A new guest should be treated like a new guest.

There is no humor in being a dork.

That said, the morons spewing their utter filth here is what remains
if everyone behaves like a dork but those morons do define how free
one should feel in their expression, it's not all bad.

For you they are just empty messages, this nihilism is entirely yours
of course. But those who whine the most are also most receptive to it.

I've kinda had it with this global electronic surveillance slave labor
camp where entertainment is the prime directive. If all live would be
about was looking for the next cheap thrill you might as well use a
needle?

At last, some grist for my mill!

A new guest should be treated like a new guest.


Many newbies come to a newsgroup acting like they own the place instead of
being modest and humble as becomes them.

There is no humor in being a dork.


You have me confused with Mr. Tom Sherman of ARBR. He is the dorkiest dork I
know.

That said, the morons spewing their utter filth here is what remains

Please rewrite the above as it is most confusing.

For you they are just empty messages, this nihilism is entirely yours
of course. But those who whine the most are also most receptive to it.


More rewriting is required here also.

I recommend a course of study in English composition. Maybe if you could
write better, you could also think better.

Don't feed the troll. He is, as he has ably demonstrated, lacking in humour,
wit, intelligence and grace. He adds nothing to the sum of human knowledge.
Don't pander to his sad little ego by responding to him. If we all ignore
him, he'll go away (and as 95% of us have killfiled him already, even if he
doesn't go away no-one will know).

Take it a step further, Simon and don't repost his drivel for the
unsuspecting---including those of us who have already killfiled
him---to
stumble upon.


Why don't the two of you **** one another and be done with it? The last
thing these honorable cycling newsgroups need is yet another admission of
defeat by an English moron and an American idiot. In the meantime, the
caravan moves on and the dogs bark in the night.


I'm sure it they were to watched the Mike V. / Edward D. stolen sex
tape, they understand exactly what you meant.


Little Jimmy being nasty as only he knows how. How pathetic!

Those who have nothing better to do than to advise one another about who to
kill-file are beneath contempt. **** 'em!
