Actually, Harrell, the problem is YOU. You are, at best, a loose cannon
on the deck, and at worst a sort of dim-witted (but amusing) annoyance.
All of the Internet providers I know of work their butts off, and have
invested relatively large dollars into their systems. Do you really
expect, under those circumstances, that they'll let you do whatever you
want? Why don't you try to rent a car, rip the doors off of it, and paint
it purple, and see what happens to you.
So you've noticed that the Internet is sort of cliqueish? Well welcome to
the real world. You are an annoying person, plain and simple. On the
internet, as in the real world, annoying people are thrown out of places
with GREAT regularity. Don't get me wrong. I don't actually care about
your various Doom flames. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. In fact, I
read you posts with a certain amount of amusement, as they are so badly
written that they really look like something that just blew out of an
insane asylum. I suppose you think you are very clever. Think again!
Look, I think I can understand at least part of your point. There are
some *really* obnoxious people on alt.games.doom. (There are also some
really cool people, which is why I read this group.) Why don't they get
bounced off systems? Mostly because they have something useful to say,
even if it is rude.
Really, you should be ashamed. Your mother brought you up better than this.
