Well readers, this is what I have to contend with sometimes. Extremists tend to attack anything that doesn't fit their world view. There's a group at the Joe Blow Report blog that decided to attack me on May 31st and who posted a hate-filled rant about a column I did on trolls (of all the ironies!) This is a group that has the mind-set of a steel trap.
Now they have their crying towels (it took them two weeks to think of a reply) out and are blubbering to all that will read their raving. I'm not going to be intimidated by a bunch of cowards who are whining about a conspiracy between me and the Times-Standard to attack trolls! Good grief! Get a life you blowhards.
I don't know who you think you are, but I do know that you seek to impose your will upon others by reading your past posts. Now you think you can silence me by making outrageous accusations and trying to get the newspaper to drop my column. Guess again gang. You'll never be able to silence me. You best bet is to change your soiled diapers and to find someone else to pick on!

Go for it Dave, kick more sand in their faces...you'll feel better in the morning. I heard some rumor that these trolls work for the City of Eureka, and they are using our "tax Payeer paid" ISP services to publish their crap.
So much for cutting back on the fat in certian city governments.
There's more to the rumor than you think!
I checked my stat counter - which shows IP addresses and there were numerous visits from The City of Eureka since the day they posted that attack against my Troll column.
They checked in again Monday when I posted a reply to their insanity.
Whoever they are, they're not oo bright!
This kind of thing demeans both of you - I'd advise dropping it and moving on. You both have better things to do.
Rise above. Both of you.
Damn! Moderation - honestly, open it up!
You're right Rose.
I'm not going to dignify this latest attack from the Joe Blow Report with a response.
I made that mistake the first time and get lured into their attack game by trying to respond to them.
What a waste of time.
Just make your points quietly and clearly (Desiderate), and keep moving forward.
I have to say that Kimberly's response is exactly what I would do if I were her - "These issues have nothing to do with the Times-Standard newspaper. This is an issue between you and Mr. Stancliff and your respective blogs. He is not a Times-Standard employee nor do his views neccesarily reflect the views of this newspaper."
In this instance that is exactly correct, even if upsetting - but, perhaps a (anonymous) blogger would be allowed a response "My Word." Worth asking.
Both you and "Joe" have good points - the use of the "troll" definition is overused and is used as a means to avoid real discussion and dissenting views AND real trolls do exist and are a problem on the internet.
I do have to laugh, though, it is always the lefty blogs who employ "moderation." Sorry.
