Well, Tony, I really wasn't trying to make anything out of that misspelling in your message. Just a whim, or a capricious moment, when I decided not to correct it in my own message. I thought it added some humor.

For all I know, you were creating your message with a mobile phone or other portable device that is kind of awkward to set up text. I have a desktop-sized workstation with a separate keyboard. The "Cadillac Bugatti Veyron" of online messaging devices.

First I had "unfair thing." Then I struck that out and put "incautious idea." Talking about the last of my messages on Page 1. I think it should be this:

My thought was that you use a lot of big words to say very little of importance.

quote Originally posted by olejoedad: My thought was that you use a lot of big words to say very little of importance.

That deserves a thoughtful response.

This is an open forum. Open to all comers. The Forum's Ultimate Authority is clearly limiting his moderator's role to a single concern: Stopping any messages that would jeopardize the forum's ad-related revenues from Google (or from wherever). The only concern is for messages that include lewd or pornographic images, or--and I am just speculating here--maybe images that are overtly and shockingly violent or racist. Really, really violent, or really, really racist. Like maybe a large-sized image of a standard German Nazi flag, coupled with some White Supremacist slogan. Maybe.

So if you have an idiot with the cyberbully mentality--a cyberbully wannabe--there's nothing that would stop or reduce those kinds of messages. For example--and of course this is purely [sarcasm]hypothetical[/sarcasm]--a member who is not content to discuss mostly with ideas and arguments, but also goes as far out of his way as possible to use insulting words and offensive themes or memes against another member. Someone that I described on another thread as a member that has Vitriol Dependency Issues.

I see two possibilities here, with respect to the first of the Posting Rules: the Keep It Civilized rule, which to my way of thinking, is an indispensable rule for any civilized forum:

1. The FUA (Forum's Ultimate Authority) is not moderating, except for any messages that would be problematic for the forum's ad revenues.
   
2. The FUA's interpretation of the Keep It Civilized rule is way more permissive than what I would expect for a civilized forum. It's "anything goes," if it's not an ad revenues problem.

Whatever that case, the reality is that the cyberbully wannabe kind of idiot has a clear path for injecting turbulence and chaos into whatever discussions he gets involved in, and this discussion is an excellent example.

After having had the experience of the first page of this discussion, I can now boil it down to it's most important information.

Important Information #1

quote False Dawn and Zodiacal Light are figurative and imaginative names from earlier history for the phenomenon of sunlight being reflected--scattered and back scattered--by dust grain-sized material that is constantly orbiting the Sun in the same plane (the Ecliptic) as the Earth and the other planets (for the most part) orbit the Sun. The third message on Page 1, which is also the second Reply to the Original Post, is stupid.

Important Information #2

quote The politically anodyne character of the original topic--about as free of politics as anything could be--makes this a very tractable case study of how a stately online conversation can suddenly veer towards the berserk when one member conducts himself like a kitchen blender, filled with digestive waste and set to purée--without the lid on.

If I had had the foresight to have seen all that at the very beginning, that is all that I would have said, and I would have put it all in my Original Post.

I needed the experience of the entire Page 1 discussion to be able to separate this "wheat" from the "chaff".

Because hindsight is so often better than foresight.

I expect I will almost certainly regret this, but if the known individual would just show some restraint, I'm not one (I think) to hold grudges.

I don't like being called a "LIAR" over differences of opinion.

I don't need to be reminded that I am not the Poster Boy for perfect mental and emotional well being.

Other than that, I'm not (I think) particularly thin-skinned.

I didn't find serious fault with that last one, that had the animation or GIF of the guy in the car seat with his tongue hanging out.

[This message has been edited by randye (edited 03-25-2018).]

I already regret it.

That didn't take long.

FIrst of all, something especially for Tony Kania. The second message down from the top of this page. I hope he's looking in.

I'm guessing that no one who checked in here has actually tried to observe the Zodiacal Light. I didn't. But if anyone can say otherwise, it would add even more sparkle to this already "stellar" discussion.




