There have been a number of trolls who have been flaming - whether to boost
there weak self image, out of bigotry, or whatever. They post absurd
flames, and quite often I respond. Then they respond. Etc.

Well, I would like to offer a chance at an amnesty to those that have been
disrupting CSMA and COLA with their flames. If they are willing to stop
flaming, I will not bring up their flames again.

If they can not, and insist on disrupting CSMA and COLA with their flames, I
will, of course, hold open the option to respond.

I hope they have enough self respect to take me up on this offer. I really
do.

I think it's your self image you are trying to boost.

Yes, you have been known to respond to your sock puppets.

Ah, does this mean you will leave the group again? If so, I thank you in
advance - it would be the best thing you could ever do.

So you will stop flaming AND you will stop consolidating your flaming as well?
That's good news!

Ah, that's the problem - I don't think you CAN stop disrupting CSMA and thus
you are going to continue fuel your own flaming.

Ah, that's another problem - I'm pretty sure you don't have the self respect to
stand by your word and thus you will continue to flame. Bah, typical!

I disagree, but you are welcome to think that. A strong indication of poor
self image is the need to attack others. You do that a lot. There may be
other reasons, but certainly fit into that category.

Your list off accusations below is mostly dishonest and not worth directly
commenting on. If you wish to continue disrupting CSMA with your flames, I
can not stop you.

Get real, Snit.

It's not "a number of trolls", it's _one_ troll.

It's you.

Get that in your head.

Sandman doesn't attack others a lot. In fact, I cannot remember when he
ever attacked anybody at all. His list of "accusations" is not
dishonest, it is merely the same observations that so many people have
made about you.

I have been in some mean discussions with some people here in this
newsgroup, yet I suddenly find myself on the same side as them when it
comes to you.

You see many trolls, but everybody else only sees one.

You might not ever find out why so many people think you are a troll,
but you can at least believe us. What's the point in being the only one
to constantly tell everybody else that they are trolls anyway?

I am not Steve Carroll.
I am not Tim Adams.
I am not Sandman.

I am me, and only me.

No matter how much you try to argue otherwise, I am not these other people -
and they, clearly, often troll and flame.

He does. Look at his posts. Do you need examples? I would be happy to
look at his last, say, 25 posts and get quotes for you.

I am someone. But I am not the only one he flames.

One, your observations are not accurate. Two, if you want to make an
argument, you will need to provide support if you want me to believe you.

What is your support. What is it you think I do that the others I listed do
not. I can list multiple flames and lies from each of them...

The bottom line is I am working on reducing the number of flames and trolls.
I am offering to stop responding to them by pointing out my view of them if
they will do the same with me. This does not, of course, stop them from
flaming others, but if they agree to this with me it would be a good start.

I seriously doubt they will rise to the level of being able to do so. I
hope, however, that I am wrong. I truly hope they are mature enough to stop
the silly wars and that they really do have intentions other than to disrupt
the group. Their flaming accomplishes only that...

That was my point.

And that's the part you don't understand. These people are NOT known to
do this.

And believe me, I have had my fights with some of these people. I have
no reason to defend them other than the fact that you are very simply
absolutely wrong.

And the sooner you get that, the better will it be; not for them, but
for you.

> > Get that in your head.
>
> I understand that it is your claim.

It's not my claim, it's nearly everybody's claim by now. You have
managed to do what nobody else was ever capable of: you have united
comp.sys.mac.advocacy.

No, he doesn't.

Sandman is one of the oldest regulars. He is NOT known to attack others.

And no doubt all of your examples would be silly semantic games, as
usual.

Snit, you don't get it. I told you, but you ignore it.

Sandman doesn't attack you. It is your trolling, your semantic games,
that people find offensive. Sandman is not attacking you, he is reacting
to what he (and everybody else here) perceives as your constant trolling
attacks.

And this is not opinion, the perception is due to the fact that you are
playing semantic games. YOU are the csma troll, not everybody else.

You will find that most people here will agree that they are.

> you want me to believe you.

I do not want to make an argument, I am simply TELLING you something.

If you believe me, you'll find that the flame wars in csma will come to
an end or at least will change to a much lower level.

And if you don't believe me, you will simply continue to fight
everybody.

It's up to you. I am not making a case here, I am merely stating the
obvious. Stop the silly semantic games and the flame war will end;
continue the silly semantic games and people will remain angry at you
for your constant trolling.

And your accusing everybody else of being trolls doesn't change a thing.

