These days, I almost (stress on “almost”) feel sorry for MikeB302000.
Joe Huffman helped him walk right into the wall of admitting he cannot tell fact from fiction.
Say Uncle and Caleb have both dismissed him as not even being worth the time to ridicule.
Weer’d Beard has abandoned reading his weblog or even linking to him.
Breda will no longer tolerate his nonsense.
Patrick helped him admit that he adamantly and vehemently supports destroying basic human rights.
Bob S. got to play host while he lied through his teeth… repeatedly.
Don Guinn systematically demonstrated that he has almost no understanding of the English language.
And, last but not least, I helped demonstrate just how lacking his grasp on mathematics, much less anything else, is.
Unfortunately for him, though, that is not the end of the story. Yesterday, Xavier absolutely schooled MikeB302000 on the purpose of firearms and training with them:
A gun does not protect you Mike. The ability to use the gun swiftly, effectively and decisively are what protect you when you are down to your last option. You will note, however, if you took the time to read before you decided to type out your screed, that I advocate first recognition, then avoidance and evasion of threats. To remain safe, the threat must first be recognized.
[...]
Now you can peck away all the you like about it, but that will not change. Am I paranoid? Are you talking clinically paranoid? Paranoia is a term that delusional people use in a derogatory fashion to describe those better prepared than themselves. It makes them feel more secure as they smugly cite statistics and anecdotes. All the while, people continue to die in violent encounters, while others manage to survive. I encourage you to investigate why some victims survive while others do not.
[...]
These encounters happen with breathtaking speed. Training is essential, but more importantly, recognizing and understanding the threat is imperative. It is this aspect of self defense that so many people ignore, and if you had taken the time to read a bit deeper, perhaps you would have found it.
Read the whole thing – those are only a few of the high points.
And before you ask, yes, Xavier does have a little experience regading the topics in question.
One day, Sparky might get tired of repeatedly having his nether regions served to him on a silver platter… but I am not counting on that day coming very soon. Just as well – posts like Xavier’s are invaluable to the pro-rights community, and not just for handing anti-rights advocates well-deserved verbal beatings.
(Thanks to Bob S. for pointing out Xavier’s post.)
I feel about as sorry for MikeB as I did for the mouse who stumbled into my trap the other night. Both were in the wrong, and got what they had coming.
Its like feeling bad for the waters as they crash over the falls!
I feel sorry for Sparky the same way I feel sorry for any organism that is incapable of learning or bettering itself. Birds bash themselves to pieces against windows, and the sorrow I feel for them is about the same as I feel for him.
Predictable. Seemingly unavoidable. But still sad that something/one is turning out to be such a waste.
Linoge, You are a regular riot. How many times have you said you’re done with me only to spend the time and effort to write another lengthy personal attack with links?
One of the biggest ironies is that you and your friends often accuse the gun control folks and me in particular of moderating and deleting comments when you yourselves actually do that. Most of the ones you mentioned above have banned me, but I know, that’s my fault right, and there’s no hypocrisy in it either?
Keep spinning it, man.
Alright, Sparky, I will bite – how many times? Please, tell me. Becuase I know I have said I am done reading your pathetic excuse for a weblog, I know I have said I am done commenting there, and I know I have said you are hardly worth the effort of engaging any more (precisely due to idiotic comments such as this one), but I also know that I have never said that I am done reading about other people handing you your ass on a silver platter, and commenting on their posts if I feel like it.
Why do you lie so much?
How was any of what I wrote a “personal attack”? Do you disagree with any of the text in those links, and the content at those links’ webpages? Then prove it wrong, and do not pull your standard, pathetic “oh woe is me” bulldren. After all, you incessantly crow that all you want to do is discuss the issues – well, here is yet another chance for you to do so – how were those people wrong?
Unfortunately, this was yet another chance for you to fail, and prove the lie of your words. And fail you did.
But, wait, you cannot prove it wrong, because each and every one of those posts has your own words backing up their conclusions. Hell, in some of those posts (see “fact from fiction” and “basic math”), you provide the conclusion, and we simply point it out for the world to see.
How are your own words a “personal attack” against you? Are you schizophrenic? Or, as Don Guinn highlighted, do you simply not understand the English language? Or are you simply continuing to lie, as you invariably do?
Somehow, just somehow, it does not surprise me that you do not grasp the concept, much less what the words ‘irony’ and ‘hypocrisy’ mean.
I know just about each and every one of those people you accuse of banning you / moderating your comments has explained this to you (and the world) when they finally said that they will no longer be accepting comments from you, but I will go ahead and indulge your idiocy one last time. You moderate comments because you have grown tired of people pointing out your incessant lies, actual hypocrisy, logical fallacies, argumentative shortcomings, falsehoods, fabrications, bias, inherent bigotry, rank ignorance, inability to determine fact from fiction or perform basic mathematical functions, and blatant anti-rights stance. All those people above who do moderate your comments do so because they have grown tired of your incessant lies, actual hypocrisy, logical fallacies, argumentative shortcomings, falsehoods, fabrications, bias, inherent bigotry, rank ignorance, inability to determine fact from fiction or perform basic mathematical functions, and blatant anti-rights stance.
