Get some new material, old foolish troll.

Think about

Troll, troll, troll your boat...

I think we can see who the troll is. Anyone who o feels the need to
post four times complaining about someone being a troll *is* a
troll.

"Gosh, I KNOW, right? And anyone who calls out a racist for being a
racist *is* racist, y'all!"

Bull**** reasoning. The asshole currently known as "Harry Newton"
has been trolling the Apple news groups and belittling complete
strangers in them literally for hours a day for years now. He
constantly changes his name to avoid kill filters and pollutes the
otherwise peaceful Apple news groups with lame trolls filled with
lies and misguided opinions. Here's an incomplete list (and
counting) of his names:

Paul B. Andersen, Adair Bordon, Liam O'Connor, Juan Camilo Blanco,
Alphonse Arnaud, Danny D., Vinny Perado, Whitney Ryan, Tony Cito,
Adam H. Kerman, Werner Obermeier, Steven Bornfeld, Winston_Smith,
Mitch Kaufmann, Paul M. Cook, E. Robinson, Alice J., P. Ng, Tam
Nguyen, VPN user, Joe Clock, Marob Katon, Chris Rangoon, AArdvarks,
Conradt, Gustl Hoffmann, Henry Jones, Tatsuki Takahashi, AL, Horace
Algier, Karl Schultz, Arthur Conan Doyle, Algeria Horan, Horace
Algier, Raymond Spruance III, Martin Chuzzlewit II, John Harmon,
Yanis Bernard, Stijn De Jong, Abe Swanson, Misha Vasiliev, Tomos
Davies, Chaya Eve, Lionel Muller, Roy Tremblay, Frank S, Chaya Eve,
Blake Snyder, harry newton, Harold Newton

Multiple regulars in these news groups call him out on his lame-ass
trolls. But little, old *you* have decided to step in and support
the troll. Good work, there, junior!

Also, the cross posts to unrelated groups, and groups where he
anticipates some sort of support, and/or validation, are a pretty
good clue as to the trollish nature of posts from the Santa Clara
nymshifter.

This isn't my first rodeo. I've seen a number of ham groups destroyed
by this sort of behavior. One person is accused of being a troll, but
they aren't really a problem.

Harry has consistently and methodically disrupted the Apple news groups
with campaigns consisting of sometimes tens of separate threads at a
time, often with multiple nyms at a time, and more often than not
cross-posted to completely irrelevant groups, and you pop your head in
to claim they aren't a ****ing problem. What ****ing planet are you on
that trolls of the worst kind aren't really a ****ing problem?

They make their posts and people either read them or ignore them.

You're definitely not from around here, boy. This particular troll has
polluted these otherwise peaceful Apple newsgroups on a regular basis
with hundreds of posts under numerous and never-ending names to avoid
kill filters filled with misinformation and antagonizing and attacking
anyone who dare disagree or call him out on his bare-faced lies. And
they aren't just harmful little interactions that people can just
ignore, especially considering he *regularly* nym switches to avoid
filtering.

The problem arises when vigilantes try to "deal" with the problem by
turning the topic from the original to being about the accused troll.

No, the problem already existed. Whenever (which is constantly) it
becomes plainly obvious that "Harry" actively *ignores* and *disputes*
anything anyone says about the topic at hand that disagrees with his
lies, and attacks them instead, people *naturally* start examining his
character. His stubborn refusal to accept anything but his anti-Apple
position on a topic *forces* others to look at his personality faults as
an explanation for what might cause a person his age to literally spend
hours upon hours *daily* writing long, rambling, laborious posts where
he antagonizes and belittles complete strangers simply because he
dislikes Apple and people who use Apple devices.

Instead of solving anything, they make the problem 10 times worse.

Projection. Victim blaming makes the problem ten times worse.

That is what's going on here.

You're ignorant of the actual situation, and deluded.

I've killfiled JR, we'll see if the problem improves.

LOL! Enjoy "Harry's" trolls, idiot.
