The pure antisemitism gets extremely old.

Have you ever considered bookmarking a couple of neo-Nazi sites, because that's what I felt I was wading through lately with Christian's posts.  That, and post after post of puerile adolescent boasts about sexual prowess.  Yawn.

If you want to read trolling, there's a whole Internet out there for you to enjoy.  I subscribed to this music list to read something about Hawkwind, BÖC, and friends.

Maybe I'm too old-fashioned, Internet-wise, but I fail to see how ranting about jews; urging us to "kill kikes"; and praising the likes of Breivik and Hitler is even 0.00001% on-topic for this list.

That crap has absolutely nothing to do with Hawkwind or BÖC.  If I wanted to read about that sort of nonsense, I'd do it off-list.  I suggest others do the same.

Apparently, we're told it's all supposed to be a joke and people find it funny.

Oh, really?

I've read markov chain generators come up with better output.  Twitter bots are more entertaining.  Both are about as creative as what has vomited across this list as of late.

Christian really needs to change the record.

When he's gone off on a "mail-rampage" people have unsubscribed.  Meanwhile, he stinks up the archives with nonsense and bile.  Great, just great.  Maybe one day he'll learn to self-moderate.  Yeah, fat chance.

Sic Semper Trollannis.

Cheers,

Paul.
