I am seeing a lot of talk about "killfiling" people. Am I to assume that
this is some form of censorship by a moderator on what is to all intents and
purposes a "public access" news server. I am not saying I agree with most of
the inane bullshit chatter that has no relevance to motorcycling or how a
valid topic gets hijacked and becomes a non related conversation to the
original post. But killfiling someone because they have the tenacity to give
shtick back to somebody, smacks of the brown shirts of NAZI Germany and the
Black Shirts of Italy in WWII.

If you think someone is talking bullshit don't give them the satisfaction of
a coherent reply, just ignore them. Its the ultimate message, " You talked
so much **** that by replying to you I am just standing in it, and who wants
to stand in ****"

We are supposed to be a tolerant society, and motorcyclists symbolise a
group that espouses the virtue of freedom of choice and speech. Does this
action of killfiling act in a contravention to those ideals?.

That kind of insubordination will not be tolerated here.
Consider yourself killfiled.

Do you read every single post here Richard or do you pick and choose?
I don't have time to read everything so I pick and choose.
Sometimes I use the software to help me filter out the ones I chose to not read (so I've got more time to read
the ones that entertain me).
Is that a problem for you?

A killfile is a filter you and only you use to filter out those people
you want to ignore
depending on your news reader you can set tom ignore those people like
kiwipete who rant incessantly about the same point over and over.
when you "plonk someone" only you don't see their posts everyone else does.
Another handy tool is a thread killer.
you set the thread to ignore rather than the sender if you still want to
converse with them in another thread
this is more civilised and more commonly used by myself.
Helps when there is a lot of crossposting.

Actually I don't read every message mainly I surf the subject headings, but
cover at least say 40-50% of all messages. You say you use software to
filter?. How? I am using outlook express, is there another method?

Noooo. It's putting a person in your "blocked senders" list. You will
no longer be bothered deleting posts from this person as they will no
longer be visible to you. Everybody else, however, can still see what
this person is saying (maybe about you) and they can still see all of
your posts.

That's traditional here. When I see a thread that is of no interest to
me at all, I ignore it for a couple of days and then look at it again.
It will have changed it's subject several times since then and become
interesting to me. Or vice versa.

A kill-file does exactly this automatically for you.

No were bloody not, and we don't. We're here to annoy as many people
as possible.

Do you have any idea just how far into the sunset you can ride from
Perth before you get wet?

Well, it could be. Richard was not that entertaining, was he?

Try doing funny stuff Richard. Look at KP's posts as an example.

So after writing
"But killfiling someone because they have the tenacity to give
shtick back to somebody, smacks of the brown shirts of NAZI
Germany and the Black Shirts of Italy in WWII."

.......you now want to do it yourself?
Ok; select poster's name, right click, block sender.
