Sigh. Well, gee thanks Mike. You'll note I said FILM scanners in my
post. You were describing flatbeds, yes? But you effectively defended `me`'s statement that not all film scanners do negatives. That will help keep him around. Well done. If you've killfiled him, don't you think it might be a little risky entering conversations that you only half-see? |

If you've killfiled him, don't you think it might be a little risky entering conversations that you only half-see? You're right, I shouldn't have responded to the point at all, which distracted from my main purpose in responding in the first place, which was to ask you not to feed the troll. I shan't do it again. Having said that, I wish you'd stop responding to him altogether. I may not see his posts, but I see your replies, so killfiling him does little to stop cluttering the group. If people would just stop responding to him altogether, then he'd get bored and go away. He long ago mauled his chance to be a constructive part of the group, and he shouldn't be rewarded for abusing his right to free speech. FREE SPEECH? YOU F#CKING HYPOCRITE! You above all people as a full fledged member of the alt.photography NG gang have no room whatsoever to preach about free speech. No one has done more to ridicule and attack others than you and the other gang members of this NG. Film best, me PS: You may look forward to reading responses to my posts for sometime to come. Enjoy! |

The problem with that approach is that newcomers to the group do not
know his `problem`, they see his posts, and may end up with a photography knowledge like his - ie, completely flawed and limited to his tiny experience. I think it IS worthwhile to point out his errors, in detail. Maybe I go overboard sometimes, but I find it hard to understand how someone can just blandly post an error (eg errors like - `not all film scanners scan negatives` - `moving a camera lens away from the body of a camera isn't like an extension tube` - `all lenses have independently moving front elements` - `Agfa Ultra 100 is a great all-purpose film` ...(I could go on and on) ...and then, instead of simply admitting error or listening to alternative advice or saying `Sorry, I may have misled you`, he turns it into a torrent of abuse, and tries to twist out of the errors and misinformation in a manner somewhat like Houdini, but nowhere near as entertaining. Obssessed? Yes, but with the truth about photography, and helping beginners. Over to `me` now - have the last word by all means. Note the folowing post as a good example (Mike, fyi - you were called a `F#CKING HYPOCRITE` by `me`, along with further accusations of the gang mentality, naturally) |

Dunno what the beef is between you and "me". Don't care.
If your space/life would be better/warmer/happier without any reminder of his existence, don't killfile only his messages. Also killfile any messages that contain references to him. It avoids the need for anyone to Net-Nanny and leaves the choice of your reading to you. HTH PS If you need assistance with your filters, you need only ask.

Don't you think I thought of that? Alas, it's going to be pretty difficult to effectively killfile messages that contain references to "me" in the body, don't you think? If you have a brilliant idea of how to do it, I'd love to hear it. Filter anything with " in the main body of text. Most newsreaders print the original users email address when replying to a post. This should filter any immediate replies to "me"s trolls. The 'me'tard has nothing to offer this group, but will probably hang around like a bad smell anyways. He is now killfiled on both my machines, and I guess I will filter as mentioned above as well because people ( including myself - oops ) keep replying to his posts. grol |

I have come to see that the use of this word is nothing more than another way to defame the comment or the commentator. Even if the label troll had retained it's original meaning what does it say about the culpability of it's user? Are they not equally guilty of trolling? How does impaling their foe with this label elevate them above their enemy? To my enemies I say: You may, with my blessing, continue to troll along behind me impaling me whenever you please.
