Do I?
How about some statistics where *you* live, Mayor?
For population 25 years and over in Middletown
* High school or higher: 81.4%
* Bachelor's degree or higher: 10.3%
* Graduate or professional degree: 3.6%
* Unemployed: 9.0%
* Mean travel time to work: 27.7 minutes
Now, I don't claim to know the margin of error on these statistics, but
I'd say it's just as likely that you are unemployed and/or three times
*less* likely that you have a graduate degree, as Sandman's chances of
being computer illiterate. :-P

But Sandman says that Mike is the only one who sees through his crap and
realizes he is a lying troll. Well, he *also* says that I see through his
crap as do Mayor and Edwin. But he never says you do. How could he be so
wrong? Again.

C'mon, Mayor, you blew it. You tried to embarrass Sandman with
European computer literacy statistics, and you overlooked that his
country is amongst the most literate.
Your error resulted from your unfortunate habit of lumping all your
'enemies' together. As with environmentalists, Europeans shouldn't
all be tossed into the same bag.

Not only do you show no sign of understanding my comment, you present the

Perhaps you do understand what I said... which is why you dishonestly
snipped and ran from it. Here it is again:
-----
Not only do you show no sign of understanding my comment, you present the
implied straw man that says I *agree* with your and Sandman's trolling.
Then you make your typical drug references. Someday I hope you rise to the
level of being able to have a mature conversation, Steve.
-----
You are back to being able to do almost nothing but dishonestly snip and
run, Steve. You are a coward, a troll, and an admitted asshole and moron.
Worse than that, you are a bigot - though you snip and run from the
discussions about that as well. Here is (some of) what you run from on that
topic:
-----
The sad part is your attempts to try to claim other people are as bigoted as
you are because they *also* make stupid drug related comments... even when
they have not shown themselves to be bigots.
Again, Steve, you just show off your inability to understand the written
word... even when you are the one who has written it! Bottom like, Steve,
is you are a bigot: you have repeated stated you troll and flame me based on
your perception of my "bizarre behavior", but the only behavior you can
support is to point to ancient posts of mine from a health related group
where I discussed my health concerns.
Who else has shown such bigotry, Steve? What makes you think everyone who
makes a drug allegation flame is as bigoted as you? Come on, Steve... can't
you are least *try* to understand and provide an honest and mature response.

By all means, Steve, support your accusation! What do you think I am
"whining" about? What do you think I am doing? Here is a hint:
You and Sandman try to pretend that number of people in CSMA making
accusations against someone is evidence of what those people say...
not only do I show why this is incorrect, I show that if you do
foolishly believe it, that you and he are also spoken poorly about.
The fact is it is our actions that define us... not what others say
about us. And your actions, Steve, show you to be a bigot - even you
have admitted that you run from such discussions because you know you
would get ripped to shreds. Sandman and you are both trolls, though
that is of much less concern that your open bigotry.

people are so stupid as to not see your bigotry and irrational flaming?

Its just when Sandman confesses to posting nonsense in order to make
Windows look bad. He's had the situation explained to him and been
given the solution. All he replies with is 'It didn't work.' If this
were the first time he'd done this he might have some credibility.
However since this is a regular game with him, and if his Windows
machines really had all the problems he claims they do they wouldn't
even run, I'm feeling pretty good calling bullshit on him.
Mayor of R'lyeh
I'd say that you inferred it but there's nothing in my post that would

What's funny is George's new complaint about Windows. He's genuinely

shut down completely. Apparently when you shut down the trackpad

Sandman does repeatedly play the game where he belittles those that help him
and then tries to make himself look more knowledgeable or more worthy.
Heck, look at how Sandman humiliated himself when he took my advice for
bettering his web skills and then continued to spew accusations and lies
about me. He was pathetic.

A troll needs to accuse people of all sort of things, and since
substantiating accusations is time consuming, the troll is likely to
accuse people without substantiation. This is of course closely
related to obfuscation, since most of the time when the troll
actually does offer substantiation, it's based on the trolls own
obfuscation.

1. Obfuscation
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a trolls main weapon. Most trolls are not very good debaters
or have very good or compelling arguments, so it's of outmost
importance that they are well versed in obfuscation instead. This is
mainly noticeable when their "opponents" say something that has even
the slightest chance to be misinterpreted. So even if this
misinterpretation is the most far fetched on can think of, it's
naturally the only valid way it could possibly be interpreted
according to the troll. A fine example of this is in one of Steve
Carrolls posts which was a reply to CSMA_Moderator (a periodic poster
that posts quotes that point out the number of people that has said
unfavorable things about Michael Glasser. Steve Carroll posted this
reply [1] to the original post and quite clearly only quoted one
quote and stated that he was the author of that quote. It is
noteworthy that he directs his comment to Snit, which is due to the
fact that somehow Snit wants to claim that Steve is the one who is
posting as CSMA_Moderator and Steve just plays the same card back.
Snit, being a troll, responds [2] by interpreting Steves reply as an
admittance that he is not the author of the quote he quoted, he is
the author of the entire post that was posted under the name
CSMA_Moderator. You can't get much far fetched than that.

Your knee-jerk denial does not make the facts change, Sandman. Hey, tell
you what... pick the two you think are hardest to support... and I will show
clear examples in the Google record.
Pick two, Sandman... if you dare.
Prediction: Sandman will run. Even he knows the above accusations about him
are completely correct. The only real question is what games will he play
to try to obfuscate that fact.
Oh, and Sandman, being that in the very post I responded to you went out of
your way to ignore the evidence that has been previously posted and used
unsubstantiated "refutations" I would suggest you keep that in mind as you
pick your two. :)
Snit
What do you think he is denying? Do you think Mayor is wrong about you?
In this little caper about your networking at home I have shown where you
are a complete and total hypocrite: <http://snipurl.com/s6f7>. Since you
immediately go into your "denial-mode" when those facts are pointed out,
what makes you think you do not do so elsewhere?

