The abuse of blog ratings here @BooMan became obvious with marduk and nalbar.

After they trolled Arthur Gilroy, they came after me.

It’s just a foursome who set out on this obnoxious course of wrecking the blog community. Imposing their kind of morality on what is and is not acceptable to write. The old-style of the worst days @dKos.

Enters oncorhynchus with his harassment in the diaries of Arthur Gilroy. Harassment is defined as repeated bullying over time. When it becomes an obsession, or a compulsion, go see a psychiatrist. Repeating the same old tiresome accusations of lies where he expects AG to reply until he is satisfied. OAB never will be satisfied.

Don Durito made a valiant effort to stop this ugly behavior. His diary was up for quite a while – This blog has a ratings abuse problem. As the comments were posted in his diary, nalbar continues troll rating my posts elsewhere. Yes I called him out for that behavior.

More below the fold …
OAB and bazzz have now joined the vigilantes of BT.

Any comment I make in a front page article by Martin Longman, I get troll rated.

A new star bazzz said he wanted to engage in a conversation. I wrote two special diaries to engage. Bazzz too will never be satisfied in my replies. So bazzz, you have now joined the heavenly realms of troll rating me! What a big boy you are now.

Request to Martin. Please take down your stated ethics for writing on this blog … no one adheres to the rules of not being a prick. All debate of opposing views will be stifled.

This post of mine to Martin’s frontpage article was the most recent that got troll rated by nalbar … nice!

I won’t ask for an explanation, I am satisfied to witness this erratic behavior.

I won’t be silenced here @BooMan …. I have been part of this special blog community since its founding . Have written thousands of diaries throughout the 13 plus years. I still have plenty to analyse and write about, on a daily basis. You can find me on the right edge of this blog. My views are left progressive. Recently  I have been accused of being an anti-Semite and in turn a Trump supporter. Both allegations are far from the truth. There are more than just one idiot in the White House. Right or left, so it goes.

Leftist Obrador Wins Mexican Election by a Landslide

An inspiring first speech by Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador addressing his supporters from his campaign headquarters in Mexico City:

Mexico electionresults: López Obrador vows profound change after win | BBC News |
Leftist is victor in Mexican vote | The Globe & Mail |

My comment was NOT off-topic as Martin had a link to the Mexican election result in his article. Even then, it should NOT have been troll rated.

STOP!

zelf-kennis

One of the rules would be no bringing shit from other blogs over here.

You kids want to fight about BT shit, go do it there.

[Update-2]

A prime example of a hateful comment added with a historic resentment. Going full nationalistic … living in a red state full of ignorance? WTF .. no I have no intent to “go away”!

If it weren’t for the Dutch and French in 1776, most likely your 13 states would not have “won” independence and stayed under British rule of King George III. I’m not sure if that would have prevented white puritans from the genocidal murdering of America’s indigenous people, the Indian tribes.

Just a few threads away, a smarter post …

Our country is the jackass now (4.00 / 2)

Nice country you had there, too bad you effed it all up.

The progression from Reagan to Quayle to Bush II to Palin to Trump completely confirms that white Republicans don’t prize intellect in any way, shape, or form. Their 1000% commitment to willful ignorance (and proud of it) was bound to reach Trump’s level of juvenality. And there’s no reason to ensure it will stop at that level.

We’ve ( the country collectively) let this happen. We overestimated our capabilities (collectively). We’ve underestimated the level of irrational evil in our fellow citizens and especially in the Republican cult and leadership.

Consequently, we’ve made ourselves an unreliable ally whose judgment (collectively) and commitment to alliances and international norms can’t be trusted.

Torture, waterboarding, rendition/detention/black sites, unregulated crashing financial markets, unwarranted destabilizing invasions, turning our backs on treaties – all of those things happened under Bush II who was also an ignorant buffoon.

Trump is an even more ignorant buffoon and he brings trade wars more racist immigration policies, more treaties/agreements being abrogated and serial sexual assaulting into the mix to turn up the stupid and evil to eleven.

Unless a longer term plan starts shaping up to fix the structural problems in our governing framework this trend will be both recurring and intensifying.

Could have been my own words …. jeez, they are exactly what I have diaried about here @BooMan. Living in a parallel universe?
