They work out of a Yahoo Group named, not surprisingly, Tykesground
and have ruined many other usenet groups over the past five years or
so.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tykesground

The best advice I can give is not to antagonise them as they have been
known to repeatedly email bomb anyone who criticises them.

Joe.

Evidence Joe? This is a nasty troll fabrication.

uk.local.yorkshire tried to stand up to trolls, and when it got too much,
they did indeed form the Yahoo group to provide a non-Troll haven, and the
troll groups don't like it cos they can't disrupt that. Plus the recent
formation of uk.local.yorkshire.moderated has really got up the trolls noses
as well, they can't disrupt that either to any great extent.

I am a Tykesgrounder, and proud of it... Believe ye not the trolls that say
this flood is coming out of there, its a well known troll tactic to divert
the focus away from themselves onto someone else.

I guess the name is related to the fact that uk.local.yorkshire is
notorious for this sort of thing.

You are indeed quite correct, David.

Many, if not all, of these "Tykesground" trolls originated from the
uk.local.yorkshire newsgroup.

But, as I've said previously, it's not really a good idea to discuss
them too much here for fear or their nasty reprisals.



Evidence Joe? Headers, emails, etc. Accusations like that are not a good
idea. Please read my previous post, you have been very sadly misled...

I don't fear nasty reprisals, because people can be tracked no matter
how good they think they are

If they go too far, then ISP's will be informed, if they still
continue, then there is the possibility of taking legal action

This is a form of electronic terrorism. People should not fear sad
people that have no lives.

I post from a dummy email address that i don't use anymore. They can
bomb all they like. I'll have fun tracking and tracing them :-)

And I think you'll find them based in the US. I can't believe, that on the
basis of one person, that people are willing to believe his word. I will go
so far as to say that I don't believe anyone from the Tykesground group will
be behind any of this. I know everyone in that group and most of them are
anti-spam, in any form.

Joe, unless you have proper evidence to back up your claim, I suggest you
either shut up or apologise.

What Joe hasn't said is that a similar Yahoo group, uk.local.trolls, was
removed by Yahoo as it was contrary to Yahoo rules.
