• Active, chill groups?

    From Bill Grayson@21:1/5 to All on Mon Dec 6 07:48:35 2021
    Are there any active groups with intelligent discussion? I am finding
    weird and trollish groups. Topics are not that important. I just like to
    chat with chill people about many things. Please recommend some groups
    to check. Thanks.

    Wow. Posting through mixman with a new sockpuppet to bitch and moan
    about Usenet trolls takes some nerve, but it's nothing we haven't seen
    before.

    rec.food.cooking is a nice on-topic group and so is
    alt.folklore.computers. Both have a few trolls, but just killfile/filter
    them like we all do.

    If you're interested in designing or repairing electronic devices, the sci.electronics.* groups have light but regular traffic. You may prefer
    to killfile one or two participants who are prone to trollish posts, but overall the discussion is helpful and on-topic.

    At least he hooked a couple of clueless newbies and is now probably
    having lots of fun in the newsgroups they invited him to.

    Thank you, sir. In fact I do like cooking and I try new recipes often so
    this is a good start.

    I am still learning about the filter feature. It does not work quite
    like I expected but I think I have it mostly figured out.

    I added the email of Mr. Adam H. Kerman to the filter with it set to
    delete his incoming messages. It seems to work so far.

    Why did you get plonked and I didn't?

    Is it my irresistibly charming personality?

    It's an unfunny running gag of seamus's. seamus creates a new sockpuppet
    then immediately does the drama queen bit to confirm my sighting of a
    seamusing was correct.

    What can I tell you. He just doesn't love you enough.

    The switch from MixMin to AIOE is clever, but not clever enough.

    Anyone else, what is a 'seamus?'

    Is it some kind of queer code or pun? I'm trying to understand the
    rationale of these troll tards.
