Default How to Get Rid of Bret Ludwig

You can get a person kicked off of Usenet for one of the following
reasons:

-Spamming a newsgroup
-Posting personal information such as social security numbers or
credit card numbers
-Providing links to illegal pornography (heads up, Arny!)
-Making posts filled with hateful or violent content, such as racist
or anti-Semetic comments

Every racist thread, every anti-Semetic post...just report him. If
one person does it, it will probably get ignored. If everyone does,
who knows. I was once threatened by Usenet for dropping an f-bomb.

Ignoring this stupid asshole is futile.

I sincerely doubt this. Who from "Usenet" has ever sent you a message?
It seems more likely that your news service provider contacted you.
AFAIK, there are no actual Usenet restrictions of this type. I could be
wrong, of course!

Since hate speech is protected by the Constitution, I don't see why usenet
would prohibit it. B ut in any case, there is no usenet central authority.
There are only news providers.

Exactly.

Well, not really - you can sometimes get people kicked off their ISP,
but usenet is something else completely.

Most who do get dumped from an ISP just sign up with another and keep
going. Ludwig is plenty annoying and an interesting problem though:
unless I'm mistaken, he's stated publically that he is posting this
drivel so that it's preserved in the google archive, not to foster
discussion or argument.

I'm really uncertain as to the best way to deal with him. There are a
few possibilities: one could ridicule him, attempt to turn him into a
source of amusement.

Perhaps it might help to report him to his ISP. I don't think that will
get much traction though.

Alternatively, one could spend a lot of time and energy refuting the
nonsense he posts. I know I certainly don't have the time or interest to
invest in that, but fully applaud anyone who does put some energy into
that.

Or, like Bob says, just ignore him. I don't know if that will help or
not, but I'm tempted to just killfile him so I don't see any of his
posts. Perhaps it's a bit self-serving, but at that point he no longer
exists from my perspective, and I kind of like that thought.

The only problem with killfiles and filters is that they only really
work when everyone else complies as well. There have been many times
in the past when I've killfiled people, only to see a complete record
of their shenanigans because everyone else is still responding. Right
now, for instance, I wouldn't know that Arny existed if it wasn't for
the others here.

This is a good point - but some newsreaders will allow you to do more
sophisticated killfiles that will block any thread that the offender
participates in.

Although really, the traffic levels in rao are low enough that it's
pretty easy to skip offending posts without killfiles.


Well, that's the easy solution. Still, it's kind of a drag when you
pull up the list of RAO topics, and the last 20 or so are all Ludwig,
combined with some Chinese firm trying to sell sneakers. It's extra
work just to get to the very few relevant topics posted.

-Spamming a newsgroup


Based on personal observation, one would have to spam a large number of
newsgroups repeatedly to actually get kicked off by your ISP. We're talking
something far more serious than anything that Bret has done.

As usual, Marc's posting trash.

-Posting personal information such as social security
numbers or credit card numbers


You might get someone's ISP to drop them for this reason, but they'll just
sign up with some other ISP.

As usual, Marc's posting trash/

-Providing links to illegal pornography (heads up, Arny!)


As usual, Marc's posting trash

-Making posts filled with hateful or violent content,
such as racist or anti-Semetic comments


Covered by the first amendment unless its something like a death threat.

It's the only thing that could possibly work. But, everybody has to do it,
not just one person.

But Marc, since you have proven that you yourself lack the maturity and
self-control to ignore anybody, you are your own worst enemy.

There aren't, the only restrictions are those imposed by the
individual nntp service and you still have to get them to enforce their
TOS. The only entity that could have contacted him with what he uses
now would be AOL or Google. Google doesn't contact you, they either
ignore the problem or they terminate the login. AOL rarely did anything
when they did offer Usenet access, now when you access groups through
someone else they see it as that services problem not theirs.

Since I do not advocate or condone illegal or violent acts and indeed
do not "spread hate" I am protected by the First Amendment in the US.



Something to consider, something we had a lot of trouble beating
into the head of AOL lusers back in the day; my server, my rules.
Basically the US Constitution does not apply here, if you access a group
through *my* server and I do not like what you do/say I can boot you
off. Since it is my privately owned server it's my way or the highway,
follow my Terms of Service or find another host. For some reason people
in AOL chat rooms thought that the first amendment covered their Phil
Allison like tirades. I'll reiterate that the biggest part of the battle
is getting the admin to enforce the ToS.

