- Well, just my 2-bits worth, but I use a lot of unmoderated newsgroups and
- have noticed that they seem to be self-regulating. That is, flamers
- who get out of line as bad as the one mentioned in soc.culture.indian
- usually get flamed to death in retaliation until everyone gets tired of
- the whole thing and quits. Other times, people seem to just ignore the
- phreek and since he didn't get any attention, he doesn't post much if
- any anymore. Notice that the quicker result is ignoring the fool, not
- retaliating to him. Bitching is no fun if nobody bitches back! It doesn't
- really hurt anybody if a few fanatics exist in different places and that
- they choose to limit their lives to unhappy subhuman levels by flaming
- others and writing posts like the guy already mentioned did. Just ignore
- him and get on with life and assume that you are smarter than he is...after
- all, it's a safe assumption, right? Live and let live and ignore the
- phreeks!
