WTF happened to this newsgroup?

It was once a nice little group we had, albeit the odd idiot but suddenly we
get VERY abusive towards each other and to the other non Mini related items
such as the "NEW MINI"

Please cant we all just get along like we used to and leave or ignore the
ones that come out with all sorts of abusive context and language that is
totally not needed.

If someone has a beef with someone else then please reply directly to them
and not through the newsgroup?

Just a thought.

We're not at all abusive to each other, only to the usual Trolls that poke
their heads in every so often and BINI owners really aren't welcome here,
but we do tend to politely tell them to go elsewhere such as
alt.autos.new-mini.

I hope you mean people who post questions about BINIs and not BINI owners.
As I own a BINI together with 2 real Minis, to date I have never been
tempted to ask a question about the BINI on this group. (The other one as
well as I already know where the fog light switch is.)

Why stay in it then? f.ck off somewhere else where your infantile comments
will be appreciated. Is there an NG named "alt.idiots"?

Those who post about the new so-called MINI should be advised to go
elsewhere. If they persist, they shoud be kill-filed and ignored. (On
the other hand, it is sometimes fun to play with them and expose the
failings of their pose-mobiles <g>.)

>Please cant we all just get along like we used to and leave or ignore the

Usenet trolls like 'Javriol' should be kill-filed and ignored. If
people feel they must reply, they should at least have the sense to
delete the cross-postings. To do otherwise is to help them in their
objective of disrupting other newsgroups.

>If someone has a beef with someone else then please reply directly to them
>and not through the newsgroup?

Certainly if it is a personal one, yes.... although it's not good
netiquette to reply off group unless invited to do so and the trolls
won't be using real addresses anyway..

>Just a thought.

And welcome. Plenty of good threads about real Minis here, of
course... and if there aren't enough for you, please start some more.

You are a very naughty boy Mark,
you find it so easy to use foul language purely to wind people up,
I am so disappointed that you can't help fix my on topic Mini problem,
because I believe you don't have a clue what I am talking about,
you talk about oral hygiene, that's a laugh,
They wasted a good arse when they put teeth in your mouth

You really go way out there, don't you. What is it you are trying to
say? Possibly too many drugs have affected your brain. Or you were just
born slow.
Please try to make sense next time. Pipes and sh.t, what?
Again, pull your head out of your a.s!

Mark

will show by entering your e mail addresss:

madmaxx@nvbell.net

just what groups you visit, such as alt.smokers.pipes

yawn, you are such a dumb a.s ;-)

You might have also noticed that my smoking reply was on a collectible
pipe that I sold, which I inherited. Also an anti smoking post and a
post on chapped lips.
Smoked a pipe a little in high school...not tobacco though. I also visit
"this" group and I don't have an old mini. I even visit the Lakers
basketball newsgroup and I am not on the Lakers. Again I may be a dumb
a.s, but that would make you a total retard.
You have way too much time on your hands...please wash up after you are
done playing with yourself.

God Marky Boy, first you accuse Steve that "possibly too many drugs have
affected your brain" then you blatantly admit you smoked something other
than tobacco in a pipe?  You really are screwed up mate!

You failed to notice that I was implying that Steve has a mental

somebodys bitch for sure.

Foul mouthed? What the f.ck are you talking about? The only bucket to
take away, is the one full of sh.t and you in it. And any inbred,
backward yank, would still be twice the man of you faggot brits and your
"drag" queen. Why don't all of you little queers take off your dresses
and go f.ck yourselves. Other than that , have a real nice day, sh.t hole.

not 100% sure, its probabaly got a star drive cam, but you could fit any,
just change the oil pump, pin drive, spider drive, star drive refer to the
the end that goes in the pump,  I think a 276 is not to much diffrent from a
standard mg metro cam, a 286 would be more lively,  its probabaly worth
fitting a duplex timing chain & gears while your doing it, what age is the
engine? its probabaly worth getting unleaded exhaust seats put in while your
re building it, or get a stage 3 unleaded head, all pre August 89 engines
are leaded unless already converted, but you can go on & on,

Keep it. Go back to sitting in it.

By the way, if it wasn't for us Yanks, your British national language
would be German. We fought you for "our" rights, and then we fought for
"your" rights. You guys just can't win, unless your hiding under our wings!
Proud to be a Yank, and not a w.nker, like you.

Are you all going to continue throwing crap insults at each other and
factually inaccurate jibes?  Get a grip on yourselves, it's worse than
having teenagers in the house!!

The Muffin Man

BTW, The US joined the allies on 8th Dec in their own right as a retaliation
to a significant event that happened the day before, it just escapes me what
that was.  Perhaps there was a connection between the two?  The US joined
the war in their own right and not to offer shelter to anyone else.  7th Dec
1941, a date that shapes to this day the US's foreign policy.  Speak softly
and carry a big stick...

Thats correct, and we did all the a.s whooping, which ended the war. The
English would still be sipping tea if we didn't step up to the plate.
Of course that is after we had to through their sorry ass's out of our
country, at a much earlier time.

Marky Boy have you already forgotten September 11th 2001?  Which country
pledged to help the USA on the war against terror? Britain!  I have to admit
I was glad we did because the innocent ordinary people that died in the Twin
Towers of the World Trade Centre were not only New Yorkers, there were
people working there from all around the world, yes Britain too!  But since
then I've seen the movie Fahrenheit 911 and it paints a very disturbing
picture of the USA government, basically their all muppets!  I could rattle
on for hours on this subject, but I really don't think Bush cared about the
thousands that died that day (yes we all saw it on TV and it was more
horrific than any big budget block buster movie) but he was in a school
listening to children tell stories when he was told of the news and its
recorded on video camera that he just sat there unfazed!  Any sane person
would have got up, apologized and left to find out what the hell is
happening surely?  Then whilst the collapsed towers and damaged Pentagon
were still smouldering he threw a party at the white house and invited top
heads of state, one of which was a muslim and together they smoked cigars on
the balcony, just what were they celebrating?  Ok our Government isn't
perfect, I was glad the tories went in 1997, but new labour is just new
tory, it's just the same old sh.t and amongst other things we're being
punished as motorists in this country.  But Bush is totally screwed up as ok
they couldn't find Osama, so instead they nailed Saddam, well he may not had
anything to do with 911, but he's sure to have weapons of mass destruction,
perhaps....  and sadly we were stupid enough to help with the invasion of
Iraq and now not only does Britain have a problem with the IRA, but Al Kaida
(whatever their called) attacked us last summer too.

of the USA are even worse than the ww2 nazis, if anyone for 1 miniute thinks
for one miniute they invade countrys for humanitarian reasons open your
eyes!, its for the world conquest & control of oil, lets not forget the
200,000 Jap civilians vaporised in a split second in Hiroshima & Nagasaki,
all inocent murdered by America, look at the Indigiouous population of
America, Red Indians, stolen away from them by people like Madmax,
Afganistan, the worlds no1 producer of opium & heroine, produces 400% more
now than before the Yank invasion, all thanks to the CIA, Madmax, you are so
