I know I said I would ignore Aldo, but since this policy has prompted
him to become even more abusive, I thought I would try some reverse
psychology.  Nobody tell Aldo, or it might not work.

OK, Aldo, you can start reading again.

BTW, Aldo, can you explain to us what is fascist about kill files??

Aldo, meet Charles.  Charles, meet Aldo.  I'm sure you two will get
along just famously.

Lambert's?  Charles included some of his own insults, which he
"accidentally" attributed to me.  You also seem to be unaware of what
"ad hominem" means.

Pardon?  I have not threatened to kill file you, nor have I kill filed you.

Yes, that's it.  Almost everyone in this newsgroup worships Pim.
Fearless individualist Aldo bucked the trend and dared to call Pim
names, so I ruthlessly censored him by suggesting that others ignore him.

Thanks,  now that winter's here I could use a few flames for warmth.
I see you have taken my advice and picked up a few pointers from
Charles.

Oh, and can you tell us if cigarette smoking causes lung cancer in
humans?
