Just joined today. I've looked through some threads, and wow, it seems
like people really yell at each other a lot here. From things like
"racist *ssh*le" to "sh*t up, you xyz" and "how would you know, you
xyz!"

My oh my...is it safe here? Care to give me a rundown as to how things
work here?

Also, what if I have something to offer the group?

Best,
Dainis

Hello, Dainis,

It is good you are here. We need those who are willing to contribute.

This is what is going on here: War of the Trolls.

Poon, who came here claiming to having received a blow to the head,
complained of tinnitus. He later denied this. His tinnitus lessened to the
point where he no longer is troubled by it, or so he says. He has
habituated to his tinnitus, evidently, if he ever suffered from it in the
first place, but denies the efficacy of learning to live with tinnitus,
something most all, if not all of us, have experienced.

Poon, if you Google his history, is a racist who trolls several groups,
doing there exactly what he does here, argue for argument's sake. He has no
interest in the subject, the support nature of the group. He is a Usenet
Troll, here to disrupt, and his special technique is racist and classist
speech. He's notorious on Usenet.

Bluto, is, well, Bluto, another troll to the degree he has nothing to
contribute but seems to chew up scads of bandwidth in the process. An enemy
of the troll Poon, what we have is dueling trolls.

In my decade of reading Usenet and arguing politics and other things here,
I've learned there is no method of "fixing" things when they end up like it
is here. Boycotts don't work, because new posters are not aware of the
situation and interact with the trolls, perpetuating their activity.
Argument with them is exactly what they want. Poon wants nothing more than
any opportunity to speak in racist tones. That's his real agenda, to argue
and insult.

So, if we can't fix this, the group is dead.

What I do is simply not click on any post by Poon or Bluto. I don't read
them.

Yes, we love our free speech, but at times in unregulated forums,
dysfunction rules.

Usenet is a hoot.

Best wishes, and please do post, but ignore Poon and Bluto. Several of us
here are eager to discuss tinnitus in a polite and helpful manner.

As many have written on this forum, there are many causes of tinnitus, and
this is fertile ground for discussion. There are things that can be done.
There are realities that must be faced in a large percentage of cases that
seem idiopathic. There are drugs and environmental factors to discuss.
This has the possibility of an informative and helpful and supportive
dialogue, but not with Poon and Bluto.

It is safe here, just noisy with the racist spewing his filth.

Poon will now attack me, my mother, and her mother. That's what Poon does.

You must have read fyfpoons posts. Disregard them. He's all of the

Hi Dainis,

I feel sure that any contribution you make will be more than well
received. Even if it is about your success with GB.

Best regards


John

Poon simply wants you to demonstrate how you are any more saintly than
himself and Bluto. From what you wrote above, it appears to me you
have internalized both Poon and Bluto features and make them the
features of Williams'.

By the way, just when on earth did I attack anyone's mother? What
makes you think your mother is worth the attack?

If you believed in what you are saying, why be worried about whether
it is safe or not? Nothing can stop you if you believe in what you
are saying.

Same old provacateur. Every so often when things may settle down this same
post appears attempting to provoke things into a frenzy. Then we will see
attempts to explain everything from names we have never seen before and Sue
Fein, who has been provoking people into a frewnzy herand other groups for
years.

This poster is surely aware of all this and understands the response that
will they he/she is attempting to invoke.

Troll away, dutch courage...you were exposed many time in the other groups
previously. The Aussie personality was a more convincing one.

Thank you for your posts. I ran a cure tinnitus board for a while and
had to take it down due to excessive spamming. It was a wonderful
group, and it made me sad to need to pull it down. Flaming and "verbal
abuse" were not a part of my forum, however.

How are rules enforced here?

Best,
Dainis

Hi Dainis,

This is not a moderated Newsgroup. Don't let that put you off, I am
sure your input will be appreciated by most, if not by all.

Best regards

As you'll see, the wilmud's and their sort freely pollute and troll as
it pleases them to, -and quite gratuitously, since they've evidently
nothing worthwhile in their 'lives' and likely never did.

However, if you manage to ignore them, you can still have cordial,
productive conversations here - though you shouldn't be too surprised
at 'jrw's' vituperative, strained efforts to get your attention.

Regards,
LT

Hi Leonard,

Thanks for turning up here once again. Amazingly, you fail to see the
irony of your comments. You do not suffer from tinnitus, yet you seem
to think it is OK to follow me form one news group to another all
because I described you as a social misfit. Do you not see that this
is the behaviour of a troll? Do you not understand that you are
proving my point. Only a social misfit would follow someone from
group to group because they have this need to exact vengeance, its a
form of narcissism. You insult people all day long, a little
retaliation, and oh no, no one talks to me like that, and you end up
making a bigger fool of yourself. Do you really want me to repost
what you write here on RMO? If you feel you have to by all means post
but I will happily post it back, maybe I should, since I do not think
their opinion of you could get much lower. Do you not see that I am
prepared to let you off lightly. Stalking can get you banned from
Google Groups, I have been pretty good about this so far Leonard.

Lets be honest here Leonard. You are the object of much rank and
hatred on RMO. Seriously can you name another person who is so
detested as you are? Charles is more disliked than hated, and he is a
fool, whereas you are somewhat smarter, but much more malignant. Is
it not a common refrain that you and Charles have ruined RMO? I have
many friends on RMO, I have met two from New York in London. Who has
ever asked to meet you except as an object of curiosity? All the
women there despise you, its your overuse of the 'C' word that upsets
them. Some, and this is a pity only post against you, they will not
stop until you have left RMO.

Do you really want me to start reproducing your posts here? Think of
your posts today regarding Pat... Leonard you would be kicked of a
moderated board in heart beat for the stuff you have written. You
might have noticed that I refrained from commenting on your fight with
Pat, that is because I know you are not a racist, but so much of what
you have written could be construed that way. Why do you set yourself
for this. And why bother staying at RMO? You do alright at Ed's,
don't you? Hardly anyone drops in there and gives you a hard time, do
they?

Leonard I am happy to air our grievances here, but maybe you might
want to respect that this a support group, where some really do suffer
from what is more often than not an incurable ailment, which can cause
intense suffering. If you think its OK to do that in a group like
this, then you are worse than I thought. Why not follow me to the
Arsenal supporters group, where you will be cheek by jowl with a bunch
of hooligans.

Best regards


John

Olive Oyl wilmud, who does nothing all day and night but stalk its
betters - is not one to accuse them of doing so.

It's simply..... dishonest! :)))

I would have tolerated your posts more if they had not been that
wordy. Also, please
do away with cliches such as "everybody knows....this is what others
say about you...we all know..etc".
These are UNEDUCATED and unsophiscated language expressions that your
high school teachers should have stopped you from using before
granting you a high school diploma.

only learned how to spell GB.
