Maybe mods think this topic is kookery.
***Well, one of the mods removed “searchin” as a troll for keyword abuse on the CoLB threads. Maybe there’s disagreement about whether this topic is kookery in the stratospheric rarefied atmosphere of modland. If they’re so busy, they wouldn’t have had time to say they WON’T remove the keywords.
KNOCK IT OFF!!!
You said — “BTW, isn’t it accepted practice to ping the person you’re talking about?”
Maybe so, but certain ones don’t acknowledge the courtesy, it seems. I guess it’s like talking in a corner in low whispers...
In any case, there are certain ones who “get crazy” because someone doesn’t have the same idea as them — and then posts an idea that is different from them. Now, *that* is the real crime... doncha know...
Whatever you do, don’t have an idea of your own... :-)
You said — “In particular I accuse Star Traveler to be an Issue Specific troll, in this case the issue is CoLB. The Orly Taitz interview thread would likely suffice to show her to be such a troll:

Okay, let’s look at that one — just the “numbers” for sake of comparison. It has a total of 1,142 posts (at this point in time). I posted *after* post #750. And I see a total of 34 posts from me.
Now, the interesting thing is that you have a total of 100 posts, and you start posting right at the very beginning, within hours of it being posted. And of those 100 posts, 21 of them you made to me or about me.
Now, it seems that you’re “obsessive” about posting to me (and *about me*, as in here, too...) — doesn’t it?

You need to relax and take it easy... perhaps go on vacation. That does wonders, doncha know... Being stressed can cause you to “think” that things are happening that aren’t...
That’s also why a bit of LOL.. and a bit of :-) is good for the soul...

[Oh..., and by the way, I’m not pinging the Admin Moderator on this either... so I’m not mad at you or anything... ]
You, too!
Talk about a really good topic getting really frakked up...
sheesh.
As I remember it (this goes back about 5 years) he claimed that a document that was supposed to have been produced in the 60s could be reproduced (line brakes and spacing) with MS word using the default settings - I couldn't get his results. Further, he claimed that typewriters back in the day didn't do proportional spacing, or have certain characters or type faces available. I knew that wasn't true because I had used such a typewriter way back when.
In addition, he was basing his analysis on, again a digitized image of a very poor quality document due to photo copying and faxing.
More than 20 years experience producing a wide variety of material for various forms of publication.
Someone once said (sorry I don't remember who) if two people agree on everything, one of them is extraneous.
Raise up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it
... G-d
Master of deceit. But, only fools can be deceived.
Be as clever as serpents and as gentle as doves.
If that's true, why don't you know how to spell "line breaks" properly? It is one of the familiar commands in MS Word.
Okay, let’s look at that one
***Sorry, can’t. Orders from above.
I don't do spelling, nor do I answer spelling questions. ;-)
You asked — “If that’s true, why don’t you know how to spell “line breaks” properly? It is one of the familiar commands in MS Word.”
As I well know from typing fast and then reviewing what I did type, many times I find that I’ve typed words as different words than intended. It’s sorta funny, actually, how the mind works, in conjunction with the fingers. So, I’ve come to *know* that my fingers have a sort of “memory” at times, and at other times, they just don’t do the right thing, and then they mispell, when I personally know how to spell.
I wouldn’t attribute anything seriously wrong with the post, in the way of spellling, when I’ve seen that my own fingers don’t obey the mind very well... LOL...
[... if we had 15-minute window to correct a post, that would be great... I don’t know how many times I’ve seen something *exactly* when I’ve pushed “post”...]

I’m going to have to start putting a disclaimer in here that any spelling problems are the fault of my fingers and not of my brain. They sometimes don’t agree with one another... :-)
Often the mind covers up for the fingers, pretending not to see what the fingers have wrought.
The truth is I am just a hopelessly bad speller.
I agree. I have never seen so many trolls trying to deminish the issue. That tells me more about their fear of it than anything they can say. They know Obama should just have Hawaii mail Chrissy Mathews a long form Birth Certificate, but he apparently can't. I have taken to calling these trolls, AINO (American's In Name Only). They don't care about the America that our Constitution established.
Thank you!
BUMP!
