Added some trollish avatars for good measure then to make obvious crossing that bridge... clip-clop, clip-clop...

In reply to Ah, but you can - just point

Once upon a Saturday I would have taken you up on removing Peter's comment, but unfortunately there has been too much action under the troll bridge to consider it now. Thanks, anyway, for the offer.

Just because you've had a couple of long private message conversations with a couple of major trolls doesn't mean you know them all. That's insufficient data for me to trust your word. It should be insufficient data for you. No one needs to get me to reveal. I hide nothing meaningful about myself. I've said much of this in shorter form on the "please don't hate" blogs that Flavius wrote. I wasn't riled up when I wrote on his blogs and I'm not riled up now. I'm actually glad to get an opening to say it since it's something I've been thinking about for years and especially when reading about gamergate harassment campaign and the misogyny in the gaming community.

Excepting that I burn with a cold white anger almost all the time.

Well that's fine. Did you see

Well that's fine. Did you see me say anything against what you said at the time? I really don't see it as being that disruptive here.I find what he does and how you react interesting. Part of this whole social thing is learning about the society. I know it angers you that he plays here, it just doesn't anger me at all, it's more like practice for dealing with similar people in real life. He's a curiosity.

New York City, on the other hand, is getting nastier by the day, let me tell you, need all the practice I can get. Nasty, angry, miserable, depressed and depressing, that about sums it up.

In reply to AA is not in a bubble. Get

oh I bounce around different bubbles, momi goes from the Bronx bubble and the Mt Vernon bubble where I often shop, to the Chelsea bubble. Ft. Lauderdale K-Mart parking lot and main P.O. to Art Basel Miami, back and forth, same day, over and over. White Milwaukee gays trying (not too successfully) to gentrify the 'hood to Wypipo land of parental units near West Allis, back and forth. Been doing it since I was 17, as my first job as a waitress in after hours restaurant with lots of mob clientele, and other denizens of the wee hours, where I also started a long lasting relationship with "The Doctor of The Streets" who had this Jewish friend drug dealer who lived right in the middle of it on 3rd and Walnut. The locals would not touch The Doctor's caddy while we would park there because he had it decked out with pimp white sidewalls.

But you know this drill far far better than I, I suspect.

Enough of that, I've got to write that recommendation for my 70 yr. old African American artist friend to go to Yaddo. He's definitely not a homey, taught at Yale, a friend once described him as "elegant and erudite." Talk about living in a bubble, he did that his entire life so far.

I'll admit I do think I can

In reply to You, barefoot, others think

I'll admit I do think I can tell the difference and I do disagree with you. It's not based on nothing, it's because I've had long private message conversations with a couple of pretty major trolls as a moderator before I started at TPM Cafe. And they wrote worse hateful stuff then this guy. They weren't site specific, they were two guys known allover the blogosphere. Because I was known as a moderate and would argue with the far lefties, they sort of let go with me and would talk to me about why they did the stuff they'd do. I am 99% sure that he got pleasure from seeing you get all riled up, I can see him cackling and rubbing his hands and going "oh goody I got a libtard/precious snowflake to reveal." They especially like to do it to real passionate outraged liberals, they want to see such types get outraged, doesn't just confirm their prejudices, gives them a thrill. We are mostly boring to him here precisely because we don't get mad.

In reply to Those aren't trolls.

You, barefooted, others, think you can tell the difference. I don't think you can. And when you guess I think you'll be wrong most of the time you say, "They're just trolls."
