Again you demonstrate, that you do *not* understand, what "plonk" means
in the context of Usenet posts.

Maybe this can help you:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plonk_(Usenet)>

"Plonk is a Usenet jargon term for adding a particular poster to one's
kill file so that poster's future postings are completely ignored. It
was first used in 1989, and by 1994 was a commonly used term on Usenet."

And as I think you don't believe Wikipedia - one of the referred sources
there:

<http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/P/plonk.html>

"The sound a newbie makes as he falls to the bottom of a kill file."

So - whatever explanation you take - the meaning is always the same: if
you "plonk" someone, you indicate, that you will *IGNORE* further
postings of that person.

However - you seem to use "plonk" just to express your personal opinion
and nothing else.
