Atlas Bugged
Award applicants, who managed to practically turn <alt.tv.stargate-atlantis>
(as well as some other groups, but mainly lower volume groups, like Skiffy
channel) into a 90% Serenity/Firefly header group this week by being idiots
about my weekly post/link.
You've really done a hell of a job of getting my "off-topic" link out of the
public eye, nice work.
Now let's try this one more time, just for the room-temperature IQ among
you, nice and slowly:
Don't
respond
to
the
single
post.
Killfile it or ignore it if you don't like it, but stop trying to rule over
the world. My link posting has become a bug zapper - insects trying to stop
my single link-post have ended by turning the whole group into my link post,
except multiplied by 20, 30, 40, 50 more posts.
Now, I don't want to see this happen again, and unless you have IQ's far
lower than even I imagine (about 72, FTR), neither do you. So we agree.
Just KF me, I've certainly KF'ed you, and leave others be to decide if they
want to look into a link about a particular sci-fi show. OK?

Stop whining, act like an adult for a change and do what the occupants of
the newsgroups request. If you stop, there's nothing to complain about.
But noooo, oh nooooo, you know better than that. Usenet's got no rules at
all anywhere so you can do what you want.

Yeah, well then here's a suggestion for you, Einstein....try not posting
your spew about me. If you'd like to not hear from me, I'd be delighted.
But the prerequisite is to shut your pie-hole regarding me. Here's your

And as for "often wrong"... where?
Which part was wrong? seems quite accurate from where I'm sitting.
And "nasty" and "critical"?
Only as much as deserved.

If true, then why attack me? We were getting along fine ignoring each
other, but then couldn't resist the urge to get out her poison pen. I
killfiled her nasty ass months ago and never addressed her. Moreover, I
condemned her abuser, Flipper Fuckhead.
> And as for "often wrong"... where?
No, there's no debate, not with her, not with you. You disagree, fine, why
don't you try contributing to the groups instead continuing crap
baby-threads that she re-initiated?

Yeah, you agree with her, got it. Who cares? STFU, as I did after my
initial disagreement and killfiling of her. Why does Usenet have to be a
bunch of little men like you instead of people just adding to the various
topics of interest?
I'm trying to put a stop to that. Folks that dislike me - ignore me or
killfile me, but just *shut up* and try discussing and adding to the group
topics. Only nymshifters and actual attackers (like love2play) require any
action or response at all, and that's because they purposely assault
everyone else and leave us no choice.
bel...@pacbell.net
Hmm. Let's take it line by line and see if AB has a point. Here's what
Eva wrote in the linked message:
> Bugged has been asked/told time and time again not to crosspost his FAQ to
> irrelevant newsgroups.
This is a fact; it's easy to verify with Google Groups that AB has been
asked many times not to crosspost. So we can't call this "inaccurate".
"Devoid of content"? Obviously untrue, since, well, there is content;
Eva did make a point. (Unless AB has a different idea of "content", in
which case we'll have to wait for his definition.) "Critical"? No
criticism here, just a statement of fact. "Nasty"? Again, Eva's
sentence is a statement of fact, although one could make a case that
the phrase "time and time again" displays some amount of exasperation,
although it's a far cry from "nasty". "Often wrong"? Obviously not true
about this sentence, as we have here a statement of fact which, as I
said earlier, is easily verified.
But let's move on.
> Since he thinks he is in the right
Another statement of fact, based on observation of AB's behavior,
easily verified.
> and won't listen
> to reason,
You could call this opinion, but again, it's based on AB's behavior
(Google Groups, easily verified, etc.). In the context of the
discussion of which Eva was a part (whether AB's continuous posting of
a Firefly FAQ in non-Firefly groups is acceptable), AB has shown that
he is unwilling to compromise even the slightest. Even a suggestion
that he add "OT" to the subject of his "Firefly FAQ" posts was
rejected.
> he's been killfiled by many people.
Again, a fact. Now, to be fair, AB pointed out in his reponse to Eva
that "thousands read my stuff," and maybe that's true. Of course, that
doesn't refute, or in any way address, whether or not many others have
killfiled him. I myself have witnessed AB being killfiled many times.
Well, OK, I witnessed many people writing <plonk> in responses to AB,
then never replying to him again, which I assume means he's been
killfiled; I suppose it's possible that everyone just _pretended_ to
killfile him. But I'm going to give this one to Eva.
We still haven't seen anything that can be called "inaccurate, devoid
mostly of content, critical, nasty, and often wrong."

Well, he has actually offered this excuse, so again: statement of fact.
> I am
> sure *he* thinks that makes sense.
Well, this must be what AB is complaining about, because this is the
first truly conjectural statement. The emphasis seems to be "critical",
but I wouldn't characterize this as "nasty" by any stretch of the
imagination. In any case, since this statement is really saying "I am
sure AB's reasons make sense to him," it is most likely a true
statement, although if AB would like to tell us that his reasons don't
make sense to him, that would lend weight to the idea that Eva's
statement here is "inaccurate."
> The worst thing about it is that he's causing financial losses to the

> ;-)
The last sentence is obviously a joke. For those who may be
humor-challenged, Eva even showed the courtesy of appending a smiley to
make sure it's interpreted as a joke. But perhaps this is what AB means
by "devoid of content."
And that's it. I'm afraid I'm not seeing what AB is complaining about.
Eva wrote a mostly factual message describing AB's past behavior, and
where it's not factual, it's either making a joke, or has so little
emotional content it can hardly be said to have any. In any case, AB's
use of "inaccurate, devoid mostly of content, critical, nasty, and
often wrong" seems to be a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

I think that's not an accurate metaphor. When a pot calls a kettle black,
the pot is accusing, *correctly*, the kettle of doing something of which
the pot is guilty itself.
In other words, AB might have been a pot, but Eva was definitely not a
kettle in the quoted message. Since AB's accusations were inaccurate. it
was more like the pot calling the silverware black.
Yes, I am aware that this isn't helpful in any way.

Thank you for a well thought-out and obviously researched rebuttal of AB's

I have formed a theory, would you like to hear it? I think we are the
victims of Steve's Revenge a la Brimstone. Steve was sent to Hell, the
Devil couldn't cope so he moved to Smallville, and Steve took over the
place. He then decided to send us Bugged to get his revenge but is keeping
Ezekiel down there until he is satisfied we have been punished enough.

No problem; his characterization of your message was a ridiculous
exaggeration, and I wanted the record to show that, especially for
anyone who didn't bother to click the link he gave and see what you

Who knows why he does the things he does? No one ever accused him of
having an overabundance of intelligence. He seems to get off on
reviling and denigrating those who disagree with him -- and that's all
it takes to earn his abuse, just disagree with him.

Well, Bugged obviously didn't do his homework and just used a few ill-chosen
adjectives. Too busy working on his FAQ, I guess...

There are plenty of posters like that on the Usenet; that's the beauty and
the curse of non-moderation and I definitely prefer that to the majority of
web-based discussion forums, which very often suffer from power-crazy
moderators. Hopefully, Bugged will get over himself eventually and will
stop bugging us with his FAQ.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but he's been promoting that thing
since at least October of 2005. I don't know when he started
cross-posting it, but history suggests he's not going to get over
himself any time soon. I'm afraid the best thing to do is killfile him,
but that doesn't bring much relief to those (like me) who use Google.

I saw Firefly. I also saw the movie. I'm inclined to believe that "like

Fillion just *cannot act*.
