Flonkers, besides being pussies, are lazy. They nearly always use the
same handle. Ego thing. Easy to just delete, whether you use a
filter or not. With a newsreader anyway. Don't know about google.
Once you filter the main assholes, and occasionally add new ones, they
simply disappear from view.
I read ASA, and disagree with salty about what killed that group.
Wasn't flonkers, it was the group members themselves.
The flonkers were easily ignored, as I said above.
Probably got old and quit sailing, so they just started farting all
the time, as oldsters are wont to do.
Same thing here.

If you followed ASA, it was mostly as a lurker. You didn't
participate. You killed it.

Sure I participated. Just wasn't involved in the petty name-calling
threads. That's probably why you don't remember me.

I guess you missed the weeks of floods? Bet you couldn't filter those!

It was no problem just quickly sorting by name, and deleting the
flonkers. 5-10 seconds. Wasn't much left there of course, but some
still talked about sailing. It's was real easy just deleting Bunyip,
Leyland, and a few others I forgot. Here it's Gunner, Cliff, etc.
Like I said, they are easy. Even when they go to the trouble to
change handles. Takes minimal discernment and a few seconds effort.
Flonkers are pussies. Don't know what that makes those who fear them,
but you can extrapolate.
