Any you wonder why you are killfiled by so many here! Sheesh.

Why don't you go and ask a DIY question on a political group?

[Fredxx]

Well, no one else is going to reply to your posts.

Do you like hearing your own voice too?

[T i m]

Quite, but I'm guessing you don't GAF about that, as long as you are happy posting your blog here?

Indeed they are, but at least most of the respectful posters mark them accordingly.

So, seriously, why don't you post all your non d-i-y or OT marked stuff on your own Blog site? You might get people actually talking to you in sufficient number where you wouldn't need to talk to yourself so much?

Is this what you were like (or it's like with you on it) on uk.r.a?

Take a step back and take a look at how often others post here, how they do so and how often they talk to themselves?

Maybe you simply can't help yourself and exercise your Usenet tourettes here as a form of relief?

Start your own newsgroup then?

I guessed as much. Would you classify yourself as a troll OOI?

Because this is a social environment and you are being antisocial?

Of course and 'vive la difference', but netetiquette still applies to you.

Nope, never.

Ah, replies to posts typically in one that is already off topic you mean?

Whoosh.

There is a *massive* difference between starting 100 OT threads a day and replying to one with thread drift.

"Look back, I have started loads of off topic threads on this d-i-y group without marking them as such that many people have replied to who really shouldn't. Many didn't of course as they have me killfiled because of how much noise I generate."

There, I have fixed it for you. (Heehee)

I have him killfiled but people keep talking to him...

Sorry Bob,

At first I thought he was just an over excited kid with no friends. Now I realise he's just an old troll (with no friends).

I'll leave him to talk to himself ...

Yes well people were being extremely silly last weekend. I mean, maybe a whole generation does not know what risk actually is? Brian

[Spike]

I would have thought you would have put him down as a left-brainer.

[Brian Reay]

You need to remember Jim, like Spike, lives in a permanent state of social isolation.

Whilst that is likely to be the case (especially the lack of empathy), his randomness ... and need to blurt out whatever is in his mind here (in this d-i-y group), indicates otherwise (unless part of his lack of empathy or very deliberate).

Plus, left brainers generally like to conform to the rules (right brainers would want to comply because it's the 'right thing' to do), like marking OT posts suitably.

So I think he's just a bored, friendless troll. ;-(
