Well if you are so damned experienced in alt.ascii-art over 5 years 
then you should know well that will happen if you feed Casso...so now 
having fed him...you blame Casso for doing something he cannot, in 
turn, resist doing?   Bah!  Humbug!  

Check your attributes carefully anyway...you claim to be a be a Usenet
literate...prove it!

Well if you had refrained from blinding yourself to your "much nicer 
way"... you would see that your "nicer way" was in fact to write:

Get your facts straight, Martin.


> Stupid postings eh?   Well I`m not stupid...

People, including me, do make stupid postings. 

That does not make a person inherently stupid unless their "stupid 
postings" are more the norm rather than the exception. 

Just lately, you _have_ been making _some_ stupid postings, like the 
"Casso Bait" and reopening the "TIME TRAVEL" Crossposted Troll.  I 
have brought these to your attention.  You don't like me doing that?  
Tough Biccies!

Bzzzt!  If that's what you think...then you would be dead wrong. 

Nothing could be more dull or boring than a newsgroup with one 
person as the only poster! 

However it is your privilege to think what you like.  Thought 
Control is not yet a feature of the Net.

In fact, I do not deliberately wish to annoy anyone here but it is 
impossible not to annoy people on the Net, however hard you try not 
to do so.  

You need a rhino-hide to survive here and if it ever gets too hot in 
the kitchen then it is best for people to keep out...and...don't 
indulge in "harmless funnies"...you are likely to get hotly flamed 
whether you think your "funnies" are lighthearted and frivolous or 
not. 

What matters is what other newsgroup readers think...and 
Smartasses are not usually well received.

Oh Really? If your experience and knowledge of this newsgroup 
"alt.ascii-art" and Usenet itself is as long as you say then you 
cannot have paid close attention to how this newsgroup, alt.ascii-
art, has progressed, developed and performed over it's 5 years 
existence since it's creation in September 1993.  

I don't remember you _at all_ from 1993.  It seems to me you did not 
appear here in "alt.ascii-art" until 1997, at the earliest, but 
correct me if I'm wrong.  Very Shortly after your arrival you seemed 
to begin siding and supporting Casso and his views and activities 
because he encouraged you and told you by telling you he was 13 
years old.

Also consider...experience of Usenet or length of time acquiring that 
experience is no guarantee that you have become less clueless or 
conduct you Net activities more sensibly...irrespective of time.
At age 15 now you must have started in usenet at 10 years old...too
early IMNSHO.

Once again if you claim to have been in alt.ascii-art as a Regular 
User/Reader for 5 years then you could not possibly have missed the 
_several_ postings from Veronica on how to handle Casso, his Stein 
Wars, or his excessive behaviour.  

I think what you might be saying is that you choose not to remember 
Veronica Karlsson's postings.  If that is the case then it is
your privilege so to choose.
