Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / March 2006cancer patients and/or loved ones - blocking...
Hello readers of alt.support.cancer Last December one troll posted "George Orwell" He asked a "what is this - does it sound like cancer" ( type question) and one of the regulars did not notice his headers. (which says "dizum" in it). Dizum is a newserver that trolls often use. Around the same time, a female posted that she had cancer, also with "dizum" in it. If I recall, I replied to her, maybe others did too. I don't know if she was a troll (or not) and have lost her post. Around the same time, "Twisty Creek" posted, showed "anonymous remailer" in the headers.. Everyone ignored it. I call them "its" because they could be male or female. I've just replied to someone called "Hidden Identity" (Singapore) - may or may not be a troll. 'Nomen Nescio" and "George Orwell" obviously have a vendetta against maryanne. One or both have posted their garbage posts to numerous newsgroups, for years (about maryanne) including troll and "anon" newsgroups. So God only knows who else (troll) could show up on (target) this newsgroup. For now, the following are the 3 to ignore. if you can filter posters, instructions are here http://www.hyphenologist.co.uk/killfile/killfilefaqhtm.htm I'm showing you their info (below) in case you can copy and paste that into your filter definitions, in your newsreader. Some of you know the shortcuts to "plonk" a poster (with your newsreader). I can filter just on the name (no email address required), but it has to be copied exactly, as below. Some newsreaders software may require both the posting name and the posting email address. Google readers/posters - if you want to see headers of questionable posts, click on "Show Options", then select "show original". There's a way to do such in Outlook as well. Nomen Nescio nobody@dizum.com Hidden Identity hidden@dragon.com Twisty Creek anon@comments.header Most newsreader filters, can filter words in the body of the text, of a message. I've posted a place where maryanne can get support. Hopefully she's doing so. So I would suggest (until these trolls understand that maryanne's not here anymore and that we're not interested in what they have to write), that you also filter maryanne and kehoe So (by filtering) those could (potentially) automatically "block" (delete or mark as read) any posts, that any troll may come here to post about maryanne. If a new maryanne shows up, I'll ask such person to change their screen name. You're all doing real good at not replying to those posts. I know some of you cannot "block" posts. Pretend you can. The most important thing is to continue posting here, if you're a cancer patient (or loved one). Otherwise, if you don't, it will end up just trolls posting. Just "walk around" them (ignore their posts), just as you would walk around someone unsavoury on the sidewalk, out there in real life. But do post, otherwise they've achieved what they hope to accomplish. Just ignore (or block) the questionable posts.

You referenced the Dizum account/address and that is what I posted to in an earlier post. (I am thisclose to getting a court order in the Netherlands to force Dizum to turn over any and all info as to who is posting thru that account. I can't say too much here but I can mention that.) OK, off to catch up on the postings, have a great week everyone!

Dear J, the previous my message was all joke from start to end. I didn't put :) signs anywhere. Alas, my English is still not so powerful to joke without neccesity to caution ":)" that it is mere joke. Second, may be it was not enough humorous too; And that's me who is mumbling in my mind these days to write some day astonishing novel of XXI century by the name "G-Tube Restaurant". :) > Is for me, but the enlargement tells me that must use certain > browsers for best view of AOL photos and mine's not included, in > their list. Actually it's so combersome anything that you want to do on AOL. I could not align the photo well, I could not see anything when you click on it as if to enlarge. If not inertia, I would change the AOL long ago. >> c. After all, my eyes brown or dark. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > I meant to tell you to hold onto hope (that your cancer has been > cured). Hugs, dear J. ((((J))))). You may be one of my invisible angel of kindness. Though didn't get again the connection with eye color :) What about the hope, "wait and see", I learned that long-long ago, when I was child. What we learned in schools - Forget about enough food and cloths. We are building communism and then, O, then! And many of the people who passed through the Soviet ideology, intuitively thought "Today is not important; tomorrow will be better". So if not anything else, my hope, my endurance first of all may come from that, who knows. I learned in these groups the other way : "One day at a time". Now I think that's the only way to walk through this all. Thank God every day; almost every day; as sometimes you can't keep your emotions and cry "why me? why me?"; "Isn't it enough?" Then, a little bit good news or feeling or more hope and again blessing the whole World. > J SignatureRegards, Araik Margarian http://journals.aol.com/aramargar1/MyAmericanDream/ > Dear J, the previous my message was all joke from start to end. > I didn't put :) signs anywhere.

And thanks for explaining (above). Now about the brown eyes. I had seen your photo. It's in black and white and greys. So later, when I was thinking about you, I saw (in my mind) brown eyes. So when I was replying to one of your posts, I was going to write "hello, brown eyes", but then I looked again at the photo (to doublecheck) and thought "where did I get brown eyes from ?" I don't know, so I asked you, because it's not clear to me, when I look at your photo. So now I can call you brown eyes? :) pssssst...<I think we're both losing it...mumbling> :) > What about the hope, "wait and see", I learned that long-long ago, when I > was child. > What we learned in schools - Forget about enough food and cloths.
