Bingo! I don't care what Trevor has to say about electronics, "as
long

hasn't, he's used aus.electronics to launch another tirade about guns
and gun owners. Other posters seem to think that's OK, I don't. Other
posters seem to think I and others shouldn't have right of reply on
the same forum, I do.
What makes you think that you have a "Right of reply" in a totally
disinterested forum? If you were walking past some-one's house an
heard
them expressing opinions contrary to yours, do you think that you
would
have the right to go in and give your "Right to reply"?
We're not in someone's house, the comments have been "broadcasted" if
you like, on a public forum.
I understand that some of you believe Trevor has the right to post
whatever lies he likes aboiut guns and gun owners on aus.electronics,
like his claims about gun dealers using gunshows to avoid complying
with GCA 68 and selling guns to criminals, and any contrary opinion
has no right to be heard here, I don't agree with you.
This forum has been used to diseminate misleading assertions about
guns and gun owners.
Trevor launched his rant, my replies have demonstrated
a) Trevor has a history of telling porkies on firearms related
matters, when he gets spanked for doing so on gun related groups, he
scurries away to other groups, hoping that no-one there will know
enough about the subject to challenge him; and;
b) anti-gun zealots like Trevor often have no idea what they're
talking about on the subject of firearms, and simply rely on
community
fear and ignorance.
Like Tommy, while Trevor continues to use off topic groups to
diseminate misleading information about guns and gun owners among the
wider community, I wont be far away.
Like it or lump it, either way, I'm past caring
So why are you telling us this then? Why not just go back to
politics.guns or wherever you came from and tell people who care?
Because Trevors spreading his lies HERE!-
So answer him HERE! Just stop spreading your arguments where they aren't
wanted.


But it's OK for Trevor to spread his assertions on the subject here?

If he is arguing about the politics of gun ownership then this is the
correct place for him to do so. If you wish to discuss aspects of
electronic design, I would expect you to do so in aus.electronics rather
than here. If you want to argue with Trevor about guns do it here, if
you want to argue with him about electronics do it there.
Sure, and once you get Trevor to limit his comments about guns and such
like to the appropriate newgroup(s) then no one will have any problems
keeping it out of an electronics newsgroup. However, if he brings up the
subject of guns there.....well he picked the battleground. Maybe you
should take up his choice of battleground with Trevor and get on his
case when he starts getting off topic.....or does that make too much sense?

As a side question - would you be whining and cross posting if he was

Someone with a history of posting untrue garbage on unrelated groups
in an attempt to vilify those who have done him no wrong? As Wilson
has previously done on both rec.audio.opinion and aus.hi-fi as well as
aus.electronics? Someone who repeatadly treats those who disagree with
him with contempt? Someone who point blank refuse to provide cites for
his claims like the time he provided a "cite" of "www.google.com" or
deliberately provides erroneous cites, like the time Wilson claimed
the FBI-UCR for 1976-86 were available on the FBI website? The answer
to your question is "Very likely".

our
working ng's by crossposting irrelevant topics.

You're on record as having asked **Trevor not to post OT ?


Of course not, what a silly question, Trevor's one of their long
standing and most venerated posters

Then it mustn't have come up about **Trevor's belief that
obtaining or possessing inanimate objects like Electronic smoke
alarms, Electronic fire control systems or fire extinguishers means you
are a pyromaniac in self denial and want to start fires.

You don't have an electronic smoke alarm unless you intend to use it.

We're arguing with Trevor on aus.electronic BECAUSE he is posting his

I think that you are just using this as an excuse, when I look back
through the NG messages (back to feb) I see no such messages from him.
Is it just that he has recently annoyed your mate John and he took it on
himself to spread the argument.
Alright, I'll do a deal with you. Wanker Wilson used aus.electronics
as a forum to launch an attack on guns and gun owners, as he had
previously done on both rec.audio.opinion and aus.hi-fi. The material
posted in response to this demonstrates that Wilson often tells
porkies about firearms related matters and the anti-gun lobby in
general often it wrong. If you're prepared to tell Wilson to keep his
his anti-gun rethoric off aus.electronics, I'm prepared to walk away.

