I see "Uber Alles" is now also posting under a new Nazi alter ego "Himmler", it gives him a sense of power to think he is part of a "movement", even if it is really is just his own "bowel movement", oozing his own special consistency of loose effluent.

This guy is a mentally questionable loser who posts his pus filled racist rants on AP, projecting his own inferiority complex, and reflecting his failed life, though his vile posts... This is one person, of a core group of trolls, which seems to be only about 5 or 6 really sick screwed up losers.

That small number of ugly sick losers, responsible for 90% of these sick vile posts, is out of what I'd guess to be around about 150 or so regular readers, and maybe another 100 sometime readers, from as far away as Switzerland and New Zealand, who seem to like trains.

This tiny handful of trolls, maybe from as far away as Russia, who use AP's open forum to spew their vile pus, and get themselves off, do not represent the AP community.

Many people are turned off by this handful of sick trolls and their vile posts. And some of those doing this may even have that intent, to give them a sense of "power" over others, or out of some distorted worldview. Those comments only reflect their mental health issues, or their self loathing for their failed lives.

I cut some slack for Mouse, though. Mouse is just a fixated delusional train hater, who uses AP, to post his conspiracies, which are, in there predictable bent, often quite humorous... But, Mouse is otherwise harmless, since most folks know he's nuts. Ricardo seems to be another such case.

This tiny handful of really vile losers, and their hate speech, are just part of the cost freedom these days. They are loud, they are ugly, but they really are a very tiny handful of sick pathetic losers. So, don't ever let them win.

Ignore these sick vile useless trolls, and keep posting those great Steve Carter drone shots, Hutch's great old diesel footage finds, or those great questions from several generation of railfans, rails, planners, with great answers from folks like Zark and OPRRMS, who were "there" and "know"... That is the best troll antidote.

Mr. Curlee has granted us, in creating an open on-line rail community, an opportunity to exchange our thoughts, stories, viewpoints, even our bitc#ing and moaning about this industry, career, hobby, and means of transport... not to mention the whining about 4014...or the 2472 rants... And. ain't freedom great...

I say thank you to Mr. Curlee, and would remind every one of you who like the AP forum, and likes trains, that the AP Timetables make good Christmas presents, and are excellent stocking stuffers.
