  1. It amazes me how many people start new threads even though there's at
    least one on the same subject that's been going for a while.
    Folks; Reading is Fundamental to good discussion.

    Dear Mr. Teacher,

    Newsgroup servers often take a few hours to update from one another.
    It's possible that there were no similar threads on the posters' news
    servers when the messages that have offended you were posted.

    Policing Usenet is like trying to hug jello - just not worth the effort.

    Do you understand how Usenet works? If you did then you'd understand why
    multiple people might start similar threads over (at least) short time
    periods (say, 24 hours).

    More discrimination against fat people. I trust rbr fatties are not
    psychologically fragile.

    From wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphor:
    "In language, a metaphor is a rhetorical trope where a comparison is made
    between two seemingly unrelated subjects. Typically, a first object is
    described as being a second object. In this way, the first object can be
    economically described because implicit and explicit attributes from the
    second object can be used to fill in the description of the first."

    trying to hug jello = metaphor for trying to hug fat people.

    Correct.

    5'7" 148lbs.

    Was a little fat at 175lbs a couple years ago.

    Trying to hug jello is in no way a metaphor for trying to hug fat
    people.

    First of all, it's not a metaphor. It's a simile. A metaphor is an
    equation where a simile is an approximation.

    Secondly, 'trying to hug jello' refers to something difficult to do.
    The jello is hard to hold onto, as the harder you squeeze the more the
    jello slips out around your arms. That has nothing to do with fat
    people. Jello is fun and tasty, not anything gross that could rudely
    be equated to fat people.

    You are being oversensitive and miscontruing the meaning. Which leads
    me to believe that you sir, are fat.

    But I will not refer to you as fatass. Just dumbass.

    You do seem to have a lot of experience with full body contact and
    Jello. You aren't in any of these, are you?

    I'm afraid I only qualify as a rbr fatty master on the master count.
    1.8m (that 0.008948 furlongs or 5.906 feet or 5 ft 10.87 inches in your
    units) and 68Kg (10.71 stone or 149.9 pounds) = bmi of 21.
