Re: Giving an application a window icon in a sensible way


Anyway, I have absolute proof now -- a post by foobarbazqux (apparently
a PofN sockpuppet by the way) quite definitely contained code designed
to trick GG into thinking I wanted to crosspost my response. It only
showed me the name of one bogus extra destination group, but it
evidently spammed an unknown but large number of others, since the
limit in question was hit again almost immediately thereafter.

Twisted, I really do find myself hoping you really are a very clever
troll, because some of things you post are simply beyond belief!

The response was crossposted to 'alt.usenet.kooks' because the poster
clearly belives that you are a 'kook'. The definition of which
(according the a.u.k FAQ) is...

"A TRUE net.kook has a special fascination derived from his/her/its
utter ineffability. Their behavior is irrational, if not downright
weird, but they are seldom merely boring."

.... a description that seems scarying acurate right now.

A simple crosspot (especially one done by somebody else) is not going
to flag you for a block. Another poster has explained that they too
have been affected by this blocking system during heated flurry posts.
Nobody outside google knows the exact rule that you are tripping but it
is clear to everyone else that this is what is happening.

You seem to be a master of the fallacy. You look for X, ignore occams
razor, find Y and therefore assume that X = Y. The fact that you
repeatedly mention 'logic' in your posts is amusing on this basis.

In total seriousness, if you really are believing what you are posting
and are not just some talented troll, I strongly recommend that you
consider seeking help for your paranoia. It really isn't normal to
build these conspiracy theories based on your own ego and really could
be a sign of bigger pyschological problems. You will, of course, accuse
me of taking a cheap shot, but It really isn't normal to be this
paranoid.
