-♻RetweetVentura County Star Caught Using MSM Comment Deletion Trick

Tue, Dec 11, 2007 at 12:59:58 pm PST

It’s a thoroughly evil trick: you post a comment at a mainstream media site that criticizes them, or goes against their prevailing biases, and the administrator deletes your comment. But they delete it in a sneaky way; when you visit the page and are logged in to your account, you still see your comment, but everyone else sees either nothing or a message that the comment was deleted.

It’s Orwellian, in a convoluted Boolean kind of way. They make you think everyone else is simply ignoring what you wrote. And they also insulate themselves from criticism by making you, the commenter, believe your comment was never deleted at all. They turn you into an un-person at their web site, unknowingly posting meaningless comments into a heedless void.

I almost admire the tactic for its sheer deviousness.

The latest paper to be caught using it is the Ventura County Star: JunkYardBlog: Ventura County Star is Pretty Much Busted.

LGF reader “winslow” puts this sneaky trick into song:

To the tune of She’s Not There
(With apologies to The Zombies)

It’s Not There!

Well, no one told me my comment
Had been removed.
I had no clue that my comment
Was quickly disapproved.

Though it’s too late to read my comment,
I’ll never know; I’m unaware.
Please don’t bother trying to find it;
It’s not there!

Well, let me tell you ’bout the post I wrote,
My point of view, writ so eloquent and fair.
My facts were cold and hard, my logic clear and tight,
But it’s not there!

Well, no one told me my comment
Had lost its soul.
I had no clue that my comment
Went down the mem’ry hole.

Though no one else can see my comment,
It’s plain to me; at it I stare.
But don’t bother trying to find it;
It’s not there!

Well, let me tell you ’bout the post I wrote;
My reasoned prose, ’twas so elegant and rare.
My words impeccable! My thoughts invincible!
But it’s not there!

ot: Fundamentalism is the bibles fault - Evidently it did not exist until 1539

"The translation of the Bible into English marked the birth of religious fundamentalism in medieval times, as well as the persecution that often comes with radical adherence in any era, according to a new book.
The 16th-century English Reformation, the historic period during which the Scriptures first became widely available in a common tongue, is often hailed by scholars as a moment of liberation for the general public, as it no longer needed to rely solely on the clergy to interpret the verses.
But being able to read the sometimes frightening set of moral codes spelled out in the Bible scared many literate Englishmen into following it to the letter, said James Simpson, a professor of English at Harvard University.
"Reading became a tightrope of terror across an abyss of predestination," said Simpson, author of "Burning to Read: English Fundamentalism and its Reformation Opponents" (Harvard University Press, 2007).
"It was destructive for [Protestants], because it did not invite freedom but rather fear of misinterpretation and damnation," Simpson said.
It was Protestant reformer William Tyndale who first translated the Bible into colloquial English in 1525, when the movement away from Catholicism began to sweep through England during the reign of Henry VIII. The first printings of Tyndale's Bible were considered heretical before England's official break from the Roman Church, yet still became very popular among commoners interested in the new Protestant faith, Simpson said.
"Very few people could actually read," said Simpson, who has seen estimates as low as 2 percent, "but the Bible of William Tyndale sold very well—as many as 30,000 copies before 1539 in the plausible estimate of a modern scholar; that's remarkable, since all were bought illegally."

and the very last paragraph

Very definitely, we see the same phenomenon: newly literate people claiming that the sacred text speaks for itself, and legitimates violence and repression," Simpson said, "and the same is also true of Christian fundamentalists."

I may not be a genuine researcher but I'm pretty sure that, historically, there have been fundy Islamists since, oh, around 700 AD.

Just another tool the failing MSM uses to convince themselves they are still relevant.

The more they get caught, the more they will deny it or say it is a technical thingy.

My local extremely left leaning newspaper recently had an article on why their subscription rates have dropped by over 40% in the last 5 years. And they blamed it on free Internet "pron". There was also one small paragraph about the effect of Internet blogs/news sites, but overall they blamed it on free "pron".

I couldn't follow the non-logic new speak on how they came to that conclusion except they cited a "pron" industry survey about falling revenues due to free Internet "pron".

re: #11 Eowyn2

It is an interesting thesis, and one which I partially support.

Unfortunately this originates from a leftist, as can be seen from the following:

legitimates violence and repression," Simpson said, "and the same is also true of Christian fundamentalists."

