What do killfiles acheive?.

I may be stupid but what does it matter if one or all
kill file me.

It penalizes me in no way. These people do not pay my bills.

It is so arrogant to think a kill file works in any way.

It would be better if all try to make the
group work for all.

It is anyone's right to not read anyone's posts.

All they have to do is not open the post.

This xxxx seems like a typical small spoiled child's
response. Might be better if a few go to U Tube

Just watch who you communicate with. It may be a fat cop.

I note Dr Chung will be here no matter what I post..
I prefer decency toward all and hope we can be encourage
better posts.

Adults understand this is a complex world. Baiting
on a religious basis is a dangerous hobby. Just try
to protect your proper rights. Baiting goes two ways
and builds unnecessary hate.

Get off of your ass and study history. It shows clearly
the results of this behavior.

What an arrogant comment.

Killfiles work well for me by discriminating the signal from
the noise. I use them very selectively. Obviously you aren't
in it. That's because I care, despite your occasional
aberrations, about you.

Stop trying to tell us how we should think. Concentrate on
how you should think. And I do realise the hypocrisy of that
comment:-)

Lighten up Guy. I know life is tough; sometimes we have to
laugh through tears and smile through gritted teeth - but
the alternative of incessant gloom is not worth
contemplating.

I hope the burns are healing quickly.

All the best,

Simple. A killfile frees us from seeing that which we don't want to see. I
am not trying to penalize the people in my killfile. I just got annoyed
with them for whatever reason and do not want to read their posts. In the
case of certain people, I will also killfile most or all who choose to
respond to them as well.

What do killfiles acheive?.

- I don't see posts by Mr. Alphabet.
- I don't see posts by his fan club.
- I don't see posts by those whose only life is to attack him.
- I don't see posts by Tony Stark.
- I don't see posts about insulin (nothing personal,
　but I don't use it, and those who do don't want
　my opinion on it)
- I don't see posts whining about the vast conspiracy
　 against the A.D.A.
- I don't see mile-long posts about aspartame.
- I don't see posts about fake watches
- I don't see posts about cheap shoes
[skip a zillion more negatives]

Want a positive achievement?

- I read the remaining subject lines in ten minutes instead
of thirty, leaving an additional twenty minutes to waste bandwidth
defending killfiles.

It does not.

Instead of kill filing you, it remains my choice to continue to pray
for you, so that you should not expect that all will kill file you
anyway:

Moreover, in the larger scheme of things, they do not matter.

The option to kill file removes the justification of any complaint
against a regular usenet poster that their post(s) are unwelcome.

That will not happen until all know and love the truth.

> It is anyone's right to not read anyone's posts.

All souls retain GOD's generous gift of free will to not read
everything they see.

And if they do, they certainly do not have to click on the links.

Sadly, type-2 diabetes is clearly an acquired disease.

Type-2 diabetes does effect even those in law-enforcement.

LORD willing.

The sockpuppets of satan do not have the free will to do anything
except that which is evil and indecent as all have witnessed.

The sockpuppets of satan have no capacity for love.

Thankfully, since Jesus' resurrection and ascension to the right hand
of GOD the Father, all power and authority has been taken from satan
so that though this world remains imperfect because of sin as we, who
are Christians, await things to be made anew (new heaven, new earth,
and new Jerusalem) it is a better place that awaits for Jesus' return
for us to meet HIM in the air and for HIM to judge those who do not
belong to HIM.

May we, who are Christians, continue to pray for your perishing soul,
dear Guy:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.m...b404e1e673b36?

My kill file is for me, not for you - just as, if we met at a party,
you could choose to engage me in either trivial or in-depth
conversation - and I could either respond, or develop an urgent
appointment - a killfile allows me to filter out idiots. It's an aid

You need to learn to laugh at the internet.

Actually you get a better understanding of people
and feel so superior.

Juat kidding. I probably only reqd less than 20% of the posts.

I do look for certain people that have provided me with valuable
nformation, looking for more.

Those who don't killfile are able to not miss out on what they need to
read, which is often not what they want to read.

Well Mack, I will keep you entertained. Recently, I have
seen a lot more good posts that address diabetes. That
is good. Posts to cover a personal whim is a useless endeavor.

Frankly, the proclamation of kill files sound like some small
child. I have to live in the real world. Simply, do not read
unacceptable posters more than once.

