bad move IMHO. alt.support.* contains many vulnerable people who could
suffer actual RL harm from trolling.

I agree but they suffer just as much for hearing things like spooge says
-outside- of the recovery groups. I think they should know that there are
people out on usenet who will pay lip-service to their problems, as long
as they stay in support groups "where they belong" but will use their
problems to attack them, just for entertainment.
I don't intend to 'troll' there, at all, because I know first hand what
they're going through. There's a very easy way for spooge to avoid having
his bigotry and abusive nature exposed.
Yeah, I know this isn't funny and "flonkish" enough. I don't find it
particularly amusing, either.

IMHO that's just not entertainment.
true usenet entertainment/UPA comes from tongue-in-cheek humour, not
personal attacks. but then as you know, I'm just an old hippy....

One of the only times I've been seriously angry about something on usenet,

with RL. It's not that important, anyway. I dunno. Maybe it's true that
nobody -really- cares about anyone but themselves.

You can say that again.
Neither you nor Boyd has produced an entertaining article since you began
this dead-horse-beating contest, and you're not trolling anybody but
yourselves. What possessed you to crosspost this miserable autoflame here
is beyond me.
>I don't find it particularly amusing, either.
Shouldn't that tell you something?
By the way--and you heard it here first--don't be too surprised when the
people using support groups for support don't fall all over themselves
thanking you for using them as human shields.
Take a vacation. You really, really need one.

No doubt. That's why I've been avoiding posting to the flonk, for the
most part. When you can't find a single interesting thread, it's time for

To those that read this in the 'support' groups, my apologies. As I
normally wouldn't cross-post to you, our friend Jet would try and

Jet claims to be a troll. Any future response to this thread (should it

It rather surprises me that you, the flag bearer for exposing hypocrites,
doesn't think there's anything amiss with someone who has made a mega-
issue about not trolling in recovery groups having no problem with trying
to damage someone's recovery.
Or are you one of those people who believe that, if you reveal anything
about yourself on usenet, you're fair game for any psychotic who wanders
by. No, that can't be true. IIRC, you and your friends were very upset
about someone flaming you because a relationship broke up.
Nevermind. I'm sure you'll find some justification. Maybe a broken
relationship is the most important thing in the world, when it happens
to (generic) you, and it's okay to wah wah about it. Or maybe you're
just a shallow bitch who can't deal with other people having emotions,
unless they're wrapped up in a pretentious bundle of "creativity" and
"flonking". Trust me, girlfriend, you ain't no Dorothy Parker.
Whatever. Affinity obviously has no connection to empathy.

Mmhmm. Those are things that you seem to want to tell me. But the question

To wit: when it *actually* *starts* *to* *seem* *like* *a* *good* *idea* to

somebody flamed you in alt.flame, that should tip you off that you're
allowing UseNet flaming to hurt you in a big way.

following is more important: the desire of hundreds of support-group users
to use their fora for support, or your anger at Spooge for calling you
names? No, really; which is more important? What do you think a person
with a healthy sense of proportion would say?

think about turning the machine off for a while, and taking that vacation.
Hobbies shouldn't make you angry, and hanging around with people who don't
want you to recover is no way to go through recovery. Let it go.

No, I'm recognizing that people in recovery from anything aren't confined
in segregated newsgroups and fair game if they ever decide to leave. The
awareness of that is disturbing me. I'd rather expect better from people.

I'm not angry at spooge for calling me names. If you were acquainted with

someone would be so wrapped up in flaming an individual, that they don't

Sorry, Russell. I'm not someone who compartmentalizes their life and never
the twain shall meet. Usenet isn't a hobby, it's a way to communicate with
people who are too physically distant to meet face to face. If I chose to
believe there are real people behind the computers, it's not something
that should disturb you in the least.

You could put a stop to that right now if you truly valued your recovery
over this UseNet rumble you're involved in. I suspect that the lack of
applause for your crusade has something to do with everybody knowing that.

