Fun With Trolls
Dean
I mostly ignore hate mail, but once in a while it's fun to play with the trolls. Case in point, the brilliant Jacob Karsemeyer:

you are the model american.
Easy to fool and tough to change.
So much faith in something that has given him so little.
You have had the wool pulled over your eyes and your loving every second of it.
Poor ignorant old man.
I hope you expire soon. The world hates you and your arrogant narrow minded politics.

Im looking at you.... so your a mirror?
meaning the only way you can argue is with childish and simple argument tricks like reflection?
good show..

Till the next time.
Im glad I got paid to look at your ugly site. (jeeeeez... cant you bush loving idiots find anyone throw together a site that doesnt look like an ingredients list?)

You're merely describing yourself.
If you ever want to take the blinders off and learn something, spend more time on my site. But you'll have to lose the hate that obviously consumes you and actually open your mind to new ideas.
Peace.

are you really that stupid?
did you not read my message?
I HAVE NO BLINDERS... I HAVE CHECKED YOUR SITE... I SEE OVER ALL OF YOUR 'IDEAS' THEY ARE NOTHING NEW... I JUST SEE PAST THEM AND THROUGH THEM.. AND CAN SEE THAT THEY ARE IGNORANT AND TERRIBLE IDEAS
and i am NOT describing myself.. I made that painfully clear in my last message
Im young.. virile.. brilliant... on my way to being incredibly wealthy... popular.. well adjusted... calm and happy... in control... and most importantly...
One of the best critical thinkers of our age.
thats right I said it.
Now go have fun with your TERRIBLE novel idea. Im sure the 300 people tha tvisit your site because they have nothing better to do with their pathetic lives will buy it.
lighten up. Smarten up. Grow up.
good day

Heh.
You're a funny guy.
Dean
(hide)
This is pure genius, no? How can you top this Karsemeyer guy? I savor every moment of this exchange.
oh god i am dying
jacob jingleheimersmith, where are u published o great critical thinker of our age?
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
"Zo, young man; tell me about your mother..."
Dolt. See also: Jacob Karsemeyer.
I, personally, am deeply impressed by how he HAS NO BLINDERS, yet he can see "past and through" your "ignorant and terrible ideas." All without actually, y'know, addressing them. But then, I suppose a young virile genius like him can see right thru and "old man" like you in a flash.
Maybe you should consider wearing a thicker-fabric shirt? And some Grecian Formula?
It was a revelation to discover that only 300 people visit this site. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you! They must all visit twenty times every day to keep the numbers up.
Now. About that bit about "calm, happy, and in control..."
Heh.
Stalin called them "useful idiots." History showed them to be very useful, effective and efficient for the short term gathering of political power and governing authority.
The Dems and their cronies at the MSM are mass producing them.
May want to stop laughing and start worrying about who'll get the last laugh.
Charles Schumer, John Edwards, Karsemeyer... they're the same guy.
Hypothetically speaking, of course. I'm not a prophet.
Jacob Karsemeyer. Yup. That's a name that just oozes virility.
Dean...
He wrote this in caps.
You can't argue with caps.
CAPS ARE THE TRUTH.
BOW DOWN TO THE MIGHT AND WISDOM OF CAPS.
I'm (not) impressed. He appears to be a gaming fan boy and not even a very good one at that. He aspires to be a game designer but isn't taking much in the way of programming, and is seeking to test games for a living (read play video games all day). On the way to stardom, that one.
Wait a minute... if he's so virile... why does his Mom say I am a better lover than him?
{running and ducking for cover}
Assuming he's the same Jacob Karsemeyer Buddy linked to above, he currently has a "job" reading Web sites. He runs blog searches for names of video games; and then he compiles a tally of how favorably consumers react to different games, based on their blog posts and comments. Some company, apparently, considers this a reasonably valid research tool, and pays him to do this. And this is the foundation of his plan to become independently wealthy.
So all in all, I blame Andrew and his video game posts.
Ewww...
Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.
Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
