So long, troll boy

Regular readers may have noticed that we've had a troll in our midst. I'm fine with people who disagree with the content of my posts, or who want to debate with commenters, as long as they conduct themselves in a respectful manner and actually have something intelligent to say. I'm not fine with social justice chimps who just want to fling feces through the bars of their cage. So, yes, JC, I will continue to spam, delete and otherwise eliminate your childish drivel until you are capable of rising above the level of merely screaming "F**k you!" at your betters.

I miss him/her/ze/your favorite gender dysphemism already. It was like having your Sunday funnies every day.

Just a more banal humor than your Sunday funnies.

Russian? DNC shill? Or just a personality-disordered asshole? You decide.

Isophorone said...

What I don't get is why trolling like that is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD for some of these people. Don't they have better things to do?

I don't know, Paco. You might want to keep JC. Reading comments like his (more like barking than commentary) does wonders for my self-esteem.

The most absurd thing about trolls is their insistence that every blogger has an obligation to offer them a platform for spewing their ad hominem invective. If JC believes he has such a right, then he is not, as he fraudulently states, "injecting reality", although he may well be injecting opiates, for I do not know where else he could have come by such a preposterous notion. It is transparently dishonest to drop into the comments section of a blog, and immediately proceed to call commenters liars and idiots, and expect to be taken seriously. You bore me, JC, but, by all means, if raving in the comments section of my little blog affords you a harmless outlet for your narcissistic personality disorder, fire away. Perhaps someday you'll write something genuinely interesting. Until then, though, I don't owe you a damned thing.

JC said...

You are a civil servant feeding at the public trough; you certainly do owe me a damn thing. As much as you are galled by the thought, I am your paymaster, flunky.

Gatecrashers have no rights, especially when they wear masks.

JC: C'mon, man. You? A taxpayer? You're too stupid to have a job. In any event, I don't blog during working hours, so, no, I don't owe you a damned thing. But I'll tell you what I'll do, being the charitable and magnanimous fellow I am.

Now, it's easy to say what you're against, and I think we've all figured that out. But what are you for? Why don't you write down your manifesto here in the comments - I know how you Bolsheviks like manifestos - and I'll cut and paste it into a guest post. And I won't make any editorial comments in the post itself. I'll just add a line introducing the post - say, "An alternative view from a progressive" [or leftist or socialist or Democrat; pick your own tribal standard]. I can't do fairer than that. Here's your chance to strike a blow against the very beating heart of the right-wing conspiracy - Paco Enterprises and its readership, numbered in the high severals.

Check it out. Here in Australia we have our own LFL Legends teams:

Paco said...

Yowsah!

JC said...

You flatter yourself with that "high severals"
Why should I spend more than a moment posting anything to your virtual rag? You would just delete it. For example: When I corrected RebeccaH, and posted an accurate timeline of the events of the church shooter/military veteran/bible school counselor, you blithely deleted it.
Don't stay out sick tomorrow; we taxpayers don't like malingerers on our dime.

Paco said...

As I recall, you were handing out gratuitous insults to Rebecca, among others, so, yeah, I don't see any reason to put up with that stuff. Go ahead, write up a summary of what you do believe. I promise I won't delete it, and I'll give you your own guest post.

I have no intention of being out sick and letting down the taxpayers (or you, either). As Chairman of the Commission for Monitoring U-Boat Activity in Chesapeake Bay, I take my job very seriously.

JC said...

No insult directed at Rebecca could ever remotely qualify as gratuitous.

Deborah said...

JC, Paco probably pays more in taxes than you have, ever, so.... As to your "virtual rag" assertion, if so then why are you here?

Veeshir said...

Don't feed the trolls!
That's what it wants.
Ignore it.
Change its comments to something like, "I'm a sad little loser who pees on the neighbor's porch" or something.

Oh, and Paco's a poopy head!
There. I said it.

And I hate the effing whack-a-mole I am not a robot!
I can take clicking three or four store fronts, but the whack-a-mole ones annoy the heck out of me.

Paco said...

Veeshir! So glad you're back!

Yeah, I know, one shouldn't feed the trolls. But I felt sorry for the little feller - whimpering at the back door, begging for attention, covered in ticks.

By the way, JC, where's that manifesto, dude? Your 95 theses, your 39 articles? I want to know what your vision is, your world view. Let it all hang out, son. Offer still goes.

We've been having problems for ages with JC over at the Catallaxy Files site. Just as you banned the jerk here, he ramped up the flaming, abuse, snark and all-round juvenile behaviour at Catallaxy. Same style all the way down.

He's a toxic little swine, you are well rid of him.

When you gave him the arse, he had a tantrum and ramped up the trolling and abuse at Catallaxy.

You are well rid of him

Next thing you'll see here is him squealing about not being the same guy, and asking for an IP address comparison.

As if people had never heard of VPN!

I'm JC from the Catallaxy blog. I'm not the offending JC that Classic says. Classic is a notorious plagiarist who stole a number of threads from American Thinker and passed them off as his own at Catallaxy.

He won't apologize and now goes around fighting windmills. We need to be very careful about Classic, as he's always talking and boasting about his gun collection. It's a little too disturbing for comfort.

Thanks.

MC: Sorry, didn't see your comment before I wrote my initial response to JC at Catallaxy (which I have amended). As I say, I'll look into this. Whether they are the same person or not might be difficult to ascertain definitively, but, from my perspective, I am mostly concerned with the troll in his manifestations here. His views, to the extent they are apparent, amount to nothing but a negation: he dislikes everybody here. Rather than speculate as to what he actually affirms, I have offered him an opportunity to tell us about his world view - an offer that he has, up to this point, declined to take up. I will continue to selectively delete comments that are mere bilious attacks on individual commenters, for the same reason that I would close the bedroom window to eliminate the noise of a cat yowling on the back fence.

RebeccaH said...

Mr. Paco sir, I appreciate your efforts to defend my honor (and the honor of others here). I'm a big girl, though, and I've come across trolls like this many times. Their insults roll off me because I know they're simply posting to hijack a thread and start flame wars with people. For some reason, they think this is "fun". In actuality, they're feeding a desperate need for the attention they can't get in real life. Keep deleting the little twerp if you wish, and he/she/it will eventually get tired of being ignored. Narcissists hate that more than anything.
