Re: OT Please No more US Presidential Politics
Hi Mike,
That's why we in Netscape have, Message, Ignore Thread.
But, if a troll posts a lie, I'm going to be on them like flies on
stink!

Re: OT Please No more US Presidential Politics
That is still no excuse. This is not the proper place for posting ANY kind
of political message. This is supposed to be a Jeep group.
There are PLENTY of other political newsgroups for political posts.

Bill do you honestly think anyone in this group gives a damn about the trolls?
That's what they do, look for suckers to hook. If you take their bait your just
being a sucker. This is a place to talk about Jeeps. A better tactic is to
report them to their ISP.
I've seen you go after spammers and commercial posters. Some how I get the
sense that you really enjoy getting them shut down. Take that same enthusiasm
and shut the political posters down too. There are places for political talk,
this just isn't one of them.

Re: OT Please No more US Presidential Politics
No Bill, you are mistaken. Politics violate the group's charter.
This is a Jeep newsgroup. Please take your politics somewhere
appropriate.
If I have to start filtering a group after all these years, I will
certainly have to rethink if this is the place for me or if it is time
to move on.
