Hey schmuck, yea, you, you@know.who

Cool it dude! What is your point?

Trolls should be trashed. They contribute nothing. They make noise. They distract.

Now, if you want to be a polly, you're more than welcome here. Join some of the greats, like Flint, Hoff, and Decker. They have few problems here.

But, if you are a troll, that has nothing of value to say, well, I'm all for kicking your butt as far from here as possible!!!!!

The value of what I have to say is simple. Either delete everything or nothing. When three or four Sysops try to decide what is "trollish" then it's bound to be unfair. Doomer trolls reign supreme around here without even a warning.

People Do come here ro make informed decisions, but are let down. There can be no fair undertaking on this forum because it is being moderated by biased Sysops. You mention Hoff, Flint, and Decker...

But what about Andy Ray? They delete him just because they "don't like him". What about Maria, Y2K Pro, ButtNugget, and the rest. They DO contribute (well, not Maria anymore) worth facts AND opinions, same as any forum "regular". But they get censored and deleted summarily because the Sysops, especially the new Cowboy Stealth Sysop, don't "like" them.

I'm not here for my right to post, I'm doing this for EVERYONE's right to post. I don't CARE if you don't like me. It's not a popularity contest. It is a public forum and should be run as one. Until I see that happening I'll keep protesting the new rule.

The "greats" are getting to be just as bad as the trolls. They can all hit the road as far as I'm concerned. Nobody will miss them.

I've only been on this forum for a few weeks now, but I have gotten some very useful information and support. This troll activity should, on a PRIVATE forum, be dealt with with great prejudice! Isn't there a debunker's board for this? What's stopping all of us from doing the same to them?

-- ConcernedAndIrritated (I'mHidingMy@FromVengefulTrolls.com), November 20, 1999.

First of all, the Debunkers have nothing to do with this. if you atack them you'd only be hurting innocent people.

Rick Cowles has a private forum for people who want to discuss similar things.

This is a public forum, therefore the PUBLIC should be allowed to post freely. But the Sysops see to it that it doesn't happen. If they wanted to have their own PRIVATE, password only forum then fine, that is their right. But since this is for everyone, then no one should be deleted.

I would ask again that you don't attack the Debunking Y2K Forum because they have no part in this.

-- (you@know.who), November 20, 1999.



Listen man, yea, this is a public forum. What you are doing here isn't right. You are screwing it up for all of us. "Stealth" is a new problem, and I suggest that you deal with it in a proper manner. If you have a problem, one post is more than enough to deal with it. If it is important, you will get more than enough responses to support your argument. I also suggest that you talk with "Stealth" via private e-mail to attempt to resolve this problem.

Just, please, cool it with this flood crap! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you imagine this much dissension and disruption from a public discussion forum? What's it going to be like if we're standing in line for gas? The same as the Arab embargo in the 70's- I don't think so - We're using far more gas than we did then and we have millions more people.

-- Guy Daley (guydaley@bwn.net), November 20, 1999.

Anger is the opposite of good judgement!!

Doomer boy will go away with the applied patient tenacity of all here!

He is going thru his own panic after the STealth Sysops informed him that his play time is about to come to an end.

So his react is to be expected, much like your neighbors when they cannot get anything at the store.

So you should look at Doomers reactions as a Study case for all who panic.

Rick Cowles deleted whenever and wherever he felt like it BEFORE there was a password policy. You're dreaming if you think that, somehow, MIT or Greenspun have any interest or right, for that matter, to control how this board is managed with respect to deletions.

The sysops have a legal right to delete every single post on this board for any reason whatsoever, INCLUDING that they don't "like it". IMO, they are still letting way too much of this stand, including your feeble arguments.

People who come here to post and/or read can come or not as they wish.

The sysops owe them, literally and figuratively, nothing.

-- NoSuchThing (Time@Is.Up), November 20, 1999.


Ah, so it would BOTHER you if I did the same thing to the Debunker's forum? Cool! Maybe I'll have a go at them in much the same way you are doing here. And I'll mention your attacks on this board in all my multiple postings. I've got some spare time today, I can spend at least 3 or so hours at the library and do my mischief anonymously. I think it would be fun! I'm getting kinda excited!

-- ConcernedAndIrritated (I'mHidingMy@FromVengefulTrolls.com), November 20, 1999.


