Quoted message said:So, Curt, are you okay with this? You think it's childish and idiotic of
me to object to TBR - who lives a half hour drive from me - from making
plans to seek me out with David? You still think he's funny?I suspect it was satire. Inappropriate, that is true, but satire
nonetheless.You get to feel laissez-faire about it. I don't.
Quoted message said:What you're doing,
imo, is jumping up on a soapbox while screaming "LOOKIT ME!"Or talking with my friends. Your call. (I suspect you're projecting.)
Quoted message said:Your kid is six years old and was invited to practice at a dojo in
your area? I read that somewhere in MFW and had to laugh.His father & two siblings go. He's been "invited" several times - by his
father, by the instructors who know our family, by his brother. "C'mon,
why don't you come, too?" That's an invitation. What's so
funny/strange/unbelievable about that? The dojo is an option - more so
for him than for most six-year-olds, I suspect.Quoted message said:But don't put on
your face of indignation and ask if I'm /okay with this/.You think this is all a game. It's not. This is a real life and I'm part
of a usenet commmunity. You think we're all silly voices playing in your
head for your amusement. That's the troll philosophy. I'm in a different
reality than you are.Quoted message said:If you're concerned about the continued safety of your child
(especially when you're aware that a so-called Well Known Troll lives
a mere half-hour drive from your home) then don't comment on your
child to a Usenet group.What an [censored]. Saying I'm not allowed to talk about my family if I
don't want them molested? Get a grip. It's NOT okay to threaten my
family. It's really not. Even if I give out personal information, it's
STILL not okay to threaten to harm a child. Even if you THINK IT MIGHT BE
SATIRE. It crosses a line that isn't okay to cross.
Ya know, it is very interesting to me that Curt is talking about how it is
OK for some ultimate creep to molest your children. And he is apparently
some kind of school teacher?? And he teaches grade school children??
Doesn't anybody think this is ultimately creepy and possibly dangerous?
It also points out how the trolls are dilgently trying to deny the use of
the newsgroup to others who want to have valid discussions.
