That's one reason why he and his trolls are more difficult to 
eliminate than usual. 

But the real weakness is the lack of firm resolve by all the 
newsgroup's readers and the constant influx of uninformed newcomers 
to alt.ascii-art, which ppears very early in the usual lists of 
newsgroups on offer. 

Only a newsgroup's readers can eliminate trolls and newsgroup 
invasions effectively. 

Anti-troll measures in the past were indeed beginning to work well 
but...as Veronica Karlsson wrote...a crop of newcomers came to the 
newsgroup and earlier successes were negated by their ignorance of 
the Stein War problem.  

In this current outbreak I entered the Stein War instead of ignoring it
as I did in some earlier outbreaks and of course as a result I have
attracted plenty of flames to myself. That must be expected by anyone
getting involved in flame wars...you get burnt!  *8-)

PC's track record since coming to this newsgroup repeatedly shows 
that this frequent claim of his that he wants to "just post his 
cartoons in peace" is completely false.  

He usually produces his peace claim when a Steinwar outbreak is 
becoming too hot for his personal comfort. His peace pleas are 
totally disingenuous designed to reduce the heat.  

What's missing from his peace claims are the words "on Mr. Casso's 
terms and conditions only." 

As soon as he decides someone has not met his terms and conditions
he complains and accuses people of all sorts of things including
breaches of copyright, breaches of personal non-criticism agreements
and all manner of misdoings.

He hopes that in persuading people to put him in their killfiles 
that they will no longer actually sight what undesirable things he
is doing here in this newsgroup...unless some other reader not using a 
killfile/filter sees and challenges his actions and activities.  

You may choose to buy that situation in this newsgroup...but I don't!
