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.
Why is Rod Speed worth a FAQ?
You need to brush up on your NetSpeak. Rod most certainly isn't
worth a FUQ in anybody's opinion except his own.
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 "fuck 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 dick 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 "vritual 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?

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.

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 "fuck 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 dick 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 "vritual Rod" which was

Have you thought about the Amish communities? I think they have the

That's true. They are there to suck your blood with dumb speeding

Don't worry, an earthquake gave you back a microsecond or so. Which
tends to indicate that orbital mechanics aren't reliable for keeping
time.
Also that there's no such thing a s a fixed point on this planet (it

Joy of parenthood is a fantasy: Psychologists say cost of children
forces mothers and
fathers to convince themselves it's worthwhile
By Fiona Macrae
Most parents say they wouldn�t have it any other way.
But according to scientists, they would say that, wouldn�t they?
A walk in the park? Children cause parents financial hardship, eat up
their time and cause
untold worry... but mums and dads insist they are worth every penny,
wrinkle and grey
hair... but they would say that according to scientists
Bringing up a child in the 21st century is so expensive parents have no
option but to tell
themselves it is all worthwhile, they say.
In times gone by, there was no need to idealise parenthood because
children would begin
working at an early age and provide for their parents.
But today this �reward� is not as likely. So parents have to invent
other justifications
for the trials of having children, the Canadian researchers say. For
their experiment, the
psychologists gave three groups of parents passages about the economic
cost of parenting
to read.
One group was given sheets that focused on the financial layout and
included a U.S.
government calculation that it costs �120,000, on average, to raise a
child.
Others were given the same figure but told that parents are often more
financially secure
in old age because their children support them.
The remainder read a passage that had nothing to do with costs.
The men and women, who all had at least one child under 18, were then
questioned about how
much they idealised parenting.
They were asked whether they believed it possible to be truly happy
without having
children � and whether parents are happier and more satisfied with their
lives than
childless couples.
Finally, they were asked to rate spending time with their children
against meeting friends
or their partner and how much time they hoped to spend with their
children on their next
day off work.
Those who read about the financial hardship idealised parenting the
most. They were more
likely to say they enjoyed spending time with their children. This group
also said that
they intended to spend more time with their children on their day off,
the journal
Psychological Science reports.
A similar experiment using different parents backed up the theory that
mothers and fathers
idealise parenthood to justify the costs of bringing up a family.
The researchers, from the University of Waterloo, in Ontario, said: �The
motivation to
rationalise the costs of parenting apparently not only increases
parents� idealisation of
parenthood, but also leads them to believe that spending time with their
children is more
rewarding than other activities. This belief then motivates parents to
want to spend more
time with their children.�
They say the belief is likely to have gained currency as parenthood has
become more
costly. Put bluntly, today�s children leave home later and have
expensive tastes � making
it more important for parents to justify their existence.
Cynical as the theory is, it may have its advantages.
Wray Herbert, of the Association for Psychological Science, said: �We
may be uneasy
thinking of our families as dollars and cents but bank accounts don�t
lie. If knowing the
bottom line makes us want to spend more time on kids instead of, say, TV
or golf or work,
that sounds like a healthy bargain for all involved.�
However, Siobhan Freegard, of the parenting advice website Netmums, said
that if
parenthood was as bad as the study suggests, most couples would stop at
one child.

It sounds much better in French, but then, everything does.
