Every once in a while I'll write something that doesn't jive with someones worldview, and they will take it upon themselves to "educate" me.
Some chick said she told a Green Beret on me because I didn't see things her way about a journalist. Nothing came of that. So far the super secret world of Special Forces hasn't come down on me for not thinking that Michael Yon is the devil. Heck, the last few times I spoke with long tabbers they had no clue who MY was, or why he was supposed to be such a scourge of written words.
Some guy with the handle of "CrankyYankee" thinks that if "Operation Barbarossa were successful we wouldn't have our current troubles" to paraphrase the drunken ravings of a madman. If history were different then history would be different, unfortunately arguing about alternate history is about as useful as tits on a boar hog. Then again, arguing over fiction seems to be largely what the internet allows to happen, along with the convenience of the most massive repository of pornography in human history.
So, here is some hints about how to engage in discussions on the internet.
1. If your sentences look like the drunken ravings of a semi literate high school dropout (such as the number of punctuation symbols rivals the number of actual letter characters) you should probably just save the world the trouble of having to listen to your genius.
2. If the extent of your insults comes down to "knucklehead", "cunt", or "douche bag" you are obviously not rubbing both brain cells together. Do the world a favor and suck start a pistol.
3. If you think that going to someones blog and calling them a coward as a taunt and challenge to post your thoughtless and abusive comments is a good idea you might want to try rethinking that little gem of wisdom. Dale Carnegie wrote a book, and I am sure that it is still available in dead tree format from your local public library.
4. If you routinely get into pissing matches on the internet, a place where everyone has a voice, the problem just might be you. I don't think having two opinionated folks comment on my blog over multiple years of blogging makes me the problem.
5. If you can't find someone else to publish your thoughtless and abusive comments, make your own blog and show the world your genius. If you end up with three to nine hits in six months from your Mother then maybe you should tailor your blog to that particular demographic.
6. Don't drink and post.

Might I add...if you think your opinion counts for anything other than a few extra bits of 1s and 0s in digital format, you need to get a damn life. And I'm directing that at trolls (not you, AmericanMercenary) or those who feel the need to act as if they know you on the internet because they've read a few of your blog posts. That shit used to make me NUTS when I was writing more. ;-)
Yes lovely Trolls who write stuff they know nothing about to get a response from others. Or even worse they do it do invalidate your opinion or the information that you put forward. My previous blpg was shut down by me because of people like that. Havent found many this time around.
And I do enjoy reading your blog. Be a boring old place without validated points of view
Thanks AM, Just proves the point... Thank you for the validation.
Must have hit a nerve, Wow, and your upset, guess what, I'm ten times smarter than you, pardon the following pejorative, Asshole, But your time is short, I revel in that fact.
But inclusively, Thanks for making me a household word, usually that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, made me an Icon, on the cheap, I'm great-full, Jackass......................
And your still a Fucking Coward................
Just an after though..... CrankyYankee in a Brighton Beach, Jewish accent...... OY,OY Vey, you Kerfuffle mensch.
And as usual, My tagline, Your still a Fucking Coward..............
Awe AM your hurt poor little ole crankyyankee's feelings.
Now he'll probably pout in mommy's basement as he tries to think up some more clever liberal trash talking points.
RWSIII
RWSIII, your Jew is showing........... as usual, never address the content.
How about a name, so we can put you on my list, another "Fucking Coward".
Keep validating my point, of course, I'm a High-school drop out.........
@CrankyYankee...My jew is showing? Actually CY I'm an American of mostly Irish and Native American Indian....yeah my great great grand pappy like red meat.
How about a name...ok you can call me CrankyYankee's superior intellect, or Bob, Tom, John, Larry or Moe...but don't call me Surely....I hate that.
I'm on a few lists...just which list do you have in mind....I believe DHS's list takes precedence.
A coward....well I admit that I am afraid because of liberal tools such as yourself our country is heading in the wrong direction.
Now begone.....you bore me I shall waste no more of my time, nor American Mercenary's time exchanging banter with your dim-witted, childish mind.

I don't usually like to insert myself into someone's fight, but CY's writing skills are amongst the worst I have ever seen on the internet, or come to think of it, anywhere else. Sure, sometimes I type differently than my mind is thinking, but I do make a reasonable attempt to proofread the posts that I write.
I have also learned that anyone that has to tell you how smart they are typically have some insecurity issues, but I'm sure you already knew this.
Sorry, just had to add my two cents.
It just so happens that I AM a High School drop out, I'm also a fairly PO'd person from New England, which makes me a "true Yankee", so I thought I should weigh in.
Troll's should stay under their bridge . They have no power elsewhere.
I do find it ironic the person throwing around the "coward" accusation does so from behind an anonymous screen name.
In other places I often make insulting, or inflammatory comments.
However I support them with historical facts, quotes, and an explanation of my thinking.
I alo put my name and location on every effing one of them.

PS, the reason I'm a PO'd person has to do with Washington, not anything I've read hear.