> What is your support. What is it you think I do that the others I listed

You play semantic games. And I have pointed this out to you very very
often. As have others.



> The bottom line is I am working on reducing the number of flames and
trolls.

Snit, you are the number one reason for flames and the number one troll
in csma.

We have had some huge flame wars here and lots of trolling, but you
really took the cake.

The only way you could actually reduce the flaming and trolling is by
changing YOUR behaviour.

They do not flame others, not regularly anyway. You don't have to worry
about their behaviour towards others, because it is YOU and your
trolling who brings out the worst in them.



> I seriously doubt they will rise to the level of being able to do so.

Snit, they are already at this level, which is why they are able to
communiocate with others in the newsgroup without causing frustration.

It is you who has to rise, not them.

Your prayers have been answered.

They have been here for years. The disruptions only came with you. Snit,
don't you get it? YOU are the cause, not the cure.

They are. Read their posts. Look at the last 25... 50... 100... posts.
Any subset. This *is* what they are doing. This is something that would be
fairly easy to verify - simply pick some subset of their posts and see if
they are putting someone else down.

Look for yourself. The facts do not support your position. Look below, I
present facts, not just opinion.

You may agree or disagree with their flames and put downs, but it is clear
that is what they are doing. This is an easy to see objective fact.

No. They would be direct quotes from Sandman. Here, from just few posts..
*all* from just today:

----------
"I suppose that's a compliment when it's coming from you."

"Only people considered to be the largest troll this group has ever seen and
the most killfiled person in the history of csma should leave."

"Click the link, Einstein. It talkes you here:"

"*zzzz*"

"Don't be afraid to post something relevant."

"You're pretty loony, Rick."

"Yes, leave the group. Your flaming will stop immediately."

"Why are you intentionally broken?"

"Thanks for admitting that your opinion means squat."

"I would have told you the value my Irony Gauge displayed, but it exploded
from overload due to your post."

" Uh, obviously, since csma was specifically created to attract the trolls
from the real Mac groups. The mac users in csma are here to make fun of
trolls such as John, Edwin, Snit, Mayor et all. It's fun! :)"

"No, I think you're immune to logic. :)"
----------

Most of those, by the way, were not directed to me or at me... not that it
would really matter if they were. The point is proven - Sandman does flame
and insult. He does it a lot.

Anyone who reads his posts knows he does so.

You are wrong. He rarely responds to content but attacks me instead. Do
you need me to quote posts from him where he says he hates me?


>

I have never said that everyone else is a troll... I have listed specific
trolls and can pull up specific quotes to support my claims.

Look at Steve Carroll's recent claims against me - where attributes a quote
to me that he authored. He is not merely mistaken - I have pointed his
"error" out to him, and even linked to his original post where he made the
statement and yet he persists. Steve is not playing a semantic game... he
is clearly lying. Do you defend that lie of Steve's? Do you need me to
point to multiple posts where he has repeated this lie? Do you need me to
point to my posts where I correct him?

I am guessing you will not take me up on any of that - it goes against your
claims and supports mine.

You are telling me your opinion, and you are welcome to it. I am showing
you, with specific examples, that your opinion is not consistent with the
facts. You can continue to hold your opinion if you like.

I did leave for three weeks. The flame wars were not reduced as far as I

I have no desire to fight people. I am even asking them to stop flaming. I

I do not hold myself accountable for their behavior. Their behavior is up

Please be specific with what you want me to change - including examples of
where I do what you accuse me of and I will consider it. I sincerely hope
you compile such a list, but I doubt you will. If you were to try, you
would find the facts do not support your claims.

Look above at the Sandman quotes. You are clearly not correct that they do
not flame others.

You are right that I bring out some of the worst of their trolling and
flaming. They do not like the fact that I point out their lies and games in
such a specific way.

I, too, communicate without playing their silly games. Again, look at
Sandman's quotes from today. The facts do not support your claims.

You have hit on another area which makes me the target - it is not just that
I point out their lies with such specific details, I also am the "new" guy,
even though I have been here a while.

I do not join the group-think of CSMA. I will always be an outsider here.

Always playing the victim, eh Snit? Ebot had you picked right from the
word go.

Y'now, I don't think I've ever come across anyone before such as
youself in any other NG, who could single-handedly unify troll and
advocate alike into a such coagulant mass of resistance against him or
herself.

But I believe that there is worse in here than your mischeif making,
Snit. That is; the constant cross-posts into COLA made by quite a few
of the regulars, troll and non troll alike. Gad, I might even be guilty
of that somewhere.