Attempts at moral equivalence between Judeo-Christianity and Islam is a common leftist practice. It is their attempt to obscure the fact that the dividing line between the West and her enemies features Christians, Jews and others of good will toward America on one side, and Muslims and leftists on the other side.

It is interesting as a thesis. But, to compare Christian and Islamic fundamentalists is like comparing apples and oranges. Two entirely different traditions and histories, theologically speaking. In Islam, fundamentalism has been there since day one. Christian fundamentalism is a fairly new (historically speaking) phenomenon. Plus, one clearly advocates violence while the other clearly does not. Three guesses as to which is which. ;-)

As a result, the comments section at the SF Chronicle in supposedly liberal San Francisco has been almost compeltely taken over by lizardoid-types and fellow clear thinkers and outraged Americans. The moonbats are in shock and on the run.

As an example, the Chronicle ran a story about a Pakistani family with nine children suing the city of SF for not giving them the best free public housing, blah blah blah. Take a look at the comments on the article -- your mind will be blown!

re: #27 Honorary Yooper

I agree. My point was that the author of this piece appears to be a typical leftist atheist, in that he is claiming that Christian fundamentalists "legitimate violence and repression", when this is clearly untrue. It is however true that leftists "legitimated" the slaughter of over 100 million people in the 20th century. That's called projection.

Zombie,

I liked this comment form the SF Chronicle boards...

"None of my comments, and I hope that none of the other posters comments condone what has happened to this family. We should not tolerate hatred or violence in our midst. Unfortunately, some people confuse liberalism and tolerance with the acceptance of anarchy. That is plain wrong, and is what makes this city much less livable than it should be. I think that more people are realizing that stricter enforcement of the laws that we currently have would benefit society as a whole, at that we have grown too lax in this city."

Bravo! Good job! Nice to see them getting a true sense of the opinion of their so-called constituents!

Well, if these liberal newspapers are really afraid of comments from the great un-enlightened masses (and it appears they should be), then an intellectually honest way to prevent those kinds of comments is to allow only paid newspaper subscribers to post them.

That way they create their own little echo-chamber, free from the corrupting influence of non-liberal thought.

Ooooh, the influence of JimJams spreads!

UPDATE:

I've compeltely changed the tenor of the cultural discourse in the Bay Area. The Chronicle seriously backpedaled, admitted to everything, and tried to make amends by offering to un-ban any previously banned commenter. Also, they are much more hesitant to individually delete comments now.

As a result, the comments section at the SF Chronicle in supposedly liberal San Francisco has been almost compeltely taken over by lizardoid-types and fellow clear thinkers and outraged Americans. The moonbats are in shock and on the run.

As an example, the Chronicle ran a story about a Pakistani family with nine children suing the city of SF for not giving them the best free public housing, blah blah blah. Take a look at the comments on the article -- your mind will be blown!

Thanks to JimJams, the Chronicle's comment section now reads more like Free Republic or LGF! !

One problem with the sneaky delete feature (and there are many) is that the poster whose comments are going straight down the memory hole can create some pretty inflammatory screen prints with his/her kooky comments intact and then distribute the screen prints around as if they were the page everyone else saw and let go.

Not this one - altho there is another one about 30 miles from here that does that. The reason I am taking my girls there is they have a large facility in an old fieldhouse, and so there is lots of room for running and playing. With my recent surgery and all this ice and snow we have been getting, I can't get them enough exercise. So I am going to let them 'play with friends' one day a week at least till I feel better and the weather is nicer.

"Jimjams" is baby talk for "Pajamas" -- and it's the user name I created at the SF Chronicle for commenting there. It didn't even occur to me until it was too late that the name had "jim" in like, like the man's name. Oh well. I was just thinking of "jammies," a reference to "pajama-clad bloggers."

When I caught the Chronicle red-handed, I started a new blog to expose them, and continued to use the name "jimjams" there for continuity's sake.

Orwellian is right.

I'd love to hear the lefties rationalization for it. Its always fun to hear blatant agit-prop spewed into the daylight.

In the spirit of the ice storm:

Chili con Carne

1.5 lbs ground chuck
1 lg onion, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, minced very fine
4 TBSP chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp ground oregano
28oz can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup Heinz ketchup
2 15oz cans of pinto beans, drained
water as needed

Brown meat, onions and garlic in dutch onion on medium heat. Add dry ingredients and cook for another minute. Add ketchup, tomatoes and water to create desired consistency. Reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes. Add beans and cook for another 10 minutes. Serve with fresh corn bread or soda crackers.

