Where did the r.p.c.h+b veterans go?

Rec.pets.cats.health+behav used to have a decent ratio of actual
posters to trolls, but apparently that's flipped with the renewed
energies of psychopaths like cybercat. She's very vocal anonymously,
but I doubt she'd be brave enough to sit down with coffee with me.

Are there any web message boards that have good conversants and decent
advice? Where are y'all going, leaving the rest of us here to fill our
kill-filters with enough trolls as to render the newsgroup useless?

I have many questions I'd rather not pay top-dollar for at the local
vet. This had been a useful newsgroup 'til the trolls took over.

Sadly, that's the way Usenet has been trending. Some of my most
favorite groups have succumbed to troll/spam to the point where
they're unreadable now.

Although I'm an advocate for Usenet in that it was an unfettered
platform for discussion, sociopaths like cybercat have rendered its
usefulness to zero. Sad to see rec.pets.cats fall to the same poison.
I'm sure Cybercat is happy, though she should realize that when she
scares everyone off, she'll have nobody left to torture.

Same as virii in the human body, I guess. Parasites ultimately kill
the host.

You're accessing Usenet via a newsreader, so figure out how to use the
killfiles.

Usenet is not a substitute for actual veterinary advice.

You haven't learned how to filter the chaff, or you're just whining. My bet
is on the whining.

Aww, all that was just to poke at another Usenet poster? GoshDarn! You must
have a real hard-on for her.

Well, you could try growing up and acting like an adult. BTW: what is

As a new poster with a first cat, I have certainly noted the usual
cemplement of nutcases and trolls around here, by Cybercat is not one of
them.

Thank you, Janet. When you get a few more of Brian's contributions, you'll
see why I feel the way I do. Let's see, the last one was, "my cat has a
lump, how can I tell if it is cancer without taking him to the vet, I don't
have any money for a vet."

I recall YEARS of posts in which he detailed the misery of this same cat,
caused by doing a variety of stupid things, including adding cats to the
household in a stupid way. Whether he trolls or not, it has the same effect
on those of us who love cats. This kind of stupidity and neglect might as
well be a troll. In fact I wish it were a troll, then no real cats would be
suffering.

It's "disingenuous".

Thanks Janet - I guess she just has a thing for me. Prolly should just
get a different 'nym.

I've watched previously decent newsgroups be destroyed by a batch of
trolls - the most popular groups first, and gradually more niche
groups like this one. It's the way of the cyber-world, I guess, but
it's sad to think there's no other alternative.

At least I got a few more Plonks out of the replies to this thread.
