What the What?

Anybody have any idea what this guy in the Hot Air comments is talking about?

What is it with crazy people and the internet? There are those tests that make you write some numbers or characters before posting to prove you’re a person; we need ones to prove you’re not crazy. Like you could put up a picture of a baby and ask, “What do you do with this?” If you answer “Cradle” you get to post, but if you answer “Eat” you’re redirected to a place that supplies your meds.

UPDATE:

He also tore Jim Treacher a new one… though I couldn’t quite follow what in the world he was talking about. He uses periods in a very unique way, though.

BTW, I really appreciate how all you IMAO commenters aren’t quite as loony as the commenters at lots of other sites. It means a lot to me.

  1. Frank, the tip-off was this line in one of his posts: “That’s if you let me “comment” ever again at IAMO. Free country, free speech and all right Frank.”

    Anytime an idiot starts whining about “free speech” they prove their ignorance regarding the Constitution. And, if they have no basic understanding of the Constitution, how can they possibly debate anything regarding American politics?

    For the record, within the Constitution – the document that grants the government its few legal powers (not a document granting us our rights, as our rights are already God-given and, as the document states, we are born with those rights and don’t need a document or government to grant them to us) – government is prohibited from bringing down its wrath on you for speech it disagrees with. However, if a private citizen wants to censor your speech there is no law preventing him or her from doing so. For example: if you work representing a private company and decide to say stupid things that embarrass that company, they can choose to fire you. That is not an invasion of your “free speech”. If you go to a privately-owned media source and your comments are edited or removed, that is also not an invasion of your “free speech”. Only in the case of congress making a law “abridging the freedom of speech” have your rights to “free speech” been infringed upon.

    Of course, if Frank J removed comments he didn’t like it would still suck…I’m just sayin’

  2. Hot Air has so many caveats on who & how & what you can post on his site…it’s like reading a bloviated legal proceeding. It’s just too much work to try and get through the threads on Hot Air.

    I have banned myself from Hot Air! Don’t push me…I’m crazy!

  3. It was humorous because he seemed serious. That’s why I like your work Frank. Most political people (Right AND Left) are too uptight. Nutty really. It’s so holier than thou.

    I think they take offense to the fact your blatant satire isn’t far off from their serious views, and it reminds them just how freaking nuts they are.

    Or they escaped from Arkham. One of the deuce.

  4. I think he’s mad that A) no one likes him and B), well, there really is no B.

    But if there were, I think maybe the tipping point was when you attacked Sarah Palin by saying that she resigned from office. Since she only announced her intention to resign from office in a few days, that was clearly a direct, misogynist, personal attack on her worth as a human being.

  5. The man (assuming it’s a he) is obviously wrapped up in a plush blanket of self-pitying, crazy persecution complex. Frank would never censor this site. For example, I posted one time about how {redacted} and stuff. Or that time I blasted him & SarahK for {redacted} with pogo sticks. Or even that one time where I even felt I crossed a line and told about {redacted} after shaving the dog and {redacted}.

    Dued really needs to take his meds before I {redacted}.

  6. I’ll admit, Ernie Loco, that I wish I had been here for Limey. The best troll we’ve had since I’ve been here was one nut (“Joe” and then some numbers – what a dumb name) who constantly defended Huckabee/accused everyone here of being racists planning on killing all the Mexicans.

  7. I too am self banned from Hot Air! I became tired of the tedious and inane anti-God screeds! Atheism is too simple for me and Christians are unwelcome on this site… I’d rather spend my time having fun than dialogging with stuck on stoopid…

  8. OMG, the latest reply (12:45) is the best. He takes the comment posted by -Ed[itor] and replies as if he is talking to some guy named Ed. That is some full-blown, squirrel-feeding, monkey-petting crazy right there.

    Sorry Frank I mixed up the dates.

    I’m not crazy. I found my error.

    I will apoligze for mixing up the dates of IMAO RANDOM THOUGHTS of July 8 8:36 AM and July 9 8:36 AM.

    All of those people wishing me ill will here and at IMAO can just relax and take a breath. I am man enough to admit when I am wrong. I want to be clear that what set me off was your opinion of Sarah Palin after her resignation. I don’t agree with those who think her political career is over. I decided to give IMAO some of his own medicine by the following:
    .
    Who are you kidding, random thoughts? That is mostly what I see at this site. Being called a satirist clearly suits you Frank. A satirist is the adult version of a smart ass kid who is now getting paid to make fun of people, places or things. Congratulations Frank you haven’t changed a bit except for the money part. Keep on delivering those zingers. Somebody will surely pay for them literally if not figuratively.
    .
    From that remark to Frank J. I was responded to by Frank’s loyal commenters. Then I responded to those commenters in kind.
    .
    So here is where we are at now. Me apologizing to you Frank.
    .
    Ed, I note to you a remark on top referencing a statement that referred to “imploded on the weight of the crazy.” If I am taken to be crazy by you, then perhaps I should accept that or maybe it is the fact that I am a little more concerned about Sarah Palin’s future than you are. I’ll take your quip under advisement. I am a rational man Ed and hopefully you will change your mind someday and agree with my reasoning for supporting conservatism.

  10. Okay I just want to go on record that I shunned #16 and every other post Markomancuso, and now he has let slip the ploy of us wanting to kill all of the mexicans. That said, is this fruitball nodash? have nothing better to do than to rant like a ron paul supporter about Sarah “TEH Goddess” Palin?

    Maybe we can dress him up like a baby deer and introduce him to Mrs. Richardson.

  11. Grats on seven years!
    On a related note, have you ever noticed that people worth having a conversation with never object to being called crazy? You get into a heated discussion and say, “You’re crazy.” and cool people always pause for a sec and then say, “Point taken…” and go back to the conversation. It’s only creeps that it seems to bother. I’m thinking that will be my new test for chit chat.

  12. Ever get worried that the stupid commenter you’re making fun of is really mentally ill?

    Thanks Frank — I made a mistake, apoligized for it and still the insults and condescending comments continues. You must be very proud of youself and your associates. Who really are the crazy ones here?

  13. Hmmmm. . . I think it is a crazy liberal pretending to be conservative.

    Take this, for example: “It is truth to power thing Frank.”

    Only liberals say stupid stuff like “Truth-to-power, dude.” They think it makes them sound smart.

    I rest my case, your honor.

    Frank was talking about me. You think it’s always about you, don’t you? You’re so vain, you probably think this comment is about you. It’s not. It’s actually about MarkoMancuso.

  15. For the record, I would just like to state that I am not, nor have I ever been dash of America or whatever it calls itself. Plentyobailouts, your attack on my good name was totally unreasonable.

    When I pretend to be a troll, I usually fail as I cannot quite capture the essence of a troll. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a troll like this thing. It posts a screed that leaves me shaking my head and wondering what its point was. It’s just a bunch of noises, signifying nothing. I don’t…I just don’t understand it.

    Compliment?

  16. Frank-

    I too am mad at you.

    period

    The fact that you said something about Sarah is even worse than your scheme to use dinosaurs as shock troops in your bid for global domination.

    period

    And I have rights.

    period

    Wait… nevermind, the Clozapine kicked in. I suddenly can’t remember why I thought it was a good idea to vote for Obama.

    period

    Meh….

  17. In all fairness, the guy did admit that he misread the time stamps and apologize. Come on people, how often do people admit they are wrong in internet discussions? Perhaps people could afford to be a tad more charitable? Let he who is without any comments he later regretted cast the first stone.

  18. There are two kinds of commenters. Those who make royal screw ups at least now and then and the ones we refer to as women. Fessing up and apologizing just keeps a man from being a total boob.
