She claimed in the partial birth abortion thread that EVERYONE is in her twit filter. Therefore the test52 responses total.
Oh good grief. Slynne is probably in the list of top ten people the least likely to have a twit filter. Do you believe everything people tell you?
She made the claim herself.
She was kidding.

re #0: In Usenet parlance, I think it goes something like this: YHBT. HAND.
I'm kidding too..no one has the skin needed for my sense of humor
re 1 janc, do you filter anyone?
Personally I never understood the reasoning behind "twit filters". If I wanted to "twit filter" I wouldn't even log into m-net in the first place. I would put my hands over my ears and shout out "I'm not Listening" at the top of my voice and I would keep an Sharpie(TM) majic marker on the dash when I drive the car to mark off those part of my glasses where unpleasant or ignorant things are seen. I think of it as evolution in action. Anyone stupid enough to use twit filters will probably be stupid enough to not be able to successfully breed (like russ?) and so the trait removes itself from the gene pool eventually.

oh, this item is so tantalizingly invisible. I can hardly stand it ;)
resp:8 Everyone's got an opinion. I still note that you can still look at responses with a filter on if you want. Just takes a little more time.
re#8 True...russ is a total idiot. re#9 and 10 HaHa..I see you had seconds thoughts on your reponse#9 I know how to read it anyway..nothing is lost on this system...HaHa Really I mean it. It is still readable. Just look in /h1b/bbs/censored. WHoop whoop there it IS. And if this item is so invisible why are you postong to it? Has all that fat cut off circulation to your cerebral cortex? Re#11 Oh..it's ole billy eats muff. Back on my porch..jaklulantern.
(The file is /bbs/censored and has been depermitted, per a membership vote some time back.)
Re 7: I filter out everyone smarter than me, so that I can maintain the sense of being the smartest person on Grex. You'll have noticed that I never respond to md, remmers, or mcnalley.
re#13 well........that sucks
Sorry pvn, but I recently started using a twit filter. (Obviously, you're not on it (yet).) Guess my standing with you just went down the tubes, eh? I'll leave it to the smarter Grexers to figure out who I'm filtering.

I m getting tired of sabre. His items are dumb. But, we do have interesting spin-offs. I don't have a twit-filter, mainly because I'm too lazy to figure out how to use one. Also, I believe that scrolling past a response I don't want to read works just as fine. Twit filters would come in handy for times when a twit has been posting all over agora, and you get excited seeing that there are 34 new responses, and you find that they're all posted by the twit, and like you've wasted your time following his inane postings around. Yeah, I guess a twit filter would be good in those cases. But like I said, I'm lazy. And those instances are too rare for me to bother.
Well, I have to guess that Dr. Remmers is using the twit filter on sabre. Nothing interesting there, so why not blank it out? There are so many fun ways a person like sabre could disrupt some poor bbs he's decided to pick on. The method he picked -- thumping his chest, threatening people, accusing people of being thin-skinned or humorless when nobody laughs at his unfunny posts, explaining why people ignore him by saying they're intellectually inferior to him, yada yada yada -- requires no special skill, and consequently is just dull and predictable. We've seen it lots of times before. Anybody could do it. Janc could write a bot to do, fer chrissake. "Egotism is the anesthetic for the pain of being stupid." So, here's the challenge: if you wanted to come to grex or mnet and really, really shake things up, how would you do it?
This response has been erased.
To use a twit filter, type (at the start of a line) ignore sabre Next time you log on, all of sabre's responses will appear blank. Unfortunately if sabre was the last one to post in an item, you still have to look at that item (as a blank). If you want to add a name to your twit filter, you have to type in all the previous names as well as the new one or you will only filter the new one.
It seems that the using a twit filter will not solve the only problem for which I would want to use the twit-filter. Oh well. Questioning policy seems to be the most reliable method so far of shaking things up on mnet/grex.

resp:19 - Well, one time I tried to make a pseudo that would shake things up. I tried to come up with a personality that was about as offensive as I could think of. I said all kinds of mean and nasty things to folks. And do you know what they did? They LAUGHED at me. Oh the horror!

