Ben, unless you come to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, there is going to come a day when you will remember these posts of mine, and the warning I gave you, the same warning the Lord gives all of mankind thru people like me who repeat His words, and you are going to cry your eyes out in despair realizing what you passed up on for your own personal desires in this world, for "going your own way" or "doing it your own way," an embracement of self, the fruit of sin ... and it will be the last thing you ever do before you enter into the lake of fire for all eternity. I implore you, on bended knee, consider that end. You are in the water, going down for the third time, Jesus is throwing you the only life ring you'll ever receive. Don't pass it up. Grab hold of it and live. And the life you'll live, while hard in this world, will be a blessing to many, and in eternity you will shine like the stars forever. Jesus alone makes that possible because He alone can take away your sin. Consider this, Ben. I beg you. Best regards, Rick C. Hodgin

I agree, but with one proviso. In my experience, not engaging such
people *doesn't* necessarily get them to stop. At best, it reduces
the volume. Still, it's the best we can do.

We care for the future of our fellows, our peers, mankind in general. We have looked deeply into the guidance of Jesus Christ, His teaching, His love, His peace, His harmony, His forgiveness, His victory, and His Kingdom, and we see the value in who He is, and what He has done. I am a sinner. I have done sinful thing sin my life, and I need to be forgiven for that sin. There is one name given unto men whereby we must be saved, and that is the man Jesus Christ. He came here to resolve our conflict with God, to end our rebellion, to bring peace between us and God, to restore us to eternal life, to restore us to that which God intended for us before sin entered in. I reach out to each of you to point you to the door that leads to eternal life. And I educate you, telling you that you too can be forgiven just for the asking, when it is a sincere asking from your inmost man. Jesus Christ forgives sin. He brings eternal life for you within that forgiveness. He restores all things, and makes all things new. Jesus Christ is the one you need to seek in your life, even more so than food or water. I urge you to consider these words, to look upon Him, to think on His name, to consider who He is and what He has done. When you look truly into who He is, your life will be changed... forever. ----- I write this reply in response to comments like "It's the best we can do" (referring to silencing people like me). You do not know what you are attempting to silence by silencing this message. You are silencing that very thing you need more than food, water, or even air. You are silencing the free gift of eternal life given to you through our words, and through the one we point to. You are turning your back on truth, on life itself, on everything that is right, true, and good in this universe, which is to say, you are turning your back on Jesus Christ, who is all those things. I urge you, on bended knee, with everything that is within me, don't pass Him by. Consider Him. You owe yourself that much. And if you don't think you can do it on your own, ask Him for help. Show Him that you at least want to know the truth, and He will help you do the rest. He will make a way out of no way for all those who honestly desire to seek the truth. I love you. Each of you. It's why I teach you these things, because there is an enemy of God afoot in this world who does not love you, and will not teach you these things, and has no desires for you whatsoever except your eternal destruction in Hell with his sorry self. But Jesus Christ makes us overcomers in Him. We need not be taken down by that evil enemy of God, but we can be restored, made alive in eternity, entering in to that which Jesus Himself called "paradise," to which the Bible calls "the paradise of God." It's your choice. Make the right one. Go with truth, love, and life. Best regards, Rick C. Hodgin

This was more clear from context, which unfortunately got snipped - the "RH" was a reference to Richard Heathfield. I deliberately made the X's generic so as not to associate the comments with any particular person. Sorry for the confusion.

not quite a promoteur, but more like just user,
('side'promoteur maybe)
and not quite of free grammar but more like 'open form'
though i may say this group is in such dead state that i dont see it too much
instead of discussing real topics like why tdm gcc 51 is slower than tdm gcc 47 , there is discussed 'great problem' of (!!a() != !!b())
the first is real problem that may increase your practical programming skills, the second one -really not too much (unles you are very newbie)

fir, I might be a lot of things, but I'm not stupid. I attended a fairly selective university for undergrad school and an even more selective university for graduate level work. Both are ranked as in the top 50 in the nation for what I studied. And I'm pretty sure neither one of my Alma mates would take you because of your poor grammar and even weaker reading comprehension. And I'm even more sure that you never attended anything more than an unranked hick school.

For all we know, your university might be "in the top 50 in the nation" - the nation being Elbonia. Fir is Polish (AFAIK), thus English is a foreign language to him. It is not unreasonable to expect a Pole to have weaker skills in English grammar, spelling and comprehension, and to cut him a little slack here. Of course, he has no excuse for his anti-social attitudes, his insults, his outstanding ingratitude, and his arrogance. And although he might not be completely fluent in English, he /can/ write far better than he does - his writing is /intentionally/ bad, through some misguided ideas that this makes him a philosopher and therefore "above" the common crowd.

i may also add that I am also interested in a thing called (or at least i call it) 'body rock' body rock is a special way of creazy gesticulation to hip-hop pices, this seem damn important to (same as hold some minimal form in thinking) as my body form drops down this seem somewhat unrelated, but if someone wants to know what is important to me, body rock is important to me (i do it far far not enough last times) we need much more of tht sht

My point was that Chad was berating people (Fir in particular) for being bad at writing in English - it did not seem that he has considered the possibility that some people here have English as a foreign language. (There are a few others here who write in a manner that is hard to understand, which I think is due to their limited skills in English rather than being intentionally incomprehensible.)

Chad, a day or so ago you said something about adding fir to
your killfile. I encourage you to do so. Whether you do or not,
*please* stop provoking him. You are directly and indirectly
harming the signal-to-noise ratio of this newsgroup by "feeding
the troll" [insert debate about the exact definition of "troll"].
Plenty of people have tried to persuade fir to change his behavior;
you won't magically be the first to succeed.
The same applies to Rick C. Hodgin and to anyone else you might
feel the need to insult in public.
Please knock it off or join them in *my* killfile.
I also request that you insert line breaks in your posts so that
each line is about 72 columns or less. Long lines are more difficult
to read in most Usenet newsreader programs.
