No one thinks you're a "goody goody" or a "do gooder," Isaac. We think you're an asshole.

You come into our group, and you disrespectfully flaunt our Guidelines.

You bury all of our poetry related posts under a flood of asinine, off-topic "hellos" to our group's biggest trolls.

You ignore our requests to stop, and have helped to drive real poets (like Mr. Burrows) away.

So, yeah... you're an asshole.

And if you act like an ass, you're going to get spanked.

Deal with it.

Exactly, just as family and friends should be left out of attack, such as your nephew.

Nobody thinks you are a "goody goody" or "do gooder." People think you are a hypocritical, self-inflating, ignorant, semi-literate, clueless douchebag..

You brought Jordy in when 1) you adopted his name, 2) you told us that he was your nephew, 3) you posted tidbits about his life (Jordy on Price Is Right), etc.

You claim to have been on the Usenet for so long yet you act so selfish and naive about putting your nephew's name on it where you know it would be ridiculed. Did you even ask your nephew for his consent about posting his name and personal business before you choose to post it solely to satisfy what ever desire you had to tell everyone of what you're so proud of? Did you ever consider, that your nephew didn't want someone else telling everyone about his business? You do know that you take consent away from him when you do not let him control what goes out on the contentious Internet?

Anon wants to know, that using your nephew's name and posting about him on the Internet could cause him harm that you do not realize-- employers now do Internet searches on employees and they don't care about complicated, convoluted circumstances, they just see controversy that will sour their opinion of a potential employee. It much easier for the employer to just avoid the drama entirely.

An, dude...
Did you think that Usenet was Never Never Land?
It's part of real life I hate to tell you-- what you do here, just like anywhere on the Internet, is like you saying it out in the public square. I warned people that what they do here shows up on the Internet and potentially in the public's eye with real world consequences-- especially in regard to people's perceptions.
I'm with MMP about keeping the squabbling here, with Will and Zod hogging up the spotlight and making it look like it's their personal group, no one will come here to notice the fighting, so you guys can do as you always do-- piss off anyone else here and get brow beaten for it, which you seem to find endearing. Why else would you do it-- every other sane person that doesn't want to fight has left this shitsty behind.

It has just become a part of real life for "Jordy."

You certainly aren't doing him any favors by egging him on to post more "hello"s.

Right, as you try to cyberbully Jordy with your lies and misrepresentations about him and his family.

Call it what you like. The fact remains that you *know* his "hello" posts are going to provoke these responses (in accordance with my newly adopted ethical system of Tit for Tat). Yet, you continually provoke him to make more "hello" posts, knowing full well what the outcome will be.

What's worse is that you also know that "Jordy" is the one who will suffer the consequences from responding to your "hello" posts to him. You get off scot-free.

It's easy to keep on provoking a flame war when you're not the one paying for it.

With friends like you, "Jordy" doesn't need enemies.

"Jordy" practically begged Jim to take it to real life. So Jim already has his permission to do so.

Apparently, the protocol is that we must 1) threaten to contact CPUSA, and 2) wait until we receive "Jordy"s permission; or 3) show that we are doing so for "constructive" reasons.
