So I tell him why I crosspost: From: xanthian Mon Apr 22 14:04:08 2002 To: dewar@gnat.com Subject: Re: your posts Robert, All my posts, everywhere, are cross-posted to misc.misc; it has to do with a decade long battle with the mindless maggots who think group charters don't apply to them. When I cross-post to talk.bizarre, it is because some part of what I wrote will amuse the people there. Otherwise, I cross-post when the topic is appropriate for the indicated newsgroups. xanthian. At which point he admits that he's mad because _he_ made a mistake: To: dewar@gnat.com, xanthian@well.com Subject: Re: your posts Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2002 19:43:39 -0400 (EDT) From: dewar@gnat.com (Robert Dewar) I got angry messages from talk.bizarre. I really think this cross-posting is a very bad idea. Since you are doing it on all your posts, I have added you to my kill list, since I don't want to make the mistake of repeating this mistake and understandably make people mad. THanks for your note. To which, having been twice insulted, I try to respond: From: xanthian Mon Apr 22 16:56:23 2002 To: dewar@gnat.com Subject: Re: your posts Funny, I _never_ get angry messages from talk.bizarre for my xposts there, perhaps because I take care that what I post actually contains something the generous person might consider *bizarre*. As for kill files, have at it. I kept a long string of your inane letters defending your rudeness to c.l.a posters online for general consumption for a _very_ long time, they may be there still, though I think lack of space eventually did them in; it isn't as if you or I have compatible life philosophies or anything. xanthian. But of course, having twice disobeyed my long past admonishions to keep his worthless and provocative tripe out of my email box, the gutless coward has one again spammed and run: To: dewar@gnat.com, xanthian@well.com Subject: Re: your posts Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2002 19:58:16 -0400 (EDT) From: dewar@gnat.com (Robert Dewar) Sorry mail is no longer being accepted at this address from xanthian@well.com so your mail is returned unopened When is publishing private email OK? When the perpetrator leaves no other choices. And as I say, this isn't the first time this entire cycle has gone around, making at least both of us slow learners. It's too bad someone with such low personal morals has his hooks so firmly sunk into the Ada community; without his constant obstructionism and insults to new Ada users, real progress in bringing Ada into synch with modern programming practices might be possible.
