Thank you for your advise.

However I absolutely have no idea what "your location is a little vague
since you just broadcasted the whole world on this newsgroup." mean.

Are you being sarcastic? Well, I guess it's your choice to be that way but
BE POLITE especially to new comers to your news group. I was just trying to
help a cat rather than abandoning her (searched apartments by apartments to
find the owner, called a couple of animal shelters and so on) and you are
treating me like that?

Well, if I am wrong would you care to explain.
If not, screw you.

He simply meant that, this being UseNet, people from all over the world read
it and have no idea where you're posting from unless you tell them.  We have
people who post here from Finland, Australia, the UK, and Thailand to just
name a few.

Hugs,

  You are trying to help a cat: that's great.

  To do so you post on a newsgroup read by people in Beijing, China;
Paris, France; Los Angeles, USA; Cape Town, South Africa; Sidney,
Australia; Hong Kong, Hong Kong; Vancouver, Canada.

  It really is not much help saying you have found a cat without giving
any of us the faintest clue which continent you live in, leave alone
country.

It's posts like the one you're objecting to that earned NMR
a place in my kill-file.  Maybe he/she is just totally
tactless, but a few posts like that one were enough for me.

You still are a bitch Evelyn in my book there is to many reason why you
earned that title.

Calling one of the group's caring regulars by harsh names is a good way to
get added to lots of killfiles at once.

Politeness and civility is never out of place, but incivility usually is.

I don't want to see anyone in this ng address another in that way.  I
don't find that acceptable.

Precisely the reason WHY "NMR" is in my kill-file!  If
he/she/it has authored more civil posts, it was long after
earning a rightful place there.  (Consequently, I've not
seen them, but I can't really believe I've missed much.)

She may have a sharp tongue and at times hurt people's feelings (mine
too, occasionally), but still it doesn't justify calling anyone names.

I concur, Christine, NMR is now killfiled.

Go right on ahead an kill file me.  That snob b@tch  earned her name by
accusing and commenting that I mental abused my wife and family.

Before you all jump and be holy know what you are defending.  She has a
sharp tongue so what I can deal with that when it towards me leave my family
out of it.   I don't take anything from anyone who comments about my family.

She openly comments about me she is going to get it right back 100 times
worse.

So kill file me all you want I will still be here whether you like it or
not.

Now, NMR, I would comment but I hate to take sides.

Can't we all just get along.

NMR - 27 Dec 2005 16:23 GMT
You are one of the smart ones keeping out of something that is between me
and her that she loves to keep it going.

But alright since you asked I will be nice. I will end and start the new
year by "trying" to leave the snob alone
If you have noticed I only give it to her when she openly comments about me
but neither here nor there.

But I will not change my opinion about her.  She earned that title

Didn't she has you added to her kill file list for being a troll if I
remember correctly?

Honey, cybercat is NOT me.  Please do not confuse me with that c.nt.  I
always sign my posts with my initial.  Cybercat won't tell you her real
name, but we all know it anyway thanks to Karma.

I haven't seen her make any comments about your family on this group. And
if she didn't harrass you on this group, then please don't harrass her on
this group. With the problems we had with trolls not too long ago, none of
us wants to see any member of this group subjected to name-calling.

Please, if you have problems with Evelyn or any other regular of this
group, take it off-list. If anyone tries to attack you on-list we'll also
ask them to move that off-list. We just don't want to have to suffer
through bickering between two individuals. Think of this group as a large
shared living room. Someone who visits in my living room and starts
throwing hostile names at another guest will get an invitation to leave.
If you've got to call someone names, do it somewhere else. This is not an
appropriate forum.
NMR - 27 Dec 2005 16:40 GMT
Dan I will apologize to the group and you for my open comment but not to
her.

You may have not seen the comment but she did before but neither here nor
there it is between me and her.  I am a troll and killfile in her book that
is fine in my book. I don't killfile unless it is a complete idiot I just
delete.

You are right about the open forum and the commenting but the same goes for
the other side.  When I am openly commented about the commenter is going to
get it right back  just like every one else does out here.

But either my other post has not made it or you missed it.   I told cybercat
( who is also killed filed by Evelyn for being a supposed troll) I would
leave her alone  but as I said when you openly attack you are going to get
it back both barrels.  I will just keep the name calling to a civil level
from now on.

I appreciate that. You're right, I didn't see Evelyn make inappropriate
comments about you, but with all the traffic in this group I don't read
all the messages, either. But if ever I do see *anyone* making
inappropriate comments about one of our regulars (including you) I will
ask them to take it off-list. And I happen to agree with Evelyn about
cybercat; I've had her killfiled for some time now for her tendency to
make inflammatory and inappropriate remarks in this group.

I've added a lot of people to my killfile in recent months, and that's
unfortunate. I really don't want to be perceived as a netcop, I'm just
really, really sensitive now about personal battles going on in a public
forum.

You didn't see it because it never happened!  (Unless you
consider "plonking" him/her/it - along with protesting an
insulting post about one of our regular members -
"inappropriate".)  Evidently No More Retail has cleaned up
his act since then (along with changing his name) but I
would hardly call him  "regular" since he didn't appear here
until the troll incursion last summer (when his posts made a
good imitation of being one of them).  I've been posting to
the group for the better part of five years, and many others
 were here when I started.  They merit the term "regular",
I don't think NMR does (unless he was here under yet another
name).

The only "comment" I recall making directly to NMR (aka No
More Retail) was in protest to one of his/her/its insults to
another rpca poster, followed by "(P-L-O-N-K!)".  (From
which point onward I was spared any further posts from that
source, except in replies you guys make to it.)  Judging
from the quote you included above, one might call its
literacy into question - perhaps its reading comprehension
is equally lacking?
NMR - 27 Dec 2005 22:39 GMT
I won't even bother  saying anything  just proves my point
At this time I am adding her to my delete file not a kill file just a delete
file

NMR is a man, not an "it".

He wasn't very nice to call you what he called you, but it's very poor
netiquette to criticize another poster's writing skills. What's next, a
spelling flame? That's the last resort of someone who has nothing better
to say.

Are you sure?  I admit I "plonked" him early in his career
here (when he was calling himself "No More Retail", and
insulting almost anyone who replied to his trollish posts)
but I certainly haven't seen anything among subsequent
quotes in replies to his posts that seem to warrant
UNplonking him.

NMR - 28 Dec 2005 02:26 GMT
Once a snob always a snob

I shortened it to NMR  instead of every one having to typing NO MORE RETAIL
out. And hence almost anyone that matters knows my real name

As I said she can't leave it alone and everyone was wondering why I gave her
that so well deserved title

First my wife and family that she can't recall typing it,  now she is
questioning my man hood.

But neither here nor there all she is doing is showing her real side to
everyone
