Idiot

on Haters

I got my very own Neocon Fedayeen. I just wish he were brighter.

In honor of this occasion, I have created a new category called Haters. Hate mail, hate comments, whatever will be copied into this category. And in honor of the Fedayeen, I'll point out the absurdity in his post just because he's the first at this address. Everyone else will get straight copied to the post, with email address and I.P. the well-wisher posted from.

Later this week I'll make a template that will display all haters. I think I'll add a line on the sidebar that gives a count of them as well. And I'll look into an add-in that lets me filter out categories as opposed to adding them in. That way I can keep it off the index page.

This is just a policy being established. Haters get copied to the Haters category. This way I can respond without getting involved.

Now, on to the hater.

Just stumbled upon this site today while doing a google search. WOW! I haven't such an extensive collection of crap in a long time. Thanks for the laugh.

By the way, if you somehow make money off this site, you should be sending royalties to limbaugh. You wouldn't have anything to write about if not for the rush bashing.

Yes, that's Nathan R Aaron at IP 66.168.15.135, email address (at least the one he left) [email protected].

The reason he's an idiot is, as of there are 1414 posts, including this one, on this site of which exactly seven, including this one, refer to Limbaugh in any way. Only two were from my own hand and he was the actual subject in neither. And one of those was something I wrote in 1996 that I posted when I was figuring out how to work these blog thingies. That's a fair representation of the degree of interest I have in the gentleman.

I'm deciding whether this is evidence he didn't actually read the site or that he can't read.

Yeah, I get some of those. I also have some trolls that lurk a lot and occasionally post comments. One of them has been around for a full year now. At first, he used to post links to my site in the comments section of a blog whose name I will not mention, trying to depict me as an Islamofascist. Finally, early this year he started posting comments at my site. At first, he seemed to be doing it to stir up trouble. But I think he figured out that I'm just waiting for an excuse to ban him, so he's mostly gone back to lurking.Random trolls I usually just delete their comments when I find them. Occasionally if what they wrote was really bad, I document it at another site, but mostly I don't bother. Other people (like the guy who keeps hanging around my blog) start out at least attempting to discuss/debate with me. In that case, I give them two warnings before I take action against them. If they persist in posting abusive comments, I use a couple of MT plugins to display their comments without the vowels. Most of them get tired of having their comments come out as gibberish and give up at that point.Most of the troll comments aren't too much worse than the one that P6 mentions here, usually directed at my religion. A few have used abusive and/or threatening language.There are a lot of crazies out there.
