Ta-ta, Jon. Stay out of jail now, ya' hear?

I did not know that Jon Banquer was in jail. What happened?

Jon was booked for battery - domestic violence. Apparently his wife

didn't press charges, so he probably didn't spend any real time in



jail:

Here's a further rundown by one of Jon's old buddies, Tim Markoski. I



never tried to check the facts, but FWIW:

Pretty disgusting, I would say.



That's why I keep asking people why they talk to him (and so many



other known kooks) in this forum. The quicker they plonk him and stop



talking, the sooner we all get some rest.



Larry, almost every time jon posts something, you post something afterward. Now. Why is that?



NO, that's not true. Larry never engages in a Jon-Boy thread unless

and until someone else responds to Jon.

You could have fooled me, because almost every time jon says something, it sure seems like - there Larry is.

Often, that's me, but then someone else has to respond to Jon or me,
because Larry has me killfiled, too. d8-)

I've never been a fan of killfiles, anyway. So I don't really care how they work.

Are you instinctively reactionary?

Hmm...that's an interesting question, but, in the sense you mean it,
the answer is no.

Well, not you. That would have been directed to Larry. (And even then, THAT'S if he's even sober or not enough to carry on a discussion)

Why are you even in this group if it "has so many kooks" as you claim ??

He's quite right about the kooks, although sometimes, he's one of

them. g

Yes. That was SOMEWHAT near my point.

But you miss the real question, which is why JON is in this

group.

Well. Since I'm not a fan of killfiles, then I wouldn't be curious as to why anyone would spend their time in a group. It should be self explanatory. If you have an interest or hobby in something, then participate.

For me, I just install stuff - most of which is metallic. It doesn't really go any further than that for me - at least in the forseeable future..

He frequently says that Usenet participants are all "losers,"
then he posts some troll bait here and proves his point...

A lot of people troll here. I think iggy is the worst though. He says "hey, help me" and then fusses at you when you recommend something.

Jon is here for one reason, which is the same reason he used to be

active on blogs, until he was shut down, and the same reason he

started his LinkedIn group: He has a personality disorder that

requires constant validation.

If you're actually paying attention, you'll see that's the entire

thrust of the threads he starts here. He posts a URL to someone else's

work, with a click-bait subject line, and then keeps re-posting to

himself with a count of how many people looked at the thread. That's

Jon's validation -- his "proof," to himself, that he's significant.


As everyone except you, apparently, knows,

I'm roughly familiar with most of the posters here, though I frequent too many other places just to hang on to every word that goes on here. But I think I have an idea enough.

Jon's modus operendi is to

berate other people in order to pump up his own fragile, and morbid,

self-esteem. Unless someone is complimenting him for something, he

gets cranky. And if they disagree, even quite politely, he attacks,

hammer and tongs.

Ed, if you think about it. Many posters here do that. I still don't see where jon is one of the worst though. He does post helpful info. Now if you want a pat on the back, then I don't think that this is the place. No.

You're just reinforcing his pathologies.

I'm also reinforcing posters here to post helpful information. Like jon does. Take for instance the Linked In website. I had almost forgotten about that until he'd mentioned it. Now I'm about to join it.

As for all the fuss and back-stabbing on this board. I just don't pay any special attention to it.

The best thing that Jon can

do, aside from getting a more effective psychological counselor, is to

stick to the place where he has control. His LinkedIn group is a place

where he controls the discussions, because he can delete anything he

doesn't like.

That's what many people here are trying to do with constant yacking and talk of killfiles. Am I wrong? Before long, all you'll have here is Gunner, Tom and Roger.

Now Ed. Is that what you really, REALLY want ?? I didn't think so.

That's what he needs, because he's notorious all around

Usenet, and any time he starts with his obnoxious, berating posts,

he's attacked from several angles. That's not likely to change because

he's left a trail like a bull elephant on a rampage.

Look Ed. I value most of the posters here when it comes to contracting, etc. Jon knows a lot about building and construction rules in several fields, too. Why focus on anything else?

And if you want some rest? Turn your computer off.

Suggest that to Jon.

That's just the thing. Only Larry is asking for the rest.
