I usually just lurk in this group.

After reading a number of posts by this "Good Guy" chap, I am convinced
he is just not quite right in the head. He seems to intentionally
antagonize people but he has a very thin skin and can not take what he
dishes out.

I bet he will kill filter me, which is fine, but that is like sticking
your fingers in your ears and whistling whenever someone says something
you don't like.

Labeling people is kind of distasteful, but it seems that Good Guy fits
the definition of a troll. It would be great if he would learn a
lesson from all this, but I suspect he already knows everything.

Couldn't have said it better...

Not a troll. Something else.

We could play "20 questions", but it would be
easier for Good Guy to just tell us.

I bet you're in his kill filter now... |-)

Simple:

Select the message of the person you want to kill file. Go to
Message/Create Filter From Message and choose Delete Message which is
chosen by default.

I have the option to ignore (sub)thread in Agent, but in TB I would
create a filter, based on author, to have it marked read and then use
'Quick Filter' to show only unread messages. This way, you don't end up
with a "broken" thread.

More important is for us to killfile him, which I've already done.
If we would all do that, I not only wouldn't have to read his junk,
but I also wouldn't have to read all the replies to him.

Because this action should have taken place as soon as the first post
hit these newsgroups. You guys are very slow to learn new things.

We have something called "perspective".

Something you're biologically incapable of.

We don't need the newest of everything.

We weigh the value of things.

We make decisions for ourselves.

We're not pack animals. "I am not a number, I am a free man".

No two people here have the same opinions. But, what
these people can do, is they can explain, in a logical
fashion, where that opinion comes from. When a decision
is based on emotion instead of cold logic ("I like chocolate"),
the person with the opinion can explain that. And that's all part
of having perspective and being capable of introspection.

You're missing some of that. And the condition has a name.

That's why I was serious when I said "Not a troll".
You actually believe the things you say, but the
missing bit of you is incapable of noticing
the lopsided nature of your opinions. And I'm not
talking about a difference of opinion here - I have
difference of opinion with lots of people here.
The difference is, the logic behind your opinions
is unfathomable to people here. And, that's your "condition".
You've dealt with the condition since you were very young.

*******

There's things you do, which are the same as the rest of
us. If I put you in a room, which has a chair on one
side of the room, and a high shelf with a bowl of chocolates
in it, you would immediately move the chair over next to the
high shelf, stand on the chair, and help yourself to the
chocolates.

Now, that requires a certain kind of logic. That's a kind of
spatial reasoning.

But when it comes to some other things, something is missing.
You develop strong opinions, but apparently for no fathomable
reason. How can you explain that to us ???

his "disorder".

For some conditions, talking about it helps. For others,
not so much.

For example, when one of my co-workers had a
"schizophrenic episode" and started kicking
holes in a hallway at work, he was put on
medication, and returned to work around 3 months
later. Which I thought was astonishingly fast.
Because of the high stress environment we worked in,
he was given a change of scene as well, so the
shock of coming back to work, wouldn't reverse his
progress.

So some things can be relatively easy to treat.

But brains which are mis-wired, not so much.

My next door neighbor has three boys, and one of them
is "a little off". He's given "play dates", to
help socialize. They also watch him like a hawk.
One parent (or a housekeeper when both are away) is
around any time he is home. And he's escorted where
ever he goes. I don't know what mischief he's gotten
into, but the parents are paying a heavy burden.
The only thing I've caught him doing, is trying
to start a fire one day. Naw, that couldn't be it...

Parents can do some awful things to kids.

There's an 18 year old "street person" in my old neighborhood.
He was likely kicked out of the house a bit early. When
he's under pressure, like having a disagreement with another
street person, he delivers the epithet "You idiot". Which,
you'd say, is perfectly normal. Except, he's a guy, and
when "You idiot" comes out of his mouth, it's in a perfect
imitation of a woman's voice. You see, his mother used to
chastise him, over and over again, with "You idiot", for
something done in the house. And like a parrot, he's learned
a perfect imitation of his mother. And, he's completely
oblivious to what he's just done, and that he said it
in a woman's voice. Now, that's good parenting.

In another case, in the neighborhood I grew up in,
there was a 5 or 6 year old on one street over from
where I lived. If you walked up to him (as a complete
stranger), he would say "I'm a little monkey". His mother
would apparently say "You little monkey" to him, over
and over again. But unlike the other case, the kid
just internalized it as actually realizing he was
a monkey. Because his mother had told him this, day
after day. So rather than introduce himself as "Johnny",
instead he was "a little monkey".

So for any of you parents out there, this is what
good parenting is all about. If you're going to
yell at the kids, *rotate your insults*. Don't
let them get too fixated on just the one insult.
Call him "a little asshole" one day, and "you idiot"
the next. So when he is 18 and a street person,
he'll have a rich varied lexicon :-)

It's just my opinion, but it seems like letting this bloke do your

Jack Nicholson.

I don't believe you're wondering anything. The more pertinent question
is, why would you bother wasting your own time, as well as others, by
being such an uniformed, combative dick? What's the point? Exploiting
other people's innate good will doesn't really make you superior,
despite what you may think. It just makes you self-aggrandizing.
