Howard,
The main problem here is not Troll-boy, but all the others that can't
resist playing with him. This tolerance for bad behavior is what's killing
this group. Nobody should even be reading Troll-boy's posts, let alone
respond to them. But some people here are just self destructive. They
ignore the future fallout from their equally bad behavior and want the "fun"
of playing Troll games NOW and damn the consequences. Shame on them.
Just remember, however, that when these losers force you to leave, they
win. I refuse to give them that satisfaction.
rec.models.railroad is the last bastion of as-close-to free speech as
can be found on the internet. There's no moderators to please, no corporate
suits that can shut it down because we don't toe the company line, no
advertizers can bring pressure to get a thread deleted. Remember when MR
got rid of the free show schedule listings? I posted on the MR Forum a
while back saying, "Thanks for nothing, Kalmbach!" and my post and the
entire thread was deleted...not locked, deleted. Is this what we want the
future of free speech on the internet to be? So I'll put up with the BS for
r.m.r's freedom. It's a small price to pay for me.
The only way to stop someone is to get one's ISP involved. For example,
e-mail the abusive postings from Troll-boy with full headers to his ISP's
abuse dept., complete with copies of his TOS/AUS agreement and ask that they
cancel his account. They may, they may not. But it beats the "I'm taking
my toys and going home" version.
Or at the very least, ask yourself this: "When was the last time I
started a good model railroading thread on r.m.r?" The group is only as
good as what's posted. You want more MR content? Post some.
And ignore the Trolls.

Funny, when I post something similar to this I get attacked by Mr.
Newton who calls me crybaby and censor.
:-)
And Curt-ass is so fired up by now that he is happily having
conversations with himself using all those names he created. I checked
the headers and found at least 3 names pointing back to him. I did
contact google-groups but they were not much help (as they don't
consider his posts SPAM). Too bad...

hilarious.
HA! You think McCain will win? Rudy is no great shakes either.
Now John Edwards...that guy is got what it takes to pull 'merica back
from being Most Hated nation...
If'n he had the support of a conservative congress he wouldn't
have needed to use back-door methods. We could have simply used
a few hundred surplus nukes to build a sea-level canal right
thru the middle of them.