Doesn't BOTHER me at all... No skin of my nose. I was just telling you that you'd be making a mistake.

-- (you@know.who), November 20, 1999.

Heartily agreed. It's time for him to stop interfering with the rights of the majority.

If he were a levelheaded person, he wouldn't play these childish games. Also, if he were levelheaded, he wouldn't stand on the "railroad tracks" waiting to get runover by the next freight train.

But, he like so many others have not listened to the sound of the approaching train.

He is trying to wish the sound away. And I suppose we must be a terrible annoyance to him because we remind him of his own weakness, his inability to deal with the reality of his impending harm.

He must be terribly afraid that we have some advantage over him.

And we do.

We have no reason to be afraid.

We are prepared and the future looks bright.

"Stealth" is not a problem. He/She is a godsend to this place.

Hey YouKnowWho:

The only 'rights' you have are those PRIVILIGES given to you here. That's the same for all of us. If you don't like it, leave. But then again, you keep saying you're going to leave and you keep coming back. You and your smart aleck buddies like Y2k Pro seem to be unable to discuss issues in a civil manner. Smart aleck comments seem to be your favorite method of communicating. Most of your posts should be deleted. Personally, I hope you leave and never come back. You have nothing of substance to offer to this forum, pro or con.

-- haha (haha@haha.com), November 20, 1999.


NoSuchThing,

With legal rights come legal responsibilities.

Patient Regards,
Andy Ray



-- Andy Ray (andyman633@hotmail.com), November 20, 1999.


All I can say is that the harder you guys scream for DELETE the worse you make it for yourselves.

Do you also scream for Big Brother to come in and censor other people you don't like? The Sysops are the TB2K Government, and you're all beggin for them to come in and "keep the peace".

Take a step back and think about that sort of mentality. Maybe you'll see why the Federal Government has gotten so ridiculously out of control.

In two words... "Censorship Sucks!".

-- (you@know.who), November 20, 1999.


Hmmm...just fired off a test salvo at the Debunker site. Took all of about 60 seconds from start to finish. Now if I did there what the multiple poster did here, I could really give them a few headaches with only a few hours of time.

I was rather alarmed at the overall level of spitefulness there, by the way. There were a lot of rabid postings regarding "Doomers". I wish they'd leave their vitriol on THAT forum and just post the infrequent thoughtful argument here.

-- ConcernedAndIrritated (I'mHidingMy@FromVengefulTrolls.com), November 20, 1999.


Sheesh! Funny that I agree with you about our .gov.

You just said something that, IMHO, is cool. And I don't think it will be deleted!

Just don't say it 75 times. That ain't cool! <:)=

-- Sysman (y2kboard@yahoo.com), November 20, 1999.


Well, it seems to have calmed down here a bit, I'm actually seeing some USEFUL posts. I guess when I go to the library today, it will just be to return books and videos.

(....sigh...can't you people all just be NICE to each other?)

-- ConcernedEtc (I'mHidingMy@FromVengefulTrolls.com), November 20, 1999.


You're pretty funny Truth. You want to get rid of this forum, but you have the balls to yell censorship?

I wish I could stop laughing. What a moron.

This Forum is a hotbed of Intelligence Gathering. The .mil .gov .others want it to stay up. Y2K is real. Coming soon "across the street" to ALL OF US.

Hey folks,

Let's not get into a flame war with the debunkies. Let them fume. Let's ignore the trolls and help out the newbies all we can.

Thanks,

Sysman --

Actually, if you look at some of the stuff that 'You Know Who' has been posting, he is becoming almost obsessively abusive of Diane Squires, foul-mouthed, as well as childish (see the multiple posts of the same piece of crap yesterday).

I am personally tired of it, wish that the sysops could find some way to bar this individual from the forum, and wish that all the threads dealing with this could go away.

However, as long as this perverted individual continues making personal attacks against one of the sysops, with the sort of abusive language being used, I will continue to speak out that I believe it to be wrong, that it should be stopped, and that this individual should go over to the 'debunker' forum, where this sort of behaviour appears to be the 'norm' rather than the exception, as it is here.

-- just another (anothe@engineer.com), November 20, 1999.


Because you ARE a liar Andy Ray.

And you know it.

We're just not putting up with you anymore.

Go and play at Debonkers, perhaps you can declare another "victory" at the disruption of this board by you and your pals like you did yesterday.
