Promoting low-carb and supporting others doing low-carb doesnt
translate into vicious bashing of anything else not low-carb. It's a
maturity issue. Bashing things out of ignorance does nothing for your
cause.


Cause? This group's "cause" is to support those who want to lowcarb.

The bashers come here to harrass lowcarbers, lowcarbers don't go out to
other groups to bash anybody. I say the bashers who come here get what
they give (and deserve). It's not like they're going to actually
*listen* to anybody here. These are trolls after all.

Now if you want to have a real discussion amongst sensible people
(non-trolls) then you'd find Peter quite sensible on the subject
although enthusiastic about his personal epiphany. But this is not that
kind of thread.


So, in other words, anyone who is on another diet, or only partially
does low-carb, and does not follow the Atkins cult to perfection is
unwelcome.

Ya know what I say to that........ BULL**** !!!!!

If you look at the name of this newsgroup
alt.support.diet.low-carb
It first falls under the "support" category, for which there are
support groups for all kinds of things.

The next word is the key word "DIET".
What are you here to discuss? (((Diet))).

The final word "low-carb" specifies the type of diet. However, the
earlier word (diet) allows for more broad discussions about diet.


You know precious little about NNTP newsgroups so perhaps you should
limit yourself to staying on topic--oh wait you don't GET that concept
either.

****IF**** you want to talk about general dieting issues and NOT
low-carb dieting issues you would use the "alt.support.diet"
***THAT*** is why ***THAT*** group exists. Can numbnutz guess why they
created a low-carb specific group?

As long as the topic is about diet, it's allowed. There's a reason
these newsgroups are set up as they are.

Yep and you are clueless why.

That's why there is
alt.support.diet
alt.support.diet.fit-for-life
alt.support.diet.low-carb
alt.support.diet.low-fat
alt.support.diet.paleolithic
alt.support.diet.rx
alt.support.diet.weigh****chers
alt.support.diet.zone

According to you "theorY" of discussing anything along the hierarchy,
you can discuss any support topic from spousal-abuse to
cancer-survicors in alt.support.diet because the name has "SUPPORT" in
it.

Its the same as if there was a newsgroup called
alt.animals.pets.cats.whiskers.

Would you only talk about the cats whiskers,

YES you idiot. That would be ***EXACTLY*** why the original request
was sent out to initiate the group to create a group specifically for
low-carb discussion only. Get a brain!

or would you talk about
cats, and possibly other pets too? It's all acceptible.

No it's not. there would be a alt.animal.pets groups where dogs and
cats would be discussed. Have you got it yet?

Now if you started a topic about automotive repair, that would be off
topic.

Not apparently if it was a "support" topic since we have "support" in
the title.

The only reason you hear the word so much is because you obviously
behave like one. You are here merely to attack, under the very
christian guise of our benevolent savior. You are not here to discuss
or learn. You are a troll. You crave reaction. You fit the most
simplistic definition of one. Get used to hearing it, you obviously
are set in your way.

I find it entertaing that


and the later occurring


were completely absent from all newsgroups prior to these new posts in
low-carb. Could it be that you created this identity SOLELY to troll,
i mean, post in this one newsgroup??

Nah, that would make your reasons and behavior suspect.

And you profess to "know" about newsgroups. And you appear to use a
PAID newsguy account! SO you *probably* post elsewhere, you simply
don't want to be linked to your comments here. What? ashamed?

Most of the people here bothering to reply to you can have their
behavior and posting traced across multiple groups for years. They are
obviously comfortable with their actions. You are not.

Jesus did not bleed on a cross for you to attack people. So come down
off the cross and stop hitting people with your thorny crown.

If you want to avoid being called a troll, you must agree with
everyone on the group, and only post things that will please
everyone.


Untrue. I disagree with people here. Sometimes I make it known. I'm
not called a troll. I think I'm not called a troll because I'm here
for SUPPORT in low-carb eating as the newsgroup name implies.

There's also a thing called "freedom of speech", and as long as you
are talking about things closely or indirectly related to the topic,
you are using the group for what it was intended.


You aren't using the group for what it was intended. It was intended
to support each other; giving support to those who follow the low carb
way of eating. So you are not on topic; hence the troll word.

If people carried over the use of the word troll into real life, and
used it like they do on these nessgroups, then most politicians
would be called trolls because most of the time we dont like what
they say.


Are you kidding? Most politicians say what you WANT to hear. That is
why most of them are lying crooks.

In reality they are the REAL "troll" according to the actual meaning
of the word, because they are not adding anything useful to the
group.


That's not my understanding of the definition of troll. My
understanding is that a troll is a person who posts inflammatory
messages to birth more inflammatory messages, and is often
off-topic. You're trolling for a rise out of people.

Sure Atkins was a quack. Your problem in trying to prove the case, is
to post articles that are written by people with obvious agendas. Way
too obvious. Science is hard to find as there has been no long term
testing done on his "diet". The best was a one year low carb v low fat
diet that after 6 months had Atkins ahead in weight loss, lipids and
cholesterol numbers. Funny thing was, after a year, the low fat people
had pulled into a statistical dead heat with the low carbers, in all
categories.

I agree, but what if someone who wasn't a newsgroup regular and was just

do it or die. That's all, no need to turn it into something else.

Most of the people here are cultists. Logic is meaningless to them.
There is only one way, "their" way, and no other thought is allowed.
So if you don't do it their way you are a troll. Good v Evil rules

And nobody ever has gallbladder problems unless they go on Atkins? Unless
you have more information than you are relating I don't see any proof of
cause and effect here.
