Interrogations won’t work on them if they refuse to stay on the subject, so you just ensure that their comments stay on the subject: your subject.

Given that I can criticize conservatives better than all the Leftist agent provocateurs combined, I feel no lack in quality in writing their own positions for them. Especially if they think they are getting to me.

Like with bullies, if you just ignore them or try to ban them, they sense this as weakness and they’ll keep coming back. Play with them and start making them into helpless punching bags, however, and they start to feel uncomfortable all of a sudden.

They, as is true of criminals, count on our social restrictions to protect them. They get to operate under one set of rules while holding us to a higher set of rules. Just like terrorists, just like Democrats, and I’ve already tolerated far too much of such things already.

It’s been years since my favorite agent provocateurs came to visit my blog. I feel sad and lonely now with nobody to play with.

But I think you’re right. Trolling and abuse have been long-standing features of comments sections. It’s just that the political-based comments are getting worse and worse. When Book unmoderates another comment of mine later, you’ll see some “Terry Tate” videos that contain “hits” on Sarah Palin that are *still* causing me deep upset. It’s been at least an hour, maybe more, and I’m still upset.

Sorry…indefinite pronoun. “she” meaning Betsy.

I have removed the comment box for now. It was just getting very ugly going back and forth. I don’t like the ad hominem attacks. I don’t appreciate people borrowing other people’s names to post insults about someone’s supposed sexuality. And I see no reason why I should provide space for people to insult me and my family. I don’t have time to patrol through many comments and delete such comments so, as Barack Obama would say, I’m taking a hatchet to the problem instead of a scalpel.

When I get time, I will look for another commenting mechanism that will allow more control, preferably one that has commenters register.

My least favorite was the third-fifth opening of the left-door. Sarah would put a bullet through the brains, skin em and cook em! She wouldn’t blow em away with the effect of a fragmentation grenade. Overkill in every sense.

Heh. It’s that old male female thing again. Males compete for females with direct physical competition (or bright colored plumes, if they have them!) and females compete with females with their own physical appearance, and by minimizing other females. It takes less of a toll on their appearance. Scars from dominance fights are attractive on males, less so on females…!

We won’t discuss the internal scars….

Like the Cartoon Jihad riots were instantaneous. The time between event and counter-event was very small because the community organizing had already been done. Feminists had already been organized by Bush’s War in Afghanistan to liberate women; they were organized against it if you recall. Sarah Palin just activated all the little boobytraps the Left had in place just in case women’s issues were raised in a way they could not adequately respond to. It was their emergency plan. Just like when the Islamic Jihad couldn’t deal with the cartoons of Mohammed, they went to their emergency plan of riots.

Excess has become its own goal.

Disorder and destruction were always the Left’s goals. They just tried very hard to hide it. Disorder for disorder’s sake, revolutionary destabilization for destabilization’s sake, were all really goals in themselves. They weren’t just “methods” used to “create a better world” like most of them would claim. THey are de facto goals in themselves. Creating disorder can have no other purpose than creating disorder and the Left would be fully satisfied.

Entropy the watch word of the day here.

There’s something very *unusual* about the level of verbal and physical violence directed at Sarah Palin.

I have heard it said that women have a nasty attitude towards successful, beautiful women that attract men. Could be a gene competition thing. Or it could be feminism’s organized policies of apostasy for women who succeed without the shackles of feminism on them.

Open the door to the left, that’s the funny part. The Oil Rigs in the background was a nice atmospheric touch. If you click on the red phone then if you are like me, you would be saying “Hell Yeah she’d do that to our enemies”.

It was definitely offensive, of course

It is only offensive if you choose to assume that the assumptions behind the comedians are true or even present as an assumption. But of course, my tolerance for such things are much higher than what it once was.

It was definitely offensive, of course, but should I have found it beyond the bounds of hardball politics? Instead I thought it was one of the few attack sites that I’ve run across that *did not* violate my political bounds of acceptability.

I wonder what others here think of that site: acceptable if totally disagreeable; or out of bounds?

I may have missed some of the *tricks* at that page that were really offensive, I don’t know. I actually expected X-rated levels of violence or porn or gore to be thrown in my face as they savaged Palin in every way possible.

I’d love to see Barack receive exactly the same level of treatment as she got at that web site. But of course, THAT would be racism.
