UnCTRL+Alt-Delete
Last night, during the Republican debate on CNN, I dropped in at Eschaton —my favorite Left-wing blog— and managed to stumble into what the regulars there prize most in life: the soul-satisfying glory of being the first commenter on a thread. The little rodents get so excited about marking their territory in this way that they have immortalized the panicky spelling of the word first with frist. Thus, for the rest of the time a given thread remains active, one must start from the top where pride of place is marked by this familiar ejaculate: Frist!
But I didn’t think to write frist, burdened as I am to think at all. Instead, I wrote a single sentence to the effect that I was liveblogging the debate at my (this) blog, if anyone cared.
Within moments, as always, there were many other comments from those who had wandered up from the previous turn of the hamster wheel. Someone made some retort to my invitation and I replied, although I don’t recall now which of my friends was declining to come by.
But then, for the first time I can ever recall it happening —in all the years I have tormented the losers there with the certain knowledge of their stupidity— I returned to that thread to find that the first dozen or more comments had been deleted. And, in their place, the guest-blogger Thersites, whose post it was, had written “First!”
The best evidence of this deletion —because the piece of shit won’t cop to doing it— is the fact that Thersites claimed to be “first” at 8:43 PM when, in fact, the post had been open since 8:37 PM. Posts at Eschaton do not go that long without a comment. It just doesn’t happen.
Why did Thersites delete my invitation and the comments of many others? Because he knows that he’s an unprincipled loser. He’s afraid of me and ashamed of his own many shortcomings. He has libeled me and slandered me countless times. He has no ability to refute me as a thinker or a writer, so he resorts to lies and distortions. The record on this is clear. And can be made clearer any time he wishes.
