Yeah, I know I said "do not feed the troll" but Jesus. (Scroll down. You know you want to.)
Posted by Andrea Harris at June 20, 2003 10:41 PMFucking hilarious riposte, Andrea:
"Go back to alt.binaries.masturbating.dwarfs and find someone who cares."
Hehehehehehe.
Posted by: Meryl Yourish at June 21, 2003 at 12:01 AMI asked this in Tim's comments, but I really want to know: why did that moron put his spaces before his punctuation? Is that some foreign thing? Because I have trouble taking anyone seriously if they do something stupid like put their spaces before their commas. It's as if the guy was like, "I'm a much better driver than you!", but he goes on reds and stops on greens.
Posted by: Matt Moore at June 21, 2003 at 01:05 AMMaybe it's a protest against fascist punctuation rules.
Posted by: Andrea Harris at June 21, 2003 at 01:38 AMWhat I don't understand, Andrea, is this: why do these silly people keep coming back for more?
Can it really be that they imagine that their back-of-the-short-bus insults pass as witty repartee in any company but their own?
I mean, I had been chortling away to myself that they seemed to have only one way of saying "I am an idiot, but I can't help proving it to the world over and over", and they keep on commenting!
Wetherall had one thing right: you're not in his league. You're actually the most intelligent, sexy, amazing woman on the internet! I want to be your body slave!

Posted by: McGehee at June 21, 2003 at 02:06 PMTrolls in my limited experience are contrarians, but usually you can make them angry. Everyone has a weakness, you just have to exploit it. Trolls always seem to have more soft spots than most.
Posted by: puggs at June 21, 2003 at 03:31 PMAnd to cite a Lyndon LaRouche website!!! Kay-rist on a crutch, can that nim-rod weatherall even begin to appreciate what a bunch of moon-howling wing-nuts the LaRouchies are? Actually, he probably can't. My mistake, sorry.
Posted by: David Crawford at June 21, 2003 at 07:08 PMHemingway punctuated like that . In manuscript . You think Mr. Weatherall has been using Hemingway's typewriter ? Maybe that's what became of the one that was stolen on the train . One might hope that Mr. Weatherall may manage to avoid emulating Hemingway in matters of depression and ordnance .
I hope I don't keep typing like this !
Posted by: Jim Bennett at June 22, 2003 at 12:01 AMI have a cure. It involved a ball-peen hammer and heated tongs, though. You may want to take out some insurance first.
Posted by: Andrea Harris at June 22, 2003 at 12:05 AMMy word, that little punctuation problem seems to be all better now! But thanks for offering to help with it.
Posted by: Jim Bennett at June 22, 2003 at 12:34 AMGee, Andrea, posting comments under other people's names.
That, as we say here, is a brilliant idea!
