Boris slipped...
2004-03-20
Boris has a picture of "me" up on his website, along with an incoherent rant about me being controlled by Jews. Regular readers know that I'm losing my hair — alright, it's gone, then — half Italian and the other half part American Indian (i.e., what hair I do retain that hasn't gone gray used to be black), and agnostic when it comes to religion. The picture on Boris' site is of a Christian minister named Fred Pruitt, who has a full head of blond hair (I am sooooo jealous!) I wonder how much money Cingold could make 30 percent of representing the other Mr. Pruitt?

#24  Pappy, at work now I compose insults on my Palm Pilot. Outwardly it must appear to my employees as if I'm working diligently ... or engaged in Tetris.

#23  I have been looking for an opportunity to try out my latest jab - calling him Subserbiant.

I like it. I had one round chambered: Serbifiable.

#21  30 percent

NOW YOU KNOW WHY I’M A LAWYER, AND NOT A WRITER!

Fred, heck, I’d charge 40 percent 45 percent 50 percent (hmmmmm, how much can I charge ---- ;) ). Seriously, this is probably a “false light” tort (which is a kind of invasion of privacy tort, recognized in some states, but not Colorado). I think it is recognized in California, though. Still, I think the RICO angle is better, because (under the civil portion) if you prevail you get your attorney fees paid for by the loser -- and you can get treble damages (heh, heh, heh).

#20  I've... ahhhh... added another level of defense. He'll be back, though. Briefly.

#19  Boris appears to be at least a 5th level troll with extra hit points. He has more staying power than that Elanor guy. He seems to be much quieter today. I have been looking for an opportunity to try out my latest jab - calling him Subserbiant.

#17  If you do a google search for images of "Fred Pruitt", you get two results---the gif from Fred's bio on Rantburg, and this blond guy (it's TV's Frank!). Ergo, thinks Boris, our Fred Pruitt has to be this Frank Conniff impersonator. Man, wotta maroon.

#15  Hey Fred - You now you've made the "A List" if your Trolls are going to the extra effort of telling their world they hate you.

Well - the rest of us love ya! Hang in there and don't let this hold you or Rantburg back. This site is my favorite. You must know all kinds read your site and if needed, the RANTBURG LEGIONS will answer the call holding the Eagles high. All you need to do is ask. Please do if you ever need us.

FRED AKBAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#14  I might have went to have a peek at the humorous material, but seeing as how he posted something about a person being "controlled by Jews", well, that's all I really needed to know.

#13  I look at the google cache of the site so I don't get any cooties...

#12  If anyone decides to check out Boris' site be careful. As soon as you turn on the lights, cockroaches start scurrying everywhere. Please don't stomp on any because it could be the webmaster himself.

#11  Boris has his own site?!? I'd go look for it, but why bother? There's gotta be something better to do with my time.

Ignoring Boris is one of the easier and more pleasant duties in my life.

#3  Fred, if someone has set up a hate site for you, you've reached the pinnacle.

#2  I'll save Boris the trouble of trolling:

Anyone know how to cure my groin mold?

#1  At least Boris is consistent. His "Fred" post is as factually accurate as everything else on his site.