Anyways, I'm out of here. I'm leaving for a while... but like Edwin
maybe not for good. Ha! my final post to CSMA and it's to Snit! LOL

CU and the circus L8r.

No. I am not playing the victim. I merely point out facts. If you
disagree, please look at the facts and respond to them, do not snip them and
post this inflammatory BS. You selected half a sentence to respond to and
did so very much out of context.

In other words, you are doing what others blame me of, but I am offering
evidence while they do not.

That's because everybody already knows you and your posting style.

And the reason people flame you is because of your trolling, not because
everybody is evil.

You are not flamed because you speak the truth, you are flamed because
you are a hideous troll and keep disrupting the newsgroup.

Exactly. And then I would point out that he is playing semantic games
again, followed by one of the three standard Snit replies:

1. A list of unrelated quotes from a two-year old discussion between
Snit and some sort of Steve.

2. A longish essay about how Snit is so good and everybody else is a
troll out to get Snit.

3. A short paragraph pointout out that morality and legality must be a
part of any discussion and how I have lost the argument because I
haven't addressed these issues (preferably after it has been made clear
to Snit for several years that everybody disagrees with his views of
morality and legality).

We already know that we disagree about those people.

The only person there seems to be no disagreement about is you.
Everybody agrees that you are a frustrating troll.

I have had dozens of discussions with these people. I find myself
disagreeing with very many people. But most of the people you list as
flamers have not flamed me.

When they talk to you, however, they become frustrated by your semantic
games and flame you, because they consider your silly games attacks.
It's quite simple really.

They are merely flaming a disruptive, frustrating troll. If you would
only realise that people regard your semantic games as trolling and very
impolute behaviour, you would understand why everybody seems to attack
you.

Yes it is. When you want to make the claim that Sandman typically
attacks people, you better don't make the claim to someone who has known
Sandman in the newsgroup for several years.

What you claim about Sandman doesn't match my experiences. It's very
simple.

Really? I would assume that most of the above were addressed at you.
Want me to check?

It seems to me that Sandman flames merely you and Rick. I can certainly
understand his motives. But baseless attacks these are not.

There is no content, Snit. That's what people are frustrated about. Once
you enter a discussion, the subject is gone and the discussion revolves
only around you and your silly games, around people flaming you because
of them and around you not understanding that you were the troll who
caused the flame war.

How can he possibly respond to content when there is none?

All of them addressed at a well-known troll who nobody can have a
discussion with without becoming frustrated about his behaviour.

I do not deny that these people flame you. I deny that they are known to

games.

And everybody disagrees with you about what these facts are.

Your facts are opinions, Snit. And you won't find anybody who agrees
with you that your opinions are facts.

No, Snit. You have upset many people by playing semantic games and
snipping replies and changing the subject and so on.

In that case you will continue to be the sole isolated believer in your
facts. What good is that?

And I assume when everybody disagrees with you here, your opinion will

And soon we'll have another flame war when you point out everybody's
lies while everybody points out your stupid semantic games?

Then stop your silly semantic games. It's very very simple.

It's up to you to stop the trolling they are so upset about, not up to
them to stop calling your trolls.

That's because the offer is empty.

While you make the "offer" in one thread you are already trolling in the
next.

Boy, you are really either a very good troll or a really frutsrtaingly

An Eliza script could do what you do.

quotes from the majority of his posts on that day.

Funny you should mention that - in the very topic we are discussing *I*, not
you, am the one providing content - in the form of claims and then proof of
my claims. You provide your opinion and then can not back it up. Not very
meaningful content, unless you think the discussion is about you and your
views. I prefer to look at facts.

This is common in my discussions in CSMA. Look at my recent discussion with
"hoo". I found specific proof to counter his faulty interpretation of
Apple's EULA. The conversation should be over, yet he continues to play
games.

Do you blame me for his games?

I am providing you with what you say I do not provide - content. I give you
specific examples and proof of my claims and you do not respond with an
intelligent response.

Do you blame Steve Carroll's lie on me? Do you deny his lie?

Again - this is the topic... who is at fault. Clearly Steve is lying. It
is easy to verify. You complain about a lack of content, but when I present
it you do not even look at it.

You are playing a game. Do you blame me for your game?

Will you continue this claim now that I have shown specific proof to show
you are wrong - at least in the case of Sandman. Will you admit that Steve
Carroll is lying.

What more evidence do you need? What more content?

In what way are the specific quotes I find opinions? You have shown that
you could not tell Sandman's flames against me from his flames against
others. You have run from commenting on Steve Carroll's clear and easy to
prove lie.

