We are Under attack!
July 4, 2010
The Jazz Man had a very nasty visitor who went in and insulted his groupies. Rather than confront this poster, the Jazz Man bans him and plays the victim role again.
What is even better than this victim like comment, is the fact some of his own groupies enjoyed the visitor.
The Jazz Man can’t even control his own fans anymore!





Here’s a threaded snapshot of the LGF thread this thread’s about: http://sites.google.com/site/nilstooge/lgf36674

Now that the troll is gone here’s my dilemma…
I suspect that some of my tadpoles are bullfrogs. Maybe about 50%. My first instinct was to kill them off as soon as I can identify them because they are invasive species. However, on second thought I’m leaning towards keeping them and managing the population as a food source.
Any thoughts on what the best option might be?”
As long as you don’t boil them KT, you’re safe.
Cognitive dissonance anyone?
KInda figures that murdering tadpoles would be a real conversation starter at teh swamp.
Looks like CJ deleted all Kool Herc’s posts rather than disemvoweling them.
Wonder if my shiny new sooper-dooper undisemvowelator tool had anything to do with that?
The undisemvowelator seems to be a heavy handed way to produce the original, but it’s still cool. I do the daily crosswords and came up with this in about a minute:
“I’m sorry, but I took a break for a few years and I come back to find that AtlasShrugged is now a hated harpy? Who the hell are you newcomers? Where the hell were you shrimps a few years ago when the REAL blogging battles were being waged?! Back when LGF was breaking news and exposing mad corruption. I peruse the articles now and the comments and found you a bunch of idiots! WAKE UP! Atlas was so ahead of her time it was scary.”
Oop. *mad* should read “media.”
Oh I agree, it’s not practical except as an aid for the mind, but then again it’s just a couple dozen lines of code, a fourth of them comments. I did it like you do crosswords, as a bit of mental fun, and out of curiosity to see how big the potential answer space would be. As you can see, for a disemvoweled comment even that small the potential answer space was on the order of 10^60, a ridiculously large number. Gives me a new appreciation of how well the human brain can work, being able to zero in on a correct reading out of 10^60 possibilities.
But with a dictionary, you should be able to determine most words, and reduce the others to a very small number of alternatives. A semantic check should be able to nail it in almost all cases. It’s sort of a variation on the spellcheck problem, but just different enough to where existing spellcheckers would choke.
The next, easy step is to have the undisemvowelator dictionary in word-frequency-usage order (vs. alphabetical – the way it is now). Then the matches to disemvoweled words would naturally fall out with most likely match first – the current code wouldn’t have to be changed at all. Unfortunately, after a cursory search, I haven’t found any free word frequency lists on the web. Rolling your own WFL would be a whole other, one-off, little problem, interesting in its own right.
Looks like nested replies go only a couple levels deep – NTTAWWT. Sometimes on LGF the nesting is several dozen levels deep – impossible to implement on a fixed-width WP theme like that.
Paranoia is insidious. The animals at the BVoAF need to remember that this is only cyberspace. Attacks only happen in that other dimension called “meatspace”, aka “reality”.
One thing is for sure.He knows his water heads. He ought to. He’s the only water head alive with a ponytail.
Very Cult like, calling out that “we are under attack”.
Also, if he was so awesome of a programmer, couldn’t he have kept this attacker away by the sheer force of his SKILLZ
Jim Jones was telling his followers the same thing before he made them all commit suicide. Of course, Chuck is not Jim Jones but lgf is very cult-like they’re both screwed up in the head.
Under attack!
His Oxy addiction is showing.
Everyone likes a bit of oxyclean first thing in the morning. Clears the sinus, melts some brain matter. Causes uncontrollable rage and paranoia bouts…
Good stuff…feel it tingling all morning long.
Yeah, under attack. A real blog General he is.
Right. Lizards! Under the Denver airport before the racists are over the target!
BTW, waterhead is a term used to make fun of people who have hydrocephalus. This is a condition where people have to have a shunt implanted into their brain to drain off excess cerebrospinal fluid. CJ hates those less fortunate, I guess.
Ridiculing the disabled is cute. Just don’t say “porchmanque”.
There are a surprising number of people online who have neurological conditions, including hydrocephalus and other fluid pressure issues. In general, these people are neither stupid nor crazy, so it’s an issue of Pot, meet Kettle. CJ should concern himself about his own mental acumen and emotional stability, rather than ridiculing others who have overcome considerable challenges.
Well, I get the feeling that sexist and disparaging cracks are OK, so long as Chuckles and his inner circle are dishing them out at “approved’ targets.
That’s a more general progressive trait. It’s a variation on the indulgence; if you’re a prog in good standing, they’ll just look the other way. A current example: Al “Woody Woodpecker” Gore.
