I read no more than the first couple of lines of this one post,

So, bye.


Thanks Reid.
It is uncommonly gracious of you to admit defeat so easily.

I will try to be equally gracious in victory.

So the above snippets were gleaned from posts in thias thread. None
of them friendly, none helpful.
The irony of it is, the original post (like last SATURDAY, y'all)
contained this:

"You see this over and over. People argue and argue their points well
beyond reason and common sense, or they stop arguing their points and
start attacking personally those they're debating,"

Reid, you said the above, in msg 511496. You've helped make this
true in this thread.
Give it up. Just drop it.

Why drop it now? Until that point, it was a thread of limited interest
and had 3 people who posted (me being one because I have read up on
google's behavior a lot and have a website) to it and had less than a
dozen replies. After that point, it has been engaged by about 20 posters
and has had 50 or more replies. A roaring success in a Pavlovian kind of
way. :-)

When I was in the First Grade, one of my classmates, Bobbie Evans,
showed me a behavior I had never seen before. It was a tactic of
starting some kind of mischief and then getting it to snowball, then
running to grab a teacher, janitor, any adult and run screaming,
pointing "Look! Look! at what those kids are doing! I bet Rachel
Michaels started it!!"

I was floored and amazed that anyone could act like that. What a
hypocrite! What a liar! He did that for months until some kid from
Third Grade beat the crap out of him. I think they sent Bobbie to
reform school when he was like 10 years old. A sociopath.

I'm convinced that today he has a steady job.

'in the prison laundry'

More years ago than I should admit, when I was about 8 or 9, me and me
classmates used to line up at the urinal and compete furiously with each
other to gain maximum height on the urinal splashback.

Nowadays, anxious to maintain some sort of decorum, I would refer to that as
a "urinating" contest - but I'm sure we had a far less gracious term for it
then.

Seems kinda funny that another gormless child should be engaging me in
another such contest some four decades later.

'I won, though!'

Bravo!

One down, one to go.

Herein lies the true evil of what you do. I know. You think you're
just cranky, your very email address says this. But your real
intention is to drive people away or to shut them up. This happens.
Some people, a lot of people, get driven away from Usenet because of
the kind of junk that you and people like you post, mindless
flamejunk, petty criticisms, biting vitriol. Other people are
intimidated into silence. Ain't gonna happen with Nick, or me.
Instead, I'd suggest that instead of wasting your time and others'
with these junk posts, your starting new threads just to try to harass
others and all the rest, you limit yourself to debating the issues,
sharing knowledge, asking questions, or that you shut up yourself.

Why don't you shut up and leave this newsgroup so that the rest of us can enjoy
some peace and quite around here!!!!
Besides, who wants to debate with you. My take on this group is to share
information. If you want to get into debating, why not start up your own little
group. Then you can have a great time debating with yourself. Yes, RCCD would
be
the ticket. - rec. collecting coins-debating. I might even take a peek once in
a
while to see if you're enjoying yourself with all your sock puppets.

I have found this group much more enjoyable now that I have the Reids
in my kill file.
I have a few words kill filed, but only one sender, and life is good.

I only have two actually listed, but there are others I tend to ignore.
Filter Reid and his echo and the emotional atmosphere is largely
improved.

Don't bother proceeding if you expect a logical discourse.

Here's another example of how A.Gent, the self-described
"still.cranky" one, is just another gutter fighter, just lashing out
with meaningless words. All this ties in to the concept of
misinformation on the Internet. People like him don't care about the
truth or falsity of what they say. They just say it, just barf out the
words. There are others like him, of course. Because of its nature,
the online world has a disproportionate share of these junk talkers,
though most people online are considerably more rational.

Among the voluminous junk he has said is his latest comment that the
coin Web sites I've created are amateurish. This is much like an
earlier comment from someone here who said that the articles I write
for coin publications are written by others and that everybody who has
ever responded to one of my online posts should get bylines for these
articles. Nobody but me has written a single sentence of any of these
articles, and for information I've relied on far more than posts to
this newsgroup. It's all idiocy, idiotic flaming, with no thought
given to the veracity of what is said.

A.Gent says what I do is amateurish. The word "amateurish" has two
main meanings, done for payment and done well. I've been writing for a
living for 20 years, have written many hundreds of articles, two
books, cowritten several others, have won two national writing awards
and several small ones, write a nationally syndicated column, have
written speeches and video scripts and radio commercials and so on.
Does that mean I think I'm God's gift to writing or that I don't make
mistakes or that I can't improve or that other writers aren't better?
Of course not. But I get paid for what I do, and over the years have
necessarily picked up some expertise gathering, evaluating, and
expressing information. Though I'm sure I could have done a better job
of expressing this. And I suppose I'm focusing too much lately on the
junk of this one person, giving it play it doesn't deserve, so it's
time to killfile him, something I should have done earlier.
