Oh, well, to hell with it. Over and out; I expect I’ll have more to say — if I’m allowed to, and possibly not all at one time — another time.

Am I being inflammatory and provocative just by posting this message? Yes, I am. Should I be punished for my insolence by banishment? Well, I guess we’ll see.

You’re a troll, ‘Wasp. You’re on the majority side, but you’re a troll.

Jeez, it’s just now that I realized that I was so angry over Wasp’s blatantly dishonest post that I didn’t type in my name: That’s “tequilamockingbird”.

Since this comment thread has been superceeded and will soon fade away, I’d like to ask you a couple of questions.

You know you’ve been banned and you know that you have taken active measures to evade the ban by morphing your IP. You know that your views do not receive a “welcoming response”. You know that the tactics you use are not appreciated. But yet, you persist.

Why? I’d like to gain some insight into the mind of a troll. Is it a mission? Do you think you will gain converts to your views? Do you seek the negative attention?

BTW, the violations of TOS are rather more than repetitive posting and have been documented.

‘Wasp, the depth of your ignorance and hatred truly astonishes me. I’m sincere: What in the hell is wrong with you, you twisted psycho?

“You know you’ve been banned” — well, to a certain extent. I gave neo a smart-alecky response to a threat I considered unwarranted — the accusation that I was “spamming” when I posted three or four unanswered messages in the middle of the night over a period of 15 or 20 minutes — and I was indeed banned for a period of a day or two, which I thought was extremely unjust; I attempted to post and was denied access.

I was trying to respond, by the way, to death threats from you. And I should be banned for posting messages too quickly?

I’m sorry that you are not sufficiently educated to spell the word “superseded”, but let’s pass over your ignorance in that respect.

You said: “You know you’ve been banned” — see above — and “you know that you have taken active measures to evade the ban by morphing your IP.”

That’s absolutely untrue. Ask neo, or her sitemaster, or whoever.

‘You know that your views do not receive a “welcoming response”.’

Yes, I know that; my political beliefs are at odds with neo’s, yours, and the majority of the people on this site. That’s the whole point, as far as I’m concerned; I don’t contribute to — or even read — any political blog where people hold my views. This is the only one I participate in! It gives me an opportunity to talk to people who hold different political views than I do! Some of them are morons, some of them are bigots, some of them are reasonable people who deserve consideration. I don’t participate in, and I don’t want to participate in, circle jerks where everybody reinforces their common beliefs. That’s apparently what you want.

“BTW, the violations of TOS are rather more than repetitive posting and have been documented”.

Well, ‘Wasp, over the last couple of years I have lost it and lapsed into obscenity — I would say three or four times. I was embarrassed and ashamed that I allowed that to happen, and I apologised every time. Except, perhaps, the last time, three or four months ago, when I experienced difficulty logging on, and as I said, I thought that I had been bounced for what I ackno
