Back in the day, rec.travel.cruises had over 500 posts a day. It was
invaded by 3 or 4 jerks and the regulars split... then so did everyone
else. We had a Yahoo group for a while... but now most of us are on the
Facebook group Rec.Travel.Cruises Refugees. It is not a moderated
group, but it is private so you do have to be approved for membership by
one of the moderators.

It is amazing how well people get along when you ban anonymous posters
and hold people responsible for their behavior.

Well, she still has you commenting on just about every post to her and about
her, so what does that really say about you, oh disgusted one? It says that
she has you, not me, because I've never said I don't like Julie or that she
disgusts me like you have said many times. I mostly enjoy her posts, much
more than some here.

Or better yet, if you don't like moderated groups, don't join in the first
place so there's no need to click a button.

Huh he really got THAT wrong! Have you noticed that it is those that say

Guess you weren't around then. She and her husband had opsys status in
the chat room. If they decided they didn't like someone, kick, kick,
ban. It was ridiculous. Her husband was even more ridiculous because
he mostly just lurked but he'd kick people out because Damsel didn't
like them. She flip flopped just like Andy did, personality wise. At
least Andy never asked me to loan him money...

Big Bang Theory is such a funny show, you can recognize the cast members
from people you know, in real life, although they do not recognize
themselves.

That's the way it was with our group at college - there were three of us
geeks and one tall blonde dish. I've wondered about how that came to be
but I still don't have a clue. Somehow, I think groups like that are
common. The dynamics of it just works.

Used to be you had to jump through hoops to turn off those
notifications. Get it set the way you wanted, then they'd do an update
and all the settings would revert back. Suddenly here came all the
email notifications again. It was extremely irritating. I finally
deleted the account. They made that difficult to do, too.

I was booted from Facebook the second I signed on, before I posted
anything. I have no use for those disingenuous frauds, making believe
they know how to cook... those are all the losers who couldn't hold
their own at rfc.

Actually, AIUI, the account is sort of dormant. The second you log on
with your old password etc, it will be as if you hadn't left.

When I joined, I knew nothing of those "on-off switches".

Invasive is the perfect word. You'll find people who will say just
set up a free unused email account for FB. IMHO, that should not be
necessary.

Don't feel bad, they hid them very well. They didn't want you to know
how to delete (vs. deactivate) your account, either. You really had to
hunt for it.

True, Barbara, but I like to think that it's almost always deserved,
and as much as Blake and I tangled, I would never have dreamed of
calling him, "No-Legs." I defended Stu when Terwilliger called him a
pedophile. Kuthe is a special case, because he is a former friend who
turned on me, but you notice that I never initiate the hostility. I'm
also sometimes pretty abusive to folks who claim to have me killfiled.
Julie? She begs for it too, besides, she's the poster girl for eugenics.
Sheldon? He deserves even worse, but he's tough as nails anyway.
Jill picks fights with me too, and I respond.

Andy calling Blake "No-Legs" was the cheapest, nastiest thing ever on
this NG. Blake was an asshole sometimes, as we all are on occasion,
but that crossed a line. Nothing that Blake wrote justified Andy's
No-Legs bullshit, which lasted for almost two years, and only ended
when Blake died. I treated Blake as a whole person, with no regard to
his missing body parts, as did everyone else here, other than Andy.

To Hell with Andy, and Kuthe too, and may their graves, if not their
coffins, be dishonored with bottles of Heinz Chili Sauce.

It's been a while but I remember there were two options. Deactivate
account and Delete account. They made Delete account very hard to find.
Program wise they are probably the same thing. I won't be signing in
to find out.

Read the webpage Bryan (as if you haven't)

"At the same time, you have trouble handling anything that may be
perceived as criticism. You may have secret feelings of insecurity,
shame, vulnerability and humiliation. To feel better, you may react
with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make
yourself appear superior. Or you may feel depressed and moody because
you fall short of perfection."

I don't understand Korean, but I not believe that your post is an accurate
