I don’t “do” Twitter and don’t miss commenting on blogs/elsewhere*). I fought with trolls before we called them “trolls.” I remember when the term came up and I thought, not if Tolkien but if fishing by: trolling. It took me a while to learn: Do Not Feed The Trolls. 🧌I’m tired. pic.twitter.com/RBHe728gGM

Nowadays I don’t get any. If I did, I’d just delete them, since I can’t argue back anyway. And really, who wants to argue with uneducable idiots? ETTD is a fundamental law of the universe. So is: “You can’t fix stupid.”
Vladeck’s a professor, he’s gonna keep trying. Me, I’m retired: fuck ‘em.
*It’s a technical FUBAR that blocks me from commenting, here or elsewhere. And where it doesn’t I don’t even try because, why bother? That’s why I post here: to shoot my mouth off. It’s a safe space.
I started using the Pale Moon lightweight browser on my computer so I can, sometimes, use the very faint signal from my brothers house way away from me and I found it allows me to answer comments on my own blog whereas Firefox doesn't. I have no idea why that is.