I have been lax in following it up. The SF Chronicle has offered to put me in touch with the software company that licenses this trick to newspapers, for the ostensible purpose of confirming that it wasn't the Chronicle's doing, to shift the blame. But what I'd like to do is get the company to tell me who else has licensed that particular commenting platform.

I want that list of customers. Take this scandal nationwide, re-take the newspaper industry once and for all.

But no, I've been ditzing around doing other things.

We subscribe to the VCS because we liked to get the sunday paper so we could read the comics, and we need paper to line the bird cages (We have an African Grey and a Conure).

At one point they called us to 'upgrade' our subscription to daily and when we told them we really don't read the newspaper they told us they'd give it to us for the price of the sunday paper only.

So we get thursday-sunday for $5.00 a month and pretty much never open anything but the Sunday paper - unless we need extra bird cage liners.

I suspect all of this is so they can hype up their circulation numbers. Kinda sad.

I really don't see what benefit the papers think they are getting by this 'magic' hiding of comments. Like people are too stupid to notice - I guess they would think that because they are too stupid to realize they would get caught.

How many exclamation points did you use? Is Charles editing our posts? See, in each of these sentences I used multiple question marks, but the moderators at LGF automatically change it to just one question mark or exclamation point per sentence!

The moderators don't do it, the software itself does. And I get around it by placing a space between each exclamation point. Like this:

Mind you, I use it very much in moderation. Mostly for comic effect, and stuff.

211 Arbalest  Tue, Dec 11, 2007 2:22:06pm

It seems that very many of The Deciders dislike being exposed as incompetent, heavily biased political lackeys.

If I read the SF Chronicle article (linked by post #32 Zombie) correctly, destruction of a Quran, shredding of (apparently only) “traditional clothes” and defacing of passports is less of a burglary and more of a Mohammed al-Dura event.

How likely is a burglar or a hater of any flavor to do only those things (and apparently nothing else) to someone else?

Further, why are these people getting any assistance? Airfare to and from Pakistan is thousands of dollars, where did these people get the money?

Why is the SF Chronicle not investigating this story further? I wonder if the IRS should be interested in the apparently questionable money trail.


The second comment point to serious fraud in the Alameda Housing Authority; perhaps this is not the SF Chronicle’s beat (but if they sell papers there it is); but should they not at least do some small investigation?

Perhaps bot the IRS and the State of California should be interested in this situation.

Just for comparison, are there any Ventura County Star examples worthy of mention?


Such comments make The Deciders look like rubes. But there’s a reason The Deciders look this way.

I suppose that disapperaing such comments made the pain and humiliation of exposure go away. But now it seems to be back, and very much more public.

Fortunately, with subscription rates dropping, many Deciders are likely to be unemployed very soon, and thus no longer face such criticism and exposure.


Zombie: Many congratulations.

Egypt's 'veil' of piety intrudes on public

Sometimes her co-workers spoke to her as "concerned friends," and one colleague at the Cairo clothing factory where she worked gave her a CD of a sermon that emphasized the virtues of wearing the veil.

When that failed, the de facto morality squad lectured her on how to stand during prayers, on the need to pray more than the required five times a day and how she should limit her contact with Christian co-workers, Kholy said.

Melbourne mother investigated over Somali jihadi links

A MELBOURNE mother is being investigated by police over her links to Somali jihadis and accusations she supports Islamic martyrdom.

The Muslim convert, a friend of Sydney's militant Islamic matriarch Rabiyah Hutchinson, is also alleged to have declared herself and her family "soldiers of Osama bin Laden", who act on his orders.

Arafat Day on Dec. 18

The Arafat Day, when pilgrims will stand in prayer in the plain of Arafat at the peak of Haj this year, will be on Dec. 18, the Supreme Judiciary Council announced yesterday. Eid Al-Adha will be on Dec. 19.

On top of this crap, Ahmadi 'The Still Living Terrorist' Nejad, is crowing about further talks with the US. At this point I will not say anything further other than, if we enter into talks with these murdering bastards we will likely see Ahmad's mentor, Yadzi & Co., moving to the front of selecting the next Supreme Fubar AND tacitly concede consent to a fully nuclear Iran.

