No, correct. You are confused, as I explain below.

No, that is NOT an 'exact' description of the feature. And are you
really so ignorant of the distictions between different kidns of
proper noun?

>What should it be called, if not what it is named?

It should be called by the industry standard name for the feature,
which is 'killfile'. Even this is not a completely neutral term, but
it is much closer to neutral than "Bozo Bin", which sounds like the
choice of some really emotionally immature programmer.

one correct thought;)

And as with SO many of the things you 'point out', it is not even
true. The ignorance is yours, since you did not know that the _real_
name for the feature, the industry standard name, is 'killfile'.

>But I digress.

Predictably, too.

You haven't done it yet.

Which is pretty pathetic, since (as I just showed) the ignorance it
illustrates is yours, not mine. So much for _your_ 'thesis'.

>I knew you'd come through for me!

And as with SO many of the things you 'knew', it is not even
true. Again.

>Quod erat faciendum, and thank you very much.

Do you even know what this means? No, that was NOT "quod erat
faciendum", which means "which was the thing to be done". After all,
what was really done, and what was really "the thing to be done"? The
thing to be done was to stick to the topic of the thread, and make a
relevant point. This you did not do. What you did was expose your own
ignorance, not knowing what a 'killfile' is. Nor was this your only
offence against all reason: you said you got to the main point, when
you only continued a different digression.

But all these things you did were very much NOT "the thing to be
done". If you weren't a troll, this would be obvious to you.

Now finally, back to the _real_ topic of this thread, which is baptism
for the forgiveness of sins: have you forgotten what this is about? Do
you really dream that you have the right to scoff so vainly and escape
punishment? You do not, whether you have been already baptised or not.

And do not fool yourself into thinking that by 'punishment', I am
referring to what you experience in this NG. Oh, no. This is only a
hihgly muted foretaste of the real punishment you will face, which is
better described by:

For whoso findeth me findeth life, and obtaineth favour of the
LORD. But he that misseth me wrongeth his own soul; all they that hate
me love death.'  (Pro 8:35-36 JPS)

Stop fooling yourself: false accusations against the Moderator,
whining about alleged double-standards, while you post such childish
'invective' yourself, is _exactly_ the behavior that wrongs your own
soul, and shows your hatred of wisdom and love of death.
