Not true, Per,

Hutch is a troll, and not a very good one, at that.

WHAT?! Do you have any idea what a troll is?! A troll is someone who
deliberately posts false or misleading information, often crossposted to
many, totally irrelevant, groups. Hutch posts only helpful information (he
may not get it right 100% of the time, but he tries). If he makes a mistake,
it's a genuine one. May I suggest you do a Google search on basic Usenet
terminology.

I suggest you provide evidence of Hutch's 'trolling' or apologise to him. If
you can do neither, then I shall report you to your ISP for libel.

Report away,Per. Maybe I don't know what a "troll" is, according to you,
but I do know that what he posted was not really that funny. Ironic, no (
well maybe, a little). Stupid, yes. Did he really have all of the problems
he reported?, or was he giving false or misleading information?

You're welcome, Hutch. I will not sit idly whilst one of the helpful posters
is accused of being a troll. Ted, thank you for apologising. Paul, toddle
off and play on the motorway, there's a good little boy...

OMG, I don't even know if I should go into how ironic this is.

You swear at other innocent users all the time, but yet, you try to act all
heroic because "will not sit idly whilst one of the helpful posters
is accused of being a troll" yet YOU do it all the time! And I have nothing
to apologize for. All I said was, "And you threaten to report him, yet you
call him a ****wit. No doubt violating your ISP's EUP." And once again,
because of you lack of intelligence, instead of countering my points, it
sarcasm to the rescue!

You ****ing self-appointed, self-righteous, ruthless, bitchy net-cop.
Report that **** face.

I find it quite humorous that, once again, instead of
countering my points, it's sarcasm to the rescue!

PMSL! "I will not sit idly whilst one of the helpful
posters is accused of being a troll."
But I guess its OK for you to call other *innocent* users
****wits, morons, and lazy cretins.
You report people to their ISPs, for using innappropriate
language, yet, I wonder how many times you call people
****wits, morons, and lazy cretins.
