He appears to be mentally retarded. Example, RonB said: ""Snit" is nothing if not monotonous. Don't worry, he'll remind you again (and again) that Linux not working like a Mac is a "bug."" Somehow the retard turns that statement into "RonB is saying Linux not working like a Mac is a bug" Bizzarro.

He is the one saying that, even as he attributes it to me. That is simply a fact. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again. <https://youtu.be/H4NW-Cqh308>

That's all that needs to be said. > > -- > SilverSlimer > FSF Contributor / EFF Member / Free speech advocate > Absolute centrist, proud Catholic Both of those guys get their thrill out of provoking emotional responses to their lies, which is the very definition of a troll. Other than HWSNBN, who doesn't know what I am doing? My view is correct. Always correct. That's what HWSNBN does when he gets caught. He immediately creates a new identity, starts a thread so he can claim it was Sandman. Hey it was my left hand... and then HWSNBN responds to his own post with his right hand. I am not going to pretend Sandman didn't give me good advice on my network and I acknowledge it. HWSNBN has my example as an example and might begin to at least pretend he has a clue because of this... though he missed that opportunity when he trolled Sandman. With all the crowing HWSNBN has done on this topic, the 'Growth Hacker' doesn't know how to do this. It seriously takes a couple seconds to select text and 'PDF convert' it. After Sandman's update I no longer want to gouge out my eyeballs from the flicker of the screen. The bulk of the advocates in this group do application development either as a hobby or as a job, so I doubt more than a few consider automation to be "voodoo". -- Eight things to never feed your cat http://www.5z8.info/-php-deactivate_phishing_filter-48-_e3m8dt_malicious-cookie Jonas Eklundh Communication

So many advocates are still talking about the LXQt "CLI" as if that even potentially is something we would want. Several of us reported him years ago. As expected, it did nothing to stop the fool. Desk Rabbit clearly has a heap of proficiency to show and he could learn to write tutorials. Sadly this is I think the most frustrating venue for doing that because the majority of response is screaming, double-crossing, and other baloney. Can you stop asking for my attention? Protected code is makes it harder to work on a project. You installed and read multiple reviews and your "intuitions" lead you to that conclusion, did they? Don't look now, but I think Larry Washington has a serious fascination with Desk Rabbit. -- This broke the Internet!! http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/BilkHelp.html https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.c/KDQrv8appR8 http://jeff-relf.me/Cola_Regs.HTM Jonas Eklundh Communication AB

COLA has become very predictable. It is not as though ANYONE could not see that those of you who troll these waters would ignore RonB's lie and cry about how I responded to his trolling in an honest way you do not like. It is merely a fact that RonB is the one who talked about Linux not acting like a Mac being a "bug" for Linux. HE is the one who created this idea, or at least the one who posted it to COLA. The fact he falsely pushed HIS idea onto me does not change that. It is STILL his idea. Forever more it will be completely fair to note RonB spoke of it being a "bug" for Linux to not act like a Mac... unless he admits his comment was an error. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity.

Jeff 'The Shill' Relf.Me is commonly seen posting "I KNOW BETTER" when it comes to info on the web where information does exist... but Jeff 'The Shill' Relf.Me is just too dense and distracted to interpret any information he sees... or he doesn't recognize it *as* info even when he does read it. Seriously, what lie? For most I would simply suspect the comment is dubious. Given that it's Jeff 'The Shill' Relf.Me I would drop that doubt and go straight to 'lie' because that's most of what Jeff 'The Shill' Relf.Me does. Innocent until proven guilty does not apply to Jeff 'The Shill' Relf.Me. -- One Smart Penny! http://www.5z8.info/gruesome-gunshot-wounds_t5z0au_cockdock.gif http://www.5z8.info/php-start_GPS_tracking-user_f8h9lv_-OPEN-WEBCAM---START-RECORD-- http://www.5z8.info/yourdick_v1o3ww_manhunter Jonas Eklundh Communication AB

That's all that needs to be said. Lying imbecile from Prescott AZ would be more to the point. Not to mention that Snit Michael Glasser squanders the little income of his wife in order to troll usenet 24/7. Most of it for adult diapers to stay near the computer. To hell with his children. Their needs are not any of his concerns
