It's called a "killfile."
Evan Morse
sick of reading what amounts to the stomping and pouting of a 3 year old,
one places that poster in a "killfile." Further, when one is tired of
reading the responses people apparently feel a need to post to this little
person having a tantrum, you can adjust your newsreader to ignore all posts
containing ANY reference to said 3 year old. It's fun, it's easy, it's
Usenet.

I didn't know that it's possible to eliminate all posts
containing ANY references to the good Bradnee.
But, tell the truth, I can't see myself using that anyways.
I like most of the people here, some of them quite alot. I don't
want to blind my eyes to where they're at. In my view, they're worth
looking at quite closely (and even emulating...for they all have their
separate virtues:))
On the other hand, if I *didn't* see these posters as friends,
actual or potential, I'd certainly consider your thought most seriously:)
best always,
Mike

I find it interesting that one, like yourself, who participates so
much wants his feedback limited. Why don't you just talk to yourself
and your friends if this is the way you want to be? Not share with the

There are only a few that could tamper with someone's post. Who do

I don't know of any newsreaders for Windows that support kill files, but
I believe that Forte will support them Real Soon Now, at least for the
commercial version.

Does your first amendment freedom include the "freedom to annoy?"
I support the freedom of every person to buy a newspaper with all
the bad parts snipped out beforehand at his/her direction:)
How does that differ from using killfiles on the usenet newsgroups?
Oh, by the way, thank you for yet one more pseudonym to be placed
in my killfile. The more the merrier:)

amazing,
Just when I was bragging on Brad for him no longer holding paranoid
beliefs about his posts, here he goes again. Brad, the only ones that
could possibly remove your posts without your permission are the
postmaster/newsmasters of your ISP. Check there, because they might have
become aware of your tendency to post vulgar, repetative, and pointless
posts. Their next step if you don't dissist is to remove your access. Then
off you'll be to find a new ISP and go through a repeat performance of
your "How to get kicked of an ISP, easy as pie."

nope.
I, and anybody else who knows how, can cancel your posts if I want to.

If I annoy you this is just your perception or subjective reaction.

Nobody canceled a post. Someone made a hot-button within my post.

What would be as easy as pie would be getting your sorry, ignorant,
pompous, hostile butt off. I am a contributor, you should model my
behavior. You have little substance, but exude hostility. Your
behavior (and not mine) is unacceptable. I have many friends Paul. If
anything happens to me, I have it arranged for all my major posts to be
posted again. A PROMISE. I'm sure you would love that. Be cool or eat
it.

Honestly (obviously) I didn't know that such a thing were possible.....
can you teach us all how to cancel Brad's posts????? Then he might get the
message...
Ok..NO... just kidding folks!

In other words Mike, it is all in your head. Brad's condesending attitude
is sometimes so apparent as to shock and amaze.

posting my request here:
One of the formidable powers of the psychology internet seems to be
out to totally exclude me from sci.psychology.psychotherapy. It is hard
to believe that some will not miss me. I would like to know via
priviate e-mail who shall carry certain questions I've raised and points
that I've been trying to make forward. Please let me know via personal
e-mail what support there is for various questions being asked or for
certain changes I've suggested. Let me know if you will ask and will
watch for science (and for me) once I'm gone. Grohol has succeeded in
barring me completely from 2 newsgroups (no matter what the nature of my
submission); Grohol does not even allow a post from me if I am simply
providing a requested source or citation.
If Grohol gets more control here there will be none of me.
Possibly, no one to discuss the question of other mental health service
providers and the likelihood they would be effective, and what the
nature of their selection and training might be; what "efficacy" often
really means (often just "significant effect"); the lack of clear
standards for considering "therapies" validated; the poor use of
terminology and lack of good practice in informing clients of
treatments; the lack of a meaningful science-practitioner role in most
of the field; the lack of reliability data on diagnoses being generated
before the next DSM review; the known interrater reliabilities of
present diagnoses; the real nature and magnitude of effects from therapy
for many (most) common problems; the non-specific and client factors in
therapy; the prediction of effectiveness in therapist candidates by
communication skills assessment combined with standardized inventories;
the qualities of good clinical psychology cnadidates; the truth or
likely falsehood of prevalent myths in the therapy field; the over-use
of questionable procedures and underuse of other methods; issues in
research (presumptions not well justified); and other topics.
Please let me know if anyone will be there for any of theses issues,
because I do believe, as Grohol has come right out and said, that I will
be gone -- b jesness

Do you always dismiss others' reactions to you (e.g., anger,
irritation, boredom) as "just" "subjective"?
Your moralism/scientism will ruin your life and eventually kill you.
Ed
Deb Bottjen
But, isn't it also true that my response to another's behavior is
my responsibility. They have no _real_ control over me or my thoughts
or personality. I, may have some response that seems triggered by
what might be a specific action, but it is still within me to respond
in whatever mode I choose to. Or did I mis-learn this particular
concept. My thoughts when I read Brad's statement, other than not
understanding how *my* annoyance is subjective - because I feel it is
real, is that he was stating a fact. He knows how trip the triggers
that create the annoyance so many feel. But that is just MHO.
Deb
Edna
What you say sounds about right to me Deb.
Other person's actions may trigger very strong feelings in ourselves;
we cannot help that. But we do have a choice in how to respond; and
this choice is our own responsibility. If you mis-learn this particular
concept, so did I. But I don't think we did.

Deb:
What caught my eye, more than the word "subjective" (which is on the
face of it accurate) was the word "just." To me that brought up all
my thoughts about how Brad has repeatedly dismissed everyones' reactions
to him ... as if the reactions (subjective as they are, and our
responsibility) have nothing to do with him, are not a reaction to HIM.
When nearly everyone is telling you the same thing about the way you come
across, and you refuse to take it in (via dodges like, "that's just
subjective"), that is a pretty flaming evasion of responsibility in
itself. So, that's what I was responding to, more than whether our
reactions and what we do with them are our responsibility (I agree with
that).

Never mind about optimism, I've just gone through and manually added all
of the relevant particulars, every single one. Should I include
"ksni...@aol.com" on my list?
Now I'm going to take a couple of days off in the country, dream of
electric sheep, drink Irish Whisky, Guinness, walk hills, ride my
motorcycle, and give myself a therapeutically good time... ...for an
android...
Anyone out there interested in forensic work? Perhaps we could examine
this next week? <With a killfile that is stuffed to the gills with
aliases there should be no problems for me.>
