Newsgroup ettiquette

1) Tell everyone the Trolls don't bother you.
2) Say you've killfiled them, yet continue to respond.
3) Tell other people off who repsond despite doing so yourself.
4) Continually talk about Trolls while maintaining
    they're having no effect.
5) Publicly post killfile rules so the Trolls know
    how to avoid them.
6) Make lame legal threats and other barrel scraping
    manoeuvres when your abuse reports are ignored.
7) Eat vast quantities of pies.
8) Forget to brush your teeth for several decades.
9) Help a demon.local poster with their email while
    secretly reading it.
10) Pretend you're a hard *** when in fact you're
    as bent as a roundabout.
11) Become the laughing stock of Usenet like Mabbet
12) Die of old age
13) Keep paying Dr Chartham his fees and hope one day you
    will have a penis the girls can see.

BE WARNED YOU PHUCKERS. I WILL BAR BQ YOUR ASS.

We have received an allegation that you have posted an article/s to
newsgroups demon.local,alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian,talk.politics.animals,
uk.environment.conservation,uk.rec.birdwatching,scot.birds,uk.rec.gardening,
uk.business.agriculture,uk.rec.fishing.coarse,sci.agriculture.poultry
[<kmfdljArhNO5EwYq@4AX.com and others>] which our external solicitors
believe to bear a defamatory meaning and as such we have had to remove
the article from our servers.

The part in question is the comment "Pete is a fraud, a liar and
a cheat." as well as some other comments in your article.

We cannot and do not make any judgement as to whether such material is
defensible. However, the state of the law at the moment means that if
we are put on notice that defamatory material is being published through
our systems, Thus plc may be liable for damages, along with you, if it
does not take action to prevent that material being published. Those
damages could be substantial and we could both incur heavy legal
expenses.

In addition, the current state of the law could leave Thus plc
liable if it failed to take action and you disseminated any further
material through our systems which was later found to be defamatory.

While we do not necessarily agree with the current legal position we
must accept it, and have therefore removed the posting in question.

Please reply to this email acknowledging that you understand the problem
and that you will not, in future, publish further material which
could be considered defamatory of Pete through Demon's systems.

We attach below a suggested form of acknowledgement for your
convenience.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT

I acknowledge receipt of your email and confirm that I understand your
explanation of the legal situation regarding material which is
considered defamatory.

I confirm that I will not publish such material in future using my Demon
service, and will not publish further material which could be considered
defamatory of Pete.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Demon Legal Team.