If Wilson continues to use aus.electronics as a vehicle to launch his
anti-gun tirades, all bets are off.

As far as I can see, looking through this NG, Trevor doesn't have a

Have you said the same thing to Trevor about his comments regarding
American gun dealers, DGU's and "psychopaths in the talk.politics.guns

Nope, by your own admission, Trevor has only posted such a message there
once and it was very properly ignored. What gives you the idea that the
aus.electronics posters are encouraging him? The whole thing would have
gone away if you had enough common sense to leave well alone. As it
stands, you have annoyed a whole bunch of people, and every time you
cross post another message there you annoy more. All you have achieved
is to swell the size of various killfiles and guarantee less votes for
the shooters party. I guess you'd have to call the whole exercise as
completely futile.
So, it's OK for an anti-gun zealot like Wilson to makes his remarks
about guns and gun owners on aus.electronics, but the alternaie view
is not welcome. I don't think I've cost The Shooter's Party any votes
at all, you're minds were made up well before Wilson posted his
"normal people" rant. Responding to anti-gun zealots is never futile,
and as for posting in a forum where the anti view is welcomed but the
pro view is not, again, highlighting prejudice is always worthwhile.

It is true, if you don't believe me, go check, Or I can paste it to

Others on aus.electronics are not responsible for what Wilson posts,
however, as Wilson choose to use aus.electronics as a vehicle to

to reply on the same forum?
Hell no. If someone in one of the gun groups decided to mouth off about
something relating to electronics, would you want us to drown the gun
groups in tirades against that person? At the very least, I doubt that
you'd be interested in the resulting thread.

Without those replies, people's opinions
on this subject are formed solely on the rants of this zealot, rather
than hearing both sides of this debate.
You clearly have a low opinions of peoples' ability to make up their own
minds.

Where other posters on aus.electronics are at fault, is that they're
quite happy to have Wilson post his off topic, anti-gun rants here,
That's a big assumption. Speaking for myself - & probably many others in
aus.electronics - I skipped over the Taser thread because I'm profoundly
uninterested in the pro/anti gun debate. Yes, I have my opinions on the
topic, but they're not on the pro or anti side, & they're totally
off-topic for aus.electronics. In the unlikely event that I develop an
interest in either side of the debate, I'll sub to one of the relevent
newsgroups.

but object strongly when an alternative opinion is posted. That one
sided view of what consitutes reasonable or on topic posts on
aus.electronics leads those who have observed or been invloved in the
gun debate for some time to see this as unfair. There's no point
arguing with those who are quite happy to see anti-gun posts on
aus.electronics, but object when a pro-gun (for want of a better term)
post appears, they've already formed their view on the gun "debate"
You're missing the point, which is that, IMHO, most of the posters here
either couldn't care less about the issue, or simply aren't interested
in arguing about it.

In summary; the guy xposting stuff between here & the gun groups is
being a dickhead, & you won't score any points with anyone by being just
as big a dickhead.

It is very much something to do with other aus.electronic posters,
when Wilson posts his anti-gun garbage, like his normal people"
comments of his lies about US gun dealers, and you people support his
right to make those comments, but then sook like litle girls when an
alternative view is posted.

It is absolutely nothing to do with other aus.electronic posters
and none of them care in the least about your rants.

If they don't care....then you can stop whining about it.

Otherwise, I suggest you take it up with Trevor, he picked the
battleground

:)

What a pathetic whining little bunch of 9 year olds you are - "He
started it mister, it isn't our fault"


Well, I didn't want to be the one to say that about you, but I'm happy
to see you can admit it.
that reply makes no sense at all, although it does sound rather childish.
