I Do This Very Seldom...

But I have banned a commenter. As many of you know, JadeGold is a serial troll of the highest order, banned at innumerable blogs for his (yes, it's a he) complete avoidance of reality. So, if you're reading from the Baltimore area via Comcast and cannot comment, my apologies. If you're a user of the Navy Network Information Servers and cannot comment, again, my apologies.

It would appear that JadeGold came a-visitin' just a few minutes ago:

I suspect he's probably on his way to a Starbuck's for a WiFi address that's not blocked, veins throbbing at his temples right now.

Actually I like toying with ole' Guy Cabot before I ban him (again). That "Emerson is dicta" bit, for example, was fun!

The funny thing is, I'm certain that little Guy - living in Prince Georges County, Maryland - probably owns more than one firearm that the State of Maryland doesn't approve of. He really strikes me as the "do as I say, not as I do" type.

(Of course, there's always the possibility that getting banned at another site has given him some weird sort of sexual gratification....)

UPDATE: According to Sitemeter, Guy was still on the site when I posted this. He spent twenty minutes, not two.

He ended up hopping over to SayUncle and...

Well, you've just got to read it. It's classic projection.
