I have floundered into some really amazing and disgusting things while investigating this! :-)

I want to be an investigator, too (although probably not in this instance). I took one of those Learning Annex classes about how to be a detective but missed the second class. I think that was the night the really good stuff was covered....

Funny, troll.
You still aren't as clever as you'd like to think.

"Wish I'd thought to save what he was linking from, would have helped. I know what you mean ~ I usually do look to see where a troll's posted image originates, but my reaction to those images yesterday was to simply hit the abuse button and not look back."

I had the same reaction, but I went into my temp. Internet files after the fact, found the images and posted the links yesterday...not sure where exactly in this thread but fairly early.

Ah!

Thank you!

BTW, I have NO problem with the fact that he resents band-width being stolen.

it's how he chose to respond that bothers me.

As a matter of fact, I first posted poor Meek's homepage, I think. Shame on me!

'Tomato,' 'Skirt,' 'Dame,' and 'Broad' were pretty frequently used, too! Wonder where my copy of "The Maltese Falcon" is.....LOL!

Yeah.
I checked to see where he was linking from the one day in the Canteen.
That was, I think, his second hit on the Canteen.
Anyway, I looked at where the link was going to get the image, and it was a spanish language blog.

And I didn't think to keep the link to see if he used it more than the two times I am aware of.

Oh yeah.

Bogie will get you there every time..

"To Have and Have Not", "Casa Blanca", "Key Largo", "African Queen"...it's all good.

If you've ever read "Mike Hammer" books, those are good, too. ( or if you've seen the Stacy Keech series, back before he got busted for drugs by the Brits...)

I haven't caught the whole conversation, I'm working and all of that. But did he come here and post it, or did he change the pic hotlinked from his website? If it was the latter, he did nothing uncouth.

First time I saw the image, it had the "f all jews and *er" message with it.
And it was just the one image with the text.

Thanks...every time I get into a good sleep pattern ("good sleep hygiene" my doctor calls it!), something snaps and I'm all over the place again, sleepwise. After a couple of years or so, I'm starting to get used to it....NOT!

The way I am going to answer this is to ping two people who know more than I do.

Aloette understands how such things work.

Darksheare was in the Canteen, and saw the images with the "slogans'' attached.

I didn't realize there was an honor roll.

Usually these abusers have a fairly distinctive modus operandus: they register and immediately start numerous postings quite prolifically -- whereas the usual real novice would ease into postings, tentatively until he built up his confidence and credibility. Knowing this, forums could create an algorithm in which there is a limit to the number of posts one can make daily to the number of days since they've been registered plus one.

That doesn't affect the authentic poster -- who has probably also been lurking for quite a while before deciding to register to post. It does frustrate the abusers greatly. Since these abusers take great pride in their "cleverness," they make it easy to get caught because that is the fame and attention they want -- and can't get otherwise. They can not compete with everybody else on the same basis; a lot of the liberal/leftist protestors are this way also. Condemned to lives of unrelenting mediocrity and disdain, their only talent is their unique ability to inspire revulsion in others. That's why they have no life other in their distinctive perversion -- to offend and outrage others; that is their power trip, their triumph in life, their only fame and pride, but they cannot even claim that.

Eventually, I think these forums go the way of the Huffington innovation of prohibiting anonymous postings entirely. That is the source of the problem; nobody would do such sick things if they weren't given the protection of anonymity. The posters at Huffington, have no value anonymously -- since that is the only thing many of them have going for them -- their celebrity. Without that, their postings are obviously not noteworthy. On the other hand, those who are good at these forums, don't remain anonymous.

What even the abusive poster wants to do is to be known and to know others. Anonymity doesn't serve this purpose but creates nearly all of its problems. Even mainstream media must consider giving this source up as really being a great part of undermining their own credibility. Here they are supposedly being the legitimate source -- yet claiming their strength on their ability to get anonymous sources; they can't have it both ways -- and their advantage should be that they can get their information easier straight up. By thinking they have to cheat to win (the typical liberal/leftist strategy), they undermine their own advantage and credibility -- and credibility, is the name of the game.
