That my time is up in the meatspace is a little upsetting, maybe. What does that mean?
Not sure. It either means he is suffering some sort of life threatening illness, or maybe he’s all agog about Gog and Magog.
Maybe this will help ?

Goodbye cruel world! Call me!
?
“Call me!”
and send cash!
“Come closer Dork Falcon…for my time is short and my eyes grow dim”……
Exactly what post by windsock or whatever upset him so much as to leave.
It had to be a doosy.
Windbaggio was getting all in a huff that pro-Israeli posters were accusing UNIFIL of being in cahoots with the Lebs/Hezzies.
Well I went and read that thread and Cato is right…..
the anti-Israel coming from posters and especially that one was beyond the pale and cj just left that crap up.
Not to mention the ignorance….
Oh wow.
You go Cato.
How can anyone think the UN is NOT in cahoots with islamonutz? What is it like 90% of the resolutions they friggen pass that are against ISRAEL? Out of all of the atrocities going on in the world they focus on Israel’s self defense and/or their construction@!!~!111@1!!!!
Teh stupid runs deep at the swamp these days.
m, its not just teh stupid. The opinion of the posters has changed at lgf and Israel is no longer defended. This might be the hill the last few old timers decide to die on. Bet CJ won’t ban them, that way he can pretend its them and not him.
And the decline goes on and on
How many comments did Cato have ? Me thinks he was one of the most prolific posters over there.
26,000 and umpty-ump.
Hehe and thanx. But I doubt that he will leave. He allways came back. Interesting that Mandy is on his side. If I remember right he bullied her over and over again. The remaining old guard must be very distressed.
He can always come over to The Blogmocracy.
I guess that damn dog ate his original flounce.
Interesting.
Number 23.
You are an imbecile.
Cato had at least some flavor – bitter chard , but flavor, and originality.
His wordsmanship was deft and cutting.
He diminished himself in his deference to Charles and his irrational vituperation of Palin.
I do not know what to think of the “meatspace” allusion to mortality.
I do not think that meatspace Cato will find meatspace companionship. His persona is only tolerable online.
Tant pis.
i bet cj blocks him and deletes his crappy poems…’cause that’s the kinda guy he is…..
That’s a funny thread – snapshot at comment #666 here in threaded form if anyone’s interested.
Lots of drama and funny lines (e.g. “…chain-downdinged”…).
Brookly Red was gettin’ lots of heat, as were some of the other unpopular (typically old-time) lizards.
Beginning of new kids kick out the old kids and Israel goes under the bus unambiguously?

That “Lidane” is a weird one. Have you seen her/his/its avatar? Some hard bitten looking anime chick with riding crop…
I’m guessing she/he/it is one of the S&Mer’s over there.
No I’ve never seen the avatar, but I have noticed that Lidane is (I think) one of the new breed, true leftists (vs an old-timer concern troll).
Lidane’s one of the top ten posters when it comes to recent average karma – averaging 3.12 updings per post
Ha! I first read the name as “Lindane”– a medication to kill body lice and scabies (I was a pharmacy tech for a long time, you learn some very weird things!)… Would be a fitting name, since leftards are notoriously filthy and nasty creatures. That Li(n)dane thing, being a leftard, would know all about scabies and body lice, from firsthand experience.
We have it on expert authority that Cato’s just butthurt and will be back:
That settles that.
And the Quack Quack should know ALLLLL about being the primadonna.
And for whatever this is worth:
Mandy concurs:
Quelle surprise…
Here’s the #344 Mandy and Cato were replying to:
Lulz:
Funny how all this comity manque happened on a monkey thread.
Perch Manque.
Here is flounce No.1 that everyone ignored:
This from the 36884 thread (Cato draws a distinction between this place and hell, which is as close to a compliment as we’ll ever get from him):
Ah damn I looked so mush forward to greeting him.
I will roast in hell before I say anything bad about this place elsewhere or go to the stalkers.
But the stupidity quotient here is more than I can take
———————– uh, Cato, you just said something bad about the place in the next sentence.
So I guess you are already roasting in Hell. Mmmmm. Gamey old bitter man buttocks
Not a lame flounce at all. There is no glory in leaving an angry goodbye message.
Cato the Elder was one of the finest posters on LGF, a bit grumpy at times and to my left politically, but he wrote with humour, wit, and style.
I too found the moonbat hecklers too much to bear, they have poisoned what remains of a once vibrant online community. The silly use of meaningless emoticons and constant passive-aggressive jibes typify the lower standards of discourse that dominate the new LGF. An empty collection of husks with very few seeds.
There is a fair amount of stupidity in Cato’s comment about not saying anything bad about the place, or going to the stalkers.
What is he being loyal to? A place with a high stupidity quotient?
And who would know or care if he came over here and disparaged the stupids over there under a new nic: how about “Taco”?
He has never avoided being being disliked.
But, as I have said, his was an original voice.
Overlook,
Why would he go someplace that has been nasty to him? (Don’t get me wrong, I wish he would.)
Also, there is no rule that says he must slam the place once he has left. His very leaving is a significant blow to that relic of a blog.
Charles set his standards low enough and they were fully met.
One of the finest posters on LGF..well that’s not saying much. Considering he is the most vile vicious vulguar pos that attacked Mandy at the bequest of another vile vicious pos, Weasil. (course Mandy must like that abuse as she comes back to defend him) And any grown man who mocks and degrades a child such as he does the child of Sarah Palin does not deserve the air he breathes.