Snit
Well, since you are not able to pick two, I will just go with the first two
- that should be a good representation. Keep in mind that you had the
option for which two I should spend the time for you on...
1) Sandman admits that he asks for help when he does not really want it.
Sandman asking questions that are clearly a plea for help:
Uh, ok... What does that mean? What is "Server"? ...
Why can't Windows be as easy as the Mac, where this would just work?
But then you back pedal and state:
This thread, "Networking with PCs", wasn't really meant as a "help me
out here, guys".
2) Sandman admits he posts *not* to further conversation but to post
trolling and flaming (to make fun of people).
Just a few of your quotes:
Oh, get real - when did I last try to get you to discuss anything?
... I just make fun of your trolling, Windows apologies, lies
and hypocrisy. I thought you had that figured out years ago.
It's in our interest to make fun with you (I really couldn't bring
myself to call it "argue")
To make fun of you, [name withheld]. What else?
That's because you're mad at me because I constantly make fun of you
since you're a kooky fanboy.
> Why did you even bother to reply?
To make fun of you. That's all I ever do, pretty much.
I make fun of lying teenagers like you? I don't think I'll
ever grow too old for that
Etc. That was just a couple minutes of Googling. I am sure anyone with
moderate skills could double that list if they really wanted to.
Remember, Sandman, I gave you the option to pick which two I spend time
supporting. Tell you what: you do not go into your dishonest knee-jerk
denial mode and actually admit the Google evidence is correct (and, of
course, supports what I said) then I will let you pick the next two. :)
Alan Baker
No.
He's reported back that it didn't work.

If you really believed that, Sandman, you would not have felt the need to
snip and run. Funny how your actions speak so much louder than your words.
Here is the post you ran from: <http://snipurl.com/TwoIsNotZero>
As I stated in that post:
-----
Remember, Sandman, I gave you the option to pick which two I spend time
supporting. Tell you what: you do not go into your dishonest knee-jerk
denial mode and actually admit the Google evidence is correct (and, of
course, supports what I said) then I will let you pick the next two. :)

And, of course, you were 100% predictable - you snipped, ran, and went into
your dishonest knee-jerk denial mode. Do you have any other mode at all?
In the end, Sandman, the facts remain the same:
-----
* Sandman admits that he asks for help when he does not really want it.

already answered your babbling so he's not snipping and running from anything
other that a repeat of your repeated verbal diarrhea.

Knee-jerk denials are not *reasoned* answers, which is what I am hoping he

And, being that others have reported that Windows works for them, if Sandman
was being consistent he would admit his claims had been fully "debunked".
Well, maybe Sandman thinks it takes a contrived video to debunk someone
else's experience. He really is not very clear on this point. Gee, I
wonder why. :)

Yeah, but they are "able to perform basic computer tasks such as using a

That they don't know what to do then (but watch purdy picshures) is a

Since even the UK government has admitted it hasn't a clue how many
immigrants there are in this country, perhaps you'd be good enough to
pass along your information.

Your report is 16 years old. Did you think that was irrelevant
enough, or were you just too lazy to dig up an older report? I ask
for information only.
Edwin
http://www.arthurhu.com/index/literacy.htm
Some say that "almost half of adult Americans are barely literate and
literacy rates among younger adults are falling."(Literacy in
America, 1993, cited in Who Got It Right? What Proponents and
Opponents of the Creation of the Department of Education Promised &
Predicted John E. Berthoud, Ph.D. http://schoolreport.com/AdTI
/education/files/whogot.htm Alexis de Tocqueville Institution)
Reality is that, by global standards, literacy in the US among blacks
and whites has been basically wiped out among US youth since the
70's. Worldwide, Asians have a low rate of literacy except in
developed nations.
More sophisticated measures of social literacy show big differences
in minorities, and Asians score as poorly as blacks when education is
taken into account, at least on the National Literacy Test.
Summary
Asian Week Mar 22, 1996 - "Vital Signs"
These figures are the latest available from national and multilateral
sources Though standards may differ, literacy generally means the
ability to read and write a short, simple statement about everyday
life. Literacy rates refer to population over 15 years of age.

You havent proved that's the reason.

Why are you thanking the Mayor for something you wrote yourself?

Your country didn't 'let' us in. We came in anyway. You guys were
behaving badly and we needed to babysit you for the next 60 years so
you'd finally grow up.
Mayor of R'lyeh
The population of the UK is ~60 million. We have an estimated 13
million illegals from Mexico in the Us with another 13 million
illegals from elsewhere. If you guys took in anywhere near as many as
we do half your population would be from somewhere else. I'm pretty
you'd notice something like that.

One has nothing to do with the other.

Hmmmm...
You used the phrase "1 out of 10" and now you want to talk in absolutes.
If you factor the UKs population in, they only need to have around 5
million "illegals".
Tell us, Clyde. Since you've just shown your innumeracy, tell us where
you immigrated from?
Mayor of R'lyeh
So tell us, oh sage, how pointing out that 1 out of every 10 Mexicans
is living in the US counters anything I said. This should be good.
Everybody sit back and grab some popcorn.

LOL! So you're disputing my assertion that 26 million is roughly half
of sixty million and insisting that 5 million is actually half of 60
million? Math wasn't your best subject was it? Or, judging from your
past performances, maybe it was.

LOL! The guy who is claiming that 5 million is half of 60 million is
calling me out on my math skills. That's hilarious!
