You've probably blocked the commenters. Socks and actuallynot are being twits, as usual.

blocked users socks

He must have made the first comment, as I seem to recall checking a box to hide comment threads starting with a blocked user.

He's like the 2nd or 3rd user I've blocked since 2005.

I don't understand why the folks here entertain him.

He first got upset if anyone talked bad about Jews, now he talks about them as if he always saw their evil. He's a duplicitous cunt.

He also refers to me often in other posts, so that I'll come in guns blazing and so that he can undermine my own position with his moral grandstanding. I really don't understand how he's still here.

Admins need to be tough on obvious shills.

It's probably the schizophrenic nature of his account. Sometimes it's like there's a real thinking person generating the comments. This sets up the 'intermittent reward' process that a consistent shill wouldn't see.

Other times it seems to be in full bot mode, and comes up with the most ludicrous claims. Most of the time he's clearly commenting and replying in bad faith, but his defense of "simply being retarded" is too plausible to ban him.

I finally blocked that account because those comments were so ridiculous that it was too tempting to reply.

Related topic: Have been having a rat problem in my back yard, and just trapped it under a bucket a few minutes ago. I put a rat trap out yesterday, with a chunk of cheese on the trigger, secured with twist ties this time. I think it gave the rat a concussion when it triggered, which is why it was just wandering around in the daylight. Just for the next few hours, I'm going to call it socks. lol
