In the last day or so, rfc has been 'hit' with a couple of posts which
didn't make any sense to most people but which were cross-posted to
rec.pets.cats.anecdotes. This is the result of a flame war being conducted
by people from rec.pets.cats.health+behav towards people in
rec.pets.cats.anecdotes for some imagined slight. Much name calling and
killfiling of the cross-posters ensued.

Now they've publicly admitted (via Google) they intend to flood this group
with their crap:

But you know, this could change. It may be time for it to change.
It is never good for people to get to proprietary over newsgroups.
One would not want the sweet people at anecdotes to truly believe
that they have a right to control the content of the group. That would
not be fair to them. It would only mean a ruder awakening later on.
There are, after all, anecdotes about cats in many groups. We
wouldn't want the rpca folks to miss any.

Another thought: when they post recipes, I think we should
share them with the cooking groups! We could make many
more people happy this way!


Spreading happiness is a good thing. I am feeling happier

Let's show them what "clique-y-ness" is all about! Killfile the trolls.
Please do not respond to the cross-posts. They are not interested in food
or food related questions, they just want to stir up a bunch more shit and
now drag this group into the mix. Grrrrrr.

OB Food: looks like it will probably rain. So I'm going to dredge the fish
lightly in Zatarain's fish-fry seasoning and pan-fry it. The seasoning is
lighter than cornmeal (more like a masa meal) and lightly spicy.

All of our posts have been on-topic, Jill. When you post about cooking
in rpca, why not bring in the rec.cooking people? What is the harm?

Mary,

It would be better to not include rpca when you post recipes to rfc.
One problem is that when you cross-post, the replies go to both groups
unless the responders pay attention to where the posts are going. I
don't like it when I find out that my post has gone somewhere I didn't
intend because someone has cross-posted without notifiying people.
Despite the fact that my furry "people" run the show around here, I
don't have the inclination to participate in cat newsgroups.

Thread drift often occurs and it's bad enough when it happens to one
group but there is no need to multiply it by including other groups.

Cross-posting is done only for the convenience of the poster, to
enable him/her to monitor the subject without having to check each
group individually. But it's not beneficial to anyone else.

If someone really wants to get responses from multiple groups, you can
send the posts to the various groups individually (i.e., separate
messages), which takes about a minute to do, then monitor the
responses in each group.

Like I did here ;>

I'm aware of the problems of cross-posting, and yes, it's a pain in the
neck.

Most modern newsreaders have some option to "Kill Articles Cross-
posted" I've set up my newsreader (XNews) in this fashion and only see
articles posted directly to r.f.c.

That's all I have to say about that.

Either there is very little or I've learned who not to pay attention
to. I don't kill crossposts, but my news reader (Agent) has a warning
popup when a post is crossposted that gives me the option to reply to
the group I'm reading or to all. If I choose "all", I can still trim
the ngs, so I'm not stuck.

Piggy-backing on Curly Sue's post (sorry CS!):

Mary, you think calling people mud-slinging across newsgroups is "on topic"?
I don't care if it *was* about a cat. It was hugely inappropriate and
childish behavior. We post recipes to distract attention from the trollish
topic. I'm quite sure most of the good folks here have already read the
recipes I've posted over there so I have no need to cross-post them. You,
on the other hand, are just stirring things up on as many groups as you can.

It's simple enough. Filter (kf) those articles or participants that do
not add anything to the 'group. If/when one replies to a post by adding
the multiple 'groups back in, simply trim them back out -- again. It's
not that big deal...

By giving them this private platform, you're defeating the very ideals
you are preaching by enhance their already-pitiful egos while giving
them even more reasons to continue their game.

RFC is easily able to withstand this insignificant onslaught from such
amateurish buffoons as Mary, Trish and Candace. I know RPCA and RPCH+B
will both survive this latest eternal September.

Hey Ranger, take your head out of the oven, and pay attention!

You make this response based on a post Jill sends without any knowledge of
what any of this is about. Now show me where I have messed with you, and
then show me what right you have to post a post with my name in it regarding
something you know jackshit about. I crossposted once by accident to
rec.food.cooking, yet you call me a buffoon, but were too gutless to do it
where I could read it.

I subscribed here tonight to see if what Jill declared is true, so far I see
it isn't. Then I saw your post... so tell me what have I done to you that
you have the right to call me a buffoon?

And Jill I'm talking to Ranger not you...

"Ranger" is one of those mission posters. You know, protectors of
all things rec.cooking, or rec.pets.cats.anecdotes. Very amusing,
and part of the group psychosis that develops when regular posters
decide they MUST ... PROTECT ... THE GROUP ... FROM
OUTSIDERS. Note the language. "RC can survive!! It can!"

Do you like to cook, Trish? Or does the forensic stuff put you
off it?

They might have some good cat recipes to share with us.

I have an idea... why not flood them with recipes???

LOL! 2 can play this game. We can flood them until they cry UNCLE.

Nothing happened except that I read an article about data recovery
services and they gave statistics on how many people don't back up
their drives. Which reminded me to do so, so I thought I'd pass along
the thought!

I have a better idea, we take recipes and substitute the meat in the
recipe with cat meat, and flood their group with recipes using cat
meat, like cat burgers and fried cat and cat kabobs. I think they
would get the point pretty quickly. BTW I have a cat and would never
use her in a recipe.

As though they could in the first place. What's your point?

You do what you like, dear. Once I learned to use the mouse I found
that scrolling past the nonsense solved nearly all usenet problems.

The mouse is an amazing tool, isn't it?

You've conveniently snipped out things to make it appear everything quoted
originated with *me* which is not the case. If you read my original post,
you can see where some people purposely decided to cross-post to rfc just to
stir up some crap. It's their "conspiracy", not mine. I've got them
killfiled but people here can't seem to trim the cross-postings and continue
to reply to them across multiple groups. *That* is why I posted this in the
first place.

There is no conspiracy outside your own head, Jill. These are unmoderated
groups, and I post on-topic and very cordially. Moreover, Bellsouth does
not yank accounts according to who you like and dislike.

'Ignore thread' is a powerful weapon... ditto killfiles. All the
idiots on rpca were quickly identified and deleted from my machine so
I don't have to worry about them. If they want to do the same thing
here, I'll just add a few more filters!

Because Jill is the one who is harassing me. And she does indeed
report everyone she does not like to their ISP, and gets all
of her little rpca friends to do so too.

Jill is a censor and a bully.
