Comments

I think commenting is working now. Fire away.

Virginia Hoge and Topix

I've been informed by Virginia that she's being harassed by right wing trolls on Topix. She's written some very good research and observations on the NSA's infiltration of social networks and commenting services such as a Topix, but them in particular.With the release of the Wikileaks "spyfiles" this is all but proven now, we know that the American intelligence establishment and their contractors are running an information war on commenting threads and social networks like Facebook. These sites and services are too willing to hand over private information to the national security state to the point that we need to ask who some of them really are.

Comments word salad

Not claiming to have reinvented the wheel here (cut-ups), but these made a good polyglot that makes more sense than most of the news these days. If Donald Rumsfeld can do it, so can I:

"I love smoking weed and shit, but cowards never do: I've only smoked Mr. Smiley twice--the first time was fucking insane, I got retarded high off like 3 hits of a blunt from behind a whorehouse two-way mirror. By the way, he fucks good when there were tears at the Kenyan Embassy.

Bin Laden's death could inspire new attacks, so I saved the rest, then I got home from work and smoked what was left. He wants to have two women at a time like porn stars but I can't shit you: it's like I was tripping acid, yo. I started hearing voices and started hallucinating.

A guy said, 'Mark Byers, stop hideing behind the bible and be a man' but people it was awesome. I would rather love to smoke weed and proclaim: 'Own up to what you did, Mr Smiley, because he is the same Jack [Burkman] in 2011.' "

And so, with a little tweaking, three comments become a cause for my personal safety. Tah!

Input meters: use 'em

WWW--Wendy reminded me of another thing: those little buttons below each article that have "Reactions" to the left (where else?) are there for a reason as are the comments sections for each post. I want your constructive input. Do it. Chime in. Say something. Use your brain. All anonymous posts that are not constructive or productive will be rejected every single time, over and over again.

If you have something relevant to say, I'm all ears, I won't bite. I treat commenters exactly as they treat me, so if you come here with reasonably pure intentions, your tone is generally logical and friendly or even neutral, you have nothing to worry about. If they're not, and you pen something the wrong way, I'm going to make an example of you and eat your ass alive, and handily.

See the link for my comments policy on my profile, it's there for a reason, and every season, and seasoning the minds of the right with logic-bombs is part of the fun here, good for laughs-and-lashings of the intellectually ultraviolent.

Have a great fuckin' evening!

NOTE: COMMENTING FOR EVERYONE ENABLED!

I've enabled commenting for non-Google members. Here's the rules, and if you don't follow them, I'll delete your comments and block you from the site permanently:


1. Only constructive and civil comments. Non-negotiable.

2. No trolls. If I notice you, you're gone. You won't be tolerated here. Why? Because. Start your own blog, shithead, it's your right.

3. No advertising bots, though if you want to promote your blog, that's fine, though I won't hesitate to delete ones that promote right-wing agendas/ideologies, or anything advocating the overthrow of the United States government (it's illegal since 1940). Again, go create your own blog.

4. Not set-in-stone, but please try to keep on-topic if a thread exists. However, if you attempt to hijack the dialog, you'll be ejected permanently (see 2).

5. Any comments that advocate any violation of state and federal law, implicate yourself at: your own blog.

6. Friendly discussion/dialog is always welcome on this site.

777. You can always disagree with the opinions posted here, but you had better come-prepared. Don't bring a butter-knife to a gunfight. In-other-words, are you up to it? Do you have anything pertinent to add? Things to consider.

8. Friends can always tell me to 'get fucked.'

9. Any new facts you can bring here makes you my hero.


Otherwise, if you want to write about your mother's douche-bag, the time your dog died, actual intellectual dialogues, why punk still sucks, the bully everyone piled-on, a brush-with-death, your herpes warts, why you hate the GOP, your favorites things, your first or best-lay (usually not your first-one), how to give better blow-job instructions for the ladies, a brush with the famous, a crime you witnessed, your war-stories, or when you first dropped-acid or smoked pot--you go, girl!

Everyone's free to disagree, but you had better have a good argument here, and state your case with some prior thought invested in your post. But, if you just want to 'chat' and play nice, that's cool too. If you want to talk sex, that's fine, as long as it's nothing related to pedophilia or bestiality. Normal human-beings are intolerant of these things.

Postscript, 12.29.2008--Since the time of this post there were abuses, so I screen comments. Don't like it? I don't care.