Everyone has their own crusade. After posting here for quite some time, I

For your information, my partner attempted suicide.
Now, as someone who has also suffered from anxiety disorders, and as someone who has
frequented those support groups in the past, I can tell you that what you are doing is
painfully unconstructive. Actually, I just posted an update to the SAD group, if you
wanted to check it out.
I don't think you're acting rationally, and usually you can approximate varying
degrees of rationality with some success. Whatever is driving you to this amount of
stress, I can tell you from first hand experience, that it's not WORTH the effort.
It's inconsequential in the face of REAL things, like recovery and emotional well
being. Whatever you were looking for with your "emotional illness" thread: support,
validation, retribution, you wont find, unless you are prepared to look at yourself
FIRST (with a critical eye). Good luck.

By bringing it over to a "support" group /is/ trolling. If someone is
busting on you about your mental problem (whether right or wrong) but
is not cross-posting it to the "support" group then except for you what
harm is being done to the "other" people? Maybe I'm seeing it from a
different angle, but the impression I have gotten from these posts is
that he is directing it at you and only you. I do see your argument
that it is a "slap" to all those that suffer but "those" people haven't
brought it up in alt.flame. I mean let's use what you said but just
change a couple of words, "What did you expect when you posted that in
alt.flame?"
Now, if we want to discuss the concept of whether anyone should be
flamed for that we could. However you seem to change using an existing
situation for an example into someone whining about what happend.

It's in your sig. You added groups and the groups you added would most
likely respond. Sort of like posting a pro smoking article to a smokers
group and adding a lung cancer group. What you did /is/ the text book
definition of a troll.
You know if there was a group alt.hypocrisy I would of cross-posted to
it. :->

What makes you think that I haven't done so? Because I don't conform
to your standards and disagree with you? Affinity, you seem to have a
very odd perception of my sanity. You constantly imply I have some sort
of psychotic breaks, as your comment about approximating rationality
proves. I assure you, nothing could be farther from the truth. I can
just as easily approximate any other behavior pattern. It's a tool for
achieving that self-awareness you keep touting.
I enjoy writing. I enjoy the freedom to express myself without being
confined to convention. I hope you realize that being unconventional or
even eccentric is not a sign of someone losing control or lacking
self-awareness and I hope that, someday, you learn that cherishing and
experiencing -all- facets of your mind is a wonderful thing to be able
to do.

No, because you are willing to take your pissy little lame fest with spooge to an
anxiety support group, just because you are sick of him using your mental illness as a
weapon. This is what makes me think you've lost the plot, on this occasion.

I think you are lacking self awareness (in this instance), and whatever the fallout,

If you think Spooge is truly unable to be tolerant of people with mental illness, WHY
THE FUCK WOULD YOU THINK THEY WOULD WANT YOU TO BRING HIM INTO THEIR SUPPORT GROUP IN
THE FIRST INSTANCE, DING-DONG?
[snipped unrelated crap]
Now this: if you -truly- believe I'm mentally ill, why would you challenge
my behavior in doing something foolish and over-reactive, rather than sane
spooges behavior? Hmm? Personal animosity? Determination to find fault?

You're absolutely wrong. I'm -totally- aware of when I over-react in anger
and, unlike some, am perfectly able to admit it when I've done so. As now.
I -don't- believe, however, that anger, disappointment, hostility,
affection, exasperation or any other emotions are net.crimes, to be
vigorously punished. That's a little too controlling and manipulative
for my taste.

If you have evidence that he *did* do it, please do present it to me. Since
you made the initial statement that he "dragged emotionally fragile people
to auk with the sole intention of breaking them down". Why should I provide

Lie: "our friend Jet would try and accuse me of doing something under
handed if I snipped out your group."
I've never accuse anyone of doing anything underhanded by snipping a
group or complained about them snekking a group. You "Didn't want to deal
with the question "Why did you snekk the groups?"", so you told a lie
about what I'd do if you snipped them.

"Nevermind. I'm sure you'll find some justification. Maybe a broken
relationship is the most important thing in the world, when it happens
to (generic) you, and it's okay to wah wash about it. Or maybe you're
just a shallow bitch who can't deal with other people having emotions,
unless they're wrapped up in a pretentious bundle of "creativity" and
"flonking". Trust me, girlfriend, you ain't no Dorothy Parker.

