OT: "Mark as Read"
Dave Zero
"Bush" appears in the first paragraph and the I automatically mark it as
read. Wish I could set a rule to do that.
Sports, guys, sports!

You can if they appear in the subject line

For some reason, I think some newsreaders replace OT: with Re: I started
using OT- instead, but don't know if that cured the problem

Point remains the same--hence your "whatever"--no?

Okay - fuck me for bitching about OT political posts, but I'm not a

Well it IS the offseason. Not to mention it's an easy feat to do what
your subject line says. Don't like it, don't read it.
Dave Zero
I know. I didn't come across as particularly angry, did I? It was just
an observation.
And offseason or not, I'm having plenty of good basketball (or football
if you're coming from the Cowboys group) conversations in other threads.
It's not like there's suddenly nothing to talk about because it's
offseason.
I'm not knocking discussing topics other than the Lakers. Talk about
other things. But believe me, I've gotten the "Geortge Bush is the devil
and his administration are his fiendish servants, he's going to destroy
the world even while having the IQ of a lab rat and our invasion of Iraq
isa good example of this" message - believe me, I've gotten it, in all
its shapes and forms, all its dictions and styles. It's offseason for
Presidential elections too, in case you hadn't noticed.

So which sports hero is the faggot thread about?
Dave Zero
No argument.
But tell me how copy and pasting a new article about what a fuckup the
president is every single day when he's not even up for re-election is
"making the world a better place"?

Um, Dave, not to be nitpicky but yet again you have made a post that has
nothing to do with sports other than to whine about other posts not having
anything to do with sports.

Sorry Dave, didn't mean to sound rude. It just seems to me that you're
sounding like one of those people who wants to get rid of anything they
find offensive rather than simply ignoring it. Like one of the people
who tries to get television shows take off the air or a record banned,
instead of changing the channel or not buying that record. If you see
one of those threads, just don't read it.
Like it or not, I think the political stuff is here to stay especially
in the off season.
Dave Zero
You're missing the point.
If you point out to the newsgroup that 2+2=4 then you're helping educate
people.
If you continue to post every single day about how 2+2=4 then you're
just being redundant.
Besides neither I nor the majority of asbnll voted for him, and he still
got in, so you're kinda preaching to the choir.
Dave Zero
No worries.

That's what I do, and don't expect anything more, but I can lobby for an
idea, can't I? All I'm saying is that there are at least a billion other
subjects to post about either on or off topic other than "George Bush Su
cks". Yet that is the one topic that makes up about 50% of all OT posts.

I'm not against politics as a topic - I'm against repetition of the same
take about the same politician.

you whine like a girl when someone posts
off topic and now you whine like a girl when i post an on topic
response.
Let's see:
What are the odd of 2 people posting identically, sharing the same hate,
the exact same enemies, have the exact lame posting style, using the
same service, same news reader(s), few posts even have the exact phrases
in them, being the same peron?
Not to mention the denials and the lack of basketball content in posts
from both sock puppets, and even using the same PDA, and the same
unique newsreader on THAT PDA.
The funny thing is that you responded to one of your own posts when
posted under the nym "Jack Straw" offering support under the "Dewey"
sock puppet.
If you are going to continue denying that you are Jack Straw's sock
puppet, be warned, I have got more evidence on both nyms ready.
You are psychopathic jackass, but easily detectable.
Now don't claim that you suddenly lost your kill files and read this
message, that excuse is old and worn out.

I guess. Maybe we ought to start just including the word offtopic so we
can filter on that.

A well though work around.
But do you honestly think that a person who is too lazy to find the
proper newsgroup for his continuous whining like Jack Straw and his
likes would bother typing the entire word OFFTOPIC in the subject?
I doubt it.

Nobody is perfect.
The difference is, you post much less off topic crap, than prolific
political posters like Jack Straw/Dewey and the rest.

OE does, (that's the one I use even though it's reviled worldwide) Lately I

something people can filter easily.

A loser who doesn't care whether his threads get read and replied to,
whether by the topic of the conversation or by the manner of his style will
continue to be losers. I can't fix that.
My suggestion was for the honest, decent people of the group that want to
talk about something other than the Lakers or the Cowboys and have
discussions - I don't think they would be especially bothered by typing six
more letters in their posts.
They can even stick it at the end to not detract fromthe hitting power of
the thread title - "George Bush lied to us about Iraq offtopic" and filters
would still work.

I thank you for the support and salute your decency as always, but my point
is not so much that anything not about these two sports teams is "crap",
just that you can talk about a lot of different things, but people seem hung
up on discussing the same thing over and over without any sight of an end.
There's a million topics under the sun and 999,998 aren't these two teams.
