This post may be off topic so I will apologise in advance. I just
want to get it off my chest.

I first discovered the wonderful world of usenet and newsgroups years
ago and I used to enjoy coming here to MTT and reading what others had
to say and occasionaly posting a comment or question myself.

Things sure have changed over the years. Now you run the risk of
getting flamed left and right with every post you make.

Sure, there were trolls then but it seems the problem has gotten way
out of control. Because of excessive crossposting, when you respond
to a post you never know where its gonna end up and that just brings
out MORE trolls.

I have been guilty of flaming, myself, and when I read my posts a day
or two later after I have calmed down I feel really ashamed of myself
for stooping to their level.

I have also been guilty of crossposting. Mainly because of my
ignorance of proper usenet procedures. I don't always think to delete
the other groups when I respond to a post. Sorry. But I have more
important things to do in my life than staying online 24/7.

Because of this I am not as computer or usenet savvy as a lot of the
others. I just don't have the time to do the research required to
look up info on others and use it for personal attacks.

Now you have people who feel the need to respond to every post,
whether they know what they are talking about or not. And you have
the people who have to search usenet to find posts from those
idividuals and tell them what an *** they are for posting
incorrect info. This is a waste of time and bandwith because the
other people in this group are smart enough to figure it out for
themselves.

There can be a lot of useful information in this group. There are
posters here who know what they are talking about and are ready and
willing to help newbies with their questions. People like Tscottme,
Pat Durkin, Amy, Slo, Rock Salt, just to name a few...hell, even
~Tony~ has useful information most of the time. But then you have
others such as (I'll just use initials here but you know who I'm
talking about) RB, AC, RL and the like. People like these have soured
me on usenet. If you look around you'll see that these people are
posting in multiple groups usually for the sole purpose of harassing
others.

I have probably posted more in the last 2-3 months than I ever have
before but from now on I am going to try and limit my posting to keep
from getting flamed and personaly attacked by immature people who have
nothing better to do with their lives.

Will I be missed? I would gamble to say no. Do I care? Same answer.

I think I am rambling now, so I will take my leave and check in
tomorrow to see how many of the children have flamed me. Will I
respond? Maybe. But I'll try to keep my cool. See ya around .


RT did you really post the above?

Imagine that. Comming from the person that finds the best way to attack
someone is to say they do not have a CDL and you are trying that crap again.

The only one keeping that issue alive is YOU. Just as you are the only
one keeping this whole "flamer war" alive. Things would be great if
you'd just leave a group where you're not liked or wanted but you
won't. You have to stay and troll. You have to post a dozen or more
posts every single day just to annoy people.

All you have to do is admit you were wrong on December 30, 2003 and be done
with it, instead of throwing good money after bad.

I will admit nothing of the sort. I told you over and over again that
that one post has nothing to do with anything. You are unliked because
you are you: Roger Wittekind, a compulsive obsessive stalking, whining,
crybaby who lives in the past. Its YOU no one likes. It has nothing
to do with a post from Dec 25, 1893, or Jan 15th, 2001, or any fucking
date. Its YOU, dickhead, you and your constant, incessant crying about
what happened eons ago and who threw the first punch, and who did what
to you. Try shutting your fucking mouth and living in 2006 for a
change. Give up on Cheryl and the Rusk family because they hate your
freakin' guts. Give up on MTT because we hate your freakin' guts too.

If there was something I could have done to change your mind on December 30,
2003, I would have, but as you can see from the post you replied to, I had
already tried to point out that was someone else posting as "Rookie with 676
week" and you completely missed that fact.

see for yourself
http://mtt.JusticeGoneWild.com
then click on the place in red, also refered to as the "Poison Apple" on the
date 03-12-25. From there you can tell I tried to show posters it was a
third person posting, not me and not Richard, but from that thread people
like tscottme would think Richard and I were the same person and you know
what happened from there. If not, I'll be putting that on a page too. Yes,
tscottme will be labeled a "Thread Hijacker" for his part in this.

Here once again.

realitytrucker has helped turn MTT into, as one of "the originators of
m.t.t." calls it a "cesspool."

realitytrucker's problem started on December 30, 2003, when he read a post
by a practical joker and blamed me for it. Plus he didn't like a simple
opinion I stated on December 16, 2003 either.

The post that set realitytrucker off the deep end was by someone claiming to
have "676 weeks" of experience, yet he still thought it was me even after
this sequence of names that I used.

08/30/2003 "Still in School"

09/11/2003 "Still in School" Told people I was now Still in School with
CDL.

09/22/2003 "Still in School with CDL"

09/26/2003 "Still in School not" Posted "Graduated Today" Do you need
that name change explained?

12/07/2003 "Was in School OTR for 2 months" It was two months since my
first day was 10/06/2003

If the following weeks are not perfect. I was adding days off to the total
before I'd get in the truck again.

12/07/2003 "Rookie for 2 months now"
12/13/2003 "Rookie that has lasted 10 weeks"
12/13/2003 "Rookie after 10 weeks"
12/15/2003 "Rookie with 10.3 weeks"
12/24/2003 "Rookie with 12 weeks"

From the above sequence of name changes, that gave RT, my short name for
him, the right to say I would post as "Rookie with 676 weeks?" I don't
think so.

Why did he get so mad about an opinion I stated on December 16, 2003?

I think RT was just out to start a fight and had no idea I'd use the tricks
used against me. I can show how he has continually changed things to fit his
agenda. Like posting I have a CDL, then no CDL then CDL, then no CDL, just
like Dave Ruff did yesterday, where he tried to say "No CDL" to make it look
like that is why my MVR is clean. Oh god.

While RT's major *** didn't start immediately after his post on December
16, 2003, RT would certainly blow up easier, especially after seeing more
post where Dave Ruff puts me down for stupid stuff.

Then, after a while, realitytrucker would start posting malicious messages
calling me a "Lair and a Fraud" like this. The links can be found at
http://mtt.JusticeGoneWild.com

One of the things that helped RT out the most, was the same thing that
started this mess. The Supernews.SuperKook posting as me again, but the
next time, he would be using my exact name, exact e-mail address and exact
organization.

The way things are going, it looks like RT, will still be harassing me
because of what started by a single post, for 10 more years and then I will
be able to post with "676 weeks" in my name.

As a matter of fact, when we look back at other places where
misc.transport.trucking went south, RT was always there. Watching the ***
hit the fan and then he would post messages like "See what I did."

RT's only mission in life, and is easily verified by his post. It is to
harass the hell out of me with bull*** and lies, like trying to tell
posters I don't hold a CDL, just to try to get me to stop posting to m.t.t.
That is such a noble mission in life. Not.

My reply, as always is, if you stop your ***, I'll stop mine. Since he is
incapable of compromise, the *** on m.t.t. continues.
