#1 Would it be rubbing salt in 700 year old wounds to point out that both Cut & Paste and the CAPSLOCK key are Western infidel inventions.

#4 Poof! It has been yet again evaporated. How sad for him that he is loosing to a little Midwestern housewife known for her complete lack of computer skillz.

both Cut & Paste and the CAPSLOCK key are Western infidel inventions.

Not to mention electricity, the Internet, computers, English, email addresses (in what strikes me as an unwise move, Mr. wamiq sheikh gave his as CANADIANPEACE_DREAM_OF_A_MOMAN@YAHOO.CA, and his organization as CANADIAN MOJAHIDEEN-E-PAKISTAN. When he gets back from his holiday, Fred can add that to our watch list. If our Canadian members would be good enough to look up CMeP, I would be grateful.)

#5 Guess there are words in there.

I'll tell ya, what we do to those out here who cheat at cards, especially UNO.

#6 "wamiq sheikh" is the arabic name for the teeny-tiny brand of condoms. Something that covers a thimble of manhood

#7 I think that was a communique from the CBC.

#10 Holy Cow! What kind of mild altering substances is this fellow on? I have seen more intelligent comments from a radio teletype hitting letters randomly in an electrical storm.

#11 You people are too easily trolled. Responses are what they crave.

#12 tw, could you and the mods do people like me, who don't get to look at Rantburg until after work, a favor? Could you blank out the comment when moving it to the sink trap, rather than removing it? It gets confusing when I get home from work and see people having a conversation about something that doesn't even show up.

It gets confusing after a hard day's work when someone says 'cleanup on aisle 2', and comment #2 is some innocent comment, or something that refers to what was in comment #2.

#13 Rambler, I understand that it makes understanding the thrust of the thread difficult, but the Idiot hit us with about twenty-something of the exact same thing long comment over the course of two hours or so. I left one example for those who wanted to see what it was all about, but I was on deck all by myself battling the bogie (did I get that right?) until badanov got home from work and blocked the IP.

gromky, I have not had a good day. Propose a doable solution within my nonexistent abilities or, please, shut up. You are making me cry.

#14 Ahh.... a moderator's work is never done. (but much appreciated TW!).

Guy looks like a very, very, poor immitation of Joe. And, unlike Joe, doesn't make a lick of sense.

#15 We appreciate your efforts, tw. I know from experience how annoying dealing with these infestations can be.

Yeah, deleting stuff can make the thread confusing, but that's life, eh?

Engaging trolls in extended debate is silly and pointless. But it is fun to chew on them a bit. And to reflect on the contributions the Islamic world has made to our modern era - which is basically squat. OK, I'll give them fatwas and piles of corpses. And shawarmas.

Thanks again, tw. The chamomile tea is on me.

#16 Thank you, gentlemen, for your kind words.

gromky, I apologise for my sharp words, but today I really, really needed an afternoon nap instead of that JUSTICE wannabe.

SteveS, had he been arguing instead of repasting the same nastiness repeatedly, I promise I would have left him for y,all to play with. But those mostly seem to have gone the way of the competent jihadis, leaving Satan and his little satanettes to have all the fun.

#17 Make no mistake, I'm all for the wholesale deletion of this pitiful spamming. It doesn't even rise to the level of trolling. I do like the symbolic mockery of leaving a copy in the sink trap for reference. But even that is more than they deserve.