We are now six days beyond the Vernal Equinox, so we are moving beyond the peak window of visibility for this kind of stargazing. I have no authoritative information about how significant that would be, in terms of actually being able to observe this phenomenon. My less than fully educated guess would be not all that much. Just thinking, six days compared to an entire year's worth of days. A guess.

The Autumnal Equinox is coming our way on September 23. I am marking that on my calendar. Not because I particularly expect to be "gung ho" enough to be outside, myself, in the dark, trying to see what there could be to see of this spectacle; but I will be looking for another Zodiacal Light update from the esteemed Brian Lada or any of his AccuWeather compatriots.


Why Brian Lada ?

and

E. Because Ronald is a faux-intellectual, he doesn't understand that Jonathan Swift was one of the foremost SATARISTS of English prose, which is why Ronald took the quote that he posted 180 degrees OPPOSITE of it's actual context, meaning and intent.

The quote from Swift regards ridiculous people like Ronald that consider themselves a misunderstood genius who is always about to burst forth onto the world to put it right, if only all the small-minded fools, (those that he considers to be a "confederacy of dunces"), would simply follow his bizarre and incoherent instructions.


"Satire is a sort of glass wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own." -- Jonathan Swift

[This message has been edited by randye (edited 03-27-2018).]

Your analysis of the Jonathan Swift quotation could well be on the mark.

But your commentary here is still "nuts".

There are many who ignore my messages without reading them. Others pass over them and may scan or read them without responding with commentary of their own. You're the only one that gets "triggered" to respond with a nasty, ugly verbal aggressiveness.

None of your friends (or former friends) on this forum registers anywhere near as hostile to me, as you do. Not that I can see. Some are likely embarrassed for you.

You're only here because the first of the listed Posting Rules has been allowed to lapse. That last message was only borderline "uncivilized", but is part of a consistent, larger, and really ugly Rule Number One trespass that you've carried out, ever since you started up here. You disfigure yourself.

The "Ray O, Ray O" thread is the central discussion of this forum, and you were exposed there as a royal ass who will go to any lengths to try to fabricate "lies" that you then try to tar me with.

And, since you littered up this discussion with so much of your trash that it's easy to forget, your very first message in this Topic, back on Page One, was remarkably stupid. False Dawn and Zodiacal Light are just old-style names for this light-scattering phenomenon. You tried to take a "crap" on AccuWeather contributor Brian Lada, but only soiled your own pants with that one.

That is the snarky, Trump-style "Twitter" response from rinselberg.

This is the official response from rinselberg that could (in theory ) be reported by MSM or legacy media outlets like WaPo, NYT, CNN, MSNBC... etc.

There are two different ways to participate on Pennock's, especially here in the Off Topic section. A person can be totally upfront about their backstory. They can fill in all or many of the "blanks" that are behind their Pennock's UserName or "screen name," That's one way. Some here are like that.

The second way is to be more distant. To participate, but not as a 100 percent real person. To be known to others on Pennock's mostly by the content of their public messages or "posts." To participate as a UserName, instead of a fully revealed person. Let me use the term for this as a "Cyber Personality."

I participate as a Cyber Personality. I have let slip some "bread crumbs" about myself--the reality of "rinselberg" when I am not putting up another public message in the course of the various discussion Topics that are in play here. Some of these bread crumbs have kind of circulated on this forum, and become known to members that I did not have in mind when I put out the crumbs. They were "factoids" about myself that I included in some of my public messages. I accept that. I took that risk when I went public with it. It's part of the "game" here. Bread crumbs. Factoids. Public disclosures.

When screen name "randye" tells me to Get Help--he's talking about Psychiatric counseling--I take it the same way as when an authoritative and lawless regime (think Vladimir Putin) tries to suppress internal opposition by sending KGB-style thugs to arrest the opposition leaders at gunpoint and confine them to prison cells or detention camps, using the pretext of Pathological Mental Illness. They are "risks" or "threats" that must be eliminated. That's the pretext.