Buzzard news being a prime example as well as Highwinds who is their

And that changes the fact that I once had AOL say that I violated my

go back into Google and find my original post...it was back in 1999 or
so. Funny thing, back then, a bunch of people on RAO said things like
"It happens all the time" or "Don't worry about it." Now, in 2008,
there's a handful of people saying "Bull****!" I'm sorry, but yes,
you look really stupid. You look stupid for singling this out. We're
talking about Ludwig, and you have to desperately look at something I
said and focus on it. You look like Arny, posting hopelessly about
nothing because you're licking your wounds.

Neither AOL nor Google care whether you use "****" or not.

Not anymore, I guess. I haven't heard back from AOL ever again.
Maybe it was a old policy, and you don't know about it because you
were still in diapers at the time.

Look
at your buddy Phil.


I don't know who you're talking about.

Go ahead and send abuse reports to AT&T until they

Oh wait, you don't have

Don't need one. I'm not an Intertard.

Well you can get them free and use a free server. Oh wait,
you don't have a *real* ISP.


Again, I'm not an Intertard. I don't stay up nights thinking of ways
to make my life on the Internet more exciting.

D'oh!! I guess you're screwed....

No, you're screwed. You're living your life as an Intertard, and you
think you're somehow cool. I've been hanging out with famous
musicians all week. You've been hanging on to your keyboard, praying
for the loneliness to end.

[snip]

And it happened to me once also, though it was quickly cleared up.

Let's pull together on this one. You guys may not like each other, but we're
grappling with real evil. We're all in the same boat. Let's pull together.


It's more than that, Bob. It's the craziness that comes with spending
your life on the Internet. It's the inability to converse in a normal
or meaningful manner. If I was wrong to say that Usenet threatened
me, it could have been quickly cleared up with a couple of exchanges
(like Jen was trying to do). I'll be the first to admit that I
phrased it wrong. I received an e-mail from AOL saying that I had
violated my TOS because of a Usenet-generated complaint. If I was
talking to normal people, that would be that. But looking at the
responses from Windsor Fox and Arny, I am again reminded of how creepy
and ****ed-up these morons are, and how they've lost touch with the
real world.

It's also funny how both of them have again revealed themselves to be
complete morons by coming to the aid of Ludwig. Again, if reporting
someone to their ISP no longer works, then so be it. I could care
less. It's amazing to watch people like Arny and Windsor Fox respond
the way they did, because it's clear that important things, like the
quality of their lives, no longer matter.

Arny's a guy who has hung around for more than a decade in a place
where most people despise him and think he's a sick, twisted
sociopath. NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOR. Bret Ludwig floods an audio
newsgroup with OT posts that reflect his aberrant political views,
despite the fact that no one responds to him seriously. NOT NORMAL
BEHAVIOR. And Windsor Fox believes the way to win an argument is to
trick someone into cross-posting into a different group, and to post
in a nonsense code that only other Intergeeks understand. NOT NORMAL
BEHAVIOR.

This people are genuinely crazy. It nauseates me to have contact with
them.

there's a handful of people saying "Bull****!" I'm sorry, but yes,
you look really stupid. You look stupid for singling this out. We're
talking about Ludwig, and you have to desperately look at something I
said and focus on it. You look like Arny, posting hopelessly about
nothing because you're licking your wounds.



No sir, the fact is that you are the one looking ignorant right now,
I never have. You've always been the one looking like a doof slinging
what you thought were some kind of cutting remark about computer gaming
when in actuality it was mostly ill fitting, nonsensical gibberish. You
sit there calling my post exactly what you did to me. Pick out something
I said and focus on it. The difference is when it comes to my posts
about you, I actually know what I am talking about, unlike your posts
about computer games. You actually think you embarrassed me? I AM a PC
gamer, hard core, damn good and proud of it though it's only one slime
facet to my life. You are like a dove, you sing eloquently and look good
doing it, but just not the brightest bird on the tree.



Neither AOL nor Google care whether you use "****" or not.

Not anymore, I guess. I haven't heard back from AOL ever again.
Maybe it was a old policy, and you don't know about it because you
were still in diapers at the time.


I was running organized chats on AOL before you knew what Usenet
was, I was dialing into AOL before it was called AOL, probably before
you knew what a PC was. I had a bang path before you knew what email
was. I just USUALLY don't indulge pigeons like yourself with info as
it's generally a waste of time.