The Google record is not based on my opinion.

If you are not going to acknowledge the facts, and will not even refute
them, but just repeat your mantra that so much is my fault, this discussion
does little good.

You are playing a silly game and I can not stop you from doing so.

I do not think you will get "everyone" to agree on anything. But if you
want to show I am incorrect, please let's work toward a reasonable way to
objectively quantify posts as a "flame" and then look at the posts while I
am here and while I am gone.

I am not interested in having you gather opinions from people I have
embarrassed and then having you present it as some sort of "proof". What
value would there be in that? I suggest we look at facts, not opinions.

Why not change yours? As has been shown, with clear examples, you are

I am pointing to the specific evidence where you have been proven wrong

I can not prove that I do not do something... it is up to you to present

Your opinion. You are welcome to it, but please note you provide no
support.

Note that when you play your games, I can cut and paste the same reply and
it makes just as much sense... in that way you are playing games that reduce

Andrew is well known in this group as a calm, logical, level-headed
poster who isn't prone to trolling or unfounded attacks. I respect him
and his word, even though we've often disagreed in the past.

That mass of insanity you puke into this group will never count as
"support" or "proof" of any kind.

Then you are a shameless liar, as you have been given the proof you
demand on innumerable occasions. You ignore it, snip it, and then
demand it again.

Or even worse, you'll acknowledge it, agree with it at least in part,
and then go on as if none of that happened. I've had you do that to
me, demand proof, then accept my quotes, then go right back to calling
me a liar, and you even went so far to invent a convoluted argument
whereby I was a liar whether or not my quotes showed I told the truth.

Facts are on his side.

You're just sick in the head, Snit. Your goal is to have everyone
talking about you, and whether its good or bad things they're saying
doesen't matter to you. Arguing pro or con about the Mac isn't your
goal. You've got the most die-hard Mac supporters as much against you
as you do the Wintrolls. All that matters to you is being the center
of attention, all the time.

Seek professional help. Seriously. No flame or slam. You need help.
Really.

I said nothing to contradict what you are saying - I simply pointed out an
accurate point that is important for this discussion: accusations are being
made against me that are based on support. Group think is not a form of
support - facts are. The facts of what I have and have not done are easy to
find with Google. If someone wants to make a claim against me they could do
so with facts. This is what I do when I make accusations.

I can easily point to my recent accusations against Sandman, Steve Carroll,
and, yes, even you. I can bring up support. In this very thread I have
shown Sandman to be someone who frequently flames and makes trolling
remarks, and I have made references to Steve Carroll dishonestly attributing
his own comments to me. While you have not come up as much in this
conversation, I can just as easily point to your recent game of making
claims about my comments - claims I was able to show were not consistent
with my actual views.

Do you doubt any of those? Do you need me to point to the specifics? I
easily can, and would be happy to. My guess is you will run from the chance
to see who is being accurate based on the actual facts.

Look below at your comments - can you support any of your accusations? Any
at all?

Everyone must ignore Snit and his sock puppets. The man is never

The problem being that every one of your 'quotes' were taken out of

Because you would be attempting to build a case where these imaginary "trolls"
you claim exist troll people. And since the reality is that you are the troll
and everyone interact with you - you have to support your claim with examples
of flames and trolls that do not include you.

So, let's assume there are thirty people in csma that think you're the biggest
troll in the group. We know the number is biggeer, but let's just assume it's
as low as thirty. What you need to do is to find cases for all these thirty
people that you write off as "trolls" or something similar ("kooks" is the name
Tholen use - your identical twin) are constantly abusing other users than
yourself.

Isn't it funny that you are the only one you could ever call "observant" in
this manner?

Have you noticed that no one - not even the people that I -DO- generally engage
in wild discussions with, such as Edwin, hjas come to your aid and aghreed what
a horrible person I am?

Don't you just feel awfully lonely in being the last "sane" person in csma
which according to you pretty much only consists of trolls that attack and
flame you?

Frustrating, to say the least.

Well, the examples were not all to me - and they were indistinguishable.

Your flames against me, while sometimes more extreme than your flames
against others, are not that different.

Now we have proof.

You say this with no proof.

This is the type thing that I am talking about - I offer proof, you do not.

This whole thread has sunk to the level that Edwin displays here.

Several people make accusations against me, but not one shred of evidence
has been provided to support those accusations. Not one. People have
quoted each other making comments *about* me, but not one comment of mine
has been shown as an example of what I am accused of. Not one.

