULK E-MAILING THIS
ADDRESS
>Pursuant to US Code, Title 47, Chapter 5, Subchapter II, p.227,any and all
non-solicited commercial E-mail sent to this address is
>subject to a download and archival fee in the amount of $500 US. Anyone
who sends unsolicited commercial e-mail to this account
>will be charged a $500 proofreading fee. Consider this official

>abide by this will result in legal action. For a complete summary of this
Legislation see

Hope this will help you and others, Regards ConnieD.

Did you ever think of the repercussions to yourself for going to great
lengths to sensor other people? I do not think that you have. Did you
ever think that anyone could be posting using SOMEONE ELSE'S hotmail
address and that HYSTERICAL attempts to shut off someone else's access
to the internet could result in certain repercussions and liability to
yourself?

personal attack? litigation? You need to accept responsibility for your
part in the ridiculous lengths this thread his come to. If you had just
ignored him, he would have taken his ball and went home. Words can't hurt.
Just calm down and don't respond. I have a feeling that is too hard now

No one said you *should* do anything. It was just a suggestion to end the
madness. Connie did the right thing, in your opinion, but not all agree.
But if you want to classify him as a troll, then you treat him like a troll
and IGNORE.. as Usenet rules suggest. Oh and please don't give me the
argument that little kiddies read newsgroups, it's up to those little
kiddies parents to preview any reading materials they don't want their
children looking at. This is not a moderated newsgroup.

Again, it was just a suggestion that obviously fell on deaf ears.

Just something for thought...why is it a "bad" thing for the original
poster (whomever they be in whatever situation) to monitor *themselves*?
Being respectful to the topic of a newsgroup...statements regarding
children reading this newsgroup...etc.? Just seems that all the
responsibility is being placed upon the one side of an issue (not just here
but on other newsgroups as well). I am fully aware that the internet is
completely "unregulated" as such. But it seems that we have a sad example
of what is truly happening in our world when some simple ideals of
courtesy, manners and common sense are thrown out the door all for a
person's "right" to post whatever they want....and if someone doesn't like
it, tough. Just seems pretty selfish.

Hi Christina,

I still believe that if all his original postings had been ignored he would
have gone away. You (and I don't mean *you* personally) really can't take
*anything* said on Usenet personally. That is one of the first things to
learn when posting on Usenet. Just trying to add some sanity to this is
all. As long as yall feed into him he will not stop. I think we *all* have
more important things going on IRL. And it doesn't make you less of a
man/woman to realize when to let things go. As a matter of fact it makes
you the bigger person.

I didn't mean to imply that it was all Connie's "fault" Just that a thread
cannot continue with only one poster. If there is only one poster, the
thread will end.

I do see where you are coming from. It might sound selfish. I hate it that
I'm coming off as a poster child for trolls or however you would classify
TP. But the fact remains the internet is a highly unregulated medium. We,
no one else, are responsible for what our children hear and read. TP
doesn't care if your kids read his postings. To say that TP is rude and
then to expect him to monitor himself is highly ridiculous. What one person
recognizes as rude and trollish behavior can be humorous and funny to
others. There are a ton of lurkers from a.t.r.w. reading this that are
getting a kick out of seeing yall get such a rise out of it. The longer it
continues, the funnier it gets.

Ever been in traffic and accidently cut someone off? They normally are
giving you the finger or screaming out their window. Well if you just wave
and smile at them they feel like a moron and quit. Not a very good analogy,
but best I could do. I guarantee he won't stop fishing unless you stop
nibbling at the worm.

*L* That's so true. Although I thought it was when someone called someone

I guess I don't understand how what this particular person is doing could
be considered funny. Maybe I missed something...but there is a "higher"
ground that could be obtained and that is for the postings to stop being of
the particular content that they are. I'm sure that there are newsgroups
out there where this style of posting could be parody and funny. But I am
here due to my job...and well, I just don't get how simple politeness has
just disappeared from society. I appreciate your analogy regarding the
driver with boorish behavior...but I want to understand from this
particular venue what is going on.