1. Prejudice against people with emotional illness and attempts to corral
them in appropriate groups is on topic in support groups for people with
emotional illness.
2. Why do you crosspost to other groups? My ToS doesn't restrict me from
crossposting to support groups and, while it may not be a nice thing to
do, it isn't abuse.

More like they're fair game if they choose to post flames to flame
newsgroups, as you've done.
You chose to insert yourself into a particularly bitter and destructive
flamewar, and as a consequence you were flamed. That's how it works. To
expect "better" from flamers than flaming is unreasonable, and to be
outraged about it is pointless and self-destructive.

Not if he wanted to stop being angry, he wouldn't. Because that would lead
to more name-calling, and more anger, and more retaliation, until one day,
months down the road, he would find himself surrounded by people boggling
their eyes at him and saying things like, "Did he just threaten to crosspost
a bunch of insults to three different mental health support newsgroups?"

So you're prolonging your tired-and-fed-uppitude by dwelling on a bunch of
trash-talking that you willingly subjected yourself to when you chose to be
a flamer--trash-talking that you could cause to evaporate with the flip of a
switch if you could just muster the willpower.
You're also insisting that other people, who haven't chosen to be flamers,
listen to the name-calling as well.
Does this make things better for you? Does it make things better for the
other people? For anybody?

This is why I hate talking to you, Affinity.
You're relationship was discussed in the flonk, and mentioning it isn't
using it to hit you or hurt you. I was responding to your implication that
I'm being a crybaby by pointing out that you didn't feel you were being a
crybaby, because you felt your pain was important.
How could I not know? You keep bringing it up.
Let it go, Jet.

Ulcers are cause by viruses. They're simply irritated by the hyper-

It is a lost cause, though. I give up.
Once again, you're chosing to rant and rave hysterically over something
that's already been openly acknowledged (and snipped that part, too).
I can spell it out in wood blocks, if necessary.

What do you think you were doing when you posted YOUR problems with Spooge to support
groups? You dismissed and minimized everyone else's right in those groups to feel
comfortable about posting by bringing Spooge (someone who you say is intolerant of
mental illness) into them.

Well, no. I'll leave the hysteria to those who need the combined backing of two
support groups to settle their flame wars for them.

Um, I don't know if spooge alone tried to drag me to auk, but he got

dom kooks, others sub kooks.

Asking for proof doesn't equal defending someone. I am genuinely interested
in seeing proof that spooge dragged all these "emotionally fragile people"
into auk. You referenced yourself as one, but didn't provide any other
examples. And since you failed to prove it, I have no choice but to believe
you are bullshitting.

Because -you- were pissing about the fact that I was talking about
something that was a bad experience for me. Woe is me, wah, remember?
Do you compare what you went through to other people's experiences
to decide if they're permitted to be upset, before shooting your big
mouth off?
I also mentioned the way that your friends jumped all over the person who
flamed you because you talked about your bad experience, and wondered why
you'd do the same or support spooge doing the same.

Wah, fucking wah. You wanted to be ms.alt.flame, I was amazed that you were stupid
enough to x-post the tired remains of that excruciatingly boring spoog-a-thon to three
support groups. Personally, I don't happen to give a toss whether flaming is a bad
experience for you, or not. I suspect it's not all that enjoyable, given your glaring
ineptness at it.

If your ToS doesn't restrict you from doing it, and it's therefore allowed,

Jet, you're lying, yet again. I've never "dragged" *anyone* into AUK. And
the only emotionally fragile person I've ever paid more than
passing attention to has been you.
You'll be not posting any proof of your bull shit, of course. There is
none, you loon.
Any sickness you see in your monitor is your own reflection, Jet. Get help.
I think that's a bad idea. The recovery froups have enough to deal with
without bringing some flamefest that has nothing to do with them on
their heads.
Look Jet, let's talk reason a sec, k? They aren't flaming people with
emotional issues in general, they're flaming YOU. Just because their
flaming you with your condition, they aren't flaming everybody with your
condition. As far as flaming you with your issues goes, hey, it's a
flamefest, and you've openly admitted it. You should know that someone's
gonna use the info you put out about yourself. You're smart enough to
realize that.
You're pissed at *them* so you're gonna put their caddish behavior on
display. The only problem is nobody's paying attention. I guess it'd be
different if you brought some of your buds from the recovery froup here
to stick up for you, but that's not what I'm seeing. I'm seeing you
taking a flamewar where it doesn't belong. Keep it here Jet, I'm asking
you as a reasonable person.

