time to put the cat out and turn off the lights?

I try to be polite... really I do...

But sometimes you make it a bit difficult.

Clem's had me kill filed for a while now, so I don't think you should
count me in your ratio calculation.

shove him in the goose file
the noise gets much less

 

Oh the exquisite irony!

Ahh thanks.
I'd best not get in the way of fervent whackers.

 

Clem

its a open, unmoderated forum, you cant really tell what people can
and can not post to.. when the numbers are large and 99% of the
posters are on the same wavelength you can weed the tod sploggers out,
but this place is now too small and the noise is too large for that to
happen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You say "tell people they can not post", I say "pleaded with people".
Potayto/potarto; the people were too stupid to listen and the people ended
up finding that this new aus-moto that they'd made themselves was not to
their liking and they left.
[shrug] It was always entirely the people's choice.
My big mistake was assuming they valued the old aus.moto like I did.

You seem to be incredibly well informed on what I do and what I think
Andrew.
A few points though; as I have repeated ad-infinitum I am not even in the
slightest way irked by the postings of the of the noise-makers. They're
noise-makers; that's what's to be expected.
Also; I think I've only ever hit "ignore thread" a half-dozen times and they
were pretty-much entirely those massively idiotic aus-cars crossposted
spam-fests.

Really, my only sin is that I (used to) encourage people to not reply to
people who were just trying to promote intentional arguments (as opposed to
the natural and unavoidable arguments that occur in newsgroups...especially
when people are so pissweak that can't admit they've made a mistake and just
accuse the other of being a troll... errr.... where was I?)

I tried to save the group.
You tried to make some civil-rights issue out of it.
You won. Congratulations.
The group is dead.

 

So one more run of shirts with RIP added to them?

Remnant in Facebook?

 

I've never seen the attraction to Faecesbook myself.

Ride in Front?

 

Only being on 3 other NG over time, all apart from Aussie rules ones
seem dead.

although aussierules one only has about 10 regular posters.

 

managing anything but a web based chat is beyond the pale for many
just like morse code we is old tec

Not dead, just resting...

Like my Triumph.

 

Clem, I am no better informed about what you do and think than anyone
else would be, I just read your posts. You have announced that you
killfile certain people (GWF for example) and invited the rest of us to
do the same. You have repeatedly asked posters not to reply to people
you have killfiled. Any reasonable person would conclude that the people
you have killfiled irk you.

Your claim that you've only ever hit 'ignore thread' a half-dozen times
is impossible to believe, even if you meant " ... in the last month
....", which I don't believe you did. There have been 10 of those
cross-posted spam-fests in the last month, at least 6 of which were
started by that well-known troll 'peta_lucarse' - surely you're not
trying to make us believe you read them?

At no point have I ever attempted to make a " ... civil rights issue of
it ... ". You're confusing me with someone else.

My contribution to the "Is Aus.Moto Dead?" debate has been to provide a
neat little graph showing that contributions have been in steady decline
for 10 years, and if you discard posts that are blatant noise (such as
x-posting bullshit) then the level of contributions has now fallen to
the levels first reached in 1995.

If I could quote somebody called Knobdoodle who posted (in this thread):
" It's all the fuckheads who kept replying to the tweedlers that ramped
up the noise-level and drove off the bike contributors. "
Setting aside the fact that you need more compelling reasons to explain
the continuous 10-year decline, I presume you're calling me a 'fuckhead'
(since I reply to Gerry, for example).

Given that, I'm sure you can understand why I was suggesting (politely)
that you might like to take your contributions somewhere else. The fact
that you were in here first is irrelevant.
