Dimwire is in my kill file so I only see replies
which, when on topic, are mainly criticisms
of his poor reading comprehension. His most
frequent posts are somewhat extreme right wing
political posts and he also posts links with an
inane comment to the comics he reads. Apart from
his enthusiastic young adult adventure reviews,
every post contains an error. e.g. Titus G
has been my name here for several decades.
But he makes a huge positive contribution to
the group by the replies and conversations he
initiates. I'm just saving bandwidth.

Ahhh. Makes sense. Good to know.

Nah. I don't fancy killfiling. Even the most vile
USENET participants (and there are plenty in this
newsgroup..)

Vile? Really? Who?
Not Dimwire and not even Quadiblock are close to vile.

alt.troll.adam-h-kerman comes to mind.

But there's a gang of many that essentially
yell "HOW HIGH?!" together whenever he says
"JUMP!", so I'll include them as well.

say something I enjoy and/or learn

from occasionally. I'm fine with reading a
couple lines, and hitting "next" if the
text seems completely uninteresting.

*Plus*, what you're telling me gives me the
impression this participant could be a lot
of fun to interact with, and I'm all about
fun in USENET....

I don't interact much. I'm mainly here for the
science fiction bits.

I'm doing research on the knee-jerk reactions
of nexus' of selfishness when being referred
to accurately.

I mostly just like typing and formatting text
in varieties of ways, with the side hope of
chancing upon fun others, despite decades
of doing such revealing paltry few. Most
do little more than defend the idea of
themselves and their sacred beliefs
about a reality that exists only in
their mind representation of an
alleged external reality.

Can you elaborate? I must have gotten here too

As a usenet troll, you're still in the kindergarten
stage. Terry (Jibini) had his PhD.

I'm sensing a kindergarten stage of someone
who is supposed to be on the "don't feed
the trolls" path. ;-)

It's okay. I understand your need to be seen
putting an alleged "troll" in its place, despite
endless historical proof that such never works,
hence the "don't feed" wisdom that you're still
failing to grasp....

But all things considered, Terry was no Carasso. Carasso was a pioneer in trolling and brought a lot of trolling techniques up to a form of art.
We will not see his like again.

What happened to Mr Austin anyway? Did he go out with a farewell or did
he just disappear?

The latter.

As he did once before.

Personally I'd find it very boring to be the new, 100% trolling Terry.
It's hard to imagine that he felt the same, but perhaps he did.
