Trolls Make My Teeth Ache

[filkertom]

I seem to have a troll. Loads of fun, and nearly completely wrong on everything except the fact that I used to have a really messy car, which was kinda common knowledge so it's not exactly the big reveal in Act Three of CSI: Fandom.

Word to the troll, whose IP is noted and logged: Don't bother. I am not a tech whiz, and don't pretend to be one. I know lots of real tech whizzes, and they are the people I go to when I have serious problems. But I'm not clueless either.

If you've got a genuine problem with me about something, the e-mail is filkertom at yahoo dot com. I'll listen. If I just offend you on general principles, though, sorry, but I don't feel like explaining private details of my life just to deflect an amateur-night Don Rickles. If you just want to insult me from behind a fake name, both of us have better things to do.

So, is anybody else holding some kinda grudge I should know about? Have I ticked you off? Something unresolved? I'm very serious here. Apart from the Bush Administration and their enablers, I don't need or want enemies. Certainly not in fandom, not among people whom I consider friends. If you'd rather take it to e-mail, that's good too.

I think you're very wrong about this. But we're going around and around and around and I don't think it's helping, so we should probably break it off.

You keep saying we have to be reasonable, and I keep saying we tried reasonable and we got stomped and blamed for the stomping.

All we can do is say the truth. If we say it quietly, they don't listen. If we say it loudly, you say they fear us.

Fuck it. I'm a loud son of a bitch. And I do my best to be loud with the truth.