I, on the other hand, have provided specific quotes that offer conclusive
proof of my accusations. I pointed to Sandman's trolling / flaming and I
pointed to just one of Steve Carroll's many lies.

Nobody has found any reason to excuse there actions - but they do anyway.

These are the facts of this thread: zero evidence has been presented against
me - undisputed proof has been presented against those I make accusations
against.

So, sure, if those that want to make baseless accusations against me wish to
place me in their KF, I would appreciate it - maybe you will be less likely

than 30. If that is true, list the names: we both know you can not and will
not, because you are lying.

2) I need to do anything that you suggest. I have no such need to follow
your wishes. I have provided quotes from you proving that you troll and
flame - not just me, but others. Your comments attacking me and others were
indistinguishable - you flame often, just as I said.

3) Tholen and I are twins - even if you meant this in a colloquial sense,
you are connecting me to someone who I have very little in common with. You
will claim commonality, but you will never support your claim.

The sad thing is that the same people who make baseless accusations against

look to their biased views as any type of support?

Who will prove me wrong and make it clear that you recognize Sandman's

And face it, if I did not want to respond to the tolling of others, I would
not. If people do not want to respond to any post of mine, for any reason,
they do not have to.

So you say, without a single example or shred of evidence. Yet I can easily
find such examples about you. Here is one of my favorites:

http://snipurl.com/d3mv

See, it is easy to point to a post where your lies are made very, very
clear. You repeatedly pretend - LIE - that when I talked about a specific
timeline on 10/19/04 that it took place on some other day... you actually
tried to pretend - LIE - that it took place over multiple days.

You repeated this lie many times.

Here is a specific lie from you, where you pretend and lie about the time
before 10/19/04 being important to the timeline:

ooop's, 'this' lie still isn't working for Snit, the "days off" occurred
*before* "then".   ("then" being 19 Oct 04)  

You knew, for the record, that this comment of yours was a lie. You even
stated:

Snit has claimed that Steve ran away *AFTER* john's post on the 19th,
that was in fact the crux of his argument......

You knew that the time line was on 10/19. You may have thought that it
continued past that date, but you clearly knew that your comments about it
being before that date was a lie. You knowingly lied, and, if history is
any predictor, you will lie in response to this post.

See, when I say you lie, I can back it up with quotes from you that are
clear and unambiguous. If someone has a question about it and wants more
details on your lie, I am happy to provide more evidence.

Do you need proof of the concept of groupthink now? In any case, if you
think the "maligning" is not wrong, then please present your support. I
quoted one of your lies, above. I could quote more. Do you need me to in
order to make my point about your lies? Remember all the lies you told to
avoid answering this question:

If someone breaks a law, is the very fact that a law has been broken
an immoral  act  in  your  view

Remember how you were completely unable to answer the question and had to
spew lies to try to hide behind your inability to answer. Care to prove me
wrong: do so now. Answer the question.

You know and I know you can not. You never were before, and you will not be
able to now. This has been fully discussed, and you denied it in the past.

http://snipurl.com/d3n6

And, let me guess: you will repeat the same lies now.

Yet the same people who accuse me with zero support will not comment on your
lies, at least not in an honest way.

No pretence...NO lie...My quote that follows IS important to the time line
as it proves your comments about Steve posting as John and then ceasing to
post was complete nonsense and a total fabrication by you!

Snit....

"Hey, Steve, funny how you stopped posting right after John offered
you such splendid support. Wonder why...."

When did John offer this "support"?

Snit....

""John" posts: 10:05" (on the 19th).

When does Snit claim Steve stops posting....

Snit....

"Steve posts: 10:10 and then stops
(but not for 4 days, as his reply implied)" (on the 19th)

Interestingly the above extract shows another of Snits lies....it clearly
shows Steve implying that he had 4 days break, the truth is that this is
Snits interpretation as Steve's actual post was.....

Steve...

"Snit. I just took a few days off with my wife and kids who had a
4 day weekend. You should try it sometime:)"

So when does Snit agree Steve took a break from posting?

Snit...

"Steve did not post on 10/16 ,10/17 , or 10/18"

So we have a situation where if Snit is to be believed John posts in support
of Steve on the 19th, Steve then has a break from posting after Johns post,
but for that to be true the "10/16 ,10/17 , or 10/18" must have occurred
'after' the 19th ........really?

Correct you said...

"Hey, Steve, funny how you stopped posting right after John offered

So again ..No lie!

