Smoky gray seagulls,
Diving into the water,
Eager for their catch.
Just because you can copy and paste doesn't make you a smart man, Alon.
Oh, please, Anon. Go take a walk. Go take a walk to Rabobank. Take a deep breath. Open your eyes. Your life here on earth is a very, very short one. Stop wasting your time.
HaHaHaHaHa
The very closed minds shutout all they disagree with! Ann being the perfect example!
Ha Ha: I'm sure the irony is lost completely on you, but you are in a mode called "projection" (complete description is psychological projection) where you accuse your opponent of exactly the same thing you are doing. As I see it, Ann isn't disagreeing with you per se, she is suggesting that your apparent preoccupation of trying to shout down just about any civil comment made here is most likely shortening your life and you would most likely benefit from getting out of the house by taking a walk, stopping to smell the flowers, and pause to think about what you are doing with your life. Is coming here to try and troll by posting mean comments the only thing that brings you joy in life? That is very sad if that is the case, and I hope that you do have something of value in your life that does bring you joy, satisfaction and possibly a positive reason for living. If coming here is your little guilty joy, then perhaps as Ann stated, you are wasting your time.
Bob. Couldn't have said it better myself. Chronic, pointless malice can be an addictive "little guilty joy," as you note, but it's also always pointless and a complete waste of time.
Ann, you are a very big hypocrite and if you can see that, then you are only fooling yourself and the very small few who have read your tripe over the years!
Mousy, once again the unanswered question: Since you feel the way you do, why do you keep coming back to this blog again and again and again? Makes no sense. Except as an addiction to your own malice. Or, as Bob puts it, your "little guilty joy."
Nicely done BSL. We have a freshly laminated psychotherapist licence available to you, Valid for one year any where on the World Wide Web.
Just pick it up at the front desk of the Dr Perlman Clinic at the downtown location, corner of Adler and Buchon.
Alon, have you been deported back to Israel yet? Your English sucks!
mr anon,
not only are you a real pain in the butt with your negativity, you're a bigot.
go away.
Ann: First rule of dealing with trolls- ignore them. The one thing they thrive on more than anything else is a response, any response, and the more outraged the response is, the more "joy" they get from the response. Once a troll learns that they can comment over and over again and no one responds to them, they eventually give up. It isn't easy, but it is the only way to deal with them with any effectiveness. Resist the temptation to respond.
Bob. True, true, for most "normal" trolls. Sewerville Trolls are a different breed of cat. But you're right, they do feed off of any response. Unfortunately, they also feed off their own posted malice. Something out seeing it posted there on the page that gives them a secret thrill. Like scribbling on a wall at midnight while sniggering.
On the other hand, Anonnymouse here has been in addictive, repetitive "rerun" mode for years now. Been there, done that, replay, replay, replay. So maybe it's time to change the channel by hitting the delete key when he/she gets beyond stupid? Whadda ya think?
Ann: If you have the option of blocking or deleting comments by specific individuals, I would agree with you that it would be a good idea in this case. Of course, the person will most likely scream about having their First Amendment rights curtailed, but having the ability to say anything doesn't mean one has the right to say anything anywhere, so perhaps they could start their own blog where they can spew all the crap they want.
Bob FSL,
Blogger has few options; get a google account to comment or leaving it open. There's arguments to be made on both options. For most people, open comments are easier (no "captcha" to go through) and the vast majority of commenters, even Anons, have some common sense and manners. Then there's the crazies. Luckily, there's only a very, very few of those. And at one point I had to make this site a [name who shall not be mentioned here]-free zone, and delete other crazies and that seemed to settle them down for a while.
As for deleted Anons screaming about "First Amendment rights," that would be because he/she doesn't understand that that Amendment only applies to the Government, not you or me.
It's always amusing to me that it's so easy to get a blog of your own so, as you put it, "they can spew all the crap they want," but these guys/gals won't do that because they know nobody would come visit their All Crap All The Time Blog. NORMAL people don't waste their time visiting and commenting on blogs they hate. but these guys/gals can't quit me, which is why I call them my Fanboys.
But even Fanboys need a delete when they get too stupid.
And at one point I had to make this site a [name who shall not be mentioned here]-free zone
Haven't you been lectured in person that [name who shall not be mentioned here] has not been writing on here?
Grow up, Ann.
The point, name who is not to be mentioned, is that when crazy gets too crazy, that's what often happens, and by posting this comment you just contradicted yourself about "not writing here." And by lecture, do you mean the time you and your Mom came into the place where I work, while I was working, to interrupt my work, take up my time -- while I was on the clock, at work -- to complain whine about a NON-ISSUE? That wasn't a "lecture," that was harassment. Now, shoo.
It just proves you can't teach an old corrupt fool integrity she never hand. Disgusting.
Typo alert!
You can't teach an old corrupt fool integrity she never had.
Hahahaha roflmao...
You mean I'm not the only one who thinks Ann has no idea who or how many are laughing at the old crone!
Keep up the great game Ann, we all need some comedy in Sewerville. We're sure glad you've always twisted the sewer war into something you've never understood. Keep us laughing at you!
Ann,
When Aaron and I came into the store (where you work) we were shopping and dining on the Embarcadero.
I'm sure the owner of the store wouldn't want you to discourage ANY shoppers or harass them for shopping there.
We had (what I thought) was a pleasant conversation, certainly no harassment. Aaron used the word "lecture" in his response to your false assertions only because he and I wanted to assure you that neither he nor I blog on your site, although we do read it every so often to catch wind on what's going on in Los Osos.
It is a lie on your part to say we harassed you at your work place. If someone lies about one thing, it's a sure bet they'll lie about something else, and you KNOW that is a lie. We were shopping and had a casual conversation in the store. So what.
It's not a very nice thing to accuse someone of something they didn't do let alone broadcast it on your site.
I thought you were better than this, Ann.
Pam
Sorry Pam, you should by now know that Calhoun puts her own spin on what she thinks she hears and isn't necessarily reality.
Oh, pluueeze. Now, shoo, all of you.
Say again: There's a difference between opinion, discussion, comments, and pointless malice, childish bone chewing and boring, repetitive neener-neering. Enough, already.
So, shoo.
Ann: Good for you. Perhaps they will get the message? Maybe?
Bob, from your lips to God's ears. Of course, God would likely say, "ears, schmears, that's why i invented the "delete" button."