OT, and sorry everyone.. but I am SOOO pissed!

U.S. Refuses 'Any Wounded Soldier' Mail

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Hundreds of thousands of holiday cards and letters thanking wounded American troops for their sacrifice and wishing them well never reach their destination. They are returned to sender or thrown away unopened.

Since the Sept. 11 attacks and the anthrax scare, the Pentagon and the Postal Service have refused to deliver mail addressed simply to "Any Wounded Soldier" for fear terrorists or opponents of the war might send toxic substances or demoralizing messages.
Mail must be addressed to a specific member of the armed forces -- a rule that pains some well-meaning Americans this Christmas season.

"Are we going to forget our soldiers because we are running in fear?" Fena D'Ottavio asked. The suburban Chicago woman was using her blog to encourage friends to send mail to unspecified soldiers until she learned of the ban, which she called a sad commentary on society.

Last season, despite the rule, officials say as many as 450,000 pieces of mail not addressed to anyone in particular managed to reach Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington. But they were returned or, if they had no return address, were thrown out altogether, because the hospital lacked the manpower to open and screen all the mail, spokesman Terry Goodman said.

"A lot of this is because of security concerns because it's unsolicited mail that someone is going to have to go through," Goodman said. "Also, being a democratic society, there could be inappropriate mail from someone who, say, doesn't support the war, and then you've got a wounded soldier getting it."

Lt. Col. Kevin Arata, a spokesman with the Army Human Resources Command, said no one tracks the amount of unnamed-soldier mail being returned, so it is impossible to judge the size of the problem.

The busiest part of the holiday season has yet to arrive, but officials said they are receiving far less mail this year addressed simply to "A Recovering American Soldier" or "Any Wounded Soldier."

Candy Roquemore of Austin, Texas, was also promoting the idea of sending cards to wounded soldiers until she found out about the rule. She suggested the ban is an overreaction.

"I think there are some wackos who might do something, so I can understand that. But I think with a Christmas postcard it would be pretty easy to see it doesn't have anthrax in it," Roquemore said.

She added: "I just wanted to say, `Thank you, sorry you're hurt, and happy holidays."'

USO spokesman John Hanson said that like the military, the nonprofit service organization does not deliver unopened mail to unspecified recipients. He said the USO worries about security as well as hateful messages from war critics.
"We just want to make sure it's not, `Die, baby killer,"' he said. "There are people out there who act irrationally, and we don't want anyone to get a message that would be discouraging."
The USO is one of the organizations the military is encouraging people to support with donations as an alternative to sending cards to unspecified soldiers. The military is also referring people to the American Red Cross and a Defense Department Web site where supporters have posted thousands of messages to troops.

Some groups are offering to forward mail to the troops. Aides to Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., are offering to accept letters, screen them through the U.S. Capitol mail operation, and get them to members of the armed forces.

"We've had about a dozen complaints from constituents about returned mail that they sent to troops," said Steven Boyd, a Sessions spokesman.

Kudos to Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala... thank you, sir.

... as I can especially Christians who are to blame for most of the problems in the world.”


I think it's quite a stretch to tie in Hitchens to that one. It would be easy to see how from his point of view he was being persecuted by all his Christian friends and family but I doubt he was making a Hitch reference. I saw mention earlier that there were some similarities between his rant and the Columbine kids. But above all it seems he was mentally ill regardless of his belief system. I saw a mention earlier that he claimed to hear voices in his head. He wasn't inspired by philosophy, or books, or religion. It sounds like he had been schizophrenic for years before this happened.

Recent USA Today/Gallup poll:
Between now and the 2008 political conventions, there will be discussion about the qualifications of presidential candidates -- their education, age, religion, race, and so on. If your party nominated a generally well-qualified person for president who happened to be ..., would you vote for that person?

Now that is a silly question. How do you think? It was those Paki-illiterati-Mosaki-Islami scholarships that the Sheiks made with their own personal fortunes. Set asie for the most gifted kids coming out of Lahore.

Great parody! As it happens, I saw the reconstituted Zombies in concert 4 months ago, and they were great. Colin Blunstone's voice hasn't aged a bit, and Rod Argent is still a wild man on keyboards. Strictly speaking it's not a true "reunion", as they have a new guitarist, and they have enlisted Rod's old friend, 66 year young bassist Jim Rodford (who helped form the Zombies in the early 60s but never played with them at the time). Jim's son Steve is on drums as well.

