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?

Sounds like you're doing fine.

Dickie, you're talking to yourself again.

G'day. I have been lurking in this group for a month or so. I really

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.
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.

You got the right Stuart. Except I am from Edmonton, not Calgary. Who do you
ski with at SS? It isn't Andy the Dutchman by any chance???

Yo, Dick Gozupyourbum? How's that sockpuppet thing working for you?
You do know that I am howling in laughter at you and your buddies, eh?
Here is a clue. Next time you make a complete fool out of yourself
and show your desperation, try to sound more intelligent and less of a
dumb**** dork.
What a bunch of idiots!!!! How embarassing and humiliating for all of
you.

Welcome aboard, lots of good folks here looking forward to your posts
and your opinions.

Thanks Dick. BTW I ski mainly at Sun Peaks and Silver Star BC

In that case, I hope to be out at Silver Star at some point this winter.
My cousin lives in Kelowna and his GF lives right on the mountain at
Silver Star.
If it coincides with my trip, let me know

Will do!
