Wow.


You can also read the google archives for April thorugh June of 1999.
Many threads are mangled because posts were later deleted, but if a
responder quoted the deleted post, it still exists in the response.

Of particular interest are the posts by Bert Hoff, who also used the
name xlmeister (and later clever names such as "bert hoff," or "bert
hoff,," and other clever ways to avoid people's filters). Scott
brought in his friend Bert to help settle things down. That resulted
in some of the most amusing threads in rsa history. Bert doesn't post
here much any more. I guess in that sense he shows his mental
superiority over most of us.

Next read this:

(make sure you read the Times article at the bottom)

and then read this:

Now you know all you need to know.


Wow.


Wow is right. Now let's get back to talking about skiing.

Just curious -
Why is Bert a "former" lawyer?

Before all this, Scott was a usefull poster, something snappped.

H. R. (Bob) Hofmann


He was useful just so long as his ego was served by playing the BMOC.
The moment people met him and discovered he really was the pompous jerk
that until then had only seemed a charming affectation in his newsgroup
posts they laughed at him.

And that started all this.

Simple, really. A bunch of psychpathic pathological liars, thieves,
terrorists, and sick freaks started trying to drive me off usenet with an
escalating campaign of lies, defamations, threats, crimes, and real world
harassment.
And I kept telling the truth about what they did and what they are.
So the ******** kept fermenting until only the true wack jobs were left.

Disfunctional? Not at all. We talk about skiing
and ignore the disfunction.


I wish I could ignore the vile lies of this pathological liar, or the death
threats, or his real life harassment.
Typical of a sick freak, though. Ignore the insanity, ignore his own amoral
and deranged behavior, ignore reality, ignore the truth.
Sick ****.

Right. For one thing, there are far more disfunctional newsgroups. Point
yer reader over to alt.usenet.kooks and browse the crossposted groups -
makes rsa seem like a meeting of the Rotary Club.


Just smells like ****. Period.

For another thing, there's a fairly functional ski discussion group here
that becomes readily apparent with the application of about a dozen kill
filters. Simple problem, simple solution.


Typical of a psychopath: reduce terrorism, threats, stalking, and real life
felonies to a simple problem.

Some blame the Troubles of 1999, but even before then there was a lot
of non-skiing banter among frequent posters.


Oh, you mean the deliberate criminal conspiracy of real life felonies, death
threats, stalking, real life harassment, etc?
Troubles, my ass. Assholes being assholes is more like it, asshole.

Wow.


One problem. Crappy reporting by an incompetent reported who puked out lies
without doing any research. Not much relationship to reality whatsoever.