Look
at your buddy Phil.


I don't know who you're talking about.

Go ahead and send abuse reports to AT&T until they
block you as a ko0k, but until he gets really abusive and starts nym
shifting to avoid your filters (you DO have him filtered, right??) they
aren't going to do anything past sending a boiler plate reply telling
you to add a filter for him in your news reader.


You sound like an Intertard here. I could care less about reporting
someone.



Yeah, the guy on AOL posting through Google who "got a warning from
'the Usenet" referring to ANYone else on the Internet as an Internet
tard is pretty rich. Perhaps you meant you could not care less? If you
could not care less why did you make that frustrated sounding post
telling everyone they should LART Brett for making off topic posts. Talk
about running in circles....


Oh wait, you don't have
a newsreader.


Don't need one. I'm not an Intertard.


Tell the truth, you can't figure it out. In actuality, you ARE an
"Intertard" by your own admission.


Well you can get them free and use a free server. Oh wait,
you don't have a *real* ISP.


Again, I'm not an Intertard. I don't stay up nights thinking of ways
to make my life on the Internet more exciting.

D'oh!! I guess you're screwed....

No, you're screwed. You're living your life as an Intertard, and you
think you're somehow cool. I've been hanging out with famous
musicians all week. You've been hanging on to your keyboard, praying
for the loneliness to end.


The tard is the one who can't even figure out how an NNTP client
works. I know more than most because it's part of my job, but even
people who spend less than an hour a week online are capable. Hell, my
92 year old grand mother uses Thunderbird. Trying to disguise your

Hell, my

Nope. You're a tard because you've made this your life. You're a
tard because you try to judge others based on their knowledge of
computers. You're a tard because your personal values and beliefs no

You go and hang with your musicians, I'll hang with

(310) 237-6511



Sorry Bob, Bret's posts don't bother me. I find Boon and the middius
more offensive by starting new threads for the purpose of verbally
berating individuals for different reasons. Admittedly it just makes
them look silly but I would venture to say that, as someone else said it
is probably the major reason there is hardly anyone here anymore. Some
of his content I agree with, much of it I do not, the naked truth is
that *I* rarely have the patience to read posts as long as what his are
so I really don't know much about what his posts consist of. There is
some guy in ott.general who says the Holocaust is a figment of peoples
imagination. What are you going to do? Either have the cods to ignore
it, make snippy replies, or drop him into your twit filter and move on.
People using Google to read Usenet have no place to complain, Usenet was
not meant for nor is it conducive to a web interface.

It's more than that, Bob. It's the craziness that comes with spending
your life on the Internet. It's the inability to converse in a normal
or meaningful manner. If I was wrong to say that Usenet threatened
me, it could have been quickly cleared up with a couple of exchanges
(like Jen was trying to do). I'll be the first to admit that I
phrased it wrong. I received an e-mail from AOL saying that I had
violated my TOS because of a Usenet-generated complaint. If I was
talking to normal people, that would be that. But looking at the
responses from Windsor Fox and Arny, I am again reminded of how creepy
and ****ed-up these morons are, and how they've lost touch with the
real world.



Kind of like your posts about myself and computer games? Do you not
see the PKB there? If you hadn't made post after post trying to convince
all four people here that I'm an idiot My reply would more likely have
consisted of less pointing. But you are ALWAYS goign to get yakked on
for using AOL and Google. Live with it.


It's also funny how both of them have again revealed themselves to be
complete morons by coming to the aid of Ludwig. Again, if reporting
someone to their ISP no longer works, then so be it. I could care
less. It's amazing to watch people like Arny and Windsor Fox respond
the way they did, because it's clear that important things, like the
quality of their lives, no longer matter.



You mean could not care less, one has to assume. I never defended
anything about his posts. I pointed out that LARTs will go un-acted
upon, you just didn't like the way I said it. The 'tude you received
resembles that which I received. Notice how I respond to Arny. You may
call that defending. I call it treating him with the same amount of
respect he gives me. See the pattern there "sparky?"


Arny's a guy who has hung around for more than a decade in a place
where most people despise him and think he's a sick, twisted
sociopath. NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOR. Bret Ludwig floods an audio
newsgroup with OT posts that reflect his aberrant political views,
despite the fact that no one responds to him seriously. NOT NORMAL
BEHAVIOR. And Windsor Fox believes the way to win an argument is to
trick someone into cross-posting into a different group, and to post
in a nonsense code that only other Intergeeks understand. NOT NORMAL
BEHAVIOR.