Nonsense! unless you can have John posting and Steve ceasing to post for a
few days ALL occurring on the 19th. LOL

No dear boy, It is you who would have Steve ceasing to post after John's
post on the 19th not I, that has been your undoing all along......that and
your general dishonesty that is!

You have not, and cannot, show any lie of mine...period!

About as unambiguous as your claim that Steve tried to obfuscate the
issue.......

"Steve tried to obfuscate the issue by talking about a 4 day period"

When in actual fact it was you that tried to obfuscate the issue when you
said......

"Steve posts: 10:10 and then stops
(but not for 4 days, as his reply implied)"

Steve implied no such thing, that was another of your lies, Steve was quite
explicit wrt the 4 days and who they applied to, as shown above!

Do you not see Wally's quotes? Do you really not understand how Usenet
quoting works? Wow... you are a dim one.

Here, a post with quotes from you and Wally, where you were both caught
lying.

http://snipurl.com/d3vl

This is not insinuation or conjecture or opinion... this is proof. You both
tried to pretend I meant something other than what I said. You both lied.

Now that I have brought your lies up again, you will both try to re-start
your circus instead of admitting to your lies.

I have no interest in re-hashing what was made very, very clear. You and

I enjoy watching to see how far the trolls will go. It is, you must admit,
quite amusing.

Note all the accusations against me. Not a single shred of evidence.

I, on the other hand, support my accusation. The trolls pretend to not get
the difference.

Oh, like WOW. Another post, made by snit to prove Wally lied.

Why not post Wally's posts, in his own words, to prove it?

Oh, that's right, you need to rewrite what he wrote to make it fit what

Nope. He lied. Period. As did you.

You can both run from that, but there is no doubt. You both pretended that
a timeline that happened in one day, 10/19/04, took place on other days.

You both were caught lying. Neither of you is man enough to admit it.

OK lets look at your "timeline" and let IT show who here is lying...

Your Timeline...

"Steve posts:  8:56, 8:58, 9:03, 9:05, 9:06, 9:10, 9:16, 9:33,
                      9:35, 9:52, 9:59, 10:00
        "John" posts: 10:05
        Steve posts:  10:10 and then stops....
                     
Now as far as my recollection goes these times were all on the 19th?.
And they were posted by you to show how Steve stopped posting straight after
Johns post @ 10:10, as you said...

"Hey, Steve, funny how you stopped posting right after John offered
you such splendid support. Wonder why...."

Immediately you are in trouble as your own timeline shows that not to be the
case, as Steve posted 5 minutes after John according to your own timeline,
but even ignoring that slip up, How does that timeline show what you say it
does when you go on to state that ........

"Steve did not post on 10/16 ,10/17 , or 10/18"

Explain how your timeline of the 19th shows how Steve stopped posting after
Johns post and yet the only break you can document of Steve's started 3 days
prior to it on the 16th........ooops!

> You have been caught lying. Your denial does not change a thing, Wally, not
> a thing at all.

You should add the proviso that it changes nothing in your mind, It will
appear differently to someone of sound mind!

So where is the lie? everything at that url is correct!

"My lists show him not posting on 17 & 18, but hey big deal its still not 4
days."

Do tell me that you are unaware how it could be 3 days on your list and yet
2 days on mine, LOL

and

"Now this is really cute, by your own admission Steve is shown to have taken
his break *BEFORE* the post by john, and yet you claim that Steve ran away
*AFTER* johns post, so if you are correct...

Steve had a 4 day vacation that only lasted 2or3 days,
He made the 16th,17th,& 18th appear after the 19th, then he ran away!
Only he couldn't have run very far as he was back posting on the 19th, but
of course before he could post on the 19th he had to replace it back where
it belongs after the 16th, 17th, & 18th, OK Snit I believe you ...ROTFLMAO"

Absolutely true, and consistent with my later posts on the subject.

Which timeline are you in reference to, the one from 10/19 (which I brought
up) or the one from the days prior (which Steve Carroll brought up).

So far we agree - this is timeline in question. Can we also agree that this
timeline does not show who did or did not post on the days prior?

You could have an *honest* disagreement about the timeline on the 19th, but
instead you focus on the following:



> "Steve did not post on 10/16 ,10/17 , or 10/18"
>
> Explain how your timeline of the 19th shows how Steve stopped posting after
> Johns post and yet the only break you can document of Steve's started 3 days

The timeline of 10/19/04 does not show that Steve did not post before that
date. Nor, of course, have I ever said it did. I pointed out the timeline
of the 19th, Steve responded with comments about the 4 days prior. It was
only then that those four days were brought into the conversation.

