Man when you think you are out they try to pull you back in.
It seems that Leisure Suit Larry and his scabrous spinster spouse are still obsessed with me for some unknown reason. Imagine my surprise when I go over to Lem's and see that he pulled a random comment from months ago to make a stink about and peg his sanctimonious bleating to burnish his credentials as not a racist? What the fuck?
I have to laugh. I guess they miss the days when Spinelli and Inga and Shouting Thomas and Titus and Ritmo and I were pushing the comment count to over 400 on every thread. Now that Spinelli and Inga have taken their dance over to Turley and Shouting and I have pretty much concentrated on our own blogs I guess their count must be really down. I know some of youse guys like chickie still follow and post over there so they would know better than me.
It is pretty reprehensible that Larry wants to use a tragedy as a way to score points but you can't expect anything better from him. I know he wants to capitalize off this tragedy. Even if it to just put on his mantle of self righteousness (TM Freeman Hunt) to cover up his sins.
It does pose a problem for me. Do I let it go? Or do I respond to the shots. I responded to the bullshit this time but I don't know if I want to make a habit of it.
Life is too short and I am just too busy these days.

I would let it go if I were you. As I've said over and over again, a big reason that I read that blog is that it occasionally plugs into Madison news. My mom lives there but she's 78 and doesn't read blogs. I had to tell her about Fox News recently.
I did have to LOL over at A'house today. Ritmo was over there doing a perfect Crack EmCee impression, getting all riled about the Confederate flag. A commenter named moneyrunner layed a doozy. I know Ritmo reads here (waves) but what the hell--I'll cut and paste it here:

"So, does R&B blow up and attempt to dominate all the comment threads here at Althouse?"
Because he's Ann's alter ego. He's her id; the things she's not allowed to say. There was another racist that camped on Ann's blog some time ago, "the crack MC." That was Ann as a tran-racial trans-gender creature.
She draws them like flies to honey. You will not see that kind of hate on Glenn Reynolds blog. he doesn't invite it.
You have to remember that Ann is an Obama fan, the Obama of her imagination. The Magic Negro Obama.

I thought that was pitch perfect!
I haven't seen any mention of you at Althouse in a long, long time. I think Meade saves it all up for Lem's. But remember the brilliant experiment that T.T. Burnett did on his blog. He made mention of Meade and Althouse and then timed how long it took for the appearance of a Madison IP address signature via sitemeter. It took minutes IIRC.
Your name came up a couple times at Lem's prior to Meade's reappearance. Maybe he was stalking you?
Instapundit had an old Clinton Gore logo in a Confederate battle flag. Get the dog fucker to comment on that one.
Or best ignore him. That is what the dog fucker hates most of all.
I am ignoring everything that happens at TOP because I don't read it and don't care anymore.
But I think when he calls me out directly at Lem's I have to respond as I did. So I will play it as it goes.
Ritmo loves to argue so I guess he couldn't resist jumping in at TOP since they most likely only have the dregs remaining.
An interesting sidelight is that someone emailed me that MadisonMan is now also blogging as Madisonfella in a much more savagely liberal vein. He said that because the same exact word for word post when up in a thread. First as MadisonMan and then as madisonfella. It was very liberal and cutting so I guess MadisonMan is showing his true colors and just got his accounts mixed up.
This emailer faithfully emails me and tells me what is happening at TOP so I know that I am not in the mix over there. There are a bunch of people who want to restart the war. Meade among them. But I say let it go like those little bitches that sing that stupid song all day long.

The truth is, Althouse's blog continues to be viable and active. While the numbers and acclaim she garners may not be what she once had or desires to have, her blog is definitely not in decline or barely limping along. It draws in people from different walks of life, with more than a few providing insightful, humorous or clearly presented opinions that don't, in my opinion, fall into the "dregs" category. Disliking her, her commentary, her approach, her husband, and their character does not mean she isn't providing a forum that engages others and continues to invite and allow for (albeit moderated) the public expression of opinion, which in itself remains a good and All American thing to be doing.
Do I think the hostess is going to run into her unresolved issues again further down the road? Yes, I do, because that's how life works with what wasn't addressed at one time tending to come up again for a redo. That said, I don't see the point of perpetuating the story of her blog being a floundering failure incapable of drawing in anything other than crap for commenters. Some wonderful, funny, and incisive commenters left there for good following the 4th of July Upset, a few remained, some returned for their own reasons and others have arrived as newcomers. I've made my own choice regarding the wisdom and worth of reading and commenting there, and I respect those who've done the same, doing what they want to do without going either/or into spitefulness or blind trust.
As for Ritmo, his love of argument is not what shows up as most prominent in the comments he drops at Althouse or Lem's.