Well see it's not funny to most of the people who normally post at
alt.sewing. It's funny to people who get a kick of watching others' blood
boil over a simple usenet post. For example, everyone who is contributing
to this thread in the "report him to his ISP" mode are furious! And TP
meanwhile is laughing is head off, not to mention other lurkers from a.t.r.w
who are doing the same. The effort put into arguing with him to stop is
just fuel for his fire.

Simple politeness has not disappeared from society, it was never there for
some people. Obviously, considering the reaction from the posters here you
have not come into contact with someone like TP before. In another
newsgroup I subscribe to they give out net.Frango.awards every year to "best
response to a troll". It's rather funny the responses some people come up
with and hardly anyone gets upset (about the trolls that is).

It's a matter of the type of personality you have I guess. I was in a
debate one time about the ethics/non-ethics of Clinton. It degraded into an
argument about how simple-minded and in "De-Nile" I was if I thought my
husband was being faithful to me after 10 years together. After that, I
just let it go. I wanted to tell her to go to hell but really, why get
upset over an unknown person who obviously didn't know what they were
talking about.

I'm not an expert on trolls. I've chomped on to the bait more times than I
care to remember but have just learned that in my home and in my life I have
more things to worry about then trying to kick someone off their ISP for
being a retard. If it was repeated personal e-mail I could understand. I
hope what I said was understandable and possibly answered your questions
even if some don't agree. I would be more concerned about how people react
in anger.. will they remain angry or will they smile and be a good role
model to their children. Everyone is so worried about the children, but
what hurts them worse? A little foul language or anger in it's most viscious
form. The foul language would have ended after the first posting if people
didn't rise to the bait. It's about being the bigger person.

I only hopped on this newsgroup to see how it would end (from lurker status
even though I didn't stay there) but while I'm here I have an old Singer
sewing machine. It's pea-gree with a case that clamps over the top. It's
about 50-60 years old (handed down from my grandma). It has a bulb lamp
screwed onto the back. I've never used it, but do you know where I would
bring it to get it cleaned and fixed without risking damage to it?

You really have no clue or appreciation for freedom of speech. The big
issue is WHO gets to decide? I do not like YOUR posts. So don't be so
stupid. Free speech is not a popularity contest.

Yes it has a button hole attachment. The whole machine is really cute. I

Hey Fizzo,
There is ot a one among our group who doesn't have a clear
understanding of the "Don't read it if you don't like it" theory.
Trouble is, we take the time to read posts thinking that there is
really someone there that we might be able to help.
I know when I initially read the fifi post, I gathered it was not
legitimate and trashed it.....but it took MY TIME! And we really
don't want to waste time on junk like that.
It is so much like kids making prank phone calls and getting such
a big kick out of having someone answer the phone for nothing. Either
GROW UP or post to other people that have time to waste....we don't

Ultimately we don't care if you are tracked down and punished....we

It is against the law in the State of Michigan to use foul
language to women and children.

I was really on the fence concerning the use of the legitimate
name for a body fluid (though I stated I thought you could have been
more discreet and tactful).....but I do not appreciate and will not
tolerate the use of foul language on our beloved newsgroup.
You are wrong to use that terminology in this forum. JOY

Doesn't this sort of fall under the same ill-logic that if you borrow
someone elses car and get into an accident that you are not
responsible because it is not your car. And the person whose car it
is is not responsible because they were not driving.
I immagine that the car-owner will quickly become more cautious
of who he loans his car to ....just as the friend who loans you his
internet service will be forced to be more responsible about who he
allows to use his service.

I am sorry you have misinterpreted my reference. I would like to
clarify and re-state, that it was not necessarily the proper word for
the anatomy that disturbed me, but the vulgar and offensive "foul"
language that accompanied several posts. This language is not used
to contribute or support their subject content....just used for
reactionary purposes. Those who choose to use foul language in this
forum are wrong to do so.
So, this "batty" seamstress doesn't mind reminding you to mind
your manners. Just in case your mother hasn't told you in a
while.....take a moment out to treat others how you would like to be
treated. If you take comfort in bantering that sort of language
about with your friends.....so be it. If I want to read that sort of
language I have a hunch I could locate places or magazines to read it.
But I don't want to read it here. JOY

You are telling me to treat others how I would like to be treated? Hell
woman, why don't you use some of this same critique on your own little
group here? I don't go around trying to get people's ISP accounts
terminated because they say things I do not like. How childish is THAT?
Aren't those BAD MANNERS too? The fact that your moralising is so
selective completely invalidates everything else that you say. What
don't you tell those bitches who tried to close peoples' accounts down
that that is no way to act? Tell them that life and liberty are not
popularity contests.

