   Stinky's recently deceased girlfriend.  I felt that this was hitting   
   below the belt, and asked the "trolls" to stop.  They did.  And they   
   kept their promise, and did not revert to doing it even when you   
   continued to attack them.   
      
   This was the turning point for me.  The so-called "trolls" were behaving   
   honorably, and making an effort to work *with* the rest of us.  They   
   began engaging in friendly conversations with Jim, myself, and others,   
   and showed every promise of becomimg upstanding members of the group.   
      
   You, otoh, continued to troll them from the sidelines, making it   
   painfully obvious that you were the real troll here.   
      
   It was at this time that you conned Jim out of $50, and refused to   
   apologize -- or even to admit that you'd done anything wrong.  That   
   pretty much sealed your fate as the group pariah.   
      
   I held out and continued defending you as long as I could after that.   
   But you continued to make a nuisance of yourself.  I made several   
   attempts to convince the other members into accepting you (albeit   
   grudgingly) during this time.  However, when I attempted to address one   
   of their biggest complaints, regarding your over-posting, your responded   
   by doubling your posts.   
      
   In short, you continued to behave like an unrepentant jackass.   
      
   Eventually, you supported Pickles when he called me a child molester.  I   
   warned you not to do it again.  When you did, within a week, I broke all   
   ties with you for good.   
      
   At that point, you claimed that I had become a "malicious troll."   
   However, I still attempted to patch things up with you and the regulars,   
   by proposing several peace treaties -- none of which you and your sock   
   ever agreed to.   
      
   As you can see, my only objective had always been to establish a   
   peaceful atmosphere here.   
      
   Eventually, when Google Groups dropped Usenet, I switched to the   
   Official AAPC FB Group (which I had started approx. 3 years earlier).   
   All of AAPC's regulars followed suit, and we have been operating in a   
   peaceful, friendly environment ever since.

   I was never obsessed with Pickles, Donkey.  The man called me a child   
   molester (based on no evidence whatsoever) and threatened to call child   
   wellfare workers on me (not that he knew my real name or where I lived).   
    Given the circumstances, I treated him as the mentally deranged p.o.s.   
   that he truly was.

   The money was given *for* Stinky G (Zod).  It actually was sent to you   
   (Stinky lacked a postal address), and ended up treating you and your   
   brother to steak dinners.   
      
   Jim never asked you to return the money.  He simply wanted you to admit   
   that you jerked him over, and to offer your apology.

   I am not referring to Usenet AAPC, Donkey.  Stop pretending to be even   
   more stupid than you actually are.  (You are pretending, aren't you?)

   Again, stop playing the moron.   
      
   NancyGene is the Co-Administrator of the Official AAPC FB Group.

   Get your head out of your ass, Donkey.   
      
   I am clearly differentiating between "Usenet AAPC" and "The Official   
   AAPC FB Group."   
      
   Denying the existence of the latter won't make it disappear.

   As hard as it might be for your ego to accept, the only thing that made   
   us appear to be a "team" in your eyes was our mutual dislike of you.

   No one cooks up stories, Donkey.  George Dance is a paranoid conspiracy   
   theorist with a persecution complex.  Jim was pissed at you because you   
   treated yourself to steak dinner with the money he sent to help Stinky   
   G. -- and by your stubborn to admit that you were wrong to have done so   
   and to apologize.

   He merely wanted an apology.  Stop playing the poor, victimized drama   
   queen.

   Jim didn't want you reimburse him, Donkey. He wanted an apology from   
   you.   
      
   >> I have several reasons for disliking Will.   
   >   
   > As I have plenty of reasons to despise you, Pendragon.   
      
   Of course you have.   
      
   I wanted peace at AAPC, whereas you wanted to keep it in a perpetual   
   state of war.
