The Sarah Lover Show is over

August 10, 2010

We are very patient here at theBlogmocracy/Diary of Daedalus. We love debate and taking on Progressives is a hobby, but enough is enough. After consulting with the other Admins, we have come to an agreement. It’s time to end the side show that is Sarahlover. Rather than come in and debate, this individual whom some suspect is Cato and others think it’s the Neo-Fascist Ludwig (to me it doesn’t matter), was hurling Hispanophobic lies and using Jews as a political weapon and disrespecting their religion. We tolerated this troll more than we would be tolerated at LGF.

This post I feel is needed to explain our decision to our readers.

        Biggest tipoff was the over-emoticonizing, a posting habit of this one that drives Cato absolutely crazy. Its posts are also very high-schooly cutesy-wutesy when attempting insults.

    Bravo. They had their “say,” more like trolling, and now we bid them adieu.

    Some people bring nothing to the table, and as such, they shouldn’t be allowed to sit and comment.

    So SHUT UP.

  3. August 10, 2010 at 3:00 pm | #10

    All posts pertaining to sarahlover are now deleted.

    I have spoken.

      Ok, Charles!

      (hey I had to – now there will be comments to nobody all over the threads the last few weeks)

    • August 10, 2010 at 3:21 pm | #12

      I am disappointed about that actually. Wasn’t that one of the things we despised at the BVoAF? They should have been kept around at least as an example of tolerance on our parts.

        Well there comes a time when there isn’t any attempt at discussion is being made – only the attempt to invoke an emotional response. At that point there’s no point in response or carrying any further.

      Why? Don’t you know how to just block future comments by sarahL? Deleting comments is a lousy practice and unless ist is a technical thing, you should rethink this move. It reeks of Charles Johnson.

      • Heracles
        August 10, 2010 at 3:31 pm | #16

        Not really. Johnson deletes and blocks people for merely disagreeing with him.Sarahlover came here with the express purpose of derailing threads.

      • August 10, 2010 at 3:32 pm | #17

    I would have pulled the plug sooner, but then that explains why I am not an Admin. ;)

    That you folks have to explain your decision shows how hard to was to do, unlike another blogger that blinks and eradicates a dozen or more commenters and after the fact makes up excuses to say why he did it.

    • August 10, 2010 at 3:08 pm | #21

      I was having fun. This person was a bigot and the more it kept denying the Gold Age of Spain and calling Hispanics barbaric the more it made my point.

        Yeah, truly hadn’t practiced my Gazing and Mr. Holland’s Opus references in a long time. Debate is one thing – for instance, fultonchain debates a point of view cogently and without the ad hominem attacks. But in the case of Sarahlover, a reminder to the Infinite Money that this is our playground. We get to kick you out of the sandbox. Too bad. So sad. So start your own blog and talk about us. We don’t care. All your friends can come over and spout their incoherent nonsense noon and night. We won’t be interrupting your party.

        But yeah, enough was enough. I’ve no doubt that the Fraidy Cat the Screeching Hyena sent the Infinite Money over here to derail the threads and get everybody so incensed that they’d stop posting altogether

      • Arachne
        August 10, 2010 at 3:22 pm | #24

        I imagine the Infinite Money was sent here by the Screeching Hyena to siderail the site and get everyone so annoyed that they’d walk away in disgust.

        As far as I’m concerned, if they want to put up a sister site at the Swamp where they pick our threads and comments apart for their fun and amusement, go right ahead. No one here is going to to care. And we sure as hell wouldn’t come to your house and take a crap on your living room rug, like the Infinite Monkey did here.

        “Abd al-Mumin…the leader of the Almohads after the death of Muhammad Ibn Tumart the Mahdi …captured Tlemcen [in the Maghreb] and killed all those who were in it, including the Jews, except those who embraced Islam…[In Sijilmasa] One hundred and fifty persons were killed for clinging to their [Jewish] faith…All the cities in the Almoravid [dynastic rulers of North Africa and Spain prior to the Almohads] state were conquered by the Almohads. One hundred thousand persons were killed in Fez on that occasion, and 120,000 in Marrakesh. The Jews in all [Maghreb] localities [conquered]…groaned under the heavy yoke of the Almohads; many had been killed, many others converted; none were able to appear in public as Jews…Large areas between Seville and Tortosa [in Spain] had likewise fallen into Almohad hands.”

        First-hand account of genocidal Almohad futuhat by Solomon Cohen from January 1148 C.E…

        Really, the Spanish descendants of the Visigoths were worse than the Bedounized Berbers? Did SarahLover realize that there were Muslim inquisitions of Maliki jurists in Spain, that there was constant legal discrimination in the form of the dhimma against the Mozarabs, and that there were periodic massacres of Mozarabs and even muwalladun? Did SarahLover realize that the Aztecs committed genocide against neighboring Tribes before the arrival of the Spanish? That the Spanish were not merciful, and at times quite brutal, but they were far more merciful than the human-sacrificing Aztecs had been?

        But when a person says the same thing over and over too many times, even though the person is destroying his/her own credibility, it eventually becomes a waste of bandwidth.

    I have to say that I am sorry Sura-lover’s prior posts have vanished, because as far as I am concerned they were textbook examples of the jeering, closed-minded, fatuous, self-satisfied, ignorant, and abusive mindset which drove so many of us away from the Left, and from the lead sycophants at a blog which I shall not name.

