if archi is propagandizing his pet theory and that theory includes
aspects which are clearly of an electromagnetic nature, archi -may-
want to shop it around where people who are all keen on electromagnetism
would catch wind of it, and so,
crossposting is tolerated for just that sort of reason.
archi's 'theory', -is- that quantum mechanics
can be derived from the maxwell equations.
you are trying to be chief moderator in
an unmoderated newsgroup and doing
a poor job of it.
and below you say this:
# I don't mind intelligent cross posting.
so, why you're wasting time posting some blurb
about how crossposting is bad form is not very "intelligent"
you like crossposting if it fits your opinion
of what is acceptable and 'intelligent'
but if someone else has a different opinon of acceptable and
intelligent, you start pissing and moaning and whining about
how it's abusively off topic.
now, here's how you describe archi;

you say;

now i ask you, -who- _really_ looks like the "self absorbed egotist?"
isn't it really =you= who looks like a "self absorbed egotist"
in that you think that you and you alone are able to decide what
is on topic in electromag whereas archi simply minds his own
business and quietly posts his babblings where he
thinks they are topical?
yes, -you- look like the self absorbed egotists and archi does not.

you're raving.
i vandalized nothing, and why you keep posting in to a thread
that you have flagged for abuse is asinine.
-maybe- archi thinks that spinning charged particles
generate a magnetic field of sorts.
strange things have happened, with copper coils and magnets

so, you deny that the so-called "Standard Model"
concerns itself with electromagnetic behaviors -of- particles
and if archi wants to yammer about particles and their
electromagnetic behavior in a set of usenet newsgroups,
archi can do so even if not each and every post is
explicittly and narrowly focused on the aspects
of electromagnetism that strike -your- fancy.
you are still wrong to flag archi's posts for abuse
as none of them fit the criteria for abuse as set
out -by- googlegroups.

this must be -someone- who shall remain nameless,
being a "self absorbed egotist" again.
what would you call someone who takes it upon itself
to make topicallity decisions for other people
in an unmoderated usenet newsgroup?
junior napolean?
self appointed tryant?
certainly not a napolean nor a tyrant
and maybe not even egotistical
but rude comes to mind.
a person who appoints itself as moderator
of an unmoderated newsgroup is just plain rude.
it seems more as if -you- are incapable of understanding these things.
archi really seems to believe that his posts are on topic
and you have done nothing to show otherwise.
archi isn't harassing anyone

arch isn't doing any of this.
in fact, it is -you- who are being hateful to archi.
you should flag your own self for abuse.
but you seem to be blind to this.

and -archi- thinks his posts are on topic in electromag because
he most certainly does not seem to be posting his posts for
the simple pleasure of annoying =you=
if you didn't exist, i dare say, archi would post his posts to
electromag.
-you- seem to be the obne sticking its proboscis where it has not
business.
-and- you have the unmitigated dorkishness to continue posting
in to a thread that -you- have flagged for abuse.
you must really have your head stuck in a dark place.

you're raving.
why don't you try and set yourself up as
the tin plated autocrat in sci.physics?
or do you run around from group to group deciding what is topical?
seems there was a political thread in sci.physics the other day
maybe , just maybe, some of the regular posters didn't even think
it was off topic and that is why theuy posted in to it.
but there's a screw loose somewhere and you just feel the need
to tighten it down, only you seem to be mistaking teh wrong
loose screw for the one that needs tightening and spending
too much time forcing your opinion on other people's work
and not directing your attentions on your own shortcomings.