If you do not like foul language, then the internet is not a good place
for such a closed mind as yours.

It had everything to do with free speech. It had to do with what you
LIKE and what you DON'T LIKE. And attempts were made to cancel accounts
and get people off of the internet for NOT LIKING. This is not the same
as "WRONG", yet that is surely what you and others have cloaked your
actions with.

And I thank you for your advice. Sadly, I am on vacation this month and
decided to spend all of my time posting to alt.sewing. I figured that
would be more fun than Kosovo. You know, where the real pain is penis
vagina.

The internet is for *everyone* and for you to suggest the type of reverse
censorship that you are <troll that you may be> is in of itself childish.

I believe people on a basic level deserve to be treated with respect and


decently. You have made choices to the other extreme (so it appears). You

have also expected others to conform to *you* which is selfishness at it's
best. The vision I have of *you* is the bull in the china shop. You are too
selfish to understand that *you* are not the center of the universe. And

that because we don't conform to *you* then you have the right to stampede
around like a moron/jerk/ass.

Maybe this is where you get your jollies and think that you can be the boor


that you are not allowed to be in Real Life....but a big surprise here,
people do use the internet for real reasons, not because they don't have a
life <as you appear to be the example>.

I came onto this newsgroup because I needed the information that is


available here. I did not come here to have the type of childish behavior
that has been exhibited here by *you* and your ilk. From what I can tell,

the ISP cancelled service do the violations of the conditions of the
agreement. It had nothing to do with stifling free speech because the
person signed up with the service *knowingly*.

Free speech *has* responsibilities too it. Free speech does not give you
the right to behave as a selfish moron. It does give you the right to find


an appropriate newsgroup though for the type of conversation that you

enjoy. But you are a troll and you are only trying to generate responses.


You could really care less how you do that. And as advocates of free speech
and the rights therein...well, you certainly do waste a lot of bandwidth on

this technology. Maybe you will find your fight better met in say


Kosovo....where the free speech is obviously being stifled by religious

groups there. I suggest that you take a vacation to some sort of place


soon. Maybe your perspective on how the Real World is might be finally
turned to the "right" direction.

NO decent person would try and pull accounts over use of the word
"semen".
I've never heard of morphs being against any policy at all. This is all
in your head.

The people that have been posting the Foul language posts are a prime
example of why at some time the government will step in and put more
restrictions and controls ont he Internet. I firmly feel that if
someone looses their ISP priveliges from two carriers for the same
offensive and vulgar posts that they should lose their right to be on
the internet at all. Just like someone that refuses to stop drinking
and driving loses their right to drive and in some cases their freedom.
Freedom is a responsibility. If one person infringes on the freedoms of
others everyone is the loser. I do not believe in censorship for the
sake of censorship. I think that if someone wants to visit x rated
sites that is their right I do not feel that they have the right to
force others to be involved. Lynda

Thank you, soccer mom, for putting Bill Clinton in office. You must be
proud. Oh, he has raped 12 women (we so far have only one credible
testimony).

http://www.capitolhillblue.com/Feb1999/022299/clintonrape022299.htm

And I'm sure you have more reasons why he should still be in office than
why I should be off the internet.

So, the use of the word "semen" infringes your freedoms? "Semen" is
offensive and vulgar?

Since you believe you have the "right" to post whatever you want...maybe
you should not be "hiding" behind various ID's. I heard it mentioned only
*cowards* do what you are doing, changing ID's constantly. That not having
a life isn't good enough...but to harass and to *pretend* that you have a
valid point is all that you are able to do because *no one* will listen to
you in Real Life.