I read you all of the time. You are interesting You are very good
with some aspects of diabetes

To I am very unconcerned what Internet gossipers think of me.

Too old and have too many problems in the real world

I am old and stupid. What else.
NO kill file is a useless threat and
reflects on the user.

Kinda like,--- I will not give any of my "superiority".

It is clearly a childish threat.

Put your finger in a glass of water--pull it out.
See how long the hole lasts.

I only read about 20% of the posts. The ones
from certain authors or on a header subject.

Kill files reflect on the user. Who else cares.

I probably do mentally use them But not as a threat
to others. Posting and reading is optimal .

Crap is detrimental to the purpose of the group.

I just spent two hours on a real world discussion of the
future of medical care. The Internet has gross
limitations but can--if allowed to--serve a
very useful function in medical info..

I only read the occasional posts, those which have a topic I can contribute
to or learn from. That's all I am willing to devote my time to, preferring
to stay active and to spend time with my family. Once the thread "explodes"
with posts, most of them having deviated into discussions way off the
original topic, I just give up. I am often overwhelmed with the number of
posts.

I don't have a killfile. I trust my judgement in knowing which posts and
which posters to avoid. I compare having a killfile with walking down the
street (the ASD side or the MHD side) and shutting your eyes tight when
passing people you don't like. I suppose if you felt the need to stare at
everyone you passed (reading every post in a newsgroup), then you'd need to
shut your eyes tight.

Ah, so it's not killfiles that offend you; it's people
mentioning killfiles. Well, if you don't like hearing
about killfiles, why did you start a thread about them?

Because they are used as threats. The groups
have been negatively affected by those that
imply superiority. Who really gives a damn
if a person threatens to leave or to deprive
some from their great ?????.

This is not the place for childish arguments
which seem to be the main theme.

I know it will have little effect but might make a few
note their contributions to the group

Unless there are objections, The group goes
to the personal slurs and attacks.

I have had several incidents that point out the
absurdity of some actions

I use these groups and have profited. Today,
I do not care if I am dropped. I never engaged
in neighborhood fights.

But I sure have profited from many outside groups
where people used common personal decency.

Thr purpose of this thread is a feeble attempt
disdcredit those that are self aserving and do
not give a damn about diabetics or anyone else.

Tnis group is worth fighting for. It is not a haven for
deviates that are messed up and must find a way
to feel important.

The most important thing is to tell the truth about their behavior.


There is an overall proper use of the group. Courtesy is
preferred. The bulls see this as an opportunity

It is proper to attack the message but not the person.

Much easier if you don't have to see their stuff to begin with.

Agreed completely.

But they are here anyway. Killfiles let us ignore them.

Your title asked "What do killfiles achieve?" Judicious use
of killfiles (and other filters) by most of us is keeping
the group alive.

They are pointless as a threat, but they allow many people
to remain who would otherwise leave. And some newbies to
stay long enough to get help.

They allow me to read the group without wading through much
of the spam from commercial slime who blanket usenet with
crap. They mean that I only see the insane doc from Atlanta
when idiots reply to him and the same goes for iron Tom and
several other known kooks. And most of those silly people
replying eventually end up in the killfile too.

Every month I clean mine out and start again, just in case I
lost a friend in there. Within days it's filling up again.

Killfiles are not hurting this group Guy - without them many
of us would no longer be here. I've sadly watched asd.uk
decay since the kooks and abc swamped it and I don't want to
see it happen here. I spend most of my time on the ADA forum
these days, plus a couple of Yahoo groups. I would not have
time to read and post here if I had to wade through the muck
without killfiles.

Pointless moaning about the glorious days of the past, seen
through rose-tinted glasses, isn't helping the group either.
If you want to help keep it alive, participate in specific
discussions instead of your usual vague complaints. Provide
the benefit of your long experience and the sad mistakes of
the doctors in your past. You provide a highly poignant
example of what not to do and the consequences.

Killfiles are just another tool; they help keep the group
alive in the same way as antiseptics help keep you alive -
they fight off germs.

I don't care what others read or don't. But I do get annoyed when I keep
seeing the same people responding to trolls or idiots who are in my KF. So
I wind up putting those people in there as well!

im only the boss of stuff i care about..lol

Dont care if people rad chung or not and certainly not gonna start threads
about it..lol

Exactly. That's what killfiles achieve.
