I think this asshole is actually proud of being Australian! But he is
actually from Shitland, the same as TM. Both are Shitheads and should limit
their posts to one another.

No one is reading your shit any longer, most especially not me. I don't even
think TM is reading your posts and that is really saying something - you god
damn ignorant asshole!

So now we know RS uses other names. Jeez, what a revelation.

Folks, we have here a total scum bucket. He is nothing but an asshole and a
shithead. What he likes is naivet� from others above all else. Why
accommodate him? I have already told everyone who and what he is. Behave
accordingly with him as you would with TM. He is no different, only lacking
TM's good nature. That is why you should leave him to me.

Info from the Internet about him:

After its recent emergence in the thread "How to calculate increase
of home wireless router range?", readers of this group may find
this useful. [based on a post in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage]

Who or What is Rod Speed?

Rod Speed is an entirely modern phenomenon. Essentially, Rod
Speed is an insecure and worthless individual who has discovered
he can enhance his own self-esteem in his own eyes by playing "the
big, hard man" on the InterNet.

Rod is believed to be from Australia.

Rod certainly posts a lot. Why is that?

It relates back to the point about boosting his own self esteem by
what amounts to effectively having a wank in public. Rod's
personality, as exemplified by his posts, means he is practically
unemployable which means he sits around at home all day festering
away and getting worse and worse. This means he posts more and
more try and boost the old failing self esteem. Being unemployed
also means he as a lot of time on his hands to post in he first
place.

But maybe Rod really is a very clever and knowledgable person?

Clever? His posts wouldn't support that theory. As far as being
knowledgable, well, Rod has posted to various aus newsgroups
including invest, comms, and politics. He has posted to all as a
self professed "expert" and flames any and all who disagree with
him. Logically, here's no way any single individual could be
more than a jack of all trades across such a wide spread of
subject matter.

But maybe Rod really is an expert in some areas?

Possibly. However, his "bedside manner" prevents him from being
taken seriously by most normal people. Also, he has damaged his
credibility in areas where he might know what he's on about by
shooting his self in the foot in areas where he does not. For
example, in the case of subject matter such as politics, even a
view held by Albert Einstein cannot be little more than an
opinion and to vociferously denigrate an opposing opinion is
simply small mindedness and bigotry, the kind of which Einstein
himself fought against his whole life.

What is Rod Speed's main modus operandi?

Simple! He shoots off a half brained opinion in response to any
other post and touts that opinion as fact. When challenged, he
responds with vociferous and rabid denigration. He has an
instantly recognisable set of schoolboy put downs limited pretty
much to the following: "Pathetic, Puerile, Little Boy, try
harder, trivial, more lies, gutless wonder, wanker, etc etc".
The fact that Rod has been unable to come up with any new insults
says a lot about his outlook and intelligence.

But why do so many people respond to Rod in turn?

It has to do with effrontery and a lack of logic. Most people
who post have some basis of reason for what they write and when
Rod retorts with his usual denigration and derision they respond
emotionally rather than logically. It's like a teacher in a
class room who has a misbehaving pupil. The teacher challenges
the pupil to explain himself and the student responds with "***
off, Big Nose!" Even thought the teacher has a fairly normal
proboscis, he gets a dent in his self-esteem and might resort to
an emotional repsonse like "yeah? well your *** wouldn't fill a
pop rivet, punk", which merely invites some oneupmanship from the
naughty pupil. Of course, the teacher should not have justified
the initial comment with a response, especially in front of the
class. The correct response was "please report to the
headmaster's office right NOW!"

What is a "RodBot"?

Some respondents in aus.invest built a "virtual Rod" which was
indiscernable from the "real" Rod. Net users could enter an
opinion or even a fact and the RoDBot would tell them they were
pathetic lying schoolboys who should be able to do better or some
equally pithy Rod Speedism.

Are you saying that Rod Speed is a Troll?

You got it!

What is the best way to handle Rod Speed?

KillFile!

But I am playing your game now where words don't mean a damn thing. Don't
like it? Get used to it because that is all you will get from me from here
on out. It is what comes of being a fuckwit like you, stupid.

Now go fuck yourself since I have already told you how to do it. Remember,
go slow. Speed is not good and is hard on your Rod.

I know what I am doing even if you don't. I stay here mainly for just a few

He is NEVER closer to being right than wrong. He is actually nothing but a
quipster and over simplifies everything.

TM is only entertaining if you are a simpleton like he is.

I am only hostile with those who have shown themselves hostile to me first.

I agree with you about all of this being nothing but a drive by circus.
Notice how Tom Sherman manages to stay out of it by never fully engaging
anyone. That is probably the best tactic. With Mr. Sherman it is just one
aside after another. I could do that too, but then the worst elements
prevail. Sorry, but I am not built that way.

Just Rod Speed fucking with anyone dumb enough not to know better. He is

In light of a major offender that has greatly contaminated this
newsgroup for several years already...

How about a killfile filter that filters on basis of phrases and a few
favored words and misspelled words? Especially since this offender
shifts nyms when notified about being plonked?

Such as favorite ones by the FAQ-having offender here? How about also
a few by another nym-shifting irritant in another newsgroup that I also
frequent?

fuckwit
countrys
industrys
fantasys
"leave for dead"
"a retard"
"f***ing retard"
"g****** retard"
"puerile s***"
"flushed where they belong"
"reams of"
"pig ignorant"
"lump it"

Probably a dozen or two others...

I seem to think that this would hide from me possibly a majority of
the posts by the guilty, and less than 1/4 of 1% of the posts by the
innocent.

It would help this filter to also use filtering on basis of posting-
from e-mail address, including the 3 to 5 most used by the FAQ-having
irritant as well as *@*oftheuniverse.org that the other one often uses.
Add a few more if necessary.

This altogether won't be perfect, but I think it would help for better
mood of most people here.

I have heard that Thunderbird as a "Usenet client" has this capability
or close to this - is that true?

You can't filter news on stuff in the body unless you download the whole
group to read offline, an unlikely event nowadays. You can filter news
on whatever headers you wish, though, so they work pretty well.

I've used Netscape/TB mail ever since it was born. Loyalty, I guess.

I was once on an Australian cycling newsgroup and it was the stupidest group
ever. It was a cross between an imbecilic chat room and a recreation ground
for stalkers. No more pitiful group ever existed. I could only compare them
to the retarded aborigines of that land. It must be because Australia is
upside down.

In any event, it is for sure that Rod Speed is upside down. His whole shtick
is to call everyone else liars and stupid. Fuckwit is his favorite word.
Hey, if you are not called these words, you must be doing something wrong -
like agreeing him!

Folks, here is what Rod Speed is: He is a god damn fucking asshole-shithead.
He is also an ignorant son of a bitch who doesn't know his ass from a hole
in the ground. Unlike me, he is nothing but a name caller.

He needs to abase himself and abhor all pretense. Yea, only humility will
save him from hubris. Once he becomes humble like me, he will almost be a
human being. But he can never be a Saint, let alone a Great Saint. That is
reserved for the chosen few. In fact, it is only reserved for only one,
i.e., Saint Edward the Great.