Above we agree the timeline in question takes place solely on 10/19. Here
you dishonestly try to connect it to the days prior.

We have done as you asked. We have looked at the timeline (and the comments
about it). They show, clearly and with no room for confusion, that you are
lying. Your specific lie is trying to tie two timelines from different days
into one.

My comment: http://snipurl.com/d4ck

You flame and troll many people - and, as you say, in multiple groups.
I have no argument with that.

Anyone who chastises me - esp. in the absence of any quotes from me -
while giving you a pass after seeing your quotes is showing their bias.

Why should I take anyone seriously who is clearly showing a strong bias?

Sandman's dishonest snipping, as seen above:

You flame and troll many people

Again: I post proof of my accusations. Those people who accuse me do not,
for they can not. They are lying.

There is no possible way I could have altered the Google record to make it
appear Sandman is doing what he is doing - there is no doubt I am correct
about his dishonest snipping.

All that is not in question is the fact that your timeline was posted in an
effort to show Steve stopped posting sometime *after* Johns post, in that
regard you failed miserably as the only break you can identify started
several days prior to Johns post!

Your own admission does that ...a timeline is unnecessary, unfortunately for
you your timeline is useless wrt that which you attempted to show, that
being that Steve stopped posting on the 19th.

> Nor, of course, have I ever said it did.

Nor, of course, have I ever said it did, I simply say that it proves your
comment of "Hey, Steve, funny how you stopped posting right after John
offered you such splendid support. Wonder why...." a complete fabrication
by you, your later admission as to when Steve *actually* stopped posting
proves just how incompetent your effort was!

To show ...What? do elaborate.

You think it strange that when asked about a break in posting that Steve
would comment on the circumstances surrounding an ACTUAL break rather that
your phantom one?

It has to connect to the days prior, as that is the only time that the facts
that your timeline attempted to prove actually occurred, you stuffed up big
time, and now you want the timeline to stand but its failed conclusion to be
ignored......priceless LOL

In that case you can back up your statement that....

"Hey, Steve, funny how you stopped posting right after John offered
you such splendid support. Wonder why...."

where is this break *after* John offered such splendid support, I have shown
where it could only have happened *before* Johns post by quoting you...

"Steve did not post on 10/16 ,10/17 , or 10/18"

Who is lying simply rests on your ability to show this break after Johns
post, your inevitable failure to do so prove your lie........simple!

Look at the timeline. It is all on 10/19. It is not before. Above you
agreed to that:

Now as far as my recollection goes these times were all on the 19th?.

Now you want to include times from before the 19th. That is your lie.
Below you continue to make insults and references to the days before the
19th - days that have nothing to do with the timeline of the 19th.

Steve and I were posting back and forth in rapid succession. I cornered
him. He stopped posting and his sock puppet came into his "rescue". He did
not post for several more hours - all on the 19th.

Look at Steve's posting times on 10/19. He stopped posting for several
hours right after John posted.

You are still trying to connect the timeline of 10/19 to the days before.
You are lying when you do so.

Notice the word "after". After the morning of 10/19. Look below, you
reference the days *before* the 19th. In other words, you are lying.

This has nothing to do with the timeline of 10/19. Why do you quote it?

Do you need me to help you find the timeline of my posts, Steve's posts, and
John's posts on 10/19?

Well, I think I am the first person in this group to call Michael a troll. It
didn't take long before I was the first one to be labeled a troll by Michael.
At least as far as I can remember.

I think Michael is very single-track minded. If all of people call him a troll
(as they are), then all people are...trolls. :)

Other from the fact that it is a very honest snipping, and is done for your
benefit. If I snip out most of your posts, you come across as a rather normal
person. I rather have you be a normal person, and I do my best to make it
appear as if you at least had some rudimentary intelligence.

NOT snipping would brake this illusion.

Try to reign in your confusion Snit and show *ONE* instance where I have
mentioned any "times" prior to the 19th as you state above, do you really
find the difference between a time and a date that confusing? that would
explain for a lot.

In your case showing you to be an idiot is not an insult......it is an
inevitability!

And yet *your* timeline contradicts you....

"John" posts: 10:05
        Steve posts:  10:10 and then stops...."

Duck and Dive all you want, but your timeline has defeated you!

Of course because by your own admission that is the only break from posting
that Steve had....before the 19th, that was your mistake!

