I HAVE KILLED HIM! Now I don't know why I must read all the insults he
addresses to me. Perhaps do you agree with him? If yes , tell me, because
in my killfile there is a lot of space.
Pandora
(very angry).

Pandora I'm really sorry something this negative happened to you on this
group. I love your posts! I don't understand the nastinest or unhelpful
comments or sniping some feel compelled to make but then I just don't have
the time or energy to expend on such nonsense. Personally I simply refuse
to let another poster get to me because it gives them power and I will not
do that. I either quietly killfile or ignore. Sometimes I will give a
very subtle hint but that's it. I won't announce either because again it
gives them power.

I Am angry because I have killed him and I must read his posts with insults!
Only this!

PS. sending you a hot cup of cocoa and vanilla cookie straws. The cookie
straws are bought not homemade. DH brought them home and they are very,
very good! They are about 8" long made of a very thin crispy cookie then
filled with French vanilla cream. They will really make you feel good 🙂

Thank you! I appreciate cocoa and vanilla. I like them!
I try to ignore what happened.

See if your newsreader will enable you to killfile messages which
contain a particular word or phrase.

If it doesn't, I recommend the freeware newsreader Xananews.

This is a good idea! Many thank you!

Did I not get some messages here? I'm not sure what the problem is from.
But I can certainly understand you being upset if you were insulted, it's
easy to say *don't worry* or *just forget about it*, but it can still
really hurt. I had a similar problem in another newsgroup where there
were some really nasty, rude people. I was so shocked and hurt, I even
cried and had trouble sleeping. My husband of course said not to worry,
they don't even know you. But I had a terrible time with it. I don't
even look in that newsgroup anymore.

I understand you. Some things shouldn't happen!

Quoted message said:

Just killfile that person, and try not to let it get to you. I think
you'll find that most people here have no reason to insult you, and we'd
all like to keep you here.

Thank you. I will try.

I hope you will see this, you don't seem to be getting any of my
posts. I know it's hard, but you must ignore people who say such
ridiculous and crude things that, quite understandably, upset you so.
Your posts here are valued by so many of us. Remember, dear, don't
roll in the mud with pigs, you just get dirty and the pigs enjoy it
;-)

Be well, and continue to post,

She claims to have killfiled him already, so it shouldn't hurt much
longer -- unless you all keep stroking her.

It's comments like that that are obviously upsetting her. There's just no
need to say things like that.

I once got to the stage where Sheldon upset me too. It wasn't so much
his occasional (well often) offensive posts, but his insistence that
you had to quote sources and his expectation you should be an expert
on whatever you stated. As someone else pointed out, most of his
expert statements are the result of Internet searches. I don't want to
justify every opinion I give. It is an opinion. It may be wrong, but
it's my experience. I am not an expert, except for many years of
interest in cookery and experimentation. So until recently, I
disappeared from this newsgroup too.

But some years ago Sheldon himself disappeared. I think he was very
sick, and I found myself worrying about him, and hoping he was okay.
After some time he reappeared as though nothing was wrong. I actually
found myself missing him.

Here's some advice, Pandora, I find hard to follow myself.

You're anonymous here. Some people will like you, others won't. Don't
take it personally.

Well! I don't think Skeletron is an expert. I read things wrote by him that
are completely wrong, but I didn't said anything, nor I offended him for
this. Very often Internet *is not* a good source. And I don't think
Skeletron could teach me italian cooking. Perahps he could teach me how to
light a barbecue or how to eat an hot dog.
I'm sorry that I've killed him, because I could demonstrate everybody he
understands very few things of good cooking. Recipes need to be tried not
only read, like he does!

Note when I continued the thread, I erased all of the insulting part as

Don't be angry, just blow it off like everyone else does, or come up

That usually works best and is an exercise in creative posting.

Just consider the source, a petty little Nancyboy with a bad case of
cyberTourettes. I haven't bothered to filter him because it is so much more
fun to watch him make an ass of himself with his false claims, base don his
experience as a gourmet navy cook (which means he didn't qualify for other
trades in the Navy). The only time he posts anything with any accuracy to it is
when cuts and pastes. I would suggest that if you want to be indignant about
something that is posted to or about you in this group, you save it for someone
with enough respectability that it should mean something, not on a worthless
little goof like him.
