Public Note to a Private Douchebag

Hello to the ball-less stain who visited this site via some sort of anonymous browsing service.

You should know that even though you don't appear in my "stats" as having visited, your comment did come in with an IP address. Consider yourself, and it, banned.

ok, take into consideration that I'm a little punchy due to insomnia but for some bizarre reason when I saw this headline on the Recent Entry list, I heard in my head:

o/~ I'm your private douchebag, a douchebag for money, do what you want me to do o/~

I'm sure Tina Turner would not be pleased!

Tim: I banned this person for a specific comment. I also banned him because I have no place in my life for cowards who hide behind fake names or phone email addresses.

I really don't care if people "surf" anonymously. That's fine. But if someone has something to say to me, then it's time to remove the mask and face any "consequences" like an adult, not a cowering little pussy.

I have no place in my life -- either online or offline -- for childish games.

And with that, I offer my signature line: "Feh. Kaka."

I *don't* care, at least not in the sense that my asking these questions goes anywhere beyond idle curiosity. I recognize that this is Jodi's site, and that she can do whatever she wants with it, so my purpose in commenting was to ask why rather than simply criticize. Trying to be a sneaky little anonymous 'tard is obviously a good way to make people annoyed with you, but I was just wondering (and still do) what else this guy did in order to deserve a post all his own. Banning him for a specific comment more sense than a ban due to the way he chooses to surf, because the IP masking services he uses will continue to allow him to access jodieverse anonymously.

ooh ooh here we go....

Not feeling like talking eh?

I've got 5 quid on the girl with the IP Blocker.

I don't get it. Tim, why do you care?? some trouser stain comes floating through and doesn't have the basic curtousy of announcing him/her self... the ballless thing leaves gender up in the air still.
Given a chance Tim you'd probably hate the anal tounge teaser also. This is the guy who calls you up, blocks his number on caller ID, and then gets mad at you for not answering when we calls be cause it just looks like another asshole that doesn't have the basic manners to announce himself when calling upon you.

I say Ban Him Again!!!! BAN EM ALL, Let the Circuit Boards Sort em out!!!!

Tim: Your last comment begins with "As far as I know ...". Well, you don't know anything about the circumstances, so you cannot comment adequately. Instead, you choose to question why I did what I did.

Here's my answer: I did what I did because I wanted to do it. (See Christine's comment, immediately following yours.)

You say that I "might be paying a little too much attention to the IP addresses of everyone who logs on to [my] site." Well, I think you're paying a little bit too much attention to this.

Ball-less! This reminds me of a joke I heard when quite a bit younger...

What do you call an uncircumcised Jewish child?

Yikes.

Okay, I think we're all mighty curious now as to what would make our dear Jodi so upset.

(other than people at her gym, people at her market, people on the street, people engaged in various methods of public transportation, people begging for money through websites, people...people who need people, etc.)

And Revo: yuck.

*glancing meaningfully into lap first* Let the record show that there is nothing specifically wrong in being ball-less. Some of the coolest people I know were born without them.

However, being a stain... well, that's a darker and stickier matter.

Offered by: revolution9 on August 28, 2002 6:13 AM

Ummmm...I believe that Jodi said that the *ball-less stain* did indeed leave a comment. Which I'm sure she deleted as soon as she saw it. I didn't see it, but since this is Jodi's blog, she can delete and/or ban whoever the fuck she feels like deleting or banning.

Whenever one leaves a comment in a Movable Type powered blog, the IP addy is logged...so that is how she found it, and was able to ban it. I've banned many a *ball-less stain* myself!

If someone does not like a particular blog, they should just leave, and not return. How hard is that for these pea brains to absorb?

Why all the anger towards this nameless fellow? As far as I know, he didn't commit the cardinal sins of trolling, flooding, or being an immature prick. He might just be some random privacy nut who always hides his browsing, for whatever reason. For this, people want to drop him into the Rancor pit with Anna Nicole Smith -- a fate worse than death! If his visible behavior didn't do anything to tick you off, coming after him for anonymous browsing would only make him more determined to hide his identity, as well as suggest that you might be paying a little too much attention to the IP addresses of everyone who logs on to your site.

Offered by: tim on August 28, 2002 3:30 AM

Douchebag? Jodi, you used my word! You have single-handedly made my evening. You know, I could take it upon myself to hunt down the guy and ...

... On second thought, I'm not even gonna try to beat the Anna Nicole Smith idea. Forfeit!

Not that I'm suggesting anything.... see the halo??? just behind the horns. bent, tarnished... its there....

Denial of Service can be a wonderful thing....

Offered by: ShutterBug on August 28, 2002 2:01 AM

hmmm... I'd really hate to find the IP to be a corporate firewall..... look at all the work that would be getting done!!!!

Offered by: ShutterBug on August 28, 2002 1:21 AM

and that is why I keep coming back for more. (as me.)

Offered by: Sassy McSmartpants on August 28, 2002 12:18 AM

Jodi,

I hate it when you keep the good shit to yourself. You're so inconsiderate that way. Damn you! Damn you, I say! ;)

Offered by: Tess on August 27, 2002 8:19 PM

Probably some college kid on a public terminal somewhere on his campus. Same sort of trick we use when sending threatening anonymous emails.

Offered by: Dan the Goose on August 27, 2002 8:08 PM

Yes, I think your regular readers have a right to know, so that we can band together, with flaming torches and pitchforks, and storm this wanker's castle, dragging him from it, to face trial by fire, trial by hanging, and if that doesn't work, we'll lock him in a room with a hungry Anna-Nicole Smith.

Offered by: Max on August 27, 2002 6:07 PM

I'm a little confused. I glanced through the comments and didn't see anything too awful (unless it was deleted), so I was wondering if it was just the fact of someone accessing your site anonymously that got you so upset. Btw, how did you connect the post to the anonymous browser?

Offered by: tim on August 27, 2002 4:45 PM

Sorry. How'd you know I don't have any balls?
