You know, the funny thing is, I only mentioned him ONCE, and that was
only to express the opinion that I personally liked alt.slack better
after I killfiled him and a couple of the others. That was months ago.
(And on my MOM's newsreader!) If I state a negative opinion about
somebody, that's censorship, see.

You'd think from his multi-week hissy fit that I got him with child and
then abandoned him. I must be like a real celebrity to some of these
people.

As with most of the blitherers, or "Mal-Aligned Normals," to use
SubGenius jargon, I don't actually killfile them but COLLECT and
"MOUNT" them, like some people do rare butterflies. Back in the storage
room, there's a little formaldehyde jar labeled "Gurdjieff" between the
"Dean" and "J'lahn" jars. "Meow" I really did killfile. These
characters are not worth collecting EXCEPT in their enraged and
engorged state, which is why I like to declare that I'm ignoring them.
(A contradiction in terms, but they ALWAYS fall for it anyway!) Then I
come back a week later and study their reaction to the idea that
they're being ignored by me, which usually is to frantically try to get
my attention using every ploy they can think of. What they think will
make me mad is often revealing of where they're coming from. Remember
what's-his-name and the 65 24-track SubGenius Radio tapes he was making
a huge fortune from, selling in Europe? Right, I barely do either. He
didn't even merit a jar of his own, he's just in the General Kooks
slurry in an old barrel.

The "Akbar" jar, first on the shelf alphabetically, fills up faster
than anybody's, and it's the only one I check on a daily basis. Akbar
is still suffering XTORTURE and is still planning to kill himself,
incidentally. Same as for the last several years.

Personally I suspect that almost none of us go to the trouble of
ACTUALLY killfiling somebody. It's fun to say you're going to, and then
to stick by your guns and not respond to anything from the "killfiled."
They post a whole bunch of riled up stuff, but then when they come back
to the newsgroup the next time to see what havoc they've wrought, their
posts are still sitting there all alone, seemingly ignored except by
their fellow "killfiled." The angrier and crazier they get at this
nontreatment, the less anybody else is inclined to respond to or
encourage them either, and next thing you know, they've become
convinced that they really HAVE been killfiled by everybody -- when in
actuality it's just that nobody except a really mean and sadistic
bastard ENJOYS seeing other people blow their last shred of dignity all
over Usenet.

As I have stated before, if anybody doesn't like my posts, then PLEASE
-- I BEG OF YOU -- KILLFILE *ME!!* If I wanted to CONTROL a forum I'd
start one on SubSITE. (In fact I already have a secret PHP
module-driven forum set up there and ready to go, but I decided I DON'T
WANT TO HAVE TO BABYSIT A FORUM.) Some of these people are so fucking
dumb they make ME feel smart.

Oh and your $12 should be in the account already. Sweetie. There's also
a tip for "Oddjob."

****

If this particular stink-lure is well placed, for instance, it should
keep 'em swarming for several weeks without me having to do anything
more.

At another point in the movie the dame or somebody says to Gary Cooper
something along the lines of "How can you stand these Pinks?" and he
says, "I don't notice them." STOIC motherfucker.

I have learned a lot about the fucked-uppedness of my own thought
processes by examining the very agitated people. So I kinda still do
care what they think, in that I'm INTERESTED in HOW they think, such as
it is. It's a way of monitoring my own kookness level as best I can.
That's an uphill struggle, though. Like the guy Leonard Shelby in
"Memento," who's constantly striving to make sense of things by keeping
intricate notes everywhere. But all the notes really do is let him
THINK he has a clue.

Yeah, tell me about it. You've done that very thing to ME enough times,
FIEND. MAYBE I LEARNED.
