It's not my practice to killfile anyone, but I did a little test.
Using Mac Soup, I downloaded the entire newsgroup ( over 100,000 posts)
and reading off-line, using that neat little thread tree that shows who
responded to who and in what order, I determined that the majority of
Snit's posts appear to be early in the topic with a seeming intent to
drive the topic OT or to start an argument, generally by playing the
devil's advocate. Since this is such a large group and I get no kicks
out of reading abusive, flaming or argumentative posts, I've decided to
KF all who follow those practices and that should shorten considerably
the time and effort required to navigate this newsgroup.

It looks like you'll soon be talking to yourself.

The funny thing is he chastises me for something he gives *no* example of
while clearly starting a thread in a way that is unambiguously designed to
troll (or renaming one - I did not check and it makes no difference). In
other words while whining about me starting arguments he clearly was trying
to start one of his own.


I get this mental image of you and a sibling as children in the
back seat of the family car saying:

Mom, 'snits' touching me ...

and you responding much as you do now ...

I'm not touching you, you're touching me!

The problem is that by now you should've grown out of that type of
poke and complain interaction with others.

But, of course, you've haven't learned how to interact with others
in a more 'constructive' and mutually beneficial manner even now.

I do point out, as in this case, when people make accusations without any
support or are openly antagonistic. I see nothing wrong with that.
