name calling.
Michael Smith
like to imply that people are morons?
In several threads he has implied either myself or other people morons. Do a
search for the morons and you can see that he tends to call or imply that
people are morons.

He has been doing a convincing imitation of a moron for a while, at
any rate. He was politely pointed to alt.test last time he did it, but
chose to ignore that.

Oh, I see. Because you are a posing as moron, you assume we are morons

In that case, I wholeheartecly recommend that you take advantage of

"He has been doing a convincing imitation of a moron for a while, at any

Such a statement is definitely supporting the first person who called the
individual a moron. You are such a respected individual in this newsgroup,
you should learn to watch your mouth.

To be fair, Iain hasn't actually called you a moron.
Arguably, Alistair McGowan does a good impersonation
of Pepe from Eastenders, but he is not Pepe.

Yes, and his too is for being helpful and informative. Yours is not as
shining, and by the way, your identity can be tracked through the server you
post from just as easily as using your email addy - the info is encrypted,
but that will not stop the NTL abuse department.

He doesn't care. He has no reason to care.
Lots of people think he is a complete moron.
Luckily for Iain, however, most of the people who think he is a moron are
infact intellectually challenged themselves, which is why they resort to top
posting pathetic insults, and starting a nice big thread to whinge about an
individual.
I'm sure Iain won't loose any sleep over not having these pathetic
individuals as friends.
Those of us with an IQ higher than that of a small rodent appreciate his
knowledge and understand/tolerate his attitude towards those less 'able'
than himself.

Because he persists in making the same enquiry time after time, despite
getting sensible answers, and persists in leaving great swathes of untrimmed
garbage flowing in the wake of his comment. Completely failing to help
himself, and when others start to realise that there is no hope for him, he
ups and leaves. Suggests to me that he didn't get his quota of responses
because he was found out too soon. There seems no other reason for someone
to pretend to be so thick.

God help us! Next you'll be talking about the superlative talent
in this group that donates their free time to help others...as if
it wasn't actually populated by a few reasonably-informed laymen who

It's not a case of "I do not want to waste my time"

After just visiting this group for a browse, it is quite obvious that
some people involved in it , need to grow up and get a life. Yes
there are rules to newsgroup posting, yes it can be annoying to have
to move your eyes in a different direction ..... but do you really
need to hurl abuse at somebody and drive them away from something that
DOES NOT belong to you in the first place.
In a way you are just as bad as the person you are attacking, do you
think i want to read your mindless nitpicking when i am looking for
information on mobile phones ..(NO)

Michael Rodgers is a fine example. Calling contributors moron and in his

They should emulate other newsgroups where people are more friendly and not
think they own the newsgroup. Even if they want to think of ownership, at
least have some regard for manners.

Blimey, well said!
The oft-quoted advice is to post only those things you would be
prepared to say if the person(s) was(were) standing in front of you,
down the pub. I dare say that if that was the case every time someone
spouted off, there's be a fair few glassed faces and broken noses on
this newsgroup. As there would be on every other newsgroup in
existence, including alt.peace.love.man.
Whose round is it? :)

Whilst you might find his behaviour disagreeable, none of what you
describe constitutes trolling. Just because someone says or does
something that you don't like, doesn't mean they're trolling. It's
rather ridiculous if you don't believe that other people might
actually *have* different views/preferences/opinions, and they're not
just behaving like that to troll you...
