wrote: And then you go on to defame her further. Mr. Minter, Just to be sure, because words can be tricky and heaven knows the two syllable ones sometimes get me confused as well, I looked up the definition of "defame" in Wiki - Here's what it said: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defame "In English and American law,, and systems based on them, libel and slander are two forms of defamation (or defamation of character), which is the tort or delict of publishing (meaning to a third party) a false statement that negatively affects someone's reputation. "Defamation" is the term generally used internationally, and is accordingly used in this article where it is not necessary to distinguish between "libel" and "slander". " My that looked complicated! So I decided to educate myself further on the distinction between "libel" abd "slander" and this is what good old Wiki had to say on that sco " "Libel", "slander", and "defamation" are commonly used as synonyms in ordinary language in Britain and Ireland. In some jurisdictions, like the United States, defamatory communication in writing is termed "libel" while one made via the spoken word is termed "slander" " .....just a few paragraphs below on that same page. Having actually educated myself (what a concept!) I felt much more confident in being able to reply to your erudite cirtique on my comments regarding Mr. Orobko. However, I decided that I needed something more in order to respond properly and that thing I needed was "critical thinking skills". While racking my brain and actually using such skills, it seemd to my (mostly) uninformed mind that the operative phrase in the above definition was as follows: "a false statement that negatively affects someone's reputation.". Note the word "false". But everything that I quoted regarding Mr. William Orobko was taken from sources that were fully annotated and, in fact, used Mr. Orobko's very own words (documented) as the source in most cases. Thus nothing that I have said about Mr. Orobko was false (assuming we are to believe the very words that Mr. Orobko has written). I assume the reason that you were unable to actually click on the link and confirm the words for yourself was some sort of all-too-common computer glitch. Such glitches, I have noted, occur rather commonly in mediums such as this one where anyone (even those with less processing power then average) can write as they wish. I can only suggest that, since I assume that you are as familiar with the definitions of "defamition" and "libel" as I now have become, that you aquaint yourself with the links to Mr. Orobko's words and actions at your earliest convenience when and if your "glitches" have been overcome. Here are several places you may start: http://www.tsroadmap.com/info/bailey-willow-arune.html http://www.tsroadmap.com/info/willow...arassment.html http://www.geocities.com/therealbillorobko/ http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conw...ml#anchor29531 |

A Littel Boasting (and a lot of lyin')
I very much regret that these two individuals, who have now pursued me for
almost five years on line, have invaded this place. Usher and Diane Melrose are atypical. Most who have GID (Gender Identity Disorder) have other associated issues but very few behave in the manner you have all now witnessed. Their purpose is, of course, to force me to leave this group as has happened in the past. Instead, might I urge all of you to simply "Block" these two individuals in your mailbox. Highlight the post and then go to "Message" on the upper toolbar. Down then to "Block Sender" That way, the posts from these two rather nasty types will simply not show up on your screen. If they continue to bother this group, I will of course leave when requested. Sorry to have had this issue come forward on this list. Such was not my intention.

Are you more interested in modern firsts, say, or those old books with rich worn leather bindings? Do you still have room in your apartments for another shopping bag of used books, purchased at the local thrift store? Do you collect books for the way they look on the shelf? For their content? For their association? For their rarity? -Allison shamelessly stolen from someone else's sig. file: "Indeed, a properly 'fixed' television has plenty of room in it for more books" - Larry Phillips, Rec.Crafts.Metalworking 2-19-00 -- .. |

Was it Bill? http://groups.google.com/group/alt.s...64c25e6bf1417f Just as it was't your intention to harass the employer of a woman who disagreed with you online was it Bill? http://groups.google.com/group/alt.s...34f247a?hl=en& http://groups.google.com/group/alt.s...cee735b?hl=en& Just as it was not your intention to threaten a different woman's in an ultra-creepy post that mentioned several stores near her place of residence as well a a creepy nearby her house flower shop reference http://groups.google.com/group/alt.s...c2f0c9a?hl=en& |

I wish my NCAA bracket picks had played out so well. --Jon Meyers That's OK, Jon. Only *four* out of twelve minute picked the Final Four correctly. You're in good company. But I'm also enjoying the troll's self-unmasking. Kris |

Don't regret. Don't respond to their taunts. Don't acknowledge they exist. They're trolls; they're feeding off this attention. Let them starve. Kris We'll make up our own minds |

Some of us might play cat'n'mouse with them for a bit, if we're bored. But most of us have been around the block a few times, and know where the killfile button is. Some very unpromising newcomers end up being valued members of the community, of course, but I haven't seen anything to indicate that either of these will, and so I won't worry that I'll miss anything if I do put that underused button to work. Just keep on with the r.c.b-topical posts, don't feed the trolls, and everything should be just fine. -Allison -- .. |

"Francis A. Miniter" wrote in message news:4429f79e$1@kcnews01... Your behaviour is unacceptable, unlike that of Willow's. As long as we're critiquing, you're grammar is atrocious, similarly to that of others who's skills of English are also not very well. You basically burst into our "house" uninvited. Look at your behaviour from our perspective. You may not like what we see. True enough. But OTOH if you listen to yourself from from their perspective they might not hear what you're saying. I suggest semaphores. By the way, I note the curious fact that you and "Dianna Melrose" have the same mail server "gmail.com" - a most unusual one and a most interesting coincidence. Good point about gmail Sherlock. Very suspicious. Evidently it's owned by some outfit called google or summat. Never heard of this google thing myself, and with a stupid name like that it's just as well. Makes you wonder about these fly by night interweb companies. I mean, google, good grief. Whatever were they thinking. |