I get that vibe too. It seems more like a personal and destructive desire to offend as many as possible. All of the argumentative passion goes into invective. That's why the alter ego comparison is so apt. It's like "don't you guys realize who I really am?"
"The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde" is a favorite of mine. So is Stephen Crane's "The Bride Come To Yellow Sky." They all anticipated Freud so well.
Troop, I have a hard time believing that MadisonMan and Madisonfella are the same person. I guess I'd have to see the evidence.
I don't believe them to be the same person, chickelit. MadisonMan's been around since I started reading, delivering his opinions with a consistent voice. Seems to me as though Madisonfella showed up around the time Inga/Oop was trotting out a closet full of sock puppets and dominating the Althouse blog with her antics just prior to or after the July Dust Up.
What happened to her? Was she suddenly blocked at Althouse after months of being allowed to basically run the show and drive up comments there? Did she lose interest? Was her IP address used by the moderator there to limit her puppet activity? Why would someone with such a prominent voice and ability to disrupt basically give up and go away? One thing's for sure, she didn't change her ways, with 19 more puppets showing up to wreak havoc at Turleys, before the moderator there called her out on it and something was either said or done to curtail that craziness.
The flip from MadisonMan to Madisonfella is one of those non-creative and unimaginative twists that sounds more like spoof than a good name for a 2nd voice. It's no where close to the creative prowess of Baron Zemo!
All of the argumentative passion goes into invective. Bulls-eye in 10 words or less.
Speaking of chirbits and the July meltdown: the bulk of my chirbits date from that time period. Because I saved them on my iPhone/itunes, the recording date is stored as well. It would be rather easy for my to go back and link the original quote from Althouse threads which I was spoofing because I tended to do them in the same thread. I tried doing just that a week ago or so for one of my ritmo chirbits only to find that ritmo's original comment had been permanently deleted by a blog administrator (I mean without trace) -- even though there is context surrounding the comment proving that it existed! I thought that odd.
I just wonder what purpose is served by Leisure Suit Larry coming over to Lem's to stir up the shit? I don't go to TOP so I don't know if is still viable but I get reports that comments are way down. That seems important to them along with Amazon dough that they used to beg to get.
It feels to me that he Gomes to stir the shit in the hope that he can get some of those who left to come back even if it just to fight with him. Shouting Thomas falls for that all the time.
It's not a good look.
I think Meade's just lashing out. I also think he tends to group people. Remember the "Dirty Dozen"? -- Meade and Althouse's shit list of troublemakers? Meade probably thinks that we all somehow act in concert and take orders from you, Der Furor, inside this blog. Swig Heil!
I'll give you the same advice about Meade that Spinelli gave me about Titus (which infuriated me): don't worry about him--I'll tell you when he goes over the line.
I don't worry about him but I am not going to take any shit from him either.
I am not the forgiving kind of guy. An Irish Italian is a bad mix for forgiveness. The Italian in me believes in vendetta and going to the mattresses. And an Irishman is great at holding two things. His liquor and a grudge.
I just wonder what purpose is served by Leisure Suit Larry coming over to Lem's to stir up the shit?
Foreplay?
Posturing?
Securing his place at the table?
Self-Justification?
Setting others straight?
Pissing on the furniture?
Amusing himself?
Looking for a place to rumble and engage in negative intimacy?
It's my guess he's looking for what he lost or traded away, and there's no going back to get it now that he has what he wanted and is living without the sweet companionship of the dog he hoped to own someday or the freedom he used to enjoy. It's no fun trying to control a controller, the sense of flow diminishes, rigidity emerges and the box one lives in becomes smaller and more contrived, like those tiny houses being admired and considered. And it's definitely not a picnic to play second fiddle to a narcissist. The need never ends and first place is rarely open, yet once the dance is underway it's difficult to step back or out and even harder to keep dancing and hold on to integrity.
And there's the word: integrity. Meade traded his integrity away with his behavior at Lem's which left him with little to do but jab at others about theirs whenever the need to feel special arises. He deliberately goes hooking after Trooper, who walks into the game with only slightly less dependability than Shouting. It gives me the creeps to watch him work.
Regardless of how grudge holding and vendetta driven you may be Trooper, engaging with him at this point is folly. Having no time to rest or take care of your own garden means no time to shovel manure elsewhere either. Conserve your strength, step out of the circle for a while and let others take him on when he shows up. They know what to do. People who engage as he does are like the energizer bunny, they keep going and going until they eventually wear out those who still have a working heart. What they do to creative spirits is another matter, but the result is just as deadly. Evan was needlessly crushed for the cause. That's squarely on Meade and his integrity will remain in question until the day comes when he owns his part and apologizes.
I will say this made me laugh:
He is also collecting money for the victims. Send him money and he will pass it along.
You can trust him. What could go wrong?
We all have a finite store of emotional energy. Where we choose to spend it is up to us. The well of apathy, however, is an abyss from which we can freely draw.
I am struggling with ignoring him. I am much better than I was. I point to Shouting Thomas because I think we share a lot in how we react to people. He takes no prisoners. Neither do I.
I just couldn't ignore this last outburst because he called me out directly. It wasn't a passing reference. You can't let that go. At least I can't. That doesn't mean I am going to follow him to TOP to fight with him. But Lem's is one of the few places left that I frequent and I can't allow him free reign to attack without responding.
I have enough energy for that.
I'm predicting another big Althousian meltdown in the coming week. This will be precipitated by SCOTUS decisions on gay marriage and Obamacare. If the Court decides against her personal preference (unlikely), she will blog against SCOTUS nonstop, nitpicking down to the personal level of each Justice, alienating many readers. If the Court decides for her preferences (more likely) she will gloat as she did before ("man up losers-you lost--and this time for good!").
The worst part about Althouse is that she's become so predictable and unoriginal.
A possible gracious way out for her would be to take the Christian example of the Charleston congregation and simple forgive and forget any outcome. How likely is that?
Fuck that guy. Seriously fuck him. I have no doubt that he fed Inga my personal info for her to use against me. He is a little cockroach who isn't above doing something so fucking slimy. Between the drunken Harpy he has to manage (and I don't mean the lunatic faux-nurse) and his stint with his only four legged friends, I'm not shocked by his actions. He's an attention whore who needs to think he requires relevancy of "I'll show them!!!"

Good subject for a poll, don't you think? What's the worst part of Althouse?

Her rusty, sand-filled snatch. Now I can see why the Grifter is so angry.
Nice.
You are coming up with some superb bon mots today my friend.
I salute you!
Go to hell, Jim Dolan.
No really, go straight to hell.
