Not in the slightest but if you want to continue the name-calling that the clique doesn't do, please continue to prove my point. Outside this group, the clique mentality here occasionally gives rise to comment. Some individuals have commented on how unwelcome they were made to feel by the ones currently preening themselves on how "nice" they are. Sadly the recto-oral inversion that prevails means that those individuals never turn the microscope of their observation on themselves.

I just did a search in ucsm for PolitBuro, and can't find any posts by or about them. Are they part of the clique? Or related to the Men in Black, the CheeseStealers and the leprechauns? -- Pd

I think it's the only sane way of dealing with something you can do nothing about. Do let me know if you find a way to actually stop the crazies posting, but until that happens, it's simpler to stop them appearing in my personal newsfeed, using killfiles. > Some of what McDonal says can be interesting, and it is sometimes hard to > work out why he starts reacting to people in the manner he does. I don't think it's hard at all - he's a delusional paranoid. It's painfully obvious that what he thinks is going on is different from what every other person on this newsgroup thinks is going on. That's delusional. He thinks everyone is against him - that's paranoid. > I just find it interesting that the internet is full of people who think > they can get away with whatever they like that's all. For the most part, they can. Anyone can say whatever they like in an unmoderated newsgroup, and for the most part there are almost no consequences. It reflects well on human nature that there are at least some newsgroups where most of the discussion is sane, civilized and interesting. -- Pd