No no, that wasn't for the win, that was just funny. And shows the
lack of knowledge (no matter how simplistic it may be) of the person
referring to others as idiots. It's like walking up to someone on the
street wearing a shirt you don't llike and yelling to the world "look at
that hiddeous shirt! This guy HAS to be an IDIOT!!" Then using the
surprised look on his face as proof of idiocy.


This people are genuinely crazy. It nauseates me to have contact with
them.


Then I suggest you leave Usenet all together because your
sensibilities are far too fragile to be here. I also built and race a
Mustang, does that make me "genuinely crazy" as much as being Internet
savvy? So, in your world the only "cool" people are the ones who are
totally computer illiterate, but know how to write reviews (which I've
done as well) and hang around musicians as the exclusive activities for
a given week? Good god if that's the good life just shoot me now....

But there's the point. Different people do different ****, and yours
ain't no cooler than mine to a lot of people.

Please feel free to rant and call me an idiot even more, or be grown up
about it and make accurate points.

So are you even able to make a point without making a personal
attack? All because you don't like what I said? It's a fact that in the
US the posts you refer to are not illegal. Whether you like it or not it
is highly unlikely that your complaint will get any farther than the bot
that made the boiler plate reply. And he is more you're going to
dislike. I have had Google accounts removed and I have had posts removed
from the archive, when done there is nothing in place to stop the person
from making a new Google account and posting it all over again. All this
**** you're talking about, I've already got the t-shirt. Keep
complaining, but seriously don't expect anything to happen. That way if
it does you win a prize!

If you could you would have. please, by all means explain what I do
not get. You compare what you do in a given week to what you *think* I
do in a given week and I am insane? Tell me what I should admit that I
am wrong about, If I am inaccurate some how I will admit it. See the
shoe is on the other foot now, I could go into all the personal attacks
like you did, but I'll refrain. How about admit you are wrong in your
accusations? Please point out the "****ed upness" of my perspective, I'm
game. My only perspective in replies to you in the last week have been
wondering why you think making assertions about who and what I am based
on a few tid bits you got from here, personal attacks, name calling are
either necessary or in some way make you look good or me bad. All this
talk of insanity makes me wonder about you, since you seem to be the one
attacking numerous people, not I.

Perhaps you can reply to this with out name calling or assuming you
know all about what I do and where I go?

For what it's worth I asked the admin of the news server I use to
look at 2-3 of Bret's posts and assume one to three people complained.
He said he would be warned once and then tossed if he failed to comply.
BUT this person values quality over quantity. AT&T and Google don't
really care. I can show you some posts that are FAR more abusive than
anything you have seen in this group, even more than those toward you in
the past. Google has done a wonderful job of ignoring complaints.

accusations? Please point out the "****ed upness" of my perspective, I'm

wondering why you think making assertions about who and what I am based
on a few tid bits you got from here, personal attacks, name calling are
either necessary or in some way make you look good or me bad. All this
talk of insanity makes me wonder about you, since you seem to be the one
attacking numerous people, not I.

� � Perhaps you can reply to this with out name calling or assuming you
know all about what I do and where I go?


At this point, I'm really not reading your posts. Again, on a very
basic level you don't seem to be understanding what I'm telling you.

A perfunctory glance tells me that you're in the "Why do you need to
attack me" phase. This is a typical response from an Intertard,
showing a total lack of self-awareness and accountability. You've
always started the animosity between us, yet you get all freaked out
and defensive when you realize that I can make you look ridiculous at
will. Why else would you trick me into crossposting to
alt.****nozzles? It's because when we go toe to toe, you always wind
up looking like a petulant teenaged computer geek who can't understand
why having all the 'puter knowledge in the world doesn't make him
popular.

You even misunderstood what an Intertard is. It isn't someone who
doesn't understand how the Internet works (which is a vast majority of
the population...let's face it, it's not that interesting of a
subject). It's an idiot savant like you who places a lot of
importance on knowing these things, and tries to judge others based
upon their ignorance of the subject.