Dude, she's full of shit. She'll not be able to support her words, you

She wants to be a "flamer", she learns to deal with it. She shows up in
groups that she has no interest in, looking for flaming, she gets it.

Probably the same person who thinks flame wars should be cross posted to

Just a minute, Refresh. You came looking for me. Remember? What the fuck

No, it wouldn't make a difference. To me, it's no different that when

Typical of you, Jet. You made the false claim, now you prove it. I was
never one that "dragged" any kooks into AUK... unless you followed me
there, that is. Did you?
So, either you can prove what you've said, or this is another February 2001
thing. Which is it?

Oh, Rebecca... you know that wasn't the case at all. I asked you why you
snipped AUK from a post. You were hiding what you said about a reg from
AUK by posting just to alt.flame. And you know it. Then you made up some
creative crap, put it in quotation marks, and tried to use that as some
kind of 'flame'.

You know, you're even crazier than I have given you credit for, Jet.
Trolling support groups to hide your humiliation is just pathetic.
I flame *you* about your mental deficiencies, Loon-Cakes. None of those
support groups have anything to do with you being shown up, yet again, for
posting bullshit. None of them are responsible for your inability to deal
with words on a screen. It's all your problem, Jet, nobody else's. You
wanted to be some flamer grrl, remember? Poor Jet. Poor, poor Jet.

Those insults are aimed at a deserving target, ie: *you*. Your willingness
to spread your personal humiliation/misery into unrelated groups is just
further proof of what I've been saying all along, Jet. You Are A Nut.
Crazy, loony, and fucked in the head = Jet/Refresh/Shadow.
I won't participate in that kind of fuckheaded stuff, Jet. You can whack

That is correct, I don't troll recovery groups, you idiot. I do indeed
flame *you*. There is a big difference, and if you had any grasp on
reality, if Usenet wasn't your entire life, you'd understand that.
You are one sad, silly, crazy loon, Jet. You are broken.
No biggie. I've done it too.

Self-destructive, yes.
Needless anger destroys people. It doesn't seem to be doing you much good.

If their feelings aren't particularly hurt by what Spooge says to you,
you're wasting your sympathy on them. You're also risking hurting their
feelings needlessly by calling their attention to comments that they might
never have otherwise noticed--believe it or not, the entire UseNet does not
anxiously await each new installment of Boyd's and your "Do post proof that
I'm not a raving obsesso, m'kay, Sweetpea?" circle jerk.
If I were one of your friends (insert wisecrack here ---> <---), frankly, I
would be a tad miffed by your insistence upon constantly waving my
"feelings" around like the bloody shirt of a labor martyr. Maybe they don't
think of themselves as victims of Spooge's mean words. Have you asked them
yet, or were you going to wait until after the smoke cleared?

What an excellent reason, then, to undertake to stop what's causing the
joyless and unproductive anger. Namely, the joyless and unproductive war.

Hence my use of the adverbial phrase "when you chose to be a flamer" to
modify "subjected [to]." You subjected yourself to flaming when you chose
to be a flamer.
There's no such thing as "confiding" something in the Flonk. It's a public
UseNet newsgroup. Anything you say there (to coin a phrase) can be used
against you; and if you present yourself to the world as a flamer, it will
be. If you can't handle that, you will never be a happy flamer--as indeed
you clearly are not.

