  1. Readership,

    Google Groups appropriate use policy stipulates that one will not:

    1. defame, abuse, harass or threaten
    2. post defamatory, obscene, or unlawful content
    3. impersonate another person or entity

    Ed Gin regularly violates all of the above mandates. This is
    understandable because sociopaths do not consider themselves subject to
    or confined by the dictates of rules, regulations or laws.

    The unfortunate thing about an unmoderated newsgroup is that it is
    unmoderated and this affords narcissistic cretins, like Ed Gin, a place
    to reside as contaminating squatter who permanently infects the
    newsgroup and persists in its pollution with worthless, inane [censored]
    posted with impunity in total disregard of the membership and in
    callous contradiction of the intended focus of a particular group. The
    fortunate thing about a moderated forum is the that it is moderated and
    as such can be purged of obnoxious, degenerate vermin like Ed Gin as
    well he knows from firsthand experience. Is it any wonder then that Ed
    Gin hangs out in forums of the unmoderated variety?

    Yes, but most of the recent posts appear to come from a
    newsfeeds.com subscriber and are not posted through Google.
    However, newsfeeds.com has similar terms of use for its nntp
    service.

    Complain to [email hidden]. As a person impersonated
    by one of their subscribers you have a good case. In Google
    message view, click on Options,-- Show Original and cut and
    paste the entire USENET message, headers and all, into an
    email. Prepend with the nature of your complaint.

    It remains to be seen if newsfeeds.com will live up to their terms
    of use.

  3. I must confess that in the past I Jim McNamara have posted lies with fake
    e-mail addresses on USEnet, A.R.B.R and the HPVlist to name a few. I have
    done so to entertain my nasty inner demons.

    I Jim McNamara will always tell lies on the internet. My goal in life is
    to seek revenge on Ed Gin and only Ed Gin. I am consumed with Ed Gin and
    have nothing else to dwell upon except Ed Gin. I will never give up. The
    reason is I Jim McNamara am pathetic and have nothing else to do in my
    retirement years. I may as well fulfill my evil frustrated fantasies with
    vicious internet attacks against Ed Gin none of which are true.

    I Jim McNamara am a living example of what a frustrated old man can
    become. Please forgive me A.R.B.R. for I am a foul and nasty beast and my
    soul will be purged to the deepest bowels of hell when I die. God help me.

  4. Ed Gin,

    I said this before, but I can't seem to get through that thick skull of
    yours. Unlike you, I don't lie about you. There is simply a
    cornucopia of truth about you that provides me more than enough
    ammunition, so as not to have to resort to lies. When I say something
    in public, I am prepared to back up what I say with evidence and that
    is specifically why you don't dare challenge what I have to say about
    you. I don't know why you bother to say anything in public anymore.
    You have no credibility and when challenged to produce evidence to
    support your assertions, you don't because you can't. Instead, you
    just change the subject. You shift gears and move on to spout off some
    diversionary [censored]. Don't think for a minute that the readership
    isn't on to you by now. They are. So tell me lunatic, do you believe
    for even an instant that anyone out here believes that actually write
    this sort of [censored] about myself? You continue to mention Ed Dolan and
    meds (you used to do that to me in previous flame wars). It appears
    that you are the delusional one in need of meds. By the way, I now
    know why you cut and paste so much, because your English is pathetic ..
    atrocious ... abominable. Less time on the bike and more time in the
    classroom would have done you a world of good, but a man's gotta do
    what a man's gotta do. You value SPEED and MILES more that you do
    literacy and trust me it shows, but that's OK. You're entitled to
    your warped perspective. That's one of your endearing qualities. I
    hate to see a grown man cry. Woops did I say you were a grown man? I
    take it all back. Quit crying about being picked on, will you? You
    asked for it ... you've earned it ... you deserve it, so who am I to
    deprive you? What can I say? You are, of course, the hapless victim
    here, because ... I'm just fond of squirrels!

    Jim McNamara (the real one)

  5. While looking at the present state of ARBR I was remembering the answer to a guestion I had asked a Cambodian.What do you think was the rational behind the people who did such awful things in your country?He told me if those dumb monkeys saw a sofisticated piece of machinery they would smash it and then melt it down so that they would then be able to forge the new metal into a pot to cook rice in.

    Bravo Guy!

    Also, please note that I have never done any of those 3 things listed above.
    I am merely contentious - and that is all I have ever been. I love to argue
    but I require others that love to argue back.

    Where is Tom Sherman on all of this - that is the question?

    Nonsense! Calling an idiot an idiot is just being truthful and helpful. I
    have never defamed, harassed or threatened. I also have never been obscene
    or unlawful in my messages. On the other hand, Guy Chapman has been forever

    The fact remains that we could all easily be doing what Ed Gin does. But

    I am convinced you are using the word (intransitive verb) improperly. I have

    of how words are to be used based on a life time of reading. Your usage,
    even if correct, is rare and most likely obsolete to say the least.

    What I would really like to get my hands on is the Oxford English Dictionary
    (OED), but my local library does not have brains enough to keep a valuable
    resource like that available. They think such a resource is only for
    scholars, never realizing they have a genius like me living in their midst.

    No, you have used the language improperly, of that I am convinced. If you

    matter. I can't think of anything that is more important, at least not at
