Some days, I hate Google traffic
I STG, it’s like Google sometimes exists (for me) just to bring aggravation in the form of asshat drive-by commenters. Last week, I added at least five white supremacists to The Ban List who descended on the Rozita Swinton post, and yesterday I added a professional troll. The others who bother to comment are almost always either painfully stupid and write like brain-damaged teenagers texting messages to their dumbass friends, they’re dumping massive copypasta, or they’re stupid moonbats spewing their Barry Obama/Howard Dean-supplied talking points. And it’s always on older posts, which means I never get to enjoy a good old-fashioned beat-down on the offenders with the regulars here. Not that a beating is really necessary, when at least 99% of the time they’re just drive-bys anyway. Failtrolls fail.
Sorry, I just had to vent. It’s nice having decent Google search results - it does bring in traffic - but damn, the traffic quality suuuucks.

LOL Beth! Maybe you could create your own Google search engine for asshats and dump them to Goatse!

Keir O’Neil is a salad-tossing wanker. Ten bucks says he has goatse as his desktop wallpaper.

I’ll learn to read one of these days. Noticed the “add images” after I hit Submit.

Bill Smith says:
Well, you now rank #129, a Large Mammal on TTLB.
Chris says:
You should collect them and dump them into a weekly post called asshats of the week. It would be good for a laugh. Just “so and so” had this to say about “this post” and list them.
Beth says:
Bill, don’t remind me.
I was a “playful primate” for a couple years until recently and got bumped down by spammy blogs and other crap. The ecosystem isn’t really an accurate measure of anything any more, if you go look at it. There are blogs bigger than mine who are even lower in the “rankings.”
Beth says:
I would, Chris, except I hate to give asshats attention. That Kier O’Neil shit? He’s promised to be a thorn in Nice Deb’s side now throughout the election now because he got attention at her site. I feel bad now because I invited the Hate Machine. Of course, she could ban him, like I did.

Hey, Google users have their function! It seems like a lot of them don’t know what ads are so click click click…
Anyway I found this site magically and surely not through any search engine. I wouldn’t want to be mistaken for one of them.
steveegg says:
It could be worse; they could be from Salon. One of my posts somehow got swept up into one of their regular attacks on Michelle Malkin, and I ended up spending much of the day spraying the Troll-B-Gone.
The good news is I learned how to use htaccess to send a couple of the more-egregious trolls directly and permanently to NRE Hell.
Lord Bitememan says:
I wouldn’t worry too much about Kier Beth. Once his unemployment dries up his internet will get shut off. We’ve got him for another five months maximum. :P
Beth says:
Underground, it’s okay if you came from a search engine; you aren’t being an asshat. ;-)
Beth says:
BTW, the lack of posting today has nothing to do with this; I’m just busy + benadryl grogginess + computer issues. Blech.
Lord Bitememan says:
Heh heh, you’re benadrat!
Beth says:
Exactly. Benedrat in the worst way.

When teh trolling at my blogs start to get me down (which isn’t often, the only comments I’d ever gotten was over the Florida Amendment One Stupid Tax fiasco), I just try to remember one thing:
The Delete Key!

Beth says:
Hey Paul! Where ya been?