And yet you expect others to separate the "vulnerable-you" in newsgroup A
from the "flamer-you" in newsgroup B. That's will never happen, and you
will never be happy here if you expect it to happen.
The elements of your persona that you bring to those two newsgroups are
inseparably connected. They aren't the same (to coin a phrase), but they
connect.
Flamers will flame you, flamer. If this troubles you to excess, you will
have to stop flaming. Trust me; they won't stop. Why should they?

So, why not flame him for it? If you think it's a fuckheaded thing to
do, tell him it's a fuckheaded thing to do. You can be as graphic as
you like. That's what people did to Krazy Kate when the incident you
refer to happened, and it worked better than getting very upset, too.

Ah, yes; empathy. If you're so concerned about the flames, why are
crossposting them - comments you think are meant to "damage recovery",
no less - into a recovery group?

I'm not -that- angry. After months, I finally got angry about one thing
and over-reacted. As far as I can remember, it's the second time I've
been angry about something on usenet. Trust me on this. Those meds that
spooge keeps harping on make it extremely difficult for me to even get
moderately huffy, much less angry. :) That's why I rather enjoy when
it happens. I was so angry at one of my usenet/email friends, last month,
that it was -liberating-.

I love flamers. I just go bonkers at people who repeat the same thing,
over and over, for months at a time. I mean, how many fag lames can
you read from Roger, until you want him dismembered? How many times can
you see spooge write 'm'kay' or 'sunshine', before you want to stuff him
in a sack and dump him in the nearest nuclear waste facility?
Do you know how many words there are in the English language? Why do some
people have to use the same ones in every post?

Okay, that's better, though heart conditions are caused by structural
damage to the circulatory system, such as blockage, sclerosis or
cardio-vascular edema. Stress causes an increased load on an already

If you insist. May I say, though, that you're doing a bang-up impression of

Don't act obtuse. It's very Kate-like and unseemly.
Of course being a flamer is something one chooses. You made the volitional
decision to flame flamers in flame newsgroups, day after day after day. On
my planet we call that making a "choice." Contrast your behavior to that of
the thousands and thousands of UseNetizens who don't flame flamers in flame
newsgroups, day after day after day; you chose--that word again!--to go down
this path rather than that.

So? Your unwillingness to let the noise go on without you is what got you

from it, and let the people oppressed by Spooge's wisecracks--if indeed they
exist--fend for themselves.

Har har.
You should go back and reread that sentence, because it's important (but
pretend I proofread the fucking thing, please).
If you reject the compartmentalization of your meatspace, pen-and-paper, and
UseNet personae, you must be prepared to see what you say here come back and
bite you in the ass over there.

Yes, yes; lame flamers bore me, too. The problem at hand, though, is not
the flamers who bore you but the flamers who anger you to the point of doing
foolish things that you later regret. They're not to blame for your anger.
You are.
You can stop handing them ammunition, you can equip yourself to flame them
back when they hit below the belt, or you can walk away from the whole
thing. What's it going to be?

A person doesn't have to be retarded to be so desperate to fit in that
she will allow herself to be abused to have some human connections,
even malignant ones.
I don't think spooge needs to be singled out for what auk does,
though.

Why bite, though? And why single spooge out for auk's inherent
problems? Your friend Martin's done damage in his day. So have I,
for that matter, with Carlin.

If a) you think your flames aren't effective against him, b) you don't
care about the spectators, and c) you're not having fun yourself,
what's the point in continuing?

I've had people try to drag me to auk earlier, don't really care at
this point. My opinion of auk is that it's for people who like to
harrass emotionally unstable people who aren't willing to admit their
unstability even as they demonstrate it. This isn't a flame.
I also note that people tend to have a lot in common with the people
they've decided to pick on, in auk or out. People with IQs in the 120
and up range aren't the ones who mock the retarded.

Nope, wrong. The noise may never completely stop, but it will die
down quite a lot if you stop feeding it, to the point where it's not a
problem unless you feed it.
Putting yourself in the company of people who won't stop replying
because the other side won't stop taunting -- come on.

and it's more fun to -not- answer him.