Rather pathetic on your part...even sad. That you would find pleasure in
disrupting a newsgroup. Then turn around and bitch that *I* have to
completely control the content of what my children see (instead of hoping
that posters could be *adult* enough to control themselves) by completely
monitoring *EVERYTHING* that they see on this newsgroup. Would be much
easier to do if you all would stop changing your names every other day.
That way I *could* be a responsible parent as you seem to claim I'm not via
my *request* that you post responsibly and to consider the audience that is
here. By the way...*children* do read this newsgroup. I should not have to
spend the time to read every single post to find out if it is okay for my
child to read. Just as I should not have to read every single book before
hand (at least authors tend to be responsible regarding what language they
use in their books, taking care to understand their audience). And I'm
talking *children* here. Children that are not ready to understand the
"terms" that you think you have the right to troll with.

But you are a troll and you are just going to consider this *another* post
that is only replied to your trolling. Instead of taking the time to read
this and actually maybe reflect upon your actions. I sincerely hope that in
Real Life that you get the "awakening" that you deserve, and soon.

I would suggest that you take a course in *comprehension* of the English

not grasped the ability to read and comprehend what you have read.

Nope, that is not the "crime". You know it. You also have not read what I
wrote. I will once again suggest that you *read* what is written. Put your
agenda aside for 10 seconds and just *read* what is written regarding the
recent behavior on the ng from you and your cohorts. The level of
immaturity that you have demonstrated does absolutely nothing to forward
your "cause". But you are a troll. Trolls do not do postings to actually
*prove* anything other then how many responses that they can get from a
post of theirs.

"like a" ... not name calling. The analogy was for illustrative purposes
only. You really need to take a bit of time and read what is posted. But
you are a troll and you are only posting to bait.

Not an ad hominem. Your examples of posting behavior appear to suggest that
you don't have a life...or a conscious. If so, you would have demonstrated
either by backing off and going someplace else, demonstrating *responsible*
behavior. By the way, twisting this all to be back on me is a rather
ineffective method of argument. This is about inappropriate
behavior/posting on *your* part. Your lack of manners and consideration to
a newsgroup and the people that post here. Would you go so far as to
demonstrate similar behavior on a newsgroup regarding recovery from rape?
From your behavior you have exhibited so far, that would be a yes reply.

And to further illustrate the point I am making. I would never consider
going to a newsgroup for the sole purpose of disrupting it. I personally
find that behavior repulsive and a waste of time. I have better things to
do with my life. I also have a considerable respect for this technology
(newsgroups as an example) to pull the type of behavior that you seem to
think you have the *right* to do.

What about addressing the issue of needing the information here...or were
you too busy trying to figure out an appropriate break to insert you
"commentary"?

I suspect that we have found the point of <supposed> contention. Maybe
studying contract law this summer might do you some good. Rather lame
attempt at diversion though. I think that others here discovered that there
was violations of the contract for ISP service. They took the appropriate
measures. I believe that at any time there is the "appeal" process that
could be followed through on? Obviously that was not done. So, instead of
realizing that maybe, just maybe it is time to be a grown up and make
appropriate decisions...the mentality that appears to be resorted to is to
continue the disruptive behavior. And then the only argument you can troll
with is some whining about your rights being violated. When in reality the
behavior that was in violation of the agreed upon contract is really the
issue.



> > Free speech *has* responsibilities too it.

Sorry hon, this is about *you* and your pals. I am not obligated to show
you something at this juncture when it is you that is being discussed. All
I have done at this point is reply to the trolling. That does not give you
the right that I perform some unspecified way to your demands.

You may now want to consider adding onto reading up not only on contract
law but what Free Speech is really about. You really have your "rights"
confused with selfish behavior.

Wrong. I have addressed this issue before. I would like to see *you* being
responsible for your behavior/posting *first*. Then if I disagree with you
I have the option of not reading your posts (although with the multiple
personalities posting like you are...I would not be able to avoid the posts
to begin with...). The responsibility to posting content is back on you.
Not me. I am responsible for what I post. I have stated already that I
should not have to monitor every single thing that my children read. I know
this is futile to even bring up to a troll...because you really don't care,
only about your selfish behavior. Maybe you think it *is* okay for a parent
to have to monitor every thing that a child reads on a newsgroup that is
named alt.sewing?

