Sorting through my blocked list looking for people in this group I haven't seen in years is more than I care to bother with. Stuart and Pigo were the only two real recently. I kept hoping they'd finally see the futility of argueing with the loon, but no such luck. Blocking the regular enablers does significantly change the appearance of the group. OK well Twobuddha is the main problem..Walt Dick Bev Horvath Richard Henry all seem pretty normal. Pigo I don't know about. Same with Stuart but I would give him the benefit of the doubt. If it is the same Stuart, anyone read his previous posts? I think he is an instructor who skis with a guy I know who comes out to Silver Star every Xmas. He teaches skiing in Calgary? Seems to me he is also a shrink. Yabbahoobs seems Ok as does downhiller. Tranny Boob seems like a sock puppet for Twobudda, but even if not, I will killfile him anyways. Snowbender seems like a loon too but harmless enough so I'll leave him in.. How's all that sound? seems like you have a handle on the group. I am waiting on the release of masters schedule to plan my ski trips in northeast this year, son is a little older and it has been over a year since they stopped chemo for the wife and that made her even more cold sensitive. Rumor has it were going to get more snow in NY this winter and I am hoping to get training done during week nights near NYC. There was rumor of an indoor ski area in the meadowlands but it has seemed to slip in to the swamp or wetlands if you must be PC. |

"Rocky Mtn.Bum" wrote G'day. I have been lurking in this group for a month or so. I really have found the ski discourse helpful looking back over previous posts. My question is how to stay unblocked? Do I have to not reply to certain posters? If so, which ones? I see two particular posters who seem to have caused a lot of disruption here, and they post nothing of value that interests me...Are any posters real-life ski friends? Just asking The #1 Bum Stay out of the flame wars with the loons, or at least minimise direct responses to them. It's not like they will ever listen to anything you say in any meaningful way. Mostly, the people I block are the "enablers" that goad the #1 loon trying to antagonise him, and of course, the loon himself. There is never anything of value in those threads. There have been a few people who frequently get into it with him that I kept around for a long time, because they actually had something interesting to say on other topics occasionally. Over time, the ratio of real contribution to enabling became too much, and they went also. Of course, everyone's standards are different, so you take your chances. The major consideration is probably to stay on-topic, and avoid the flame wars. I do wonder how many have blocked me because I have responded to threads involving the loons, asking people to stop enabling them by responding the way they do, mostly to no avail. Probably 90% of the messages posted to this group involve these flame wars at times, judging by the number of new posts that actually make it through my filters. Yes, who have you blocked and maybe I will do the same. It should alter the appearance of my Forte Agent newsreader... Thanks Easiest thing to do is just watch a bit. It will become quickly apparent.

Snowbender seems like a loon too but harmless enough so I'll leave him in.. How's all that sound? You hit the high points just fine. Horvie has been accused of a number of things but I suspect even he might have a problem with "normal". Stuart seems to have multiple personalities, or perhaps he sometime posts sober and sometimes not. Think he skis Marmot in Jasper and lives in Edmonton, if I recall correctly. I killfiled him bout 2 weeks ago after he claimed he wouldn't reply to Scott, then carried on doing so. I'll wait and see if he turns up in any replies not involving Scott, and perhaps change my mind. Snowbender seems to be Itchie's new signature but the old kilfile is still working. Some here have actually met him and according to all reports he is quite normal and a fairly decent skier in person. Seems like he just gets a kick out of pretending to be a loon and yanking peoples chains, but in here the effect is the same so he stays in my "prefer not to waste my time" file. The other point of etiquette is if you ever find yourself replying to a post which contains anything from Scott ot itchie, its nice to snip as much as possible of their ramblings. Of course normal usenet guidelines - don't top post, snip earlier less relevant stuff, etc. |
