Did you hear about the scientist who cloned himself? Problem
is, that the duplicate organism had a really crude mouth.
People knew that the scientist was always polite, so they
were shocked to hear his clone talking trash.

Finally, the scientist had enough. Took the clone by the
throat, and threw him off the top of the science building.
Of course he was arrested and charged with murder. He was
able to get out quickly by pleading to making an obscene
clone fall.


Cloning and spoofing are a tactic of the Trolls. Their goal is to
totally destroy a newsgroup simply because they can. They do it for
fun and they are at it here.

They infiltrate the newsgroup slowly. First by staring and continuing
OT threads. Political and religious based posting are their
favorites. You see it here. There are too many pompous asses that
cannot resist responding to those posts.

I warned this group about Harry a long time ago. Have you not noticed
that he as at the root of most of the OT posting. If he didn't start
it he does his best to keep it going. He and perhaps a few other
trolls destroyed a few rec. boats newsgroups. Now they are having
their way with this group.

He came here posing as Brit and occasionally introduces
national/patriot topics to stir things up.

He is not a Brit. Look at his manor of posting and his language, it's
American. A Brit will retain his Britishness to the grave, even if he
has not been on British soil for fifty years. No self respecting Brit
would ever alter his behavior to make friends with Americans, never,
not in a million years. Harold is a Brit, Harry is an American. Why
would he be here posing as a Brit if not to cause trouble?

Harry will have started using other ID's by now. He will be posting
and responding to threads under several names to keep things going.
He's like an actor playing more than one role in a play.

The Trolls will eventually establish one or two cliques in the
newsgroups comprised of their own phony ID's and a few newsgroup
losers that now feel like they are a part of a group of internet buddies.

Then the spoofing starts. Harry will post under the ID of a regular
member of the group. He will insult another member or start a
ridiculously OT thread. Then the flaming starts. Before you know it
the losers will get involved and start spoofing on their own to defend
their buddies. That's what happened in a few of the Rec.Boats
newsgroups. They are now like an out of control school playground.

It's up to this group to stop harry. It can only be done by ignoring
him. Every response to harry pushes the group closer to the edge.
Harry, his phony ID's and those that insist on responding to his OT
threads have to be shunned by the group, totally.

All of you have to exercise some restraint. There are plenty of On
Topic excuses to start threads and if you like, making internet buddies.

If you see something in a thread that rubs you the wrong way there's a
good chance it was put there to do just that. Your responding only
encourages the trolls to push even harder

The sooner you all start acting like responsible adults the sooner the
problem will go away. If not the newsgroup will go away and harry will
just find another one to play in.

What's your part in this Mormon? Are you going to be the responsible
adult or play the part of the fool?

My take is that it's a tossup if you are even real. You may well be
one of harry's creations created to help him do his thing. Prove you
are real by acting responsibly.

The same goes for the rest of you.