re#19 Shut up you remmers puppet. remmers did create your persona after all and you have the nerve to call me uninteresting. Ha. You are so pathetic that the only way you can get "respect"(as if that would pay for a cup of coffee) is to ride on the coattails of an old goat like remmers. remmers has me in twit filter because he lascks the youthful energy needed to spar with my massive intelligence. I think mary needs to change the geritol bottle on his IV.She will...as soon as she gets over her menopausal hot flashes. re#22 mynxcat..a commie liberal like you thinks the solution to a problem is to eliminate the voice of everyone who doesn't agree with you. You are just trying to fit in. I haven't read one post of yours that is original. You are nothing but a liberal parrot spouting out concepts you don't even understand....let alone truly believe in. You are one of the admirers of the king's new clothes...you deon't have the guts to stand up and expose his nudity. You are swimming..no you're DROWNING in the fallacy of ad populace. You always will be...because there isn't an original thought in that pretty,empty head of yours. I mispelled don't due to fast typing but I will not correct it. Do you kn ow why? Because when morons like the twits on grex focus on such mundane and trivial issues they miss the whole point of the argument. Liberal are all idiots.
(And you *still* can't get anybody to take the bait. Doesn't it just make you crazy??) I don't believe questioning policy is the answer. There were a couple of occasions on Grex when the censored log policy caused a lot of people to type a lot of words, but that's about it. mnet is so mired in apathy and fatalism that Jamie (I think it was) could enter a long jeremiad and get practically nothing but the usual string of one-liners in response.
There was that little incident when I deleted twinkie's posts, and then the whole non-local board member issue on grex. Ok, not really "shaking up", but the closests it's come to in years.

I don't use twit filters on Grex because the twit problem has yet to reach the magnitude that I think it's necessary. However, I made liberal use of my killfile when I read Usenet.

re# 33 and 34 I can proxy from just about anywhere I want. Wingate is in wide use. You will never believe who I really am. re#24 most people laugh at fatties. re#28 "mnet is so mired in apathy and fatalism that Jamie (I think it was) could enter a long jeremiad and get practically nothing but the usual string of one-liners in response." Sounds more like GREX to me. m-net ROCKS! re#19 "revisited" " There are so many fun ways a person like sabre could disrupt some poor bbs he's decided to pick on. The method he picked -- thumping his chest, threatening people, accusing people of being thin-skinned or humorless when nobody laughs at his unfunny posts, explaining why people ignore him by saying they're intellectually inferior to him, yada yada yada -- requires no special skill, and consequently is just dull and predictable. We've seen it lots of times before. Anybody could do it. Janc could write a bot to do, fer chrissake" janc could write a bot eh? Is that akin to having remmers form this persona and then handing it over to you? I could write a bot that mimics every un-original thought in that parrot brain of yours. In fact it would probally make more sense. Now for those who don't believe that md is a total fraud type "j pseudo" and read remmers confession about the many different accounts he createddd..in fact I will post it here and you can go there for verification (just in case remmers goes there and scribble /h1p/bbs/censored..has been deletede thanks to chicken hearted grexers) Here is the scoop..right from the horses mouth(for the phony md's sake) " #5 of 34: by John H. Remmers (remmers) on Mon, Oct 14, 1991 (11:39): Lately I've been doing a number of pseudos on both M-Net and Grex which, now that I've decided not to do pseudos any more, I'm giving up. They've become rather high-profile personalities on those systems, so in the interest of continuity I've made arrangments for other people to take them over. Hopefully the new folks behind these pseudos will try to maintain consistency, but if you notice subtle changes in the writing styles or odd lapses of memory on the part of 'griz', 'polygon', 'lk', 'igor', 'md', 'bad', or 'arthur' -- well, now you know the reason." This of course can be verified by reading the psuedo.cnf yourself. MD..YOU ARE A FRAUD AND A PHONY!!!!!!
Even if that is true, that was 12 years ago. Enough time for all those "pseudos" to come up with personalities of their own. Is this supposed to be even the slightest bit amusing? You're right, mnetters know how to lay on the insults in an entertaining way. Too bad you haven't learnt much from there

ew... White Castle And sabre.. is that the best you can do? Lame.
mmmmm...sliders! i always refer to 'the castle as "Whitey's Steakhouse" because of a nighmare i had once
er.."lame" ? Now how original is THAT?. I shall name my new parrot mynxcat..in your honor. It seems thats all you do ..repeat what you hear. Have you EVER had an original thought? I laugh when I'm asked that...I am the master of original thought. It is sort of like called Shaq.."shorty" I realise that. In your case...the question is salient. #re Yes someone please give this ugly gopher a sack....to put on his head.

I've never bothered to try twit filters, but i don't try to read all the stuff in agora either. My impression is that most of the folks who enjoy playing twit have interesting things to say at times. And many of the folks who usually say interesting things react like Pavlov's dogs to twitting and spew out time-waster responses. Ergo, twit flitering seems a poor algorithm for improving the quality of what i read.

resp:49 - Darn it! I am really busy right now otherwise I would spew out the biggest time-waster response you've ever seen. Haw Haw.
