A couple of people get together for a round in DC. Big Whoop! Most of the people at the so called RSG events contribute little to nothing to RSG. If you want to get together with a few friends and call it RSG Cincinnati, go ahead. It doesn't mean anything other than that. It's no different than me getting together with a few friends around here...and you can be sure I wouldn't consider mentioning such a thing at any time on any DB until maybe after the fact. Because of people derived from RSG directly interfering with events I have organized, I don't speak at all of anything I organize on this DB. You also managed to run Eric off, who was always willing to set up and event, and do a good job of it as well...because of what?

You're proving the adage that if you repeat a lie long enough, you'll believe it yourself. There never was any desire, much less, possibility of any control of this, or any, unmoderated news group, and anyone that even suggests it is imbecilic. You and I know the real reason that you like to cast aspersions to the c-list, but it isn't worth going over again. The only concerted effort that the c-list ever tried to accomplish was to call for ignoring one particular over-the-top poster, who was harming the news group...and that was successful. Other than that it was no different than any other chat group. Incidentally, we're still a chat group, and communicate daily. Almost all still lurk RSG too, a couple of them were just sick of the OT posts though. Lately I've enjoyed your posts because it seemed that those days of hubris were behind you. There was no damage done by that group and you know it. They certainly had nothing to do with the proliferation of OT posts, which you blamed earlier for harming RSG. bk

Rob wasn't a part of the C-list. I was....and saw first hand the control you and others tried to impose on RSG. > The only concerted effort that the c-list ever tried to accomplish > was to call for ignoring one particular over-the-top poster, who was > harming the news group...and that was successful. Another lie. Remember when one of your own did a background check on George Hibbard. The plan was to expose him, embarass him, and run him off. Other than that it > was no different than any other chat group. Incidentally, we're still > a chat group, and communicate daily. That's obvious. Almost all still lurk RSG too, a > couple of them were just sick of the OT posts though. Good. > Lately I've enjoyed your posts because it seemed that those days of > hubris were behind you.

OT posts have not harmed RSG. Cronyism did, along with the Larry threads, and your prolific ankle-bites on newbies. -Greg |
