I frequented the group that I believe Aragorn spoke of, where he was himself chastised and shunned (well, maybe "shunned" is a bit harsh, but it conveys the thoughts of some) for defending himself against a troll. Aragorn left the group for a good year. Shortly after Aragorn left, the troll was no longer engaged, lost interest, and left. I just googled him, and either he's left Usenet entirely, or he has changed his pseudonym once more. When Aragorn returned to the group, he was welcomed with open arms. The same thing has happened on another group I frequent, with an even bigger buffoon than Sidney. For years, this guy posted right and left on a single rant, every time anything came up that he could even remotely connect to his "cause." People engaged him every time, and the more they engaged, the more he came back, with the same one-note rant. Finally, they all gave up, realizing that he discredited himself with every post. The guy hasn't been heard from in that group in six months.

That's not what I mean. If he had been replaced by someone much more competent the war might have been much worse. He had some very sharp people working for him but the results they were able to achieve were limited by his erratic behavior. Imagine Nazi Germany run by Goering with Rommel as minister of war. -- John Hasler jhasler(a)newsguy.com Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA

Prisoners can be released and an attempt at compensation made (unfortunately, it rarely is). Death is irreverseable. -- John Hasler jhasler(a)newsguy.com Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA |
