But this is typical of the accusations made by - trolls. A couple of the outright nutcases that Spight used as 'witnesses' in his prosecution, when not being told that they sounded insane by others, had accused them in turn of being insane. And over the many years, this is common behavior on any number of Usenet ngs. Yes, you could pull quotes of the trolls mindlessly and desperately calling other people trolls. But when they say it, it makes no sense.

So I would say that you, and some others on this ng, clearly have some personal issues, and have decided to behave as many others have on Usenet over the years. It wasn't right in those cases. It isn't right, now. You have dishonestly and rashlessly thrown around this word, troll, and helped construct thread after pointless thread of off-topic personal attacks, to the extent that you applaud a man who sloppily composed a one-sided attack from carefully and dishonestly selected excerpts, which introduced as topics to this ng everything from the subject of evolution to debates within the Roman Catholic Church! Your behavior is still uncalled for, as I said from the start. Look in the mirror, Frank. You seem to think people can't see what's really going on here. Received on Sun Feb 26 2006 - 15:35:05 CET
