The unregulated forum has a wide swing of opinion and the leading edge of
new ideas. This rose does have its thorns, but it is much better than watching Fear Factor. "flyinfinn" wrote in message ... I've been reading this group off and on for a couple of months. I've seen nothing of use here.....The people that are sincere get bombarded by assholes like JC and now he has his deciples.. Sheesh, you people better get a real life.. I lost my weight , no thanks to this group.. I'm leaving one last message and then deleting this group..I've seen many jerks in my life, but this has to be one of the worst for negativity. I urge the "sincere" people to get the hell outta here and do it on your own...There's nothing to learn here. This group belongs to JC and his converted assholes.. JC, you can have it...As for me, I've got a real life...Sitting here 24/7 like you do, is a poor way to live. JC, you have a generic answer for everything.. Eat less and exercise.....My response to you is.. **** less outta your mouth and get away from the computer....There's a real world out there. This is not meant to all.....Good luck in your venture, but, when it's all said and done...It's up to you and only you |

Learning to deal with assholes is a valuable life lesson. I am amazed that
so many people arrive here without having already learned that lesson. I wonder what they do in RL when they encounter one. I can't believe that they never do. In ups.com, stated | "Why take JC this seriously? Cmon. He has a schtick. That's it. " | | Most of the people who have been around a while realize what he is. | But how about the newbies that show up and ask a question of two and | get blasted with vulgarity and abuse? How many of them who we would | like to have in the group just give up and go away? That is what | kills groups and why I don't think this behavior is funny, cute or | should be encouraged. If anything, we should all start complaining | to his ISP about his abuse of the newsgroups. |

However, even at 'not at all", he's still a RCH above you, you fence-sitting mealy-mouthed junior dung beetle suck-up. You really should switch on your newsgroup filter if all you see when you log in here is a heirarchy of... beetles. JC is only as consequential as you make him. As such, he's still an RCH above you, you whining, mewling, baby-faced fatty. any more questions, doc? Sure. Your momma have any kids that lived? LassChance Start LC~5-16-05 202-188-165 |

What you do is you evaluate their threat level (here, its near-zero), show 'em who's boss, and then move on. Any more energy spent than that is a bit silly.

Lass Chance wrote: snip Listen up: Newcomers being met with smarmy holier-than-thou, insulting bull**** from der Konehead is not "amusing", Dr.Ernie DungBeetle et al. It's ****ing unacceptable in a place intended to offer "support". What a joke. snip LassChance If you don't like it, go to ADBB. It's moderated there. The only choices you have otherwise are to a) whine about dung beetles, b) ignore it, or c) stop taking you and this NG so seriously. JC is an asshole, but he's only as harmful or consequential as you make him. Why do you choose to make him so? |

And yet we see endless long diatribes. JC must surely enjoy all the space
devoted to him. In ups.com, stated | What you do is you evaluate their threat level (here, its | near-zero), show 'em who's boss, and then move on. Any more energy | spent than that is a bit silly. | |

That is what kills groups and why I don't think this behavior is funny, cute or should be encouraged. I agree. That's why I warn newbies about him in my weekly low-carb posts. It's not personal -- he's an equal opportunity asshole and should be ignored. Aside from the usual aversion to him, I have a BIG problem with him encouraging mentally unstable people to kill themselves (he's done that more than once). I find that REPREHENSIBLE and cannot comprehend why some others defend him just because he occasionally posts something useful. Let me be clear - I agree completely about the point about encouraging suicide. I think its wrong, it makes my skin crawl, and I think he should drop it from his "schtick" immediately. However, there's not much that can be done about it either way. I've chosen to accomodate to him. -- Saffire 205/137/125 Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 |
