| Visitors from Trollburg... |
| 2002-08-24 |
Recently we've had a couple visits from Trollburg in the comments, and I'd like to welcome the new commuters. Generally I don't delete reader comments except for the occasional duplicate, and I haven't deleted those. I will request, though, that a certain amount of civility be maintained when visiting. That's good manners.anyone with half a brain knows that Saddam Hussein hates wahhabis and people like bin laden. you crooked attempts to produce a link between the two will be exposed sooner rather than later!Now, y'see the problem with this post is that the person making the comment used Or does he actually think we're "morays"? That's obviously not the case. There's no water in my basement, so where would I swim? I suppose the word could be "morons," but I have a hard time understanding how the writer could come to that conclusion. I usually have no trouble tying my shoes or waving bye-bye. I don't happen to agree with the statement that "Saddam Hussein hates wahhabis and people like bin laden." Even though I have at least half a brain, I know nothing of the sort. I've actually been under the impression that Saddam Hussein would use whatever tools were available as long as they helped preserve his personal power, whether he liked them or not. That's my opinion, based on what I consider empirical evidence. No doubt my attempts will be exposed sooner or later, but my opinion remains. On the other hand... You're a idiot really arent you?...Now that's just plain rude and uninformed. Here's a fellow who apparently just popped in for the first time, and he accuses me of idiocy. Since I can tie my shoes, wave bye-bye, and usually find my way home, that's not the case. Nor am I epileptic — the other, less used, definition of idiot. My steady diet of CNN hasn't really left me "brainwashed." I could use a good scrubbing now and then — I do have an occasionally dirty mind — but that hasn't happened recently. Next time I use them as a source, though, I'll keep an eye out for the scrubbers. Those who follow my links (they're in the article titles) know that when they get to the original source for one of these rants they're as likely to end up at Jihad Unspun or Balochistan Post or Laksamana as at CNN, Fox, or Nando Times. The article this comment was attached to was from the Philippines Business World. So maybe my sources are only 50% controlled by an international Zionist conspiracy. Maybe that's why I can't smell the droppings. I think what bothered me about these two was their juvenility and the fact that both by coincidence (I guess, unless they were the same person) indulged in name-calling and "badd spellig". Now, I'm not above a little name-calling myself. I call people all sorts of bad names: "mullahs", "ayatollahs", "tin-hat dictators", "crooks," "Paleostinian legislators", "the Learned Elders of Islam," and — almost daily — "thugs", "gunnies," "snuffies", and "crazed killers." Sometimes I'll even descend to the level of calling someone a "psychopath," usually after they've killed a dozen people or so. But for goodness' sake, try and be a little creative! ("Mormons," indeed!) And work on that spelling. |

| #3 Sir: you forgot "Boomers". It is sad to reflect on why I remember that phrase. |

| #2 Well, I assumed they actually meant "Morans", as in relatives of Erin Moran---Joanie of "Happy Days" and "Joanie Loves Chachi" fame. I figured there must be some dark conspiracy tying Ms. Moran to some nefarious plot against the American people. I went so far as to google up a bunch of links on her, but reading them threatened to put me into a deep, deep coma. At the last minute I shook it off and did something else. So I never did discover whether Erin Moran is part of a Vast Potsie-Wing Conspiracy to...hey! |

| #1 But I'm sure someone could come up with a link between the Mormons, the Smart kidnapping, and the 9/11 terrorism plot. Perhaps the Moran thing is a reference to some backhills Appalachian blood feud, which would incidently explain the spelling. |
