Looks like I have netted my first troll. So far, after blogging for nigh on four years, I’ve managed to escape the brain-dead numb-skulls of the type that infest other bloggers from time to time.
It seems that my post on Max Mosely yesterday struck a nerve. IAN – for he comments in capital letters and is therefore a cretin – felt sufficiently incensed by my comments to flame me.
A brief reminder of my comments policy may be in order here. Unlike others, I do not keep troll comments in place. They devalue the conversation. If you are too stupid to put together a reasoned, thought through comment, preferring instead to shout your puerile insults at me with no input to the discussion, then your comment will be deleted and you will be summarily banned. There is no right of appeal as I don’t tolerate wilful stupidity.
As it happened, IAN’s comment popped into my in-box within a minute or so of it being posted as I was online at the time. So, to IAN, fuckwit extraordinare; congratulations, within the space of three minutes you made an arse of yourself, got your comment zapped and got banned from further commenting. That has to be a record.
