Too bad that some people spoil this group with crossposts

[Chey]

no offense to those who stay in topic with their cross posts but I noticed
that this group has gone totally down hill with some of the people in here.
Why would anyone crosspost from a diet newsgroup into a fat acceptance
newsgroup or vice versa, in the first place?

And why accept people like Lady Veteran in here who I doubt is any lady at
all??, with her/his ignorance

Anyway had to vent..
sad that I am in here again after a few years and have to vent already about
the abuse in this newsgroup by some people.

BTW how do you block users from a ng? if i find out how, I will no longer
have to read trash from posters like LV.. who has nothing but garbage going
out of her /his mouth prolly reflecting garbage going in..
Out of the heart the mouth speaks

Chey,

I quit a newsgroup a few years ago because of the "trolls" but I found it
wasn't worth me losing the support because of a few. In this group it has
been very easy to figure out who is trying to "stir the pot" and just ignore
them for the most part.

If want to block them and you are using Outlook to read in this news group
you can go to "Message", "Create Rule for Message..." and then set your
perameters to block those messages from those people you don't want to see
messages from. It works most of the time but it does let a few slip through
now and then!!

Hope this helps, hope to see more of you on the ng.

You could also select the thread and hit Message- Ignore conversation. Then
I set my view on "hide read or ignored messages", and poof! all crossposts
and ugly messages gone :-)

I always wondered why there was an ignore button!! I don't know a whole lot
about computers unless it's something I happen across or use often!!!

x-posts removed

Cross posting seems to be a way of life for Usenet. Just ignore those
threads is the best way of handling them. Responding to their messages only
prolongs the thread. And lets not feed into them by responding with requests
to stop including us in their messages because that only seems to stir up
things.

Leave them alone and maybe they'll go away.

To ask THEM not to crosspost to lambast US for
wanting to lose the weight they wish for us to accept.
