Under _this_ alias, you mean....

Please, try reading what I wrote. "real-world business" means that
people have sent him money for goods, and received the goods. That's
difficult to do if "Gerald Stubbs" is an alias.
Just because he is usually a nice guy here, doesn't mean that
he doesn't troll elsewhere. Or even here under other aliases.

That's one of those beautifully slimy claims that can be neither proved
nor disproved. One might as easily make the same accusation about you.
Not that it matters, because your own words condemn you. You expose
yourself as a turd on the bootsole of Usenet.

Hmmm....

Lets see...

Several content-free posts,

nearly everything in them surmised, and in fact wrong.

Described by other posters as 'lacking a clue', which is supported by
the evidence. Could be a particularly clueless troll as a consequence.

yes, a lot to be said for the killfile.

Hmmm, midsummer approaches, more to come!

NB Don't forget the cured smoked ham.
I am willing to go
bail on the fact that he is a real person

and buy his book of reminiscences?

I would like to add:

That's the sort of name that trolls choose to make one
sockpuppet look different from their other ones.

Normal Usenet citizens would be content with "Gerald Stubbs",
because there isn't likely to be another one on the Usenet.

Truth is not decided by who's side your're on, or whom you like or

doesn't mean they should be falsely accused without proof. Such behavior
may seem like a means to an end, but it's not.

I agree.

No. I just liked his font style.

Don't bottom post. It disassociates text with the header identifying the
poster.

Don't top post. It doesn't make sense in terms of what you're replying to.

Gerald Stubbs is definitely real and definitely a gentleman. Perhaps he
said something you didn't agree with, or are you simply basing your
misguided judgement on the way he signs his posts?

I see you do not use a valid email address to back your identity. Without
exception, all trolls do this. Using your logic, you must be a troll. I
also see that you, yourself, say you are wasting your time by posting this
kind of drivel on your silly little website. Additionally, I see you are
from the US and people like you are the reason most of the world has a bad
opinion of Americans. You embarrass me.

It's stranger than that. He uses his killfile to purposely refrain
from downloading message bodies for people he's pretending to ignore,
("Yeah, that'll show them, they'll be writhing in agony over that!"),
and then (since he's not reading their messages) responds to their
postings by (incorrectly) dissecting thier Usenet headers in
excruciating detail.

Definitely needs to tune his meds.

Jeez, I thought I had seen all kooky behaviour on the net!

Absolutely.

I think he and pete should be locked up on the same newsgroup,
that would produce some really clinical pathogenic behaviour.

Indeed. Although to be fair, they are related groups and
he

he????? You mean *you*.
did limit the number to three, which is good Netiquette.

It also happens to be the only groups to which Stubbsy has recently posted.
Troll like behavour from you.
It's just that the thread is an obvious troll thread. And there
is a whole 'nother subthread posted to a mostly different set of
groups.

As you know very well Stubbsy has only posted to the above three groups in
the recent past so any subthread "posted to a mostly different set of
groups" is nothing to do with him. In any event, the vast majority of his
posts are to UBA.
Skilled trolls know that many people kill crossposts to more
than 3 groups. I do.

You *are* a troll then. Stubbsy normally posts to only a single group.
Under _this_ alias, you mean....

Please cite any other aliases used by Stubbsy.
Ibid.

That "X-No-Archive: yes" header is something that only
trolls use (with very few exceptions that don't apply here).

That is complete bullsh**, as you very well know.
If his articles have value, then they should be preserved in
the Archives.

To have them deleted is extremely selfish and contrary to
the spirit of the Usenet.

Why should that be? If anyone is sufficiently interested they can save the
posts. In fact I have saved some of Stubbsy's posts.
He is either a troll or someone up to something immoral that
causes him to take pains to cover his tracks.

Evidence! There is no covering of tracks, he even posts his contact
information, no troll does that.
Just because he is usually a nice guy here, doesn't mean that
he doesn't troll elsewhere. Or even here under other aliases.

Please cite any other aliases used by Stubbsy.
Given his commercial inclinations, obvious computer-networking
knowhow and troll-like behavior, I wouldn't be surprised if he
was a mail and/or Usenet spammer too.
Evidence!

Most trolls have "nice guy" aliases that they use when they
want help from people (or just conversation) that they may
well abuse under different aliases.

I expect you are correct in this, is that from personal experience?.
That's why it's important to kill or gagfile anyone who is
behaving like a troll.

So, if you consider Stubbsy is a troll, why haven't you killfiled him?

<AOL>

You also have a very convoluted method of making e-mail contact that allows
you to not see any e-mails you do not wish to see.

Do you by any chance also post under either or both the aliases Pat Gardiner
or Burkie?

Since he has made you stick your head above the parapet he must have some
(very slight) redeeming features.

I had forgotten about Pete, he has been quiet recently. Is this perhaps his
reincarnation? More likely than PG or Burkie.

No one is all bad. Was it Jack Benny who said something along the lines
that any man who hated children and animals could not be all bad ?
