About this post
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is crossposted to three groups for the following reasons:

1. alt.ascii-art
   since that's where it all started, though I feel that it is
   time to move it to a more appropriate group.

2. alt.animals.felines
   because I don't have the cooking and slaughtering know-how
   needed to respond to the details of the post quoted below.
   Also, because I'm a little bit worried that somebody might
   take his "recipe" seriously.

   WARNING!
   Weak-stomached cat lovers might not want to read further!

3. alt.romath
   where flame wars are actually on-topic. This is also one of
   the groups where I'm setting follow-ups. The reason that I
   include a couple of other groups in the follow-ups is that
   they are similar to alt.romath, and it's considered "good
   form" in those three groups to crosspost interesting threads
   to each other.

Followups are set to alt.romath, alt.alien.vampire.flonk.flonk.flonk and
alt.fan.karl-malden.nose. Please keep any followups to this post out of
alt.ascii-art and alt.animals.felines.

If you can't crosspost for some reason, please post your follow-up to
alt.romath. If your server doesn't keep the group alt.romath you can
access it through  http://www.deja.com/

Yes I am trying to get some cat people into this. I guess that could be
considered trolling. Please forgive me for that. What I really want is
for this discussion to move over to alt.romath, and I also want some of
JRO's statements in his "recipe" to be challenged by knowledgeable
people.


A little background for the cat people and the Romathians
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What you see quoted below is the latest trolling attempt by a poster in
alt.ascii-art who got himself into a little flame war with me during the
past few days. Those of you who are interested in such things can enjoy
it at Deja:

http://www.deja.com/=dnc/[ST_rn=ps]/viewthread.xp?search=thread&recnum=%3c8404ni$bve$1...@nnrp1.deja.com%3e%231/6&AN=564544280&svcclass=dnserver&frpage=getdoc.xp

I get the distinct impression that JRO wants a fight, but he has so far
refused my invitations to come over to alt.romath and join the flaming
fun there.

Grusome idea! You should have finished the picture up, though...
Hey, I think I should work this into the original.

Great idea; thanks.

Why, thankyou. I'm not a bit surprised you've already

 How to make Tamales...
    A recipie.


   How long has it been, since you had a
 rich, steaming plate of tamales? Remember
 how delicious tamales are? NO ONE can resist
 a well-garnished plate of REAL tamales, after
 all.

   Well, no longer will you have to wait
 around until you can afford to visit an
 expensive restraunt which serves such a
 delicasy. I'll share with you the easy
 recipie for making your own REAL TAMALES,
 right at home!

   The first thing you need, is some real
 tamale meat. Some folks will tell you to
 use beef, or chicken - this is a mistake!

 RULE ONE - you can't make a REAL tamale,
           without catmeat. Cat; it's the
           "other" red meat.



  This is how to obtain fine tamale meats:

 For cat hunting, I reccomend a Webley-Fosbury,
 naturally. Any common .22 or shotgun will do
 just swell, however. If you live in some Third World
 country which doesn't suffer it's population to
 own firearms, a basic club or rock will suffice...

                     you can then acquire it's meat."

   A good-sized adult cat, when skinned out, should
 have enough meat on it's bones to make a six or eight
 tamales. Smaller cats and the immature kittens (often
 sought for their tenderness), won't yield quite as much
 meat, so adjust the number you will need, accordingly.

   Maybe you have a commerical source of pre-packaged cat.
 Let me suggest, however, that you kill and butcher your
 own. Skinning cat isn't as much of an ordeal as you may
 think. First, lop off the head, and discard it.  It contains
 no usable meat, and the brain of a cat is too small to bother
 with. Believe me, it would take many, many cats, just to
 make a small pan of brains and eggs!

   The next thing you want to remove, is the tail. This
 should also be discarded...

   You may then make a longitudal incision on the cat's
 abdomen. Reach into the body cavity, and remove all of the
 internal organs. Discard them; especially the liver,
 which is frequently toxic in domestic cats. In any event,
 it is quite inedible. There are no organ meats in cat.
 The Swedish make a practice of eating cat genitalia, and
 although they may relish these portions, I would not
 suggest you try it. Mad Cat Disease has definately been
 linked to the eating of cat reproductive organs.

   At this point, you can now "skin" the meat. This is
 accomplished by grabbing the loose skin around where the
 head was removed, and pulling it back. Use a pair of pliers,
 if necessary, but try not to resort to using a knife in
 places where you have trouble. With a little practice, you
 should be able to peel the cat's skin back, and continue the
 process until you have rolled it completely off the body.

      /_/\_.___\   "Some gourmets will tell you to start
     /\~()/()~//\  skinning from the open abdominal area.

       \ //\\ /    method, and you will definately have to

  |�� |�� ; � �|   | you'll agree that it IS the best method.
  |   |   :    |   |


   Now that you have your cat skinned, gutted, and trimmed of
 extraneous limbs and the head, it's time to wash the meat. If
 you skinned the cat properly, there should be no hair remaining
 on the meat. Nevertheless, you should wash it carefully, to make
 sure there are no stray hairs.

   For best results you should soak your cat in salt water, for
 at least an hour. If you have guests coming and are pressed for
 time, you can skip over this step. If you add a little extra
 seasoning to your cat in the cooking process, even a true
 connosiuer shouldn't be able to recognize that you skipped over
 the soaking process.

Tamales are excellent with chile, I might add.

The same to you. Apparently the people in alt.romath *loved* that post!
It is also a fact that they would love if a nice little flame war was to
start in their group, from that post. You, on the other hand, are
re-directing this discussion back into a group where several people have
stated that they would like to see it go elsewhere...

"Cat burgle", do you imply? Why, stealing cats isn't a crime; it's a publick
service. The pubic needs servicing, and I do all I can to keep it serviced.

As to my recipe... There's nothing wrong with it. Try searching for other
great cat recipes, if you wish to investigate. I warn you, however, that
the recipe for TRUE tamales has been kept a closely guarded secret, until
I have now divulged it, for all the world to know and enjoy.

I couldn't care less what they think, but you are deliberately taking one of his
posts (which had nothing to do with you) and took it to some groups where you
think you might get some support in your argument with JRO since you clearly
don't get enough support in this group.
So again: grow up!

It started here and it should stay here until it's sorted out or until either of
you get tired of it and stop this shit. I see no reason to take your stupid
little arguement all over Usenet. 
What's next, an "i hate JRO" page?

Sure it didn't. Sure!

Why not take a look there. The people who have posted so far agree with
him, not me. That's a group of highly individual people (trolls) who
don't obey anybody. They love verbal fights. One said he'd printed JRO's
recipe and was putting it on his wall! The cat people have completely
ignored it. That's all fine with me.

That's not quite the impression I've got.

Again: *You* grow up!

Even when half the people in the group are complaining loudly and saying
things like "Please, move this discussion elsewhere"?!? Moving
discussions to more appropriate groups is a perfectly normal thing to
do. It is not much different to moving discussions to email - except
it's still "official" and anybody who wants to can join in.

> What's next, an "i hate JRO" page?

I already did an "I love JRO's cartoons" page. I then handed it over to
him. He did a few changes and a lot of updates to it (you can't
recognise it now, compared to when it was new - it's all his now!). I do
not regret that either.
