lolmac | How to Feed Your Troll

As most people know (or can guess), I keep LOLMac as a very 'public-facing' journal. For example, I allow anonymous commenting -- some of the people who like to drop in and enjoy aren't on LJ, or don't want to use Open ID, or whatever. My only regret for these commenters is that they might not see the replies to their comments, unless they check back.

However, I retain the right to remove, with extreme prejudice, any comment that I find offensive, or that I feel is incendiary. I cheerfully admit to no scruples in this; I want LOLMac to be a safe place to drop in and hang out.

So why am I blathering along instead of posting a silly picture? Okay, here's a picture. (It's a re-run. Click to embiggen.) More blathering under the cut.

This morning, I deleted three abusive comments from LOLMac: two anonymous comments, and one from a sock puppet, It seems that there's an obsessive lunatic out there on the intranets -- whoda thunk? -- with a vicious grudge against a specific person in Stargate fandom. This troll's latest wank is to track down the friends of the friends of the woman she's targeting -- yep, that's right -- and spam them with demands that they 'stop enabling the trolls', which seems to mean 'dump your friends or I will stalk you too'.

Yeah. This bitch came onto my own journal and demanded that I ban my friends, anyone who's a Friend of her primary target.

Well, you can imagine how well that went over. I have now Friended the primary target. So, I'm now a target -- and I already was anyway, given how wide the red circles are being drawn.

I'm expecting that there may be more spam. It's possible that there may be abusive comments posted in response to comments left here. It's your choice: if you ignore the comments, I'll delete them and report them as spam, and file another harassment report. If you choose to respond to the spammer, please feel free to be very rude and offensive and bitch her out to the max. Sweet reason does not work on this psycho.

I am informed that she particularly hates Harry Potter, lesbians, and country music, and that she loves furry porn, creationism, and ABBA. If you aren't able to ignore the troll, please yank her chain hard. We might as well get some fun out of this, right?

ETA: Woohoo! I've been banned from one of her sock puppet journals!

ETA2: Haha! She just posted an anonymous threat here! I've unscreened it so we can have fun with it. Gosh, apparently I pay people to do my bidding. I always wanted minions, but geez, I gotta pay them?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Fifteen years?! Yeeks! (I learned to fight back when I was three or four, thankfully. Yeah, the married-student-housing apartment complex at a law school is an interesting place to raise a kid. ;P Busy adults + lots of kids + giant fenced yard = social microcosm of mainly unregulated bully-ocracy. But it seems bullies react well to being punched in the stomach by an undersized ball of fury whose best friend is threatened. *g* Is that what we're doing here?)

'the sacred being in which I believe is the kind who can create something as spine-tinglingly magnificent as evolution. I see the hand of the ~~diety~~ deity [sorry *g*] in the periodic table.'

YES YES THIS SO MUCH. *loves* I will spare you the incoherent baby-scientist flailing about all the stuff I don't really understand, such as how the world is built out of pretty numbers and possibly crocheted from a strand of space-time spun out of a singularity, but... YES. :D *has not the brain to be a quantum mechanic...ist... or whatever - sadface*

(I think I had something more I meant to say, but I keep getting distracted by my desktop slideshow of geology landscapes. I mean, the sedimentary ones alone: the amount of time and care, the painting of layers and then all the carving and erosion and ART that obviously went into Banff National Park for instance, and especially the way we can read every step of it and see exactly how it was done... *has entirely lost sight of her point, if she ever had one*)

'I would feel sorry for the benighted evangelists who can't, with their limited God who is so lacking in imagination, subtlety and might -- but they piss me off too much, so I no longer pity them.'

*nodnod* My last English teacher was like that. He kept sounding off in class about how you can't be Catholic (he claimed to be Catholic, although of the many beliefs he aired I didn't see any familiar ones) and a paleontologist at the same time because blah blah blah. *Catholic* *baby paleontologist* *grade freak, therefore does not rip the prof a new one with SKIENCE* *g*

*but still pities him, because*
