OT: Another Win7 Question

For the stated reason. I'm somewhat of an amateur psychologist and like to test my observations and conclusions. I wanted to know if he was pathologically addicted to insulting literally everyone, and if there was some hope of redemption. It seems likely that the former is true, but I'm undecided on the later. Such obnoxious behavior is amazingly common on Usenet and in various blogs, and I want to understand the motivation and how it works.

Likewise, but I derived much of my early education from dumpster diving. If there was some possibility of an intelligent reply, I'm willing to wade though the garbage and insults to read it. It does become tedious after a while, but I've been limiting my Usenet reading and ranting to about 2 hrs per day, which is well below the level where it might become toxic.

Really. I must be leading a sheltered life. The technical people that I know do not talk or write in such a manner. I really do find it difficult to believe and understand what purpose the insults serve.

For those keeping score: Hmmm... the number of monthly postings seem to be increasing. Repetitious upscaling is a good indication that some purpose is not being achieved.

Memory fault. It's a Tek 465M/AN-USM425 scope.

Ignoring him doesn't work. Notice the recent increase in posting frequency:

Let he who is free of trolling, profanity, obnoxious behavior, off topic postings, topic drift, misformating, excessive line length, or bad puns, cast the first complaint.

Absolute bullshit.

Sounds more like you drank some of Donald Trump's kool aid and actually think you know things about the world or other people. You are clueless to say the least.

I've seen zip files that could only be unopacked by 7zip.

I assume that the file compression utilities in Win7, or 7zip created this. The file was slightly smaller than the same type of file, with the same contents that is created created using a more widespread SW like winzip.

Creating such a file is NOT an advantage or a beneficial feature of new compression software. If it's not standard, its not a .zip file and shouldn't carry a .zip file designation.

Psychology is kind of a hobby of mine as well. It also ties in with figurin g out peoples motivations. Like when you read the news and someone did some thing makes no sense, well it made sense to them. Like Afghanistan and Sau di Arabians fly planes into building, so they attack Iraq. It is simple, th e motivations are not what they stated.

Your statement about something not being achieved applies to most addiction s I think. the reason the desire is insatiable is because it is not what is needed. It's been said that even avid music lovers lust so after the tunes because it is a substitute for what is needed. This mean possibly that som e addictions are actually confusion.

But not all, and this type of literal Tourette's could be a notable excepti on. It is quite possibly that he is introverted and wants to be alone becau se of the shyness, or something. He also seems to make it a point to mentio n when he or the company purchases some fancy expensive gizmo.

Some people use killfile but that would be no fun.

Exactly. I spent some time working in advertising and later marketing. Considerable effort was spent analyzing what made people buy particular products. I took what I had learned and tried to apply the principles and logic to other businesses and professions. Many Just ask "what problem are they trying to solve?" and things will be much clearer.

Oh, it's worse than that. I have plenty of good stories and conspiracies about the first Gulf War. Another time and place please.

Maybe, but I prefer the standard explanation for addictive behavior. A person does something repetitively and in an addictive manner (including withdrawal symptoms) because it works for them. It satisfies some need that has become a fundamental requirement for their continued survival. It doesn't need to be self-destructive or illegal, just a habit. (My favorite addiction is collection junk and repair jobs).

In many campaigns, the advertising industry promotes addictive behavior. Instead of hinting that you might be able to use some product, the advertisers promote the images that you can't live without the product, or show images of what it might be like to go through withdrawal for lack of the product.

I can probably consider my Usenet habit an addition. In the beginning, I liked the concept of helping someone with their problem. I also learned quite a bit reading other people's input. Roll forward

30 years and I now have to catch myself to prevent Usenet from becoming my personal ego trip. I believe that I do this effectively, while others perhaps not so effectively.

I can go on forever on the topic, but not now.

Maybe. I don't think it's proper or effective to guess what makes him tick. I would need to know more about that person in order to do that effectively. Body language, subtleties, environment, habits, etc are all important. Trying to do that via Usenet will surely fail or produce bad guesses. Even if you're right, nothing positive will come from the analysis, as most of us are old enough that change is unlikely.

The only way a hard wired wrong mindset like yours will "learn by destroying" is if you destroy yourself. Then, *maybe* you and God can talk it over before you sends you back down as a more appropriate species. Perhaps as a flea or common housefly.

Like poking him with a stick ? Law says you cannot measure anything without affecting so why try ?

Actually I have thought that out to the nth degree. Even a telescope lookin g at a star millions of miles away6 affect how and how much light is reflec ted back to it. You got energy from it that could have affected the univers e differently, and thus the environment in which that star exists. Just eno ugh light to excite your rod and cones is enough to change the universe. Ho w ? We cannot mrasure that but people who think we can measure everything a nd anything are not scientists. The only people that stupid are politicians .