All of the surviving Zombies WILL be reuniting in a few months in England, a la last nights Zeppelin reunion, to perform their legendary album "Oydessey and Oracle"; rumor is they may also make it across the pond next summer.

The 2 old guys that work out there pointed something out to me. The 2 Garbage trucks that come by and pick up the regular trash in the garbage truck, and then the one for the recycled stuff. It all gets dumped into the same pit in the ground. They showed me the 2 trucks, they are both distinctly different.

I always recall this story when my wife tells me to put beer cans in the recycle. I tell her their my cans, I bought 'em and I'll toss them where I please. Besides, 1 truck could do the work of the 2 easy enough.

re: #16 mad_scientist

I tried to post a few times on some BBC stories, and my comments never made it past the moderator at all. They werent vulgar, or even angry, just voiced my disagreement with the premise of their articles.

Liberals are a threat to free speech...it becomes more and more apparent everyday.

The BBC, or the Ventura County Star, are the owners of their content. Their free speech right to print what they please, and not anything else, is nothing sinister.

Most of us would get booted as trolls if we posted the same kind of clear, logical content at KOS that we post here. Most of the KOSkids get busted if they post their raving lunatic moonbat theories at this node of sanity. The BBC has a right to its own version of what is sanity and what is moonbattery, and to cull would-be posts accordingly.

(To a point, anyhow. When it's a State-run operation, it has obligations no private publisher would share.)

What is dishonest is to have rules for what is acceptable discourse, published and posted, and then have secret rules, wherein what is actually acceptable discourse amounts to being an applause gallery for the editorial positions of the rag.

The BBC might as well say, "we will post comments we like, and remove comments making statements of fact that we find inconvenient because they debunk our stories. Let the reader beware. Let him who would post here beware."

I am of the mindset that each piece of MSM bias must be confronted. Thus, LGF is doing the exact right thing by posting this one. While it is not the most egregious, it is certainly still unacceptable. That said, I don't believe that it is merely enough to post it here and have everyone go back and forth about how silly it is. This newspaper likely has an ombudsman. If even one tenth of the commenters also sent a quick email to the paper's ombudsman and let them know that would make much more of a difference.

I have come across my fair share of obscene media bias in my blog. Check out my piece on this hatchet job that was masquerading as some sort of political analysis from a Midland, Texas paper.

However, if you want to see some really obscene corruption in the media,

check out this piece I wrote about the Atlanta Journal Constitution This one relates to the mess at Grady Hospital which I have been following closely.

She grew up in Albania. She's like 21 years old and has only lived in the West for a couple years. There are other more mature trolls at LGF that could use a spanking more than this young person.

Shouldn't we insist that she (or anyone behaving like her) show some respect to others and lay off the neurotic need for any and all kinds of attention? I'm not going to live on a one way street. She was talking all sorts of nonsense last night. I don't even post that much anymore and she provoked me into a mildly boorish retort. I remember when Quella splashed down in the very same fashion. There have been plenty of others.

I couldn't care less what her internet persona is.

Ooooh, the influence of JimJams spreads!

UPDATE:

I've compeltely changed the tenor of the cultural discourse in the Bay Area. The Chronicle seriously backpedaled, admitted to everything, and tried to make amends by offering to un-ban any previously banned commenter. Also, they are much more hesitant to individually delete comments now.

As a result, the comments section at the SF Chronicle in supposedly liberal San Francisco has been almost compeltely taken over by lizardoid-types and fellow clear thinkers and outraged Americans. The moonbats are in shock and on the run.

As an example, the Chronicle ran a story about a Pakistani family with nine children suing the city of SF for not giving them the best free public housing, blah blah blah. Take a look at the comments on the article -- your mind will be blown!

Thanks to JimJams, the Chronicle's comment section now reads more like Free Republic or LGF! !

I just got off the phone with my son who lives in Toronto. The hijab honor killing is being reported very strangely by the MSM over there. He heard the report on the radio about how a "devoutly religious" man strangled his daughter because she refused to wear "religious garb." The reporter went on and on without mention the M word, and he thought, "could this be a religious Jew? a Buddhist? a Hindu? a Catholic?"

He called me to ask if the US media was reporting what "religion" the perp was.

I'm not sure storage is gone, but if he is, it wouldn't be because of the words of some newbie.

