  1. On looking for uk.rec.walking FAQ I discover it is hosted
    and supplied

    <[email hidden]>

    Who has waged a vendetta against one Angus Macmillan for
    some years. tinyurl.com2dovy

    He has now chosen to adapt a well respected usenet resource
    (The FAQ) into a tool where he can subscribe his own bias
    and subject innocent members of the public to his somewhat
    extremist views. Stephen Poley also tried the same tactics
    sometime ago with the bird watching group. He was [censored]
    slapped and forced to remove the defamatory, libelous
    material tinyurl.com326yr

    Powell himself has been backstabbing various users of these
    newsgroups for years and most have him kill filed, although
    not strictly necessary as the rat has seen he is not wanted
    and moved on.

    The FAQ is not the place for waging personal vendettas and
    discredits a very serious usenet resource.

    Therefore if the offensive and unqualified material is not
    removed within the next seven days Powell and the FAQ will
    be replaced with an appropriate FAQ and an ARA bias. What's
    good for the goose is good for the gander.

    This will have a serious effect on the groups concerned and
    you are all advised to vote powell out of order and the
    genuine FAQ reinstated.

    I do apologize in advance for any action that may be
    required, you must all agree and FAQ should at all times be
    impartial, honest and above reproach.

    his own website of lies, defamation and misdeeds, for which
    he will be dealt with in due course.

    7 days will be allowed to elapse henceforth.

    The offensive material discovered thus is at the
    following page.

    The Woodland Trust Rant Every few weeks this newsgroup
    receives "The Woodland Trust" posting from one Angus
    Macmillan. He makes a number of allegations regarding the
    Woodland Trust and spams it across a number of outdoor-
    related newsgroups in uk.rec.* These allegations have been
    refuted in an FAQ compiled by Colin Davidson that can be
    found on Stephen Poley's uk.rec.birdwatching FAQ site at:

    xs4all.nlangus.htm You are advised to
    read this and not bother responding to the original posting.

    Since I stopped donating money to CONservation hooligan
    charities Like the RSPB, Woodland Trust and all the other
    fat cat charities I am in the top 0.217% richest people in
    the world. There are 5,986,950,449 people poorer than me

    If you're really interested I am the 13,049,551 richest
    person in the world.

    And I'm keeping the bloody lot.

    So sue me.

    Newsgroup ettiquette

    1) Tell everyone the Trolls don't bother you.
    2) Say you've killfiled them, yet continue to respond.
    3) Tell other people off who repsond despite doing so
    yourself.
    4) Continually talk about Trolls while maintaining they're
    having no effect.
    5) Publicly post killfile rules so the Trolls know how to
    avoid them.
    6) Make lame legal threats and other barrel scraping
    manoeuvres when your abuse reports are ignored.
    7) Eat vast quantities of pies.
    8) Forget to brush your teeth for several decades.
    9) Help a demon.local poster with their email while
    secretly reading it.
    10) Pretend you're a hard [censored] when in fact you're as
    bent as a roundabout.
    11) Become the laughing stock of Usenet like Mabbet
    12) Die of old age
    13) Keep paying Dr Chartham his fees and hope one day you
    will have a penis the girls can see.

    and something about non RFC-compliant signatures (too long,

    Killfile on this string in the "Path: " header:

    !news.alt.net!

    That text is only used by the anonymous remailer he uses, so
    you're not likely to block any useful posts.

    Yes, but that is not being fair to Phillip Powell who has
    been a respected contributor to this ng for a long time and
    posts under his own name unlike the 2 soulmates of that pain-in-the-
    [censored] Angus who have just crawled out of the woodwork. Lb to
    a pinch of salt like Angus neither will have any real
    interest in walking. The only thing to do with such trolls
    is killfile them.

    Phillip Powell was the first person I "spoke" to on Usenet,
    to ask if mentioning my software on this group would be OK,
    that was several K posts ago :-)
