Politics is politics, and no matter how it goes, everyone is not going to be
happy. I get enough of this shit in the real world, and I come here for a

Learn to pass threads by and/or set up a score/kill file for your
newsreader. This is usenet. You can't control it.

People that killfile have their heads in the sand. That's how Obama got
elected.

Aw baloney. Killfiles are a way to avoid a lot of annoying crap. I just
wish that people wouldn't bother responding to the people who I filter
so that I don't end up seeing their nonsense second hand. Obama can
thank the idiocy of his predecessor and the insanity of his opponent's
VP wannabe.

Ahem, Dave - how the heck are the other posters here supposed to guess
which posters you have filtered?

And, no... I have no intention of creating a section on the RFC site
entitled, "Who has killfiled whom?"

of their killfile contents or we we were expect to know by osmosis

Well, that is a bit of a problem isn't it, since I have posted that is
is inappropriate to brag about who you killfile. I have filters for spam
and I have to admit that I accidentally filtered Joseph Littleshoes, but
that was because of all the spam about shoes. That has been rectified.
There is the "Idiots" filter, which has the names of four people who are
particularly obnoxious, along with one person who became increasingly
annoying by keeping track of the number of posts on a particular thread
trying to get it to hit 1,000. Then there is another filter dedicated to
one particular name, which eliminates him, his name shifts and his
stalkers.

Wise move. Some people claim to actually enjoy some of the people who I
have filtered. That is enough to diminish my opinion of those people,
just as seeing who they have filtered might diminish it even more.

Would we follow their directive if we *did* know?

And how do you propose ppl can know in advance who you (and every other
similar person) doesn't want to see via a reply?
You're the type who simply isn't suited to Usenet. It's not designed to
be moderated, and hopefully it never will be.
(yes, I am aware that there are *some* moderated Usenet groups - but
they don't count

Obama thanks the same people every other post-Kennedy president thanks.

Generally folks who object to kill files are trolls who expect to be in
a lot of them. I just checked my list and I didn't see you in it. I'll
make the simple conclusion here and correct that.

The single most effective filter lines I have are the ones that count
the number of crossposts and kill articles that are posted to too many
groups. I also have a long list of abusive posters who don't crosspost.

It is indeed a peculiar ambition and is clearly demonstrated in those
who are constantly name shifting. What could be a better indication of
admitting that you are an asshole?
