I'll try again. "You are not just a penis but you are a sexist and
offensive penis". You'd never write anything like that; neither would
I, nor would most on here (not all, I admit!). This is the foul,
abusive rubbish that W comes out with and there are people on here,
one of them in the post above this that don't just tolerate him, but
encourage him to comtinue his policy of attempting to belittle others,
if they disagree with his left-field pseudo-science. I think it is
worth highlighting this. You obviously don't like what he says and to
killfile him, you must have felt in a similar way to me, in the past.
Indeed, I'll bet you've said similar things before you killfiled him.
So why so morally indignant now?

Appeasement Joe? I've never been one for allowing abusers and bullies
(or purveyors of such pseudoscience as W constantly produces) to get
their own way without challenge. I don't agree with Killfiling
anybody. All that does is allows you to be all 3 of the monkeys for
that person, whilst criticising anyone that brings the abuser back
into your range - that's what Kate's done, transferring her ire in the
process onto me. That's far easier than dealing directly with W, as
you know what you'll get from that quarter in the end.

I think you don't understand quite how Usenet works, especially as you
seem to be using Googlegroups. If you quote someone else's post in your
reply, everyone can see it. I myself should have edited earlier, it's
true. I don't want to killfile you, Dawlish, because your weather posts
interest me, but I'm really sick of all this sniping, and wish you would
all just stick to the weather. I consider this topic now closed and
have killfiled the thread, which was a typical example of the most
obnoxious stuff this group sadly can produce.

I do understand Kate, but I don't understand the Killfile mentality.
This format is so unbelievably dated and it harks back to earlier days
of the Internet. That's why so few use it. However, there are some
very good people who are well worth reading each day on here. I like
to see the weather reports and Colin's summaries aspecially, but the
discussions are often lame - until some entertainment comes round!
There are always people who are "sick of all this sniping", but if it
didn't interest them (and you) they (and you) wouldn't reply! It's
just an excuse for most to steal the moral high ground, which I never
mind. Glad you find my weather stuff interesting. There's a lot more
on our site.

Usenet has much better functionality than most Web forums, but since
you're accessing it via Google you're missing out on much of that. It's
true that it's now less popular than Web forums, but that's because many
people are impressed by fancy graphics.

Impyling, or course, that "this group" has a high moral value. This
discussion is an interesting angle on morality and values.

"This group" includes everyone that posts in it and if "petty
squabbles" occur (and they do, with regularity and they provide a
great deal of interest, for me and others), then "petty squabbles", by
definition, are not unbecoming of the group, but an integral part of
it.

That could be because "fancy graphics(!)" are far more interesting -
which is why they attract far more people.

I doubt whether Kate would like to join any club of which you are a
member, T. After your memorable use of a particular word on here, you
are the same club as W.

Abuse-is-us. Sorry I haven't got a smiley of someone being sick.