If you knew anything about Free Speech...contract law and responsibility it
would not have been lost on you. Thank you for demonstrating the point that
I was baiting you on. I would guess that you are somewhere in the realm of
late teen? You must have zero initiative because at that age I had studied
contract law and even understood what it meant, was well aware of the value
of Free Speech and I sure had an understanding of responsibility and what
it truly means.

ENOUGH ALREADY!!

Remember that you may be dealing with *CHILDREN*....they may be the ones
trolling.... *CHILDREN* LOVE using vulgar language....it makes them FEEL
all *grown up* even though we know they aren't. Anatomically correct
words are not vulgar just inappropriate. The only time they are
considered *vulgar* is when they are used in a vulgar context.

Until now I have *chosen* to ignore the troll posts. Now the
*anti-troll* posts are getting just as bad. NO I AM NOT PRO-TROLL. I
just want to see the ng get *BACK ON TOPIC*.

PLEASE START TO IGNORE ALL TROLL POSTS. I know it is difficult and
nerve racking at times but PLEASE TRY so it will go away.

Well this is the one and only time I will communicate concerning troll
posts, anit-troll posts, vulgar or inappropriate language and such.

Attacks against me o rthe things I have said will only *PROVE* who the
true bone heads are.

Not conforming to YOUR standard was the only "crime" as you call it.

Oh? Is THAT what you want to teach the CHILDREN who read this ng? They

Perhaps you should read some CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. You have failed to
prove me wrong on even one point I have made. You have no argument and
you know it, and you also know there is nothing on an intellectual level
you can do to combat me. You have ignored the real issues in my
statements above.

Nor do I have an obligation. You sure do like to make obvious
statements.

True. And I made my choice and you must deal with it and respect my
rights.

I imagine many would disagree with you, even in this group.

Oh, so YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR RAISING YOUR CHILDREN,
AND INSTEAD YOU WANT *ME* TO BE RESPONBSIBLE FOR THEM. CAN I SEND THEM
SOME BOOZE?

You talk a lot about responsibility, but in the final analysis, you want
nothing to do with it. Responsibility is something that YOU THINK
applies only to other people--people who you do not like. But precious
little YOU don't want to be inconveinced by it. You want to have
others raise your kids for you.

(I'm sure you'll have NO response to this....what can you say???
nothing).

<Glare> I also have sewn, to balance the butchness of writing science
fiction novels. Sewing is closer to life than keyboarding -- many more
flexible hand gestures, more topological thinking.

I keep telling people that if you play with the trolls, you have to buy
them dinner. I've seen a lot of people ignoring them in this group,
probably a higher percentage than in most groups that this particular
bunch of people has invaded.

You've put yourself in the position of a woman who's decided to tell off
street catcallers -- it's admirable, but it can get you into wrangles
(though not into the physical dangers you might face if you were dealing
with street catcallers).

Ignoring the trolls works as well as ignoring the "hey, baby, baby"
calling guys.

Your life might become more interesting if you interact with the trolls
in a human fashion -- sort of like telling street panhandlers "sorry,"
rather than ignoring them or berating them for not having jobs.

Don't know how much you know about the really famous trolls, but I've
never heard of any of them being kept offline for long. And being
hostile to them, even if you think it's justified, tends to breed
hostilities that despammers and cancellers and various other hangers-on
in the net abuse community are prepared to deal with, but I'm not quite
sure you know what you could be getting into. Fortunately for your
group, alt.sewing isn't considered a hard target.

All this fuss over a FIFI. If you ask me, this group of sewers can't
be half daft....because when all is said and done, we know how to sew
one and where we could locate the material.......and You still don't.
So there. Joy

You are being mean to me. But that's ok. I'm going to turn hurts into
halos and go on my merry way. And my sewing penis vaginal discharge
will continue too.
