[net.suicide] Drivel in this group - FLAME

majka (03/14/83)

Hellfire and brimstone! <Flame on>

Might I suggest that those twizzel-brains who frequent this news group for
the purposes of:

  (1) hurling juvenile insults at one another, or
  (2) speculation about the true sex/identity of one another, or
  (3) sticking pins in rabbit!bimbo
  
move it SOMEWHERE ELSE!  May I suggest net.voodoo?

The drivel that passes by my terminal every day, as I try honestly to find
anything of VALUE in this group makes me ill.  Perhaps, as someone recently
suggested, net.suicide is committing meta-suicide bye drowning itself in the
garbage that it produces.  In that case may it go quickly!  

Deathly serious,
Marc Majka

Since it has been suggested that this newsgroup might contain something
of value, (and I and several others (bimmler, lucius, Trebor Peak,
etc.) don't actually believe that), just what is it that this newsgroup
offers (other than black humor)?  I am also deadly serious, and I hope
this discussion takes place mostly on the net so as to clarify the
issue to the poor readers who apparently don't like our senses of humor
(such as they are).

I don't know about the preferences of other newsgroup readers, but I read
this newsgroup in search of morbid humor and morbid tales.  The "uncola"
articles, for instance, fit both categories.
