If someone is sensitive to what these trolls and spammers say about
them, then Usenet might not be a good place for them.

But that was the very point. As a business owner, why stick around when
someone repeatedly lies about you? (Last straw IIRC was Flogger saying that
Mark favors torture or something like that.) End result is that two or more
CYCLING newsgroups lost a valuable contributor...and even the off-topic
political crap is diminished because a knowledgable participant has been
shut up not with counter-argument but with flat-out character assassination.
Repeatedly.

The neocon crap _was_ rather out of place in a bicycling newsgroup. A
Rainbow coalition member spewing similar garbage on the other side of
the political spectrum would be equally off-topic.

I don't recall Mark EVER starting a political thread or even subthread. His
sin was daring to REPLY to the neoliberal (should be a word) crap posted by
MANY others. Brandt can post a blatantly biased political link -- not even
designating it "OT" -- and no one dares speak up. Yet he flames others for
posting ride reports in the "wrong" cycling ng.

Bullies and hypocrits. Bullies and hypocrits.
