Surly's Soap Box

Ya know, David, if ya wanted to engage in legitimate dialog and enjoy the spirit and fun of discourse that is prevalent in blogging, we could have fun taking jabs at each other and all that. We don't even have to agree on anything. But the fact that you are harping on one issue (taken out of context none the less) and pretty much choosing to ignore everything else that's going on here (especially recent events and the changing tone of this blog) shows that you are just being a jerk.

Emailing the contents of a post to someone to share it is one thing, but to do it to intentional cause trouble? Well, you have earned "Troll" designation. This is why I am banning your I.P. When you want to play nice, email me and I'll lift the ban. But for now, you bore me. I see people like you all the time: Basking in the glow of your computer feeling all smug, self-righteous, and oh so much smarter than everyone else. Yup, you sure pulled one over on Surly!

As far as my anonymous blogging, it's because my wife asked me to do it that way. Her job occasionally puts her out there in the public and she doesn't need to be getting any flack, particularly from somebody like you who would email a post to her or her boss just for fun.

Hey Garrison! If you stop by, I want you to know that I think you're a loon. I admire your showmanship, enjoy your radio program, but can't stand your politics. And yes, I did write a post about beating you with a golf club while both picking apart one of your asinine political commentaries and mocking a pacifist friend of mine! But surely you understand satire.
