Why are we getting posts on Mtn Biking on rec.bicycles.misc?
Besides the question was why is this being cross posted. Quit it whoever
started it. You are all crazy "smn" wrote in message news:IUWhg.24400$771.23188@edtnps89... Oh I guess you mean posting on top of a reply. I do not trust or expect people to go to the end of long posts so I just quote and top post instead of end post. Nothing wrong with that I hope. It is not a superiority thing at all. Cheers smn "Claire Petersky" wrote in message .net... "smn" wrote in message news:OUBhg.21088$I61.3857@clgrps13... I just block those types of posters. Now I am headache free. Do you also block top-posters? -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky http://www.bicyclemeditations.org/ See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Cpetersky |

You are all crazy The Great Ed Dolan never quits anything - ever! It is a constant delight and a joy forever for me to take nuts and screwballs like you to the woodshed for a good sound whipping. How else would a blockhead like you ever learn anything? Either post right or begone!

What good does it do to block top-posters when you know they are persisting in their idiocies regardless. No, it is far, far better to take them to the wood shed for a good sound whipping. That is what I am here for. Every newsgroup needs someone like me who is an expert in telling such scofflaws where to get off. Reagrds, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota God, I miss Vandeman You might ask what does any of this have to do with cross posting. Who mentioned topposting Not me. Why do you not hassle cross posters then? You supposedly cannot read that is why. You are all quite the conversationalists answering questions that are never asked. looney tunes??? I might ask, but I'm not, besides I have no idea what you are trying to say. |

If they do, they're forced to post a reply in front of the question, making the resulting dialogue look like a transcript from Jeopardy. Why do you not hassle cross posters then?

If they do, they're forced to post a reply in front of the question, making the resulting dialogue look like a transcript from Jeopardy. I cannot predict what in any message of mine is going to be picked up and replied to. That is one of the chief fascinations for me. I know what I would zero in on, but I cannot predict what others will zero in on. Why do you not hassle cross posters then? You supposedly cannot read that is why. Ah, the good old "you cannot read", typically used in reply to someone who has already *read* your previous posts, and *written* to address the person you're claiming can't read. Once a message gets posted to a newsgroup it takes on a life of its' own. It is like all human conversation that way. What is...Edward the Bleat! Trolls for 400, Alex.

Rampant cross-posting, imflammatory statements, gratuitous hyperbole, claims of something he can't possibly be...all the earmarks of a troll. I was never sure myself what constituted a troll, until I met a real live one on ARBR a couple of years ago. Trust me on this BB, I am not a troll. I am merely contentious, and I like to say outrageous things in order to get some kind of reaction. And most important of all, I will never leave a respondent hanging. I will do a reply even if it kills me. In other words, I stand behind everything I write. These are most definitely NOT the earmarks of a troll. I hope the cross-posting will only be temporary as I am trying to save ARBR by dragging other threads to it. It seems like very many topics are of general interest and can be on more than one newsgroup without doing any damage to any other newsgroups. My gratuitous hyperbole is my most endearing quality and I would be lost without it. You would not want me to ever get sober and serious would you?

God, I miss Vandeman There should be a period at the end of your sentence. Were you born in a barn? Vandeman is long-suffering and I am not. I will go for the jugular right away as I have learned from bitter experience that the sooner you put down an idiot the better. Vandeman will string idiots along, but I do not have the patience for that. Idiots are like vermin - they need to be killed right away. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota For someone who prides himself of being an intelligent person, I would think you could at least come up with your own troll subject. But you being the idiot you are, only stole MV's line of "anti-mountain biker". |

I mean to support him as best I can as I detest mountain bikers and all they stand for. Just as I thought, you have just enough intelligence to make (un)reasonable arguments but not enough, it seems, to think of your own topic. Shame on you. I am not a mountain biker so why would I think up topics for your group. I am kept plenty busy on ARBR. And I'm sure us mountain bikers think the same of you and mv. Say, could you do us a favour and wear your name on your pack? That way we can't fail to miss you if we ever come across you on a trail snicker You bet Andy, you and your ilk gang up on Vandman 100 to 1 and you think that is fair. But is not that typical of mountain bikers - the gang mentality. The dregs of our society and of our prisons are full of your types.

But is not that typical of mountain bikers - the gang mentality. The dregs of our society and of our prisons are full of your types. Actually what seems to go on is that MV posts statements designed to get a lot of people angry and they all respond independently. It is no different than getting an outrageous statement published in the "letters to the editor" and then getting a whole series of equally outrageous responses from various individuals who don't like what you said. Calling that a "gang mentality" is rather silly - there is no collusion or even a semi-organized effort that could in any sense be called a "gang", regardless of what you think about the opinions, civility, or writing-style of various individuals. Regarding the crossposting, it is very easy to explain. Most people respond without checking headers. If you want to blame someone for the crossposting, pick the guy(s) who added each superfluous newsgroup. |
