I used to think that way. Now I think: If someone has to scrape it off their shoe, so be it. Most people will step around it in any case.
At some point, I realised: If I just filter the twit, I can save myself huge amounts of time. If some neophyte replies, one can always straighten him or her out.
Joe has built a career out of publishing outrageous nonsense to provoke his betters into replying. Given that he composes his nonsense mostly with block copy and paste, it takes him no effort. But because what he writes is incoherent, it takes a great deal of effort for anyone to reply coherently.
Most lurkers won't bother to read all of his crap because it is too long and tedious. When lurkers see people reply to his crap as if it were worthy of a reply, they get an incorrect impression. You are just putting in huge amounts of effort to promote this asshole. Why? What's in it for you? Received on Wed Jul 02 2008 - 02:06:22 CEST
