dallas_speaks_again is it buggin you? let me know so i can tell Dallas On Nov 30, 2007 4:19 PM, Dallas wrote: That's weird... I guess it doesn't look like spam but I don't see the point of it. Is it attempting to link elsewhere in any way you can tell? Dallas l m to Dallas no but the person in question has repeatedly been... well repetitive about the nonsensical typing. ironic. http://blather.newdream.net/cgi-bin/blather?refs;word=clerbloinkula is a great example. what do you think? i am interested in your opinion. Dallas Kashuba to me show details 4:31 PM (2 minutes ago) Reply I think the only reasons someone would do something like that is either a) looking for attention or b) insane. So.... if it's 'a' the best response is to ignore it now and we can clean up some of the messy words later. If it's 'b' I don't know if there's much we can do. I can clean up some of the words now if they're bugging people, though. Dallas 071130 ... Doar I tend to take the opinion of if you see a nonsense title, either; a. ignore it (don't give in to temptation where you think it might be something interesting but later find out it's complete nonsense). b. view it but don't add to it (it only encourages the original blather). That's my view on it. I don't think we have to bug Dallas every time we find something offensive or distasteful. They created something unique (in my opinion) and still keep this wonderful gem for all of us to view and contribute to. Boy, this is another long blathe from me. Gotta go. Good luck and happy blathing. 071130 ... REAListic optimIST i've mostly been ignoring it. if it gets out of hand, of course it can be cleaned up when dallas has time. for now, no worries here! :) 071130 ... sameolme Ignoring what? 071130 ... ever dumbening just my opinion this certainly does not rise to the level of dallas involvement, not even close. 071130 ... u24 I think there's a fine line between spam removal and censorship that is in danger of being crossed. see also the kx21 discussions. (in which I switched rapidly from "ban his IP" to "free speech, even if you don't like the sound of that speech"). It it comes from a human, it probably belongs on blather. 071201 ... u24 *if it* d'oh. 071201 ... But- If it was only under nonsense titles, that would make more sense. 071201 ... OOPS I guess that didn't make very much sense. 071201 ... Jus so you know The original reason I sent Dallas the email was just for his opinion, not asking him to do anything about it. 071201 ... unhinged and a page like this certainly falls under the 'ignoring' category....i hope my heavy sarcasm is duly noted. in the past six months there has been a lot of arguing and pettiness on this topic. is_kx21_a_spambot ? would you like it if someone was erasing your words from blather because they didn't like what you had to say? get a blog if you don't want people ruining and/or replying and/or ranting at your words or anywhere near your words 071201 ... Ouroboros don't_feed_the_troll 071201 ... unhinged (and in my mind, this qualifies as feeding the troll even if it may be garbage and barely edible table scraps of the kind you wouldn't even give your dog) 071201 ... pete I just assumed the commonplace dude was writing in a latin-english mix. Commonplacing was a common-place tradition back in the day. Maybe he's transcribing something? 071201 ... Troll Feeder Why is it so hard for me to don't_feed_the_troll? I know, I know. Don't_feed_the_troll. I agree. Yet there I am, feeding it again, trying to argue it away. I'll try and stop. Sincere apologies, etc. My intentions were pure and not meant to pave hellish roads. Bad me. Bad me. 071201 ... unhinged (even kx21 stopped posting iraq news links....eventually) 071201 ... But I thought he got banned? 071202 ... u24 nope. 071202 ... Lemon_Soda Eh... Noone is holding a gun to my head and making me read ANY blathe, much less reply...I'll go with "free speach even if you don't like the sound' I've made blather my innermonologue dumping ground, so anyone else who does I shouldn't get upset at... 071207 ... . I'm with you on that LS; free speech must prevail. (Even though it is still quite frustrating to such sophomoric use of it.) 071207 what's it to you? who go blather from