If you cannot comprehend the differences between those two positions, I am afraid I cannot help you… and I have little interest in doing so.
But do not worry, Sparky, your comments are always welcome here – I am more than willing to allow any person to put the above qualities on display any time they like!
Too bad the little coward doesn’t have the balls to, you know, respond to any of the above silver-platter-ass-handings.
Like the blog post, or you last well-worded response.
Weer’d, The fact is I do respond to those issues every day on my blog. When I try to introduce my ideas on some of your blogs, as Linoge pointed out, I either get banned or deleted or asked not to come back. Some of you guys don’t want dissent, as much as you profess to love freedom. That’s you, Weer’d and Xavier and Patrick and Breda, among others. Yet I’m the coward, right?
Linoge and Kevin and some others are not among you in this deleting and blocking and banning reaction, but the vitriolic and lengthy arguments they give me are too much for me to handle. I don’t think that necessarily makes them right and me wrong, it just makes them stronger and more passionate and incredibly persistent. And for the most part, they’re all great writers, Joe Huffman too.
Linoge welcomes your comments. Give us some examples of when you have actually engaged in a debate on your blog, or others. http://www.snowflakesinhell.com/2010/03/26/the-great-0-0000013/
Guav pointed out with links to your own blog exactly how you very consistantly don’t do that.
I only banned you when you consistently refused to support or argue your claims on my blog (FYI, I have not deleted any of your comments made before I banned you, feel free to dig in my archives and pull up ANY post where you support or debate an issue.
http://weerdbeard.livejournal.com/calendar
You won’t because you can’t because you are a liar and a troll. Its a very smart move to ban you and delete your comments.
“Dear Weer’d, Fuck you and the ban you rode in on.” -MikeB302000
And, hey, look! There he goes not debating the issues all over again. So much for that claim… as if there was any truth to it to begin with.
There you go again, lying through your teeth. Where have you ever responded to your inability to perform basic mathematical operations? Where have you ever explained how you procured your illegally-owned firearms, what you did with them before you moved out of the States, and what laws would have prevented you from doing those things (after all, you want to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals, and that information could prove to be invaluable, being first-hand and all)? Where have you ever responded concerning your ignorance of the Scientific Method and how it works? Have you ever even Joe’s simple question to you?
As I said, yet another blatant, bald-faced lie. I guess I should not be surprised.
Sparky, you do not have “ideas”. You have specious innuendo, fallacious claims, ignorance of statistics/facts/reality, insulting questions, baseless assumptions, and unending avoidance of the issues.
And still more misdirection. In case you have not noticed, all of those weblogs are rife with “dissent”, every single day. Those “guys”, as both they and I have explained, simply do not want your incessant lies, actual hypocrisy, logical fallacies, argumentative shortcomings, falsehoods, fabrications, bias, inherent bigotry, rank ignorance, inability to determine fact from fiction or perform basic mathematical functions, and blatant anti-rights stance. Is that really so hard to comprehend?
In the end, not allowing your comments on a pro-firearm-related-rights weblog are about the same as not allowing the comments of a KKK member on an anti-racism weblog – something of a no-brainer.
IF (mikeb302000 answered any questions posed in above links and comments = TRUE)
THEN printf(“No.”);
ELSE printf(“Yes, you halfwitted moron!”);
END
Seriously? TL;DR is your excuse for not addressing the issues we bring up? Then you obviously do not care that much about those issues, and concede the argument to us. I can live with that.
No, Sparky, the facts make us right, and the facts make you wrong. Until you learn that, there is little else to discuss.
Hm. “Welcomes” is a bit of a strong word.
I almost cannot believe that the little twerp actually had the nerve to put that in an email… given how many comments he has deleted, the unmitigated gall to say that kind of bulldren is quite impressive…
Heh, and while he has vehement complaints about what is said, he still chooses to concede the argument.
So much self-loathing going on there, but not one ounce of common sense to, you know, change.
Some of you guys don’t want dissent…
Says the guy who routinely deletes comments that expose him as a blatant hypocrite & lying fraud.
How many times have you deleted comments from me asking about your illegal procurement of firearms? How many times have you deleted comments from me asking why you should not be legally responsible for child porn?
You are an intellectual coward who lacks the capacity to respond to dissent, so you run away, delete comments and play the victim. You do not address issues. You attack others, you obfuscate and you lie.
Nearly every week, we have given him a chance to “debate the issues” – something he claims he is so very interested in doing. And every single time, he has ignored the issues, and instead he has gone for the personal attacks against us (mostly by the passive aggressive “why is everyone picking on me!?” methods, but still).
Go figure. I guess it just proves the “liar” bit…
Really, can you blame the guy? On an open debate field, without the benefit of hiding behind comment moderation and “oh woe is me” bleeding-heart martyr tactics, the guy would just get shredded.
Like I said, I almost feel sorry for him.
