You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.

~Robin Williams
 
you should be able
to open the posters
message, right click
on the name and
select block sender.
 
Ignore him, as he should be ignoring the 'perse cution'. The fact that we
can't block him, is the same truth in his own case. If we could prove who he
is, we could block him, and if he could prove 'perse cution', he could too.

exist without a safe place from which to operate"

The bum seems to have gone away for about 36 hours. I wonder if
the server has found a way to kill him?

Yes, and I suppose "The Art of War", wasn't written by Sun-tzu, either. Mao
was great on revisionist history.
 
yes, if the poster is using
varying logins, then he/she/it
probably got the idea from stargate
or something where the bad
guys alter their frequency
to avoid being disintegrated.

creating a "new rule"
to delete newsgroup
messages when the subject
line contains M'I'5 would be
another weapon.

There was a lot of work done to define 'spam' and the tools created were
pretty comprehensive. Unfortunately, making the tools available opened the
maker up to lawsuits by the advertizing industry. There was the 'blue
mountain' scandal, and others. If you are going to allow 'free speech', then
someone gets to yell 'FIRE' in a crowded theater full of panicky people.

My take on it was always that it was really a 'control' issue. "You Can't
Say That To Me", Well, .... Yes I can. The difference is that I can always
yell "There Is NO Fire!!!" ( Admittedly, sometimes people die when this
policy is in effect, but my perception of it is that forbidding free speech
results in Far Worse results. (Taliban, Fascists, "Kings" and so on )
 
yes, free speech makes
for a better world.

respectively, yelling fire in
a theatre is not protected free
speech and is a punishable crime.

to me if someone is ranting
and spewing free speech upon
others who cannot get away,
then a swift kick in the gonads
will protect everyone's else's
rights.

Don't know how you would go about it in OE, but I use Thunderbird and
it's easy to go into Profile/news/news/messageFilterRules.dat and add
the filter:

version="8"
logging="no"
name="Delete unwanted NG msgs"
enabled="yes"
type="4"
action="Mark read"
action="Ignore thread"
condition="OR (subject,contains,CMSG Cancel) OR (subject,contains,M.I)
OR (subject,contains,M,I) OR (subject,contains,M-I) OR
(subject,contains,M`I) OR (subject,contains,M'I) OR (subject,contains,M I)"

This is effective for all newsgroups, but putting it in that folder,
it's only needed one time -- at least as far as I know -- I did it a few
days ago and now can't see any of his old stuff and nothing new has
turned up in a few days. (The CMSG also hides the msgs which are
inserted when a newsgroup cancels the msg.) These group of subjects
should work for awhile since that's all he's been using for some time.
Who knows, perhaps he'll turn up with something new to add!

If your newsreader program can do regular expressions,
set the subject filter to ignore:

^M[,-`' \.]?I[,-`' \.]?5[,-`' \.]?P[,-`' \.]?

to also ignore people's responses, add:

^Re: M[,-`' \.]?I[,-`' \.]?5[,-`' \.]?P[,-`' \.]?

Note that this only filters out subjects that start with
things like M.I`5'P, not ones that have these strings
elsewhere than at the beginning.
Remove the ^ at the beginning to match the string anywhere.
(If I had done this, I would not have seen your post).

Too bad this is not true today of the endangered mountain *gorillas*,
surrounded as they are by the *guerrillas* who find their habitat a
safer place to lurk.

Very sorry to say that Thunderbird does not do regular expressions.

I use Thunderbird for mail (which it does very well), but do not
consider it to be useful for newsgroups. The same with Outlook Express -
it does mail okay, but that's about it. Windows Live Mail has pretty
much replaced OE, but I've never tried it for newsgroups.

For Xnews, the following 2 lines in the score file do the trick for me:
Score: -9999
Subject: ^(Re: )?M[,-`' \.]?I[,-`' \.]?5[,-`' \.]?P[,-`' \.]?