I did, and I thought it was an amusing comment, but then I was
horrified to think that there isn't an alt.hypocrisy. I think there
should be, so then if one felt it was appropriate threads that contain
hypocrisy could be x-posted there.
I simply asked for proof of an accusation, nothing more. I condoned
*nothing*.

Jet, honey. You have dragged *me* into auk with the "sole intention"
of trying to break *me*, in the past. You have done the same thing to
Kate, and others numerous times. You have even stated in posts where
you have added auk to the headers, that this is what you were doing.
You call yourself a meower, a troll and a flamer, and you hang in UPA
"troll/flame" groups. You even pick fights with known "troll/flamers"
and add alt.flame and whatever "troll/flame" groups you think will aid
your cause, whatever your cause is. How can you justify suddenly
seeking refuge in your status as a recovering mentally ill person,
when you insist on trolling flamers with your mental illness?
In fact Jet, honey, let's have a look at what your cause is, shall we?
Many people seem to think that you added the support groups to this
thread at its inception in order to garner support for you in the
endless flame wars you involve yourself in. I don't think you are dumb
enough to think that would work, I think you were hoping Spooge would
flame you some more without snecking the froup line, so you could turn
about and call him a hypocrite. I can't think of any other reason for
your suddenly adding support groups to your cross-posts. After all you
are a well know supporter of "ethical trolling", and state quite
regularly that you *never* troll in support groups. You maintain, of
course, that you added those groups to warn them of the allegedly evil
Spooge, so they wouldn't be a victim of his alleged evil trolling of
support groups and/or people who desire support for mental illnesses.
Do you not realise just how transparent and lame an action this is?
The thing is Jet, honey, Spooge assiduously avoids trolling in support
groups, or at least he has for the last two years or so, since I have
been posting in the UPA "flame/troll" groups. You offered the
information on your mental illnesses in auk, ahm, af and the flonk
while you continued to goad Spooge and others into flaming you. You
have been around long enough to know full well what result this would
be much more than just likely to have. Now you want to complain about
it happening? You have lost the current "battle" over your mental
illnesses, in your endless flame wars with various people who post in
the UPA "flamer/troll" groups, and now you compound your loss by
behaving irrationally. For the sake of what's left of your sanity,
Jet, honey, please stop!
Why don't you take Russell's advice and take a break? At least from
flaming? You already, finally, decided to agree with him after 47,000
replies (hyperbole), and agreed to drop the whole thing.
I suspect no-one will think the less of you for letting it all go, on
the contrary. No-one wants the "Jet Wars" to fill the void left by the
current lull in hostilities in the "Kate Wars". Why do you find it so
hard to just graciously accept defeat? You *have* lost, after all.
It's all part of growing up and being a flamer Jet, honey (yes, yes I
*do* realise growing up *and* being a flamer is an oxymoron). Chalk
this one up to experience and stop trying to goad Spooge, or whoever
else into flaming you some more. Flogging this dead horse isn't going
to bring it back to life, just move on. Being the center of negative
attention isn't as much fun as you initially thought it would be, is
it? Can you post without needing to be flamed rather than be ignored?
You might start to enjoy posting again. You might even find that
posting *does* allow you to communicate more than simple antagonism to
others. You might find posting suddenly aids your recovery rather than
hinders it, if you stick to the flonking for a bit and leave the
flaming out until your sense of perspective returns, who knows?
You could give it a try, just to see, couldn't you? Do you realise
just how much you and Kate have in common?
JTTH, honestly.

I thought you were an oldbie when I first saw one of your posts, about
18 mths ago. How did you get into Usenet?
Amazon probably has it -- I want to say Daniel Keyes and the thing you
want to read is the novella length verision. It's about a EMR
(educatable mentally retarded) guy who is given a neurological
treatment which sends his IQ up to the hyper-genius level. He keeps a
journal throughout the processes. The guy who wrote it taught EMR
classes if I'm remembering correctly.
There's also a novel version, and a movie called _Charly_ was based on
the book/novella.

You are the one facing impending complete psychological melt down,
however.
OI, just let it go, yourself. The melodrama over this is sufficient
for a 6 inch layer over three 16x4 community garden planting beds.