Just look at the nonsensical and disgusting character of randye's conduct in this very Topic alone. This "Zodiacal Light" discussion that I started. His first interaction--the third message down on Page One, or the second Reply to the Original Post, was to slam the brief report that I used to start this Topic. Just go back to Page One and look at that message.

The report was from AccuWeather contributor Brian Lada. I'm not obsessed with Brian Lada. I keep talking about Brian Lada because Brian Lada is part of the narrative of this Topic and the narrative of this Topic reveals the idiotic and disgusting way that randye generally conducts himself here.

I don't need to repeat any of the narrative that unfolded here on Page One. Anyone can review it. The message that really, really pissed me off came from randye, and it was this:

quote Originally posted by randye: If it's not such a [Big F'ing Deal] then stop telling lies, Ronald.

That's randye in a nutshell. If there's any difference of opinion about almost any imaginable topic or "point", randye calls me a LIAR. Like there's no threshiold whatsoever for escalating in a discussion from "We have a difference of opinion" to "rinselberg is a LIAR."

All anyone has to do is to review this entire discussion, starting from Page One, to where it is now, and focus on the Replies from randye.

Screen name randye is the most disgusting and repulsive Internet personality that I have ever encountered online.

If it were up to me, I would take immediate moderator action against him. A warning about the first of the listed Posting Rules, to Keep It Civilized. Then, if there were no compliance, a timeout or temporary suspension. One month, I would say. After that, an indefinite suspension from Pennock's. Or at least, from the Off Topic section.

I can't do that. But that's how I see it.

If anyone wants a single online message that best describes the reality of screen name randye, please use this link to another thread:
https://www.fiero.nl/forum/F...HTML/122219.html#p22

You should be presented with a message from me, that starts like this:

quote In unambiguously clear, Anglo-Saxon prose...

The difference between randye and rinselberg is the First Amendment. Freedom of speech. I want it for this forum. Screen name randye wants to harass anyone that emerges in this forum, that says things that randye does not agree with. Almost any kind of thing. The only thing that keeps him from showing up at my front door with a gun and a straightjacket, to kidnap me in a CIA-like Extraordinary Rendition scenario, is the 2300+ miles between Sunnyvale, CA, where I live, and New Port Richey, FL, where he lives.

Is that an embellishment? OK. I am being somewhat metaphorical. But just examine the crude, vulgar nature of this man's online interactions. The insulting GIF or animation of that guy in a car, licking at the windows. He's used it three times already, in the last two or three days, in his ceaseless efforts to insult me over differences of opinion.

I am not obsessed with AccuWeather contributor Brian Lada.

Screen name randye is obsessed with screen name rinselberg.

[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 03-30-2018).]

Bwahahahahaa! Holy shat, that is funny! You, keeping in line with forum rules! Bwahahahaha!

You break forum rules going after Randye more than once in the past several months. You have started threads as such.

Does the "counselor" ask you to "show me where the hurt is on this doll?"

You allude to one thread. You have created numerous threads about your disdain for how much you do not enjoy us. You mentioned your friends here. Several times as of late. Well, I have seen none of the sorts. So, I ask you and your friends, who are you? Who are these friends that you speak of? Look around this poker table, and tell me just who is your friend?

I am not seeking to attack you, only pointing out your hypocrisy. Your denial of truths. Your threads of ill content towards others here. That is all.

I can show you some of my friends here, Mr Kania.

Just use that link that I just put up, that goes into the recent "Ray O, Ray O" thread.

Just scan or scroll through that discussion.

The Pennock's members that lined up with my thoughts there, about randye, are my forum friends.

I count at least two in that discussion. Maybe three. The truth is that I have not reviewed that entire discussion. I guess I should see the part of it that unfolded after my last message in that thread.

Most of the members here are non-commital about Member vs Member issues like this. Neutral. Bystanders. Not wanting to get involved or take one member's side against another member.

