or; a sucker headline to get you suckers to read it.
There has been an increase in activity, lately, by one of the supposed “religious” denizens of this fine site. (In fact, there's been a LOT of increased activity from the Religion forums in general, and a lot of mean stuff has gone down . . . oh well. That's the point of religion, isn't it? To divide and conquer? )
But this specific blogger has been especially liberal with his deletion of comments, and not just from myself. He has deleted, without provocation, and only because he didn't agree with, at least a dozen comments that have been posted to his articles. (Now, I understand that's his prerogative for his blog site – but it doesn't change the fact that it's a really priggish thing to do.)
I know he's deleted at least seven of mine, three of which were actually pertinent to his article's topic; he just didn't agree with me. And without giving me a reason why, my comments had just dissapeared. (Yeah, the other four he's deleted have been me being antagonistic, but hey – it's what I do best.)
I can think of one time that I've deleted a comment from one person, and it was only after saying to that individual, “Anything else out of you gets deleted”. So I at least told them a reason and that I was doing so.
This blogger, however, even supposedly wrote an article on which those of us who think he's a dick could post. (It promptly disappeared into the ether of the internet.)
So, in the same vein as this pretentious bible thumper, I'm-a gonna “say a prayer” for this person:
“Kali, oh hot mamma god with oh so many arms and oh so many dead childrens, please bless our friend, “Dumb Blogger Who Shall Remain Nameless”, to be less of a dick. Let him actually accept that, perhaps, his own narrow, marginalizing life view may not be the only one out there, and bitch-slap him around for a bit until he decides to stop deleting higgledy-piggledy without any provocation.
“Thanks, babe. Love, Braeden.”
PS Due to feeling slightly hypocritical, I vow, henceforth, to remove every name from my blacklist and never delete a comment again. If it's worthy of deletion, I'll just belittle it to high heavens.
