2016-07-31

I have deleted posts made by someone from 71.123.157.140 who is posting under several nyms, each pretending to debate the others in the 'Home Front: Politix' section of comments.

Be gone, troll/moby, we're on to you. You're banned.

AoS (moderator)

I have been busily blocking a troll, who is brilliant in the black arts of hacking. If my fat f*cking fingers have blocked you without good reason, please contact me at grurkka@gmail.com, or use a proxy and post here or in the O-club.

This election season, only four days old, is apparently gonna be one helluva ride, so I do hope our regulars and guest will bear with us as we try to keep discourse civil and well reasoned.

#13 Just a reminder, not all of us who use TOR are trolls. Blocking this troll would block some of us too. There are legitimate security reasons for it.

Legitimate security reasons if you are connecting to a Tor server? But you're not, are you? You are using a proxy through http, and not TOR. This website doesn't service TOR requests, it doesn't even make TOR requests.

You can twist and turn technical terms until you are a Belgian pretzel, but the fact remains, you are using http to troll a website and a web community which has done nothing to you.

#12 ** Zapped **

And when you log on again, let me axe you a question.

Didn't you just say that I am banning proxies and denying others the opportunity to read what is here?

Here is my question: Why were you posted from a website hosting network and not a common proxying network, if that is true?

I blocked a netblock of web servers that generally do not make requests, but services them.

How is that blocking anyone but those who can log on to those servers from remote?

Do you really think that using a customer's website as your personal proxy network would set well with them should they find out?

And don't deny it, we have the logs.

Perhaps now you would like to modify your personal behavior and listen and learn a little something about the website and people you are trolling.

#8 Oh. Sorry. A real troll. His comments on actual threads were already mopped up by the time I came along. I was hoping they at least were at least all pointed in the same general direction, even if he was being a butt.

#7 Did he call you a slughead?

#4 Arguing respectfully won't get you paid... Which of the mutually incompatible positions the troll was stating was what you think he actually believed Gorb?

#3 Seems in the long run it would be better to pick a nym and argue respectfully. We both may learn something. Warning: sarcasm tags are optional here.

#2 We have a saying in Oklahoma. Offense wins games, but defense wins championships.

I just played some defense.

By now you are discovering that at least five of the networks you use are banned, but please, by all means, log in using others. We really need to update our ban lists.