      Probably get a new nic or try a different IP address and try it all over again. Because proggies don’t learn from their mistakes.

      You know, had it couched its argument in terms that invited real debate, I might have actually attempted to explain my reasoning for rejecting AGW. But it didn’t want a debate. It wanted to name call. I always loved how it claimed “victory” – I win.

      And it claimed to be a “Christin” [sic]. Nope. Sorry. Not any kind of “Christin” I know. Unless it’s maybe one of those wierd sects that worships at the Shrine of the Heavenly Asshole.

    I think the troll had a long enough run. I have no idea who it was if it is one of the newer lgf lizards. They must have been in the manic phase of their illness or on crystal meth last night. At one point the comments were being posted almost every 3 minutes. Not for nothing, the nesting comment system in the DOD is clumsy. So they had to find the comment, read it, type an attack and post it all under 3 minutes. Relentlessly. LOL.
    I think they enjoyed themselves so they will be back using another name.

        I can see both sides of the decision on that one, and if they want to put them back, no biggie to me. We’ll have more threads and eventually the threads with the troll will be long gone and down the page.

      August 10, 2010 at 4:09 pm | #50

      All that did was prove how much of a life the sad individual(s) did not have. It is one thing to do a drive by troll, but wow. That was just sad.

      It was kind of funny at first when I told it that I was specifically trolling it just to receive replies and that by replying to me they proved they were a moron. After about 8-10 times it finally figured out that they had been made a fool in the zeal to try to ‘school’ somebody.

      As a troll, a complete failure, because I owned it within the first 15 minutes of posting because they had no experience with full on hardcore trolling skills forged in the heart of USENET.

    Apologies. I was not aware of this, and I had posted a response to her on the Einstein thread.

    Apparently, my Evil Genius … Laser comment really stung.

      I agree with you. I think it was that deranged Iceweasel. And I think it’s a good thing not to waste time with that pos. In the real world there can be only so much conversation before you go to the next stage and you can’t go to the next stage on the internet.

        Agree. We are here to mock and laugh and talk, not debate hard science. They come in all serious and demand to know what we think about evolution and AGW and whether the earth is flat. Geez, they are the freaking inquisitors of the internet, demanding conversion or they will torture you. No beer summit for these guys. LOL They need to lighten up.

        “I lived on a farm and if the crops don’t get any water they die so I’m an expert in AGW.” Really? I live in Northern California and if the farmers in the San Joaquin Valley don’t get water because the government’s protecting a two-inch, non-indigenous smelt, their crops die too.

    Favorite sarahlover moment- when I challenged he/she/it to find exactly where I said something he/she/it claimed I said:

      Did you read where this person called Hispanics Barbaraic and uncivilized? Did you see this person deny theer was a Golden Age of Spain in the 1500′s? This person is a Hispanophobe, pure and simple.

        But as a “neutral” observer, who thinks lgf has taken a turn for the dump, I gotta say you did’nt come out looking too good. Way too aggressive, flinging terms of pooh at that passive aggressive sob.

        There’s plenty of things to draw attentoin to at lgf. Like I said, no need to make shit up.

      It’s an honor to be rejected by the stupid and depraved.

      Besides, this is where I go to amuse myself at your expense. This is not where I go to do my serious blogging.

      Check again dumbass. This blog is people driven – not lizard of oz driven like lgf.

      *pay no attention to the wussy behind the little green curtain*

        ROFL

        The lack of self-awareness really reaches pathological levels here. People driven? Well, yes, in a way. It’s driven by an obsession with people like Chuckles and his lizardoids, which are the sole reason for the blog’s existence.

        The wussy (really, “wussy”? who the fuck talks like that?) is not just behind the curtain for you losers. It’s in your heads, and it has been there for years.

        And now, by emulating the Jazzman despotic methods, you lost the only genuine difference that worked out in your favor. Deleting comments… ahahahahahah. You just can’t make this stuff up.

        There are no comments deleted dumbass. The people decided against it and “king minos” put them back.

        No you can’t make this shit up ~ who would have thought you’d be that stupid to keep saying something that just isn’t true.

        Wussy.

    These posts were the “human”-driven (using the term “human” in the broadest possible sense, to mean “non-automated”) equivalent of a denial of service (DOS) attack against the blog. In other words, the purpose was to clog the bandwidth with drivel to impede all other activities.

      The troll also stated publicly that their goal was to goad us into attacking so it would have ammunition for shutting this blog down.

        Yeah, that worked out well. I guess the troll never thought that maybe, just maybe if the WordPress Internet Patrol cruised through, flashed a light in the car window, read the troll’s posts, they’d simply say “yep, got what it deserved” and kept on cruising.

        No one keeps you here – your kids aren’t being held in an attic until you’ve posted snotty invective for 30 hours. If you don’t like the tenor of the conversation, you’re free to leave. We make no pretense of “high-brow” political analysis or in-depth commenting here. We’re here because we have a good time making fun of Twitboy with a Tip Jar and the rest of the loozard dunderbutts that hang on his every word, no matter how inane or ridiculous, and proceed to betray what intellect they have by falling over each other agreeing with him.

        Which, by the way, is EXACTLY the same thing he did to KKKos, HuffPo and DU when it was advantageous to him to be on the other side of the political wall.

    Admins:

    How about placing the entire closed Sarahlover thread in a separate, but accessible Garbage Bin section on the dod blog? We can add other garbage threads. That way we do not become Swat.
    It is history, but also history…