I've admitted many times on this forum that I don't know about these
things. I need to know just enough to get my work done. Beyond that,
there are more interesting things to know. If you do this for a
living, great. You need to know these things. But when you behave in
the way that you do (or Arny does, or Bret does), I can only assume
that you have no outside life, you have no real friends. The Internet
is your life. And it depresses me to walk among you three.

Because I could. it's always fun to show the guy calling other
people idiots, that he is as big of an idiot as anyone he's yelling at.
You need to attack people to make yourself feel better. That's clear.
You can't avoid it, you can not do anything about it. You are helpless
to your disease. Oh, you're reading, you're just having trouble replying
because you have to work in a way to poke and berate and it's hard to
find. You are doing what you attempt to attack me for doing.

I may be abrasive, but I do not start threads to call people names
like a 3rd grader.

Thank you. That was a very informative post. It answered my original
question. Now, if you had made the post in response to my original
post, you wouldn't have had to get all bent out of shape.


You mean *you* wouldn't have gotten bent. You got bent because you
are and idiot compared to the people you call idiots. That's what
happens when you choose victims unwisely. Especially on the Internet,
there are people here who can change where your posts go, sometimes
permanently.


It's like that poor dumb Dizzy ******* a few weeks back. He had to
call me a pothead a half dozen times before he could spit out why
disagreed with my views on bend radii in cables. Then he accused me
of having to have the last word. After a few more posts, he finally
mentioned that he was an EE (more Internet bull****, BTW). If he had
done that in the beginning, we might have had a nice informative chat
about the subject. But no, he had to be an Intertard.



No you would still have found a reason to attack him. You can't help
yourself. You think you are better smarter and more correct than anyone
else. Now *THAT* is a mental deformity.


I'll be more than happy to admit I'm wrong about something, especially
if it's about computers. I've done it countless times. But if you're
an asshole about it, I'll ****ing bury you every time.



You only bury yourself. You look like the childish fool you are and
got ****ed when it was proven. "Oh poor pitiful little me, the mean man
made me post where I belong." You spend just as much of your life in
this place as you so boldly accuse me of and act as if I'm a lesser
person for it. The insanity is yours and always will be. The people
laughing at you in AF and AUK are just itchy waiting for me to cross
post you so they can pounce. I don't want to run that load of havoc on
this group.

Hehe. Is that moron still hurting over the spanking that I gave him?
It's his own fault that he made his idiotic statements, false
accusations, and his subsequent self-humiliation with his pathetic,
embarrassing attempt to save face by accusing me of making imaginary
errors. I finally just let him have the last word (unread), as I knew
he'd just continue to pull **** out of his ass and claim that I didn't
"get" it, just like he claimed that I didn't "get" something about
bending wires. Ooohhh, bending wires - what a difficult, unknown
thing for an adult to "get".

He's got some kind of mental deformity, that's for certain...

Oh, and I do have an EE degree. 8)

Actually, my last word was to say I would have been more than happy to
discuss the subject with you, but you were more concerned with calling
me a pothead. Sorry, but real engineers don't think like that.

Yeah..it's from listening to too many anonymous Internet assholes make
unsubstantiated claims about their accomplishments in the real world.

Bull****. You don't talk like an engineer, you don't reason like an
engineer. The real reason you didn't respond to me was that it was a
matter of time before everyone else realized it, too.

I have a proposal. Consider the following two statements:

IF I DO NOT have an EE degree, then I am an idiot, an asshole, and a
liar.

IF I DO have an EE degree, then YOU are an idiot, an asshole, and a
pathetic loser.

I accept and agree-with the above two statements. Do you?

Apparently he doesn't like being called a pothead. I think you may
have hit the nail on the head with that one though.

Those statements are not logical. First of all, three out of the four
terms are subjective and cannot be proven. Neither are they
exclusive. Not very precise thinking from an EE. Besides, I'm
starting to think you may be an EE, but just an incompetent one. See
how the truth exists in shades of grey now?

Here's the facts: you had a chance to display your knowledge and you
declined. Any engineer worth his salt would have stood up and stated
his case briefly without having to make a half dozen drug references
first. Now you're using typical Internet asshole tactics to try to
weasel out, most notably obfuscation and projection. For instance, I
really can't have the last word if you've never said anything of
substance in the first place.

You may or may not be an EE. Let's just say for now that you're a
really bad one.

I accept and agree with the above two statements. Do you?

Is that why you flew off the handle when I called you an Intertard?
