Have you played this guy's game?

Have you been victimized by this witty, cretin idiot
anywhere on
Usenet? ( "John Griffin" <thathillbilly@xxxxxxxxxxx> ) from
the Seattle, Washington area?

"John Griffin" <thathillbilly@xxxxxxxxxxx> , a brilliant
TROLL and
character assassin, uses a phoney ID and web addy to avoid
detection on Usenet. He appears to have become a criminal
fugitive from justice, but that
concept yet remains to be proven. Should we hunt him down and
turn him in, or just drown him?

...Please bear with us and read onward...

ya know what jack? right is right...and this ain't right. such
a message needs to be far shorter...concise and to the point.
i strongly suggest that you NOT cross-post this or you run a
high risk of pissing off a lot of people. rgl doesn't deserve
to be "torched" as you say. it deserves to be saved.

i would suggest composing a single paragraph that summarizes
the common complaints of usenet abuse that griffin is guilty
of. include the links of his posting history as supplied in
the google archives. ask people who are fed up with this
abusive wingnut to copy and paste the body of your message as
a form of petition and send it in an email addressed to

abuse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

subject: complaint. you can check out his news provider at
their website where you can find their policy statements and
faq.

btw...skip most of the groups that are under the "alt."
hierarchy. they are pretty much free-for-all junk newsgroups
that nobody really gives a *** about. that's why he's in so
many of them. concentrate on the ones where he's most active.

The one, not the ones. I've posted no more than half a dozen
messages in groups other than this one in the last four or five
months.

post your message <<individually>> to just a few or several of
the legitimate groups where he has been most active. his
provider claims to act on every complaint within 24 hours.
usually by cancelling the offending account without further
notice. i would think even a dozen or so such emails could do
the trick. however, we can be sure that the prick would be
back with a new account somewhere within a few days.

you're free to do whatever you want but try to be prudent
about it instead of going off half-cocked.

No one is chicken*** enough to ask an ISP or news server biz to
fight their battles these days. Even you have shown signs of
deluding yourself that you can fight your own.

Try to imagine how much trouble I'd have finding another carrier.

Note for Jack: Don't forget to include your "***-dribbling"
line in your complaint. You do want to calibrate the credibility
meter, you know.

Note for "Voodoo Child (slight retard)": Same thing. Choose your
most-used tantrum.
