And so we are to keep updating the killfile as the perpetrator easily types
in another bogus email address?
That is what occurs often, of course, and Johnny has resorted to shifting
his addresses.
The other problem is that killfiling does nothing to emotionally satisfy
those who've been victimized without provocation.
Since it is human nature to exact a certain degree of pain on the
perpetrator -- be it some humiliation, at least -- killfiling doesn't
satisfy. We are to accept the abuse, and keep updating our killfile, as we
get more abuse. Is it that we should keep having to treat such a malicious
person like this in the real world? Perhaps, we should keep changing our
residences, change phone numbers, wear dark sunglasses and prosthetic
make-up?
Basically, killfiling allows the victimizer to go on, as mentioned, with
little or no punishment for his actions. It is really ineffective and
encourages the perpertrator, who knows fully well he can make an email or ID
change easily and continue his jolly work.
Furthermore, it is notable that there is virtually no condemnation of his
malicious behavior from regulars here, other than to meekly defend him, or
treat the issue as an opportunity to be sarcastic.
At the least, anyone who can read his posts to us should be able to see this
man, JTEM, is an inveterate psychotic trouble-maker, whose sadistic
intemperate behavior on this medium mirrors the more serious criminal
behavior of predator and harasser in the real world.
And, contacting his ISP or usenet provider would produce, at best, a brief
suspension, usually 2 weeks. During that time, he could switch to another
provider, a free public one, or simply pay a few bucks for another provider.
Most providers treat such complaints like a school staff that suspends
unruly children, and would rather just keep the profits rolling in rather
than lose a customer.
All these things have been tried before, by anyone who is experienced in the
usenet medium. If they were a solution, we'd have a remarkable reduction in
such psychotic mischief, but, alas, we don't.
It is more notable that very few here want to morally react, condemning his
hurtful behavior, but rather nonchalantly tolerate this sick man who
delights in hurting others, and has apparently been doing it for a very long
time.
Had there been such a convenient solution anytime, as you recommend now, in
the past 17 years of his usenet presence, we'd not be bothered with his
antics now.
I notice as a senior citizen a curious dichotomy between this kind of
malicious behavior and how it is regarded on the internet, and how it is
treated in the real world. In the real world, this would be immediately
condemned as criminal behavior, if not legally pursued, and at the least,
behavior from a disturbed personality that needs professional treatment.
Here, though, as over most of the internet chat forums, it is largely
ignored, and is sickeningly made the subject of jokes, which further
encourages the perpetrator, as he effectively, cowardly hides himself in
false identity. It is more like his behavior has made him, at least in his
twisted mind, a celebrity of sorts.
It becomes a virtual devil's playground with bystanders like yourself
recommending useless solutions and/or tacitly accepting his behavior
without, at least, moral condemnation.
It is true that the reactions to his persistent nasty behavior are sometimes
tinged with excessiveness, but that is natural when the victim is attacked
while going about his or her usual business of discussing topics, and then
suddenly is confronted with a malicious psychotic that dogs them.
JTEM has nastily dogged several members of our group, and although we
attempted to treat him nicely for awhile after he inexplicably shifted his
Mr. Hydesque behavior to a more Dr. Jeckyll-esque mode, he began to revert
to his previous harassing behavior.
At the very least, you who know him regularly in here, could advise him to
curb his behavior or face less friendly interaction in your forum.

Did your enter key break or something, cupcake? Perhaps you should
look into it.
