One of the greatest things about this blog just happened again today – the troll commenter who randomly finds me via Google, then writes something idiotic, usually with bad Youtube’ish grammar. Now you may be confused – usually these comments make authors feel lousy, and question why they should be trying to help people who just come back with insults. Not me. I love every minute of it.

Why?

Because I’ve found the best thing to do to flame comments – use my Admin powers to edit them to be of the polar opposite opinion. I’m a “dumbass American?” Now I’m a “totally awesome guy”. Apologies, praise, and all sorts of positive feedback on my blog entries show up when the trolls come out. The best part is, the original commenter becomes absolutely fucking furious and posts way more negative comments, which I promptly edit again to say even nicer things about me. There’s no way I can lose here, it’s great!

Now, for those of you thinking that I’m an anti-free-speech asshole, I always am willing to leave comments up that disagree with me – I’ll never change that. Blogs without dissenting comments lose their value, as a means of generating discussion on a topic. If you’re intent on leaving nonsense on my blog however, I will almost certainly be enjoying myself that day….
