[Kind-a OT] On a certain denizen

Thread view: 
Joshua Cranmer - 29 Oct 2007 23:11 GMT
I would normally place this on the c.l.j.p, but I am placing it here
since I know that most people who read c.l.j.p also read c.l.j.h, and
that by placing this message here, I will save a fair amount of Usenet
traffic.

While I feel it is improper to initiate a discussion about someone
behind his or her back, I feel more strongly that it would be easier on
all to avoid the proper situation when the end outcome is already
foreshadowed to be grim.

Since the user in question--Twisted is the easiest of his (I am
presuming the gender to be male here, my apologies if this assumption is
incorrect) aliases to write--is so concerned about his apparent
reputation, I would like to know what people perceive him to be.

My personal perception is that he's an over-coddled man who simply can't
stand to be told that he is in error and is unable to take any criticism
whatsoever. I am also trying to decide whether or not I think he is
merely incapable of seeing himself as committing a crime for which he
denounces others, but I am not so sure that that same comment cannot be
said for all of us as well.

In addition, I could throw out any number of littler sins that I think
he is guilty of, but, to me, these are all problems we all have, just
taken to further levels than normal.

I would also like to know if I am merely imagining the irony of his
posts, like as follows:
(Daniel Pitts's post):
> No [sic] only that, but he'll snip every point you make and replace
it > with insult deleted.

> What an idiot.

(Twisted's reply):
> On Oct 26, 9:28 pm, Daniel Pitts
> <newsgroup.spamfil...@virtualinfinity.net> wrote:
> [insulting lie deleted]
>
> [Bowdlerized]. Yours is the lower IQ here buddy.

Note: I fully intend, if this works as I hope it will, to summarize
points of this thread and email them to Twisted himself in the hopes of
limiting unwanted elements to only one person and not the entirety of
Usenet.

I wish you hadn't, I've got an awful feeling that all this nonsense is now  
going to spill over into here.

Personally, I don't think it is constructive to debate with him.  He  
appears to view Usenet posting and debate differently from the rest of  
us.  Since debating him is futile, just ignore him. I don't see the point  
in deliberately provoking him for sport.

Dan.

You are wasting your and our time. Many have tried to talk some sense
into him. And they failed.