I respect that. I tend to be like that, myself, to a certain extent, when it's some other member that has an issue like this. Let's say, "dobey".

Now I know, "dobey" had some issues here that he caused himself. I try not to do that. Not to become a verbal aggressor against another member.

This screen name "randye" leaves me no alternative. He is literally stalking me on this forum. This is my self-defense. He has been the verbal aggressor from the very start, in thread after thread after thread. I could give you link after link, or CopyAndPaste after CopyAndPaste.

You are not very observant on this issue, Tony.

Hello all,

This is a BLIND Reply: a Reply without my seeing anything that was added to this discussion, after I submitted my last message before this one.

I want to put some distance between myself and this discussion. So, weighing some options. The Zero Return option, under which I would not return to this discussion in the foreseeable future. The Return Sometime The Week After This Week option, which is self-explanatory.

Those are the two main options that are under consideration.

At the end of my last message, I had this, addressed to Tony Kania:

If Tony is looking in again, I would like to strike that sentence from the record. Just attribute it (if possible) to the "fog" of messaging.

I think you've realized you might have opened up to much. My problem with you 100% is you seem to live in a state of delusion and when confronted with truth and facts that don't fit your narrative, the narrative takes precedence. (you're not the only one, it's not even a red vs blue issue, it's on both sides, even I may be guilty of it more than I'd like to admit) The truth is, that if you have problems online, you've brought it on yourself, nobody is forcing you to participate. It's no surprise you'd mention this website to you're counselor but if you're not showing him the forum in context, no observations/conclusions he/she may mention could possibly be valid. I'm not happy you need this help but I'm glad you're getting it.

If you're ever willing to have an honest debate where you don't ignore truth because it would hurt your argument, not only would I be happy to go back and forth with you but you'd be demonstrating a discipline few are willing to practice.

Everyone must tackle their own demons.

Any editing to correct mistaken information should be done by including the erroneous information with strike through, immediately followed by the corrected information.

Editing defamatory, or disrespectful comments, long after they are posted is dishonest and deceitful.

Could you share any of the evidence that links me to that "poop" episode that is kind of legendary on this forum? Surely a genius like you would have finally cracked the case by now.

I don't think that "Who else that's ever been active on this forum would be crazy [weird, degenerate] enough?" quite "nails" it, does it? Isn't that just circumstantial, as they say in court?

Yes, I remember myself joking about it, towards the end of last year. I don't know which topic that was in. I said something like "How much to send a parcel from Slovakia to New Port Richey, FL?" I think that's the reference that I made.

Why Slovakia? I think I got that from some other reference where it got into the discussion. I don't remember just picking "Slovakia" out of the blue. Although if I wanted to pick a country for a quip like that, "Slovakia" does have a nice ring to it. Phonetically, and culturally. It just sounds "right" in that context. The number of syllables and the rhythm. The "s", "v" and "k" sounds and the "a" at the end. It just "works". I wouldn't be surprised if "poop parcel from Slovakia" is listed somewhere online as an Urban Myth. Does the same story circulate on other messaging boards?

I don't know if that's the only time that I have ever joked about it. It's been referenced on Pennock's a number of times, that I remember. I don't remember exactly each time or context, just that it seems like it's been a "number" of different times that I have seen it come up on this forum. Maybe I've joked about it two or three different times, over the years.

It could only have been after someone else had already made a reference to it. I wouldn't have ever had a reason for being the first one to "go there" in any conversation. Not that I can remember, Mr Prosecutor. That's to the best of my recollection. I swear it. Oh wait. I don't have to. I was already sworn in.

My apologies to the one person here who does not ever regard it as merely a joke. My apologies for taking this bait, instead of ignoring it. But it seems like a good thing to have on record. I don't want our variety show host to be able to edit it out of his own public message. Although maybe's he's a "hacker", in addition to his other talents.

I hope Mr. Laugh-A-Minute doesn't somehow acquire Moderator capabilities without a "hacking".
