    Thanks but no thanks —Jeremy H. Sproat
   Tom, Chris, Larry, Matt, and Todd (and others): thanks for your input. I really do appreciate it. Everyone else: Hey, you know what guys? Forget it. It's been made clear to me that this particular raving nutcake, noisy whiner, hypocrite, hater, and (...) (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.auction)

         Re: Thanks but no thanks —Gary Istok
      (...) I always try to stay neutral in these mud slings, but I have to agree with Paul. No one should get you mad enough to quit any part of LUGNET. We all disagree at times, we just shouldn't take it personnally. And yet we always do take it (...) (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Thanks but no thanks —Jason Rowoldt
     Jeremy, I just read through this entire thread out of curiosity. Man, what is going on here? You are a little spaz. If you don't want to get solicitation emails from this guy, put him on ignore, man. Don't like the fact that you are charged for (...)

      (...) <snippage> You missed Jeremy's point.

      (...) Thus you have the means to prevent them and block addresses. MY point was that with the tiniest, tiniest bit of effort, the inconvenience is gone. It would have taken him far less time to block the address than rant on LUGNET. I can already (...) (24 years ago, 27-Sep-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.auction)

      (...) Fixing symptoms does not fix problems. (...) Yup, you're right. It's much easier to just ignore/delete/block spam than it is to try and do something to correct it. So?

          Re: Thanks but no thanks —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) Just nitpicking here, not sure of the overall relevance, but... Bad analogy. (having tried and failed to move cows and having actually fixed fences). It's a LOT easier to fix a fence that doesn't want to be fixed than to move a cow that (...) (24 years ago, 27-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

     (...) Now now, Jeremy. Don't overreact. You may be a raving nutcake but you're *our* kind of raving nutcake. Some people don't agree with your stance on this issue, but that's not the same as not being welcome here. Heck, even *I* feel welcome here (...)

     (...) I've seen something like this happen about three dozen times on list and newsgroups and such. Prety quickly, I developed the stance of "well, bye."

     (...) OK PEOPLE, I have tried for days to ignore this abuse on both side for the past couple of days. A few have taken this to a level that it should have never reached. A new all time low.

     (...) Not even close... I don't know what the overall record for LUGNET is but check out the Age Limitations thread in org.us.nelug it got about 250 posts in just 2 days back in July.