That comment deletion trick would have been sinister clever if they pulled it off. It reminds me of the thermostat controls at a place I used to work. There were controllers in each section of the office that one could adjust so as to display between 67 and 72 degrees. But that's all they did: display a meaningless number. The actual settings were locked at 69 degrees in another room and couldn't be changed. Most of the engineering staff knew about it but it worked amazingly well on most others (priceless: office temperature 'wars' between the clerical staff).

An internet search returns many personal writings of this "medaura". High levels of ego-centrism and sophomoric pseudo-intellectual commentary. Here's a sample:

"The burqa has also a perverse X factor that elicits laser beams out of my eyes: in its underhanded way it’s so self-righteously slutty! The entire rationale for it is that you need to fully cover every square inch of your face and body lest any random male passerby spontaneously breaks down and starts to compulsively drool (or worse) all over you. You really think you’re such hot shit that it’s a big deal whether anyone can see your hair or face? Nobody cares! Nobody is aroused by your stupid hair! Get over it!

Not only does wearing the burqa imply an overly sexualized sense of self, but it also silently spells out a moral condemnation of all women who do not abide by such anal and self-demeaning standards of “modesty”. If your standards for socially proper attire are so far removed from the norm that you are practically living in your own moral planet, and that planet is collapsing into a black hole under its own warped field of ‘judgmentality’, there will be a point where the principle of general cultural relativity breaks down in an asymmetric fashion: As viewed from the PC planet, your style is kind of weird and no fun, but perfectly equivalent to whatever they’ve got over there, and while they might not go out of their way to bond with you for one politically correct excuse or another, you must surely be a great girl underneath and the PC crowd wishes you all the best in life. As viewed from your planet, however, the PC crowd is roaming with lustful immodest sluts who seduce every male in their path by flaunting their face and hair, and are so going to burn in hell for it.

The burqa is eerie, alienating, judgmental, demeaning, dehumanizing, and is calling everyone else a whore.

Boy, can I relate! I have my own business and was once told by my trash haulers that I had to sort my refuse by paper, cardboard and trash. This incurred the cost of 3 containers and their subsequent removal. A competitor came to me and told that it was silly and I could reduce my costs by only sorting cardboard and trash. I signed on thinking I could save some money (which I did). Over time, I noticed that the truck that emptied the trash dumpster also emptied the cardboard dumpster. When I questioned this practice, I was told that it was to make my service more efficient. So much for environmental activism. This practiice, like Al Gore, is all about feeling good about ourselves and nothing more.

She seems young and a bit arrogant. And intelligent. She may mellow over time, or she may grow into a monster... I don't know, only time will tell. She may simply be insecure; a stranger in a strange land, too eager to prove herself, and a display of knowledge may be her foot in the door. Again, I don't know.

If I could make a suggestion..?.. before you dismiss her, try talking to her. Perhaps she will age into someone worth keeping around. After all, she is really just a kid, and brashness comes with that territory. If she doesn't relax... by all means, have at her.

Remember: y'all can be intimidating... and trying too hard is not the worst thing in the world.

There's no "bit" here, at all.

She may simply be insecure.

Ditto.

...and a display of knowledge may be her foot in the door.

From all that I have read, this is not a person who needs a "foot in the door". This is a person who puts on her best dress and dolls up to the nines and then kicks the door open with her spike-heel pumps.

...she may grow into a monster.

How many exclamation points did you use? Is Charles editing our posts? See, in each of these sentences I used multiple question marks, but the moderators at LGF automatically change it to just one question mark or exclamation point per sentence!

The moderators don't do it, the software itself does. And I get around it by placing a space between each exclamation point. Like this:

DING ! ! !

Mind you, I use it very much in moderation. Mostly for comic effect, and stuff.

Charles ships the excess exclamation points to lefty blogs, where they are used in abundance.

Well, let me tell you ’bout the post I wrote;
My reasoned prose, ’twas so elegant and rare.
My words impeccable! My thoughts invincible!
But it’s not there!

Why does Maureen Dowd come to mind here?


(gads! Dowd gets the NYT and can't write, and winslow cranks these gems off for the internet ...)

re: #571 NomadOfNorad

I just read this post from last night, and it is puzzling as she is in Canada.

