.....we could tolerate the same old questions.

How do you peel a soft boiled egg? How do you season a pan? What's
the best chef's knife? Yada....?

Now, we seem to be fixated on who's a "troll". Who cares? I don't!
I jes KF 'em and all the "enablers" who encourage and respond to 'em.

No wonder Usenet is dying. You start letting "trolls" determine the
thread content and we'll all end up like alt.guitar.amps, where one
lone opinionated troll controls the entire newsgroup. It's already
beginning to happen in alt.home.repair, where some rfc'ers already
hang, and it's starting to happen here. Get a freakin' clue, ppl.
I'm jes hitting my "cooking" stride. I don't wanna hafta bail!

Only you can prevent trolls!!

Usta be you typed and spelled like a normal person. I post and talk
about food all the time. Can't help thread drift. It's been around
longer than we have.

If it's all happening in one thread, just ignore that thread. In my
software, that's right-click and "Ignore Thread".

Perhaps, but he comes across like a two-year-old who has learned the
word "poop". If he gets a reaction every time he says it, he'll
keep saying it. We should just ignore his ingredients lists.

Strange that ingredient lists, in a cooking newsgroup no less, are
more offensive than death threats and slander. That says more about
you than about me, Mrs Blind Faith In Science.

Interesting that nb had to start a new post to complain about trolls.
Personally, I think this ng is too stubborn to die.

I don't have a problem with age-old questions. If I have an answer or a
suggestion I'll chime in.

What bugs me is the Google Groupers who answer a question (without
quoting or any context) asked 6-10 years ago then disappear. They
aren't necessarily trolls. They're just clueless.

Actually I meant that the main offender has been here long enough that
the time is approaching where it will disappear again - hopefully.

When I see something like that I tend to witch my reader view to by
sender. Invariably, it the only post by that person, or else the same
person has posted a couple similar things over a short period of time.
I haven't checked my filter log for foodbanter rejects lately. Those
always showed a similar type of idiocy. They would appear out of nowhere
and follow the same format, introducing themselves as being new to our
forum and saying how they were looking forward to talking about food and
recipes. It often looked like it was part of an ESL assignment.

It's aimed at the food industry first of all. Although I do find it
unbelievable that we all buy that kind of stuff. It's written right on
the package what junk it is.

But lots of people don't do that. They just buy and eat. So a bit of
information won't hurt.

That's exactly what I do too.

And I still don't understand how an ingredient list can be worse than
death wishes and slander. It's like complaining to Ted Bundy about how
someone pushed in at the supermarket.

You also 100% bitch about a new user even quoting an old post and
responding to it. You never answer the questions. Your responses
are always just telling them that it was an old post.

I suspect someone asks a question an old post, probably would
respond but YOU critize them so they just leave with feeling
hurt,. RFC really is a hostile group.

Mean Jill. Pay attention to new users that are just learning.
Have some sympathy. You were a clueless new user once back in the
beginning.

And what would happen in the real world if you bitched to a person the
way you are now? Would that be appreciated? Friendly nod? Pat on the
back? Congratulations on your moral high ground?

Basically, you don't answer my question at all.

Actually, if they know what they're doing, they also have a "score" or
"killfile". I figure when I have all the rfc regulars in mine,
that'll be the end!

Don't be goofy, Gary. I'm not the only one who notices these are
fly-by-night posters who never come back. It's doubtful they stick
around long enough to read any responses. You think one reply from me
would scare them off?! LOL The people they're replying to haven't been
around in 10 years, either. There's no frame of reference without them
quoting what they're replying to. Maybe you have a crystal ball, I don't.

BTW, there are a number of people here who use GG to post. They know
how to quote so the context isn't some big mystery. They aren't one hit
wonders.

And if you have a beef with a thread that has gone OT and too long, it
is neither OT or dragging the thread on longer and more OT by
complaining about it.

That being said... the reason Kuthe is in my KF and likely to stay there
forever is because of his taking offense to an OT thread and responding
to every post in the thread with a running tally of the number of posts
on that OT thread. I don't doubt that he was experiencing a manic
episode and thought that he was extremely brilliant to be doing that.
