Hoist the black flag and play that Mexican song!


When pirates were sailing the ocean blue they often sailed under "false flags." They would sail along up to some fat merchantman disguised as some pussy Dutch or Portugee ship and at the last minute break out the false flag of piracy and attack.

Thus the terms "false flag operations" came into being. It can be logically inferred that someone using a sock puppet on the internets could be flying under a false flag. I don't view it that way if every name or identity you post under has a distinct personality or point of view. Any comment you make under any name should stand on it's own. I mean the blogging cockroach and the Sir Archy have their own voices and stand alone in their identity. So does Meade and Cedarford even though they are the same person. So they are the same person. Big deal. Each character has it's own voice.

Beth has intimated that she knows who posted the "dirty libtard whore" comment at Ace of Spades HQ. I hope she is not assuming it was me, because I have to plead innocence in this particular case. I do not deny I might have posted many comments that were not nice about the blogger lady but this was not one of them. I swear. I actually haven't ever posted at Ace before this thread. And you can tell that it is true for two reasons.

First of all I never refer to the evil blogger lady by name. I have that old Italian superstition that if you mention the devil by name he/she will appear. So you will note that I never ever mention that persons name as it was mentioned in the comment that caused all the problems.

Secondly, I certainly do not think she is a libtard.

So I plead innocent in this one. Anything I have to say on this subject will be said here on my blog under my character only. I have been trying to be good and ignoring the whole infighting bullshit and had nothing to do with any of that nonsense other than a couple of comments I posted after I found out about the whole mess.

But what do you expect from a New Orleans Saints fan. They never get anything right.

I still love you though Beth.

Trooper York said...

I just think you are confused.

Trooper York said...

I mean you actually think the Saints are gonna win the Super Bowl.

Trooper York said...

Besides I think it was Pogo who posted that at Ace.

Trooper York said...

Just kidding. I know it was Brazilian Samba Rythrm.

Trooper York said...

Isn't inside blogger baseball so boring. It feels like fantasy football.

Anonymous said...

I'm so in the dark about this whole affair. I saw that the blond blogger lady was upset about some trashing she took over at some other blog that I don't think I've ever read, but I didn't dream that anyone cared enough to research, consider, and make an accusation. Someone fingered you? Preposterous.

It was Colonel Mustard in the library with a rope and Miss Scarlet.

Trooper York said...

Oh I don't even know if she meant me, but it sounded like she did. So this is a preventive strike. You know to nip it in the bud.

Sort of what Obama should have done in Japan.

Wait can you still say "Nip."

Sorry.

blake said...

Well, the hashtags at Ace are pretty good at identifying sock puppets.

I asked her who she meant. It's not really in character for you—quoting "Anchorman"?—or anyone I could readily ID.

Trooper York said...

Yeah I think she thought it was me but it wasn't. I think the whole thing is very funny but I no longer mention the evil one by name.

Haven't for months.

blake said...

She-who-shall-not-be-named sort of rolls off the tongue.

Trooper York said...

Please dude, that's Meade's problem.You are giving me the willies.

Trooper York said...

Dude. I am sorry but I had to delete that. Remember keep it oblique at all times. Use meataphors if you will. Baldly stating even true facts does not do anyone any good. It's like posting "spoilers" when reviewing a movie. Let the story unfold naturally. If the audience is smart enough they will figure it out themselves. Just sayn.

Trooper York said...

But I missed you man, you haven't been posting much. Great to see you back.

chickelit said...

So does Meade and Cedarford even though they are the same person.

Meadarford?

I noticed he's been sucking up pretty hard lately, even using terms like "man-up" (I'd link the meaning/context of that but I'll keep things oblique).

I missed all that stuff with Beth. I'm taking a time out.

Trooper York said...

It wasn't a lot of stuff. Just one line. I just wanted to be clear from the get go. I can't take the rap for that one. I can be blamed for a lot but not that.

I think Beth is one of the best commenters anywhere. She is the bee's knee's.

I just didn't want to get in between the gang at Ace and evil blogger lady's flying monkeys.

Jason (the commenter) said...

I saw that the blond blogger lady was upset about some trashing she took...

She seems to like it...

Darcy said...

I'm so out of the loop.

Am I more out of the loop than blake?

*sigh*

blake said...

There's a loop?

Ritmo Re-Animated said...

I thought I'd interrupt this regularly scheduled broadcast to inform you that I think Blake's new avatar is pretty cool.

I didn't realize there was a whole spectating scene to the travails of the evil lady blog, but it's kind of interesting to watch from the outside in. So to speak. You guys have so much more of the goods on what's really going on over at that side of the aisle, as opposed to the subterfuge I get at other sites that shall remain unnamed. It's cool. And oh so human.

Most of the libtards are unable to look at the right as anything other than a different species. But I want the real scoop.

Anonymous said...

Would it be too far to say that the term attention whore might fit some bloggers? If that isn't oblique enough, I can delete this.

Trooper York said...

No that's fine. Generic statments are perfectly fine. If you smelt it you dealt as it were. You have to want to have a fight if those are fighting words.

Of course some people revel in fighting and piting one commenter against another and thier attitudes bleeds over to the flame wars that infest thier sites.

I think that is fine if that is what you want to do but it isn't my way of doing things. I bust everybody's balls equally and expect the same treatment in return.

Trooper York said...

Hey I will even bust your ovaries. Don't want to leave the dolls out!

I lookin at you Beth!

Trooper York said...

If you don't blame me for anoymous nasty snark about the evil blogger lady I won't blame you for Margaret Cho.

Just sayn'

Beth said...

Mea culpa, Trooper.

She who must not be named pointed out to me that I was off-base, by the way.

I thought the pirate remark and her response was all pretty funny - she seems in a good humor about it - so I didn't think about the fact that the whole thing was also fairly public, and my speculating would be stirring the pot. I'm sorry to have slurred you, as I think you know, calling me the bee's knees and all. So thanks for that.

But have I mentioned that the New Orleans Saints are 8-0? The Superbowl is the week of Mardi Gras. I'm just sayin'.

Beth said...

I can't be held responsible for Margaret Cho. Wanda Sykes, maybe, but not Cho.

And I have no ovaries to bust. They weren't working out so I had to give them the heave-ho.

Penny said...

Who's this Ace guy?

I like what I see.

Too few men lead with their "polite". Those few that do certainly have my attention.

Penny said...

"And I have no ovaries to bust."

? Hm ?

Darcy:

I like the internets because it keeps me out of the loop.

Trooper York said...

Never fear Beth. You are my second favorite all time lesbo, right after Catherine Deneuve in "The Hunger."

Michael Haz said...

I'm so out of the loop.

Am I more out of the loop than blake?


Yep, that'd be me. I have no loopage. I am Beyond the Valley of the Loop.

Who's compiling the Cliff's Notes version for those of us who are 100% loop-free?

Trooper York said...

Dude you are back in action. Great. I am so glad that you are back commenting.

I thought those sex change operations took a lot out of you but you bounced back so quick.

Welcome back!