Don't they have child services in Canada, or a hotline for little kids trying to escape from their homicidal Muslim families? Somebody should have accompanied her home to collect her items! This is insane

I liked Santana's version better. Which is, of course, neither here nor there...

winslow, that was fantastic! I'm re-writing Oh Donna to Obama.

It's nice to come in from a 15 hour day at work and find something to make you laugh here at LGF. Excellent work "winslow".

According to Sheriff Doug Gillespie the shooting in Las Vegas was over a girl.

No gangs or drugs involved.

Hat's off to Winslow! That was fantastic. We have a lot of talented poets at LGF.

re: #356 EC Marm

I've been out of it today. Just checked the incoming traffic to my website and there was some from this thread, which was weird since I hadn't posted here.

To answer your second-hand question,

Jewish to me does not only have to do with a religion but also an ethnicity. I have Jewish ancestry, Jewish blood, and I highly respect Jewish culture. And I happen to dig the Illyrian pantheon, hence the war goddess.

I still don't know how this came up in this thread, bizarre..

re: #464 EC Marm

Oh I see now what the issue was. I don't care about this idiocy anymore. To all parties involved, you sound to have way too much time on your hands. Second-hand condescendence about my ethnic origin, native language not being English, and more... The hilarious thing is that a lot is coming from posters here to whom I have never even talked. Someone has gone so far as to check my posts from weeks ago and screen the line where supposedly this dark secret is revealed, about whom I have been exchanging emails with, and then more conspiracy theories about him urging me to join,... all from someone here who says he doesn't care.

Incapable of digesting the newb's insolence... digestive problems still giving ya'll gas.

To Pro-Bush Canuck, and whomever else (if any) who was picking my side, you are just giving some bored zealots the validation that there is a side to pick. It's best to acknowledge trolls without feeding them. I think I am finally learning the meaning of the word first-hand. The initial definition I got seemed a bit too vague but no, it's right, down to a T.

591 danger close  Tue, Dec 11, 2007 11:01:48pm

I don't believe Pro-Bush Canuck was taking your side. He was merely counseling patience in the face of your

insolence

arrogance and other assorted foolishness. Stevieray was also in that camp. Several others, including myself, advocate a stricter approach.

Your behavior so far is guaranteed to earn you dividends many times over in the enemies department. Perhaps you have no other way. If thats the case you'd better get ready to hoe a long row.

If you can modify your behavior, as opposed to your beliefs, you'll get along just fine.

Its up to you. This blog has seen plenty come, cause trouble for just about everybody and then go away one way or another. Most however, settle in rather nicely. Again, its up to you.

Hon, if you're really tired of this, why do y'all keep coming back here to pick fights, and insult us? (talk about having too much time on your hands!)

And it isn't the newbie's "insolence" so much as the newbie's rudeness, bad attitude and weird flip-flogs, i.e., well, I'm not really Jewish, but not religiously Jewish, but I have some Jewish blood (as NY Nana pointed out, there aren't that many Jews in Albania---aren't you supposedly Albanian?) so I think of myself as a Jew, etc., etc., etc. Uh, okay. Whatever.

594 TalkinKamel  Wed, Dec 12, 2007 7:23:58am

And as for gas, y'all seem to be the one producing the most of it. And as for "hard to digest"---well, yeah, some of the stuff you come up with in your posts is kinda difficult to---ahem!---swallow.

595 Thunder Pig  Wed, Dec 12, 2007 8:55:31am

Sorry I am late to this one...this is one advantage to maintain multiple accounts where you comment, and if you can catch them at it, use jkn or some such screen capture software, and expose the thing from your blog.

Otherwise, stay away from websites that delete comments or commenters. Don't condone those cowardly acts by hanging around too much.

596 spanner  Wed, Dec 12, 2007 2:57:32pm

Reddit.com do this as well

I criticized ronpaul and laughed at the fact that 70% of people in America had never heard of him. After an exchange in the comments and my down marking ronpaul posts, I found that when I submitted new stories they no longer appeared in the new stories page.

That was reinforced by the absence of visitors from reddit to my site which usually happens after a submission .

So if you criticize or down vote ronpaul posts you are at risk of losing posting privileges.

I have had to create another nick to carry on posting there.

Are you still here?
What a waste of space.
BTW: have you found anyone here with whom you've gotten along?
Thought not.

TKF thinks you're a J.F. Kerry media plant. Care to comment?
TKF is never wrong when it comes to character.

Well said! I'm very disappointed with some here over this CRAP.
