... and, just how are you and Dolan any differnent? Your description
describes you both quite well. Ed Doaln is a sanctimonious hermit who
has little more than ARBR from which to derive meaning in his life.
Usenet newsgroups (particularly ARBR) have assumed an exaggerated
prominence in his hierarchical order of relevance. Usenet newsgroups
(particularly ARBR) have emerged as the source from which he garners
his sense of accomplishment and self-esteem. Regardless of his opinion
of the readership, without the lifeblood of the Usenet newsgroup
audience to sustain him, Ed Dolan has nothing and is nothing. Beyond
the facade of your environmental evalengislism, you are little
differnet than Dolan. Perhaps that is why you admire one another.
Please send us all an invitation to your wedding.

Here is Jim playing at being the asshole yet once again - or is he one for
real?

The Great Ed Dolan posts mainly to ARBR to tweak all the idiots, morons and
imbeciles who infest the group like the plague. Jim is about par for the
group, although he is into nothing but his vendettas and has become that
most pitiful of all creatures, a stalker. Very sad!

Jim should never attempt wit as it is the one thing he sorely lacks. He does
best at being earnest, the importance of which never seems to escape him.
Hmm ... I think someone once wrote a play entitled "The Importance of Being
Earnest." This is required reading for Jim if you ask me.

Even in the absence of an emoticon, the ironny (incongruity) of Dolan's
statements did not escape me attention. I presume that he had his
tongue firmly implanted in his cheek. If not, then he is most
certainly delusional. What is ironic is your contention that my
membership in the human race expired. Even if the irony had gone right
over my head, and it did not, your conlcusion does not logically
follow. It is no wonder that you two are a mutual admiration society
consisting of ONLY two members. You two are just perfect for one
another. Have you set a date yet?

Jim McNaa is own of the most sensitive souls God ever created. Trust me
on this Mike, if Jim decides to take you on he will be the most longwinded
adversary you have ever met in your life. Even Curtiss can't hold a candle
to him. However, your one-liners are perfect for him. I have never been that
short with him and so he and I will go round and round for all eternity,
just like you and Curtiss do. I think it is part of Usenet to get stuck with
characters like these and I have gotten used to it. The only question is,
who has more time to waste, me or Jim?

It's a fun game!: Try to see how many pages of drivel you can force
them to write, for each of your lines. It's utterly AMAZING how many
long posts a single one-liner or good subject heading will generate! I
have even seen them continue to discuss ME, long after I have left on
a trip to some scientific conference or pleasure trip. Obviously, none
of them have a real life, outside alt.mountain-bike. Since you are a
much more talented writer than I am, you should be able to beat me at
this game many times over. I can see the Smithsonian and the Oral
History folks drooling over their laptops already....

You and I are on the same page here Mike. I have often thought that whoever
can say the least with the most meaning wins the game of Usenet. However, I
occasionally like to get a bit longwinded myself, but only for my own
amusement.
I have noted how Curtiss goes on and on with you and you have so little to
ever say to him. Very strange to say the least!

... a near perfect analogy since deafness is a trait that you both have
in comon, except Beethoven was literally deaf and you are figuratively
deaf . You turn a deaf ear to the many complaints lodged against you.
Beethoven had an audience that appreciated his genuis, whereas you
think you are a genius who goes unapprecatied ... NOT!!!

There's no need to look up the word. I know what it means, but beyond
the aspect of prejudice are two distinctly divergent meanings, that
comprise the definition ... one encompassing FEAR and the other
encompassing DISLIKE and if anything the latter might apply. As for
what it applies to, I suspect if I were to look that up, yours or
Dolan's picture would likely accompany the definition. I hope one of
you live in a same-sex riage state.

I am convinced that others just want to save me from embarrassment. That is
why they do not praise me as I deserve to be praised. They also no doubt
think it takes away from themselves to give me my due adulation. I urge
others to just come right out and tell the whole world how much you admire
the Great Ed Dolan. Shucks! I won't mind at all if you want to tell me how
Great I am. I am past all embassement at my own Greatness. Like Beethoven, I
know my true worth!

Don't know which newsreader you are using (I could find out with mine,
properly set up, but don't care to). However, with Thunderbird, my
default reader, you can not only block the troll, but the entire ensuing
thread. I filter both for "From" and "Subject".

Why not just filter the entire newsgroup. That way you will never be
disturbed by anything. Better yet, try to only talk to yourself. That is
what I did for most of my life and it really works - not a single idiot ever
to bother me.

Alas, my many fans will not permit me to retire. They insist on hearing from
me on a daily basis. Do not envy those like me who are Great. It is more
often than not a burden. Oh, to be a humble nobody like you cc. Yea, it is a
fate greatly to be desired. Then I could truly rest from my labors.

The main character you want to filter is this Ken guy so you do not ever
have to see his freaking ads for his bicycle clothing again. After all,
jerseys for $49. and shorts for $39. are no bargain. I can get such apparel
for less than half that from Bike Nashbar and Performance.

Those of us who are falsely accused of being trolls say the most interesting
things which others MUST respond to in spite of themselves. If you kill
file, you miss everything that makes newsgroups worthwhile. But most
importantly, you miss the original posting of characters like myself who are
to Usenet what Beethoven was to music. Time to get your priorities right I
would say.
The kind of characters you want to kill file are those who resort to
obscenities and sexual innuendo. They are truly worthless types who only
deserve a good swift kick in their dumb asses.
