Only when he cross posts.

I seldom ever start an OT crosspost. Very seldom.
Feel free to spend the time checking the OT multigroup posts and who
started them and you will note its normally about 3 individuals, not
based in rec.crafts.metalworking. All three of whom are in my kill
file. At least one of them morphs regularly using made up charectors.

On the other hand, I will respond to anything that catches my fancy,
and I dont pay attention to how many groups are in the crosspost
list. I like a good flame war/lLiberal/Euro/****tard bashing as much
as anyone does.

The moment a thread goes west, feel free to mark that thread "Ignore"
and pay it no mind. No one is holding a weapon to anyones head
forcing anyone to to follow the threads. Reading them is voluntary, as
is keeping track of them, as is participating in them.
Unless you are running a 300 baud modem, the time needed to download
even the headers is moot. The time needed to make a two button click
to "Ignore thread" is moot.

Ive killfiled a large number of people. Not because they actually post
stuff on topic, but because they NEVER do and are ****tards in the
first degree. Not because they enjoy a good standup knockdown everyso
often. Hell..there are regulars here whom are my political opposites
in every way, and not shy about it and frankly, ****tards on most
subjects, but I read every one of their posts, simply because they
occasionally do post on topic stuff. Even if its wrongheaded at
times.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