Because those dates were offered by you as when Steve took a break from
posting, to date you have offered no others, and your timeline shows no
break at all after Johns post, in fact quite the opposite it shows Steve
posting 5 minutes after John, perhaps its the 5 minute break that has you
all twisted up? LOL

Do you mean this one...

                      9:35, 9:52, 9:59, 10:00
        "John" posts: 10:05
        Steve posts:  10:10 and then stops...."

which shows ....

Snit...I have heard it said that it is a fine line between madness and
genius.....lets see which label best fits you..

Snit's Timeline...

"Steve posts:  8:56, 8:58, 9:03, 9:05, 9:06, 9:10, 9:16, 9:33,
                      9:35, 9:52, 9:59, 10:00
        "John" posts: 10:05
        Steve posts:  10:10 and then stops....
                     

Snit...


"I pointed out the timeline of the 19th,"

Wally...


"To show ...What? do elaborate."

Snit...


"Steve and I were posting back and forth in rapid succession. I cornered
him. He stopped posting and his sock puppet came into his "rescue".
He did not post for several more hours - all on the 19th."

-------------------------

Now Snit you have denied that the dates that I referenced many times prior
to the 19th are immaterial to your comments about Steve taking a break from
posting, here is your exact quote to Steve...

"Hey, Steve, funny how you stopped posting right after John offered
you such splendid support. Wonder why...."

So when did this period of non posting by Steve occur? you would have me
believe that it occurred after John's post, in fact you clarify the point by
saying...

"He stopped posting and his sock puppet came into his "rescue".
He did not post for several more hours - all on the 19th."

So, according to you you were referring to the several hours after John's
post when you said to Steve..."funny how you stopped posting right after
John.............."

Unfortunately for you that doesn't gel when Google is consulted, because
that would mean that at... 2004-10-19 10:32:11 PST, you would have to have
known that Steve wasn't going to be posting until... 2004-10-19 13:06:52
PST, how does that work Snit? how did you know at 10:32:11 PST what was
going to happen at 13:06:52 some two and a half hours later?

you like timelines..try this one...

At 2004-10-19 10:19:04 PST
John posts......

"Steve has every right to respond to Snit's lies."

At 2004-10-19 10:32:11 PST
Snit posts......

"Hey, Steve, funny how you stopped posting right after John offered you such
splendid support.

Wonder why...."

At 2004-10-19 13:06:52 PST
Steve responds

"Runs away? You need a break from your computer, Snit. I just took a few


days off with my wife and kids who had a 4 day weekend. You should try
it sometime:)"

So come on Snit Madman or Genius?...how did you know at 10:32:11 PST that
Steve was not going to post until 13:06:52 PST?

Possibly.

I believe I was originally involved in his "discussion" with at least
one of he Steves. After that I have been in and out of the fights.

But I think you were among the second wave who became frustrated with
Snit and among the first wave of people who usually disagree with me in
NORMAL (polite) discussions.

The fact that advocates and trolls alike as well as supporters of all
political views (including his!) all label Snit as a troll and become
frustrated by him should tip Michael off, shouldn't it?

I think he is currently avoiding calling me a troll in order to not
create that image. (The picture is alread there though.)

I started writing a long post about the process of how I came to killfile
Michael - from my very first post about him where I wwelcomed him to the group
and said he was a very cogent Mac advocate to the inevitable killfile.

If I recall correctly, we've had some debate with regards to alcohol, drugs and
weapons. :)

Yes, he is quite aware of this... limitations of his. He realizes that he has
hit some form of limit and the threshold after which he calls someone a troll
must be raised, which is why he desperately try to get as much milage out of
the people already in his "troll bin" with his constant attention-cravings.

That sounds like something I could be involved in, yes.

I wonder if he even notices that.

That could be an explanation for it.

On a sidenote, the robot name generator gives us the following for Snit:

<http://www.cyborgname.com/cyborger.cgi?acronym=snit&robotchoice=handyva
c>

"Synthetic Networked Infiltration Technician"

Which I think is rather fitting; "technician" could be replaced by
"troll" and "synthetic" by some other suitable word.

For me it gives "Artifical Networked Device Responsible for Exploration
and Warfare", which I think is also quite fitting, although I prefer my
sys admin variant "Advanced Non-Determinable Replication Errors Writer"
which is more suitable for my job.

Schizoid/Scatterbrained/Scurrilous
Narcissistic/Nitwitted/Noxious
Imprudent/Irrational/Irresponsible
Troll.

Hmmm... they all fit, too... but isn't that a... list? :)
