While I would prefer if Josh would respond in an honest and honorable way, I
respect that since he cannot he has left the conversations. I think his

I learned some time ago how much better this group can be if you kill
file Snit. I have never understood why more people don't do the same..
I'm curious. Why do you not kill file Windows advocates who fit your
profile?
While I can see where it gets old as I repeat the same truths over and over
again to those who lie, wouldn't it make just as much sense - or more - to
KF the trolls? Either way... no harm done and no offense taken. I am happy
to even help those who wish to KF me and do not know how.
Same reason he KFs Mac advocates who do not.

Interesting that Snit appears on everyone's list...no matter what side
of the fence they sit on.
Josh
I upset trolls on both sides of the fence.
To all those that are new to CSMA, Josh is a proven liar and troll. He
does not advocate for any Macs, but apologizes for Microsoft.

Because not everybody is a hedonistic mental midget.
This is an experiment to see if there are any people left in this
newsgroup who advocate the Macintosh. The Windows advocates that you
speak of are necessary to provide a foundation for which the Macintosh
advocates should be advocating against. Plus I think it would be
difficult for me to find Windows advocates who lower themselves to the
degree of the Mac "advocates".

It's interesting to hear that they continue to engage in their diatribe
among themselves. That right there is telling all by itself. As I said
when I started my experiment: They're only proving my point.

Josh, you shouldn't talk about yourself in third person, and

There are plenty. But lots of them get caught up in your trolling

Here is some of what you call noise:
* My honestly pointing out your silly name calling and why you do it:
A Maccie is someone who has made a point Josh cannot refute so
he calls the person names hoping to obfuscate the issue.
* My honestly pointing out the absurdity of your claims that a subset
of security suggestions is more effective than the whole:
<http://snipurl.com/uhqz>
* My honestly pointing out how you dishonestly snip:
<http://snipurl.com/uhqt>
* My honestly pointing out how you flip flop in your claims of
immunity or near-immunity: <http://snipurl.com/uhqw>
In each case I have honestly pointed out your irrational or contradictory
claims, your trolling, or your other poor behavior. You have no honest and
honorable response. Knowing that you are making the wise choice to not
respond at all... I do hope you maintain the level of wisdom you show with
that but do no sour it by adding to your pile of lies.

Well, as long as we Mac advocates doesn't sink to your name-calling
level, we're home free.
People like Muahman and Edwin are self-admitted trolls. They know they
act like immature idiots. You pretend - like Snit - that you're not a
troll and that you are truly ignorant about computers, so in a way
you're a lot worse than trolls like Edwin.
Which, I'm sure, is your goal anyway.

Edwin has accused people of different illegal sex acts, though I do not know
if that one is on his list. Edwin has also focused on toilet flushing, glue
sniffing, and other such oddities.

You're absolutely certain the two are not even slightly related?

Not even slightly. Figuring out what things are has absolutely nothing
to do with what one might hope.

So when you're reading a menu in a restaurant, it's not because you hope to
find food you'd like to eat, when you read a bus schedule, it's not because
you hope to find a bus to carry you to your destination, when you try to
find out if a hotel has a vacancy, it's not because you're hoping for a

Your silly semantic games and trolling are pathetic. When someone asks if
you are a child because they believe you are acting as one that does not
mean they hope you are one. This is true no matter how pathetic your circus
becomes.

I could have guessed you would say that.
Examples:
Wanting Pixar not to be using Macs doesn't make it so.
Wanting Vista's speech recognition doesn't make it so.
You expect me to go digging through years worth of posts to find you
examples? Especially when you'd never do any such thing yourself?

Other than fulfilling some sick need to get in the last word, of what value
was your above trolling? I really do not understand. Will you please
explain.
If you do or you do not, though, the facts stay the same: you silly semantic
claims are pathetic. When someone asks if you are a child because they
believe you are acting as one that does not mean they hope you are one.
This is true no matter how pathetic your circus becomes.

At least you make it clear you would need to dig through years worth of
stuff - so not even you think it is common.
Also keep in mind that if you cannot find examples and there are some, maybe
for each of those examples Alan jumped in to defend you.
Can you support your claims or just blame your lack of support on other
people's "circuses"
