A Bizarre Increase in the Ad Hominems Here

Must be the Ides of September, but there are several bizarre new attacks lately on this list, none of them to the point, just odd ad hominems: * Detweiler (vznuri@netcom.com) writes: "timmy waxes a widdle on AP" * Millie (pstira@escape.com) writes: "Timmy boy, I yelled at someone for this last week. And you supported my view. Never read Ayn Rand, eh?" (Sadly, a large fraction of the women who have posted on our list have written in this same kind of incoherent, rambling, makes-no-sense kind of style. I have no idea why the percentage of such events is so high.) * And of course Vulis has been posting his "farting" messages far and wide. Those who legitimately disagree with my arguments should of course continue to speak up. But those who confuse calling me "Timmy" with making substantive arguments need to go back to school. We got computers, we're tapping phone lines, I know that that ain't allowed. ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

Detweiler is much smarter than VZNuri (or Timmy). I don't think Timmy believes his own lies.

Is Timmy gay? Why does he hate women so much?

Recently, 3 people in the computer security field have independently told me that Timmy May approached them "off-list" to complain about things I supposedly say on the Internet - most of which I never said. When I asked about it on this mailing list, Timmy posted what was shown to be a lie (about his complaint to Kelly Goen.) Timmy is known as a nutcase and a liar - if he keeps up his "character assassination" attacks, the only reputation he hurts is his own. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

Fuckhead.
If you think someone's a fuckhead, please just put them in your KILL file and get on with your life. You don't need to announce your discovery to the rest of the group- we either agree with you (and have killifiled the fuckhead) or we don't agree that he's a fuckhead. Your announcement will sway no one's opinion. All it does is add to the noise.

Again, I don't believe Tim lies, the good doctor's assertions to the contrary not withstanding.
Is Timmy gay?
You should have seen the babe Tim was with at my party. Where do folks come up with this nonsense?

Yeah, that's the way reputation works, but the gun is definitely pointed in the other direction. S a n d y ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pardon me for butting in, but "nutcase and liar" are some pretty significant slurs, moreso than "putz" or "bozo" or whatever. I'd say there's gotta be a helluva story here. Background, anyone?

Don't go there, Dave. ;) Just stay home and watch some soaps, and spare us the agony ... Consider this a plea, rather than an attempt at censorship :) - r.w.
