There's no problem if you use your kill filters.  And there he was, gone
for ever.
And a Prosperous and Peaceful New Year to everyone on this NG.  And that
includes Andy Mabbett.

That is true, so why do all these people who constantly tell us they dislike 
Andy persist in what seems like persecution when all they need to do is 
"Blocked Senders List" him to never see any of his posts again? It doesn't 
make sense.

Personally I've never found cause to dislike Andy, quite the opposite in 
fact (but then I do try to stick to Usenet conventions).  :-)

His posts here are on topic and usually information which you may or may not 
find useful.
Nothing to get up-tight about.

Erm, actually, I thought he meant you.

After reading all the discussion about Andy Mabbett I have to ask what
is the problem? In my 12 years of reading various usenet groups I
can't remember anything offensive from Mr Mabbett. What did he do?

Andy doesn't like people that flaught the conventions of Usenet and he used 
to tell them so and where they were going wrong, being the sort of people 
they are they objected to his comments. They act like children then get 
upset when someone treats them like children, usual story.

I know, years ago, he upset a self confessed Freemason on another Ng who 
said he would get Andy, later even boasting that through Fm contacts he had 
got Andy the sack from his job. (Nice people these modern freemasons!!! My 
uncle would turn in his grave if he knew).
It wasn't actually true though.
What he and his friends did do was hound Andy off that group which was a 
shame as he was an interested and interesting contributor.

I assume the mason you are referring to is Mike Crowe? Mr Crowe detests
being corrected, slighted, lectured, hectored or patronised, witness his
continuing feud with the 'owners' of  uk. rec.gardening. IIRC, Andy's
'net-nanny' opprobrium wasn't limited to Mike Crowe and his associates,
though, he had an unfortunate knack of upsetting a wide range of people. No
doubt he meant well, but I don't think diplomacy was his forte.

Yes, Mr Rumrat himself Mike Crowe from the Isle of Wight, the super 
successful businessman, land dealer, reunion organiser, Park Maker, etc etc, 
as he keeps telling us, and with an ego that big you can imagine his 
reaction to being rightly corrected.
Yes, Andy's diplomacy was suspect on occasion but then things can read 
differently to what is meant depending on the view of the reader, but I 
don't remember him ever being wrong or threatening anyone personally. 
(except rightly reporting abuse to ISPs)

Most people tend to have a negative reaction to being corrected, and a lot 
puff up and blast off before thinking about it and accepting they are at 
fault, yet others are never wrong which brings us back to Mr C.

As for Mr.C's feud with URG regulars, he is a self confessed Troll on that 
group so what should he expect?

I don't recall him making personal threats, either. As for him perhaps
having been 'wrong', on occasion, that rather depends on one's views on
pedantry (or pedanticism!), I think.

I suspect he would be disappointed if they did not rise to his bait. And he
does give Janet and Co ample opportunities to perfect their magisterial
put-down techniques, so perhaps they should be grateful :-)

Nothing wrong in all the years I have been on this newsgroup.
