Why don't you simply kill the thread?


Good question, which I also have asked, repeatedly and recently (Feb
19) in this very thread.

Apparent Ken (Blake) would rather repeatedly complain about this
(non-)'problem' than solve it.

As I have posted, in his newsreader - Agent -, he can even killfile
"JohnDoe" and choose as Action "Ignore Thread" to killfile JohnDoe and
any and all responses to JohnDoe's threads once and for all, i.e. a one
time action, instead of having to kill every new thread which JohnDoe
creates.


And Thunderbird can do the same. Well, it can ignore the entire thread
or just the subthread (which I prefer when I use that action).


Can Thunderbird do such an action *once and for all* (like Agent can)?

I.e. one can tell Agent to killfile "JohnDoe" and choose as Action
"Ignore Thread". After that, you do not see any *new*/future threads
that "JohnDoe" starts, nor any responses in those new threads. (And of
course you don't see any current/old threads either.)

Can Thunderbird do *that*, i.e. set-and-forget?


Because Ken had 'threatened' to killfile people who respond to trolls,
I even morphed to post my advice/solution to him, but even that was not
acknowledged/rejected, nor - apparently - used.

Well, I/we tried. Can do no more.


I haven't bothered to morph. If he doesn't want to read me, that's his
prerogative.


To be clear, I only morphed to inform him of the Agent solution. He
didn't respond, so I went back to my normal name.

It acts on new posts, but you can manually run the filter on the folder,
which will apply to filter on old posts.

The filter will be there till you delete it.

By default, a filter only acts on a single folder, but there is a trick
to create a filter on the account instead, and then it applies to all
folders.

Mind, the filter would act not only on the threads he starts, but also
on those he replies to - which is why I'd kill subthreads, not threads.

If you are up to be sufficiently naughty, I'm sure that Google logs the

eventually find you.


unless it's obfuscated.

There was a high profile case in the USA, some whistle blower, that used
TOR to connect somewhere and post information. But once he connected
without TOR, so they investigated that IP and found him.


if that's the case i'm thinking of, he wasn't found by tracking his ip,
but rather that he made a threat to a school and there was a single tor
connection from that school at the same time as the threat was made.

it doesn't take a lot to figure out that those were related.

they knocked on his door and he confessed.


No, it was a different case. Someone high in the military.

arlen can't decide how many criteria his mission needs to satisfy:

a.h. said:
o The IP address that is PUBLIC is what matters most ....
o It's a secondary consideration to have privacy at the NNTP server ...
o It's a tertiary consideration ot have privacy at the ISP ...


So, it might be 'sufficient' to have the connectivity IP sufficiently
encrypted from the public such as e-s does (and others);

OR...

it MIGHT also be necessary to sign up for the free e-s account (or
other) with an anonymous email;

OR...

it might ALSO be necessary to somehow achieve one's internet
connectivity with some kind of anonymity.

By structuring a progressively ambiguous difficulty, a.h. is in total
control of criticizing any suggestions for a 'solution'.

AND... we haven't even begun to start naming all of the different
possible platforms with which one needs (to satisfy the mysterious a.h.
equation) to accomplish these goals. ios,mac,linux,win,android

Do your own research, it is a known case :-D

Example, Chelsea Manning

you made the claim.

Example, Chelsea Manning

https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...anning-wikilea
ks-security

But the reason Manning is now in military detention, awaiting court
martial, perhaps ultimately lies in a smaller action still, an error
thousands of email users make daily: choosing "cc" rather than "bcc".

In a plea for donations sent in 2009, that simple error led Julian
Assange to inadvertently reveal the identities of WikiLeaks' first 58
supporters to each other. One, ex-hacker Adrian Lamo, decided to use
this as an opportunity to test the whistleblowing site's honesty *
and "leaked" the email list to WikiLeaks.
....
Lamo turned over the chatlogs to US authorities

that wasn't tracing ip addresses.

https://blogs.cornell.edu/newmediaandsociety2015bhv6/2015/04/20/infrastructure-of-manning-leak/


that doesn't say anything about how.

It seems like a. h. has too much time on his hands.

I'm starting a Go Fund Me page to buy him all of the Bob Ross "Joy of
Painting" DVD's and books. Then a. h. can spend his time painting "happy
little trees".

(For anyone who doesn't know Bob Ross, he had a 'how to paint' program
on PBS. In a half-hour show, he taught people how to paint a
'masterpiece', with "happy little trees" wherever you wanted, because
"it's your world, and you should paint what makes you happy".)

There's more milk and cookies at the children's table.
