MODERATOR INFO:

The group is unmoderated.

Just out of curiosity what does a Charter mean for a newsgroup?
There is no way of enforcing it.
People who are going to be ass-holes aren't going to let the charter stop them.

Maybe newbees will see it and that will stop some small proportion from posting FS, etc???

Seems like wishful thinking to me.

These are extremely useful for the anal-retentive.

The (silent) majority of responsible people follow the charter,
notwithstanding the shill rantings of a minority that take delight in
being disruptive. One of the downsides of the Internet is childish
conduct that wouldn't be tolerated in face-to-face communications.

We agree and are praying that you'll change your ways.

Go **** yourself navas. If I ever run into you around the bay area, I
will smack the living crap out of you. That is one promise I intend on
keeping.

In psychology, psychological projection (or projection bias) is a
defense mechanism in which one attributes ("projects") to others, one’s
own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or/and emotions. Projection
reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted subconscious
impulses/desires without letting the ego recognize them. The theory was
developed by Sigmund Freud and further refined by his daughter Anna Freud.

When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by
doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

These types of threats are also ILLEGAL and should be reported to the ISP
and the local Police. They take these types of threats very seriously.
