Sigh.  I know I can't reply without vanishing up my own logical arse,
but if this group is not to turn into comp.lang.c.religion it requires
that people simply resist the temptation to reply.  I think you reply to
Rick, or to replies to Rick, more than anyone else.  Can I prevail on
you to stop?  There is lots of evidence that nothing you or anyone else
says will stop Rick's rudeness.  Not replying to *any* of it is the
*only* solution.

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

Jesus is the only life ring (not science, buddha,
allah, the flying spaghetti monster, but Jesus
only is the way out).

Jesus is surely flying zombi monster.

Er, I hope that isn't true. I generally try not to. I'll try harder.

I second this request generically, not just to RH but everyone,
for every poster who flouts the customs and general courtesies
of the group.  The only way to get such people to stop is to
stop engaging them.

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.

Yeah, sorry about that. I should just leave Rick to his rants, similarly
with the promoter of free grammar (Perverse Polish Notation, anyone?)

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.

Chad, you do realise this is an international group, don't you?  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

That is no excuse, and I think I speak with authority when I say that.

For speaking _stilted_ or non-idiomatic English, yes, being foreign may
be an excuse, although it is often over-used. For intentionally mangling
it beyond all semblance of sanity, sorry, nope.

I agree entirely - and I said as much in my post.  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.

If use your primitive definition (used by simpletons, but categories are contagious and when talking with simpletons im closer tu use something that is noramlly far below my inteligence, but this use is somewhat faked)
that troll is somewhere who is doing offensive blabla, they are not feeding the troll they ARE
the trolls, they  act as a kind of stalkers,
Im not a troll i am a free gramatic form user
and blabla disliker - you are also a troll Keith Tompson (in your own simpletonic criteria) just becouse this troll naming  becouse  you are tu stupid to rethink
some definition (thus youre insulting and l;owering this forum inteligence level as usual)

[toc] | [prev] | [next] | [standalone]

#68244

troll naming should be at all avoiding as 
this is extremally primitive, this is yet far more primitive than blabla level of chad rh and dB - thus you 'promoting' this extremally primitive 'mental plan' in my own eye are even worse
(youre also self absurd, asking colegues not to do things that you just do) 

[toc] | [prev] | [next] | [standalone]

#68246

> (youre also self absurd, asking colegues not to do things that you just do)

in the line of wrong things here
 blabla is brobably the least worse, insulting
like idiot, pig etc are like bit worse, but troll insulting is the worsest and stupidest of the three - it dont make you inteligent, poor poor man

(even so thai im a bit distasted i used the word, but this was some kind of quotation of the quotation,  i do not use this word which reserved for most stupid only), sorry for that