Personally I don’t give a damm if he leaves or stays but he is not leaving. He is a poor little boy who wants attention.
He’s an unprincipled attention whore and a drama queen.
The mistake that you’re making is accepting the underlying assumption that the poisonous atmosphere there is the doing of all the noobs, and not of Mr. Johnson himself. You need to decompress a little more. Then it will come into focus: Mr. Johnson drove the transition. He drove the old out, and invited (and in some cases privileged) the new.
This wasn’t some nefarious scheme from the outside, this is his plan. And it’s not finished, either. He’s using spacejesus to send up the antisemitic trial balloons, but in the end, Israel is going to be under the bus, and the terrorists are going to be heroes, and when that happens, the rebranding will be complete.
It won’t be long.
of all the finest posters who made fun of a child with Down’s syndrome.
fuck Cato.
We do NOT need that cranky, mentally ill, old fart over here. He should just piss off and start his own Palin hate/stalking/conspiracy blog. It seems to be some sort of sick obsession to that twisted, ugly freak.
You reveal yourself to be an angry freak with your hatred and personal insults.
It is not the first time he has done this, won’t be the Iast either.
The last time he said good bye he was back the very next day.
Yeah the ‘leave my account open so I can get my poetry” is a little hokey. The poems were a new thing for him, so there wasn’t a huge collection (unlike Buzz’s), and you’d think he’d have a local copy already just in the process of composing them. (Funny how Buzz’s ban seemed to create a poetry void over there that some, like Cato, were compelled to fill.)
Like you say, not the first flounce for Cato, probably not the last. But it does illustrate the tension over there between the new guard, true believing, bona fide leftists and the old guard putative conservatives who’ve been converted to never-satisfied concern-trolls by CJ’s 180 degree political turn.
Maybe he is saying goodbye because he has some other obligation like, say…… a jail sentence.
I could picture a loser like him being involved in something like check fraud.
That – a jail term – would explain the ‘missing from meatspace too’ angle of the flounce. He has had some meatspace contact with other lizards that an absence from might require an explanation:
Wow… That is one weird and creepy comment by Walter…
I will say this for Cato; before he went off the rails on his wild Palin Derangement Ride, he was an interesting guy to talk to. I have some downloads of a literary/Biblical exchange he and I had maybe a year and a half, two years ago, in which I deeply enjoyed the erudite and respectful exchange.
We had a little clash over verses—he very emphatically didn’t like one of mine, and was not in the least circumspect in saying why—which I found nettling, but too much easy praise is good for nobody. In recognition and appreciation of his serving the role of the slave muttering, “You are mortal” to the honoree of a Triumph, I avoided commenting on his verses, about which the less said the better.
I think that his walking off of Yertle’s place not because of any direct quarrel with Yertle or his pet rodent, but because he would no longer post on a site where certain noxious posters were tolerated, shows a certain character—and I salute him for it, if slightly grudgingly.
BSW – yep, the Cato I remember before my ethically enforced exile was interesting, and fun. When I first learned of his Palin Derangement Syndrome and misogynist remarks, I have to say I was really taken aback.
I think we might see Cato here, but certainly not under that nic – but it’s more likely he’ll come back in a week or two. From all accounts, this is Cato’s only social network and outlet.
But Cato – if you cruise by, I applaud you for not following the herd mentality and throwing Israel and the Jews under the bus. Because I have no doubt in my mind that Charles Cockroach Johnson is paving the way to do just that.
Agreed. Cato showed good character is exiting the way he did, as he did by subtly mocking the freaks while he was there. Much of what he said was misunderstood without this context.
Those surprised by his exit missed the points he made, those who knew how to read him were counting the days.
Cheers Buzzsawmonkey, you are a mench.
Cato the Ogre will be back begging for money soon enough.
Once upon a time, you could agree to disagree there, strongly if it was the case, but there was always a common thread at the end of the day.
For whatever reason, (I have my own opinion) it became what it is today. I had plenty of good exchanges with Cato, and of course I thought he was totally wrong on others.
The difference being, most rationale folks, were either banned, walked, or never went back once it became evident that place jumped the shark. Others did their best to try to hold on, finding what redemption they could of what might still have been there, only to find reality hitting them upside the head like a tire iron eventually.
The inverse, are those who stayed, willingly I might add, knowing the bar had been lowered, and often looking to set the bar even lower themself. Cato participated in that. Some of the Palin stuff was beyond comprehension. Going after Zombie, etc.
It is what it is.
Very well put.
Cato is an assh*le.
Poor Haku.
Cato’s a drama queen. He’s desperate for attention and respect, which are sorely lacking in meatspace.
He won’t stop posting at LGF, unless he is banned. Which is a distinct possibility.
I found his persona off-putting, with just a little too much stilted arrogance in his overall tone. I appreciate characters, in general, but I found his character unappealing. I’m not even the world’s greatest Palin-fan, but I like her a helluva lot more than I like the goons who are constantly attacking her.
Attention whore will be posting soon, its a fact.
I love the ‘God Bless us, every one’ at the end. So now he’s Tiny Tim!!!!
There is nothing “tiny” about him.
is Ned back posting yet?
Won’t be long. He has no life
HI NED !
The re-entry was even more lame than the “Flounce”
Pathetic……
1. yet another test of commenting on DoD.
Since I can’t seem to post to the current thread…
