There is NO FAKE DRUCE!!

Druce, you have worked hard. Now all versions of yourself are truly
master butt sniffers.

Each fake druce is functionally the same as the original dutch butt
sniffer.

So true. A troll is a troll is a troll. No difference between the
'real' Bruce/John John or whatever it calls itself this year and his
alter ego versions of 'Bruce'.

**** off, idiot.

People also ask
What does trolling mean?
Trolling is defined as creating discord on the Internet by starting
quarrels or upsetting people by posting inflammatory or off-topic
messages in an online community. Basically, a social media troll is
someone who purposely says something controversial in order to get a
rise out of other users.

Have you somehow not noticed year after year of 'Bruce' targeting and
sniping comments with certain people on RFC? The constant judging and
critisizing others for not eating the same way he does? Are you
****ing blind? What a dumb **** you are.

As illogical as it sounds, there is a cool 70 when temperatures are cold and
a warm 70 when temperatures are hot. Well...at least for me in the house.
Outside, 70 seems as it ought to be.

Reddit. The most trafficked forums on the Internet these days.

I manage a reddit (group/forum) of 60,000+ carnivorous members and
we often get "brigaded" by the omniscient vegans and religious
freaks. And while creating multiple accounts and nyms is much harder
than on Usenet, you still can't ban those ****tards quick enough.

While there's not many tools left on Usenet to identify bad
conduits, it's even more frustrating on reddit. There's are plenty
of admins aware of the problems, but they are enigmas and don't use
their tools properly.

So I've devised a way to ban anybody in our reddit (group) who's
ever posted to a vegan/vegetarian/vegan-religious reddit (there's 24
forums you can post to that will ban you from our reddit). It's
merciless, uncaring, and unforgiving. You can appeal your ban, but
they go into /dev/null and nobody sees uour outcry. And if you
create a (few) separate account(s) just to post your vegan agenda to
this reddit, it will quickly be banned.

It's not perfect and there always be new people trying to be that
snarky gopher in the whack-a-mole game, but most seasoned redxditors
know better.

It would be trivial for RFC on Usenet to transform to that platform.
Our trolls and nymshifters would disappear. And we could ban John
every weekday between 6:AM and 4:PM while he's working and
collecting paychecks (heh!)

I used Compuserve for a year in the early 80s.
Not much to it. Just some information pages and they charged extra for
the better info pages. No email then either.

You had to be careful what you looked at and even what time of the day
you used it. If not, you got a very large monthly bill depending on your
use.

I dropped it after one year and just used local things. A couple of BBS
and two colleges nearby. The best use of that first modem was being
able to do my computer class homework at home vs going into the computer
lab each week.

Skip many years to about 1995 when I got my first PC and internet access
and the newsgroups.

I was reporting back what I was told when I asked yesterday in
"alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent". Since then there have been
posts to say "4ax.com" can be disabled, just as you say.

The details are there if you're interested.

Mr Neodome, I know what trolling means.

I was asking why you used the term "by definition" as it seems
incorrect but the more I read from you the more I see you like
exaggeration.

"It's merciless, uncaring, and unforgiving. You can appeal
your ban, but they go into /dev/null and nobody sees your

You're not much of a salesman for a new group, are you?

There's a sucker born every minute. Don't let me stop you joining
Squirt's "merciless, uncaring, and unforgiving" Reddit group run by
a narcissistic control-freak.

Something tells me that a group like that would be too easy for everyone.

I'll have a look. By the way, it was my copycat who said "it can be
disabled".

I'm not a troll. Sometimes, I press a button or provoke a bit. People
who take themselves too seriously, can't handle that and call me a
troll.

Thanks. I had a look and modified agent.ini, where there was no
mention of 4ax.com in the [message] section, by the way. See what
gives.

Of course, if this works, it'll just work for me. The hoodlums will
still get 4ax.com in their message-ID if they use Agent.

But it did work! I now get individual.net in the message-ID.

I saw it was via Eternal September and didn't realise Mr Neodome would
give his IP address to the sysop Wolfgang. ES allows many things but
cross any line of its abuse policy and you're off.

It says "Eating healthy on a cheap budget". I thought Sqwertz was more
about eating unhealthy on a cheap budget.

I agree, 70 feels very different to me in summer vs winter. I blame
part of that on poor insulation and drafts in my home during the winter,
but also consider near freezing cold tap water in the winter, unheated
cellars or crawl spaces, attics, etc.

True, difficult to target; but a decently sized window unit makes for
far more comfortable living vs. no A/C. My house has a boiler, and no
affordable way to install central A/C. I have a very solidly built
1960's 8K BTU Gibson A/C unit that covers 2 rooms in the first floor of
my home beautifully. Upstairs in summer evenings, I rely on cooler
evening temps with a fan in the window. Knob and Tube wiring makes for
no chance of me trying an A/C unit upstairs.

These days, Usenet is just a reflection of our dysfunctional/disenfranchised/disgruntled society. That's the breaks.

It's been years since I've regularly baked bread, but I always keep
yeast and 25LB's of flour on hand (depending on how much I've used) for
pizza dough, homemade desserts, etc. I might get back into it. The
only issue is time consuming.

My father has a Cisterine that sometimes runs out of water and needs to
be pumped in. No one will drink it, and we wince when cooking or
brushing teeth with it. It isn't cheap if it runs dry to pump water in.
Hopefully your well is better quality water than that.

My guess is that it's a group with 60,000 members and has the word "meat" in it.

And you have to ship in water from Brooklyn just to make pizza.

That's about inline with what I pay. I'd much prefer being billed as
you are, because I'm positive that I could squeak my usage lower. When
I can make it a game to save money, I do. I hate being wasteful, but I
honestly never know exactly how much water I use. I don't run the water
for no reason, and I always use the suds saver feature for the next load
on my old washing machine. All I know is that I use fewer than 2k
gallons monthly.

When we were kids my parent put a window AC downstairs. In summer, we;d
bring our blankets and pillows and sleep on the living room floor.

When I got married in May we had no AC but by July, had one in the
bedroom. It was hot where we lived in Philadelphia.

In CT I relied on window AC for the same reason you do. Not easy to add
in ducts and stuff.

Now is the time to see if you can run one circuit to the bedroom to
sleep well.
