From Lem's Learning Levity: The funniest comment there yet!
@madawaskan, I'm one of Lem's best
commenters. Perhaps you should take your own suggestion
Michaleen Flynn: No patty-fingers, if you please. The proprieties at all times. Hold on to your hats
Meade adds a certain frisson of bitch to the threads.
ReplyDeleteHe really needs to find another patch of dirt to play in.
ReplyDeleteIf he and she ever drive the TT to LA, they should be sure to eat at Café Gratitude, where they can read the menu to each other and feel affirmed.
ReplyDeleteSixty: I think he's just doing what he used to do at Isthmus (so I read numerous times via Althouse) which was to gadfly the forum.
ReplyDeleteHe's also doing what he perceived people did to the threads at Althouse.
...you keep using that word...
ReplyDelete...you keep using that word...
ReplyDelete"A-house"? I'll try to keep it down.
Lem's is going to hell, and I helped. Oh well, at least we still have Troopski's place.
ReplyDeleteLet's get something straight, Sixty: chirbit link

I think that is a very astute comment. We know what flies are attracted do now don't we?
Meade is just showing himself to be a dick.
ReplyDeleteI am going to make a suggestion, we mock the bs comments over there, over here. We let the douchebags reveal themselves at Lem's. And out of respect to Lem we keep promoting him and positively support what he is doing...
Even though the Freak Show has come to town.
Oh my, E. P. - you made my afternoon. Still laughing here. Well done...
ReplyDeleteEvi - good eye noticing that Titus and Meade have the same avatar.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame I can't not respond to that mess, so I better just stay away.
Inga is up to her old tricks - answering her own comments. By their tics shall we know them.
I don't know much about Lem, but it's certainly been lively over there.

ReplyDeleteMeade July 14, 2013 at 1:08 PM
It bad advice made in bad faith.
To avoid cluttering Lem's place with responses I will respond to you all here: Titus, you were funnier as an OTT gay dude than as Meade. Or is the reverse and Meade like to get his Jack Cassidy on and walk on the wild side? Although it is reported Cassidy was quite endowed which I suspect is not the case for Meadey (not much there, hence the reason Althouse is getting cranky).
Is that why they called him "Butch"?
ReplyDeleteSince the traffic at TOP has dropped off and they probably only have a few people emailing them, I imagine that Meade doesn't have much to do with his life now. Also he probably needs to give A a wide berth for now.
ReplyDeleteAnd not really related, but sort of I uploaded this photo from Reddit and it really made me laugh
Sleeping Areas Hope it is big enough to read the text.
He was popular with the dudes...
ReplyDeleteBut he wasn't gay.
He just showed up to bed with Shirley Jones in a negligee and high heels on their honeymoon. You would think that he would save that revelation for at least a few months after they were married.
Oh he also used to take care of Cole Porter.
This has to be Titus...
ReplyDeleteStill sort of funny he is sock-puppeting Meadey.
Wow, Roger J is absolutely pwning Meade at Lem's.
ReplyDeleteGarryowen, you magnificent bastard, I read your comments!
That stupid fuck Meade said this to Roger J:
ReplyDeleteMore advice: look up the word minion.
Well, here's Definition1 of minion:
a servile dependent, follower, or underling
which is precisely what Roger J objected to.
What a fucking dick.
Why did you guys ever like him back in the day?
Well he was different before he got married.
ReplyDeleteI guess reenacting David Gests life did not work out for him.
Sad really.
I think he is really losing it.
ReplyDeleteI mean really.
He just stated that Cedarford is not a bigot and that Crack is not a Negro.
I think he has gone off the deep end.
Maybe he's auditioning for the edutcher role at Lem's.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I'd go crazy too if my nuts were in a glass jar on the mantle.
ReplyDeleteTroopers all--look--my difficulty with meade is that he comes onto another blog when he doesn't let comments on his own blog. That's what I referred to as "optics."
ReplyDeleteIf he chooses to defame Gen Abrams and all the professional serving officers under him--his business.
Its not worth a flame war--honestly I am totally in sympathy with NIck, our fellow commenter who lost his 14 year companion. Meade is an idiot--Nick has some real hurt going on.
As I said on another blog, my friend Madison Man told me when I put my precious dog down: "some day you will look into the eyes of another dog and find the one you lost." Great advice mad man
Roger I am sorry to hear about you losing your friend.
ReplyDeleteIt is always tough to lose such a loyal long term friend and companion.
That is why it is so hard to have pets. You miss them too much when they are gone.
It's like dealing with garagemahal...better to ignore than to engage.
ReplyDeleteI think Meade is making a major unforced error by revealing the guy I know from emails that he used to send me.
ReplyDeleteI think many people are going to have their eyes opened by his crazy over the top screeds.
What he said to Roger was just stupid. But hey that's the real Meade.
I wasn't referring to dogs. I've lost four big, happy dogs in twenty years, and know what that feels like.
ReplyDelete@ Spinelli and Roger: God's cruel trick on us. To give us pets to love and then give them such short life spans. Losing a pet is terrible and you grieve just as you do for any other beloved family member.
ReplyDeleteThe best tactic to take with Meade and Inga and such is to just ignore their comments. It's hard and I have already violated my own rule. Doh!
Damn, now I had to go and see for myself what Meade said about C4. So I skimmed a bunch of stuff at Lem's.
ReplyDeleteWTF??
But Meade says he had a bumper sticker once that said "Fight Racism", so I guess he must know what he's talkin' about.
Geez, I'm tryin' hard to follow TTB's solid advice and stay away from all that crap. But I can't stop clicking Evi's links.
It's pretty clear from just a couple of days of Lem's blogging why TOP went ass over teakettle.
(At first I wrote "off the rails", but changed it for MH's sake.)
He just stated that Cedarford is not a bigot and that Crack is not a Negro.
ReplyDeleteOkay, pretending that Crack isn't black is one thing, pretending that Cedarford isn't a bigot is another. It must just be a put-on to piss all over the refugees from the old commentariat.
Cedarford is a bigot. Change every time he said "Jews" to "gays" and see how AA and LM react.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't mean that Crack isn't black. He's just making some lame point about the word kneegrow.
ReplyDeleteProving only that Trooper's humor is utterly lost on him.
And Crack is Norwegian. Everyone knows that.
ReplyDeleteI posted a reply to an attack by Meade but it seems to have been eaten by blogger a couple of times.
ReplyDeleteThe format that Lem is using is starting to frustrate me. It is just not working.
To think that I was going to give this Meade/evil blogger lady thing a rest today.
ReplyDeleteMan it is such a shitstorm.
There's a time for going meade/evil on someone's ass, and a time for renaissance.
ReplyDelete#elpolloraylan
Sooo...the guy married to the blog hostess who now does not take comments calls someone else's blog a "private clubhouse"?
ReplyDeleteThe meltdown continues and expands.
Althouse is not a bully. She is gracious, considerate, and caring.
ReplyDeleteThe Manchurian Commenter.
Go back, scroll slowly through - there are some interesting comments in there.
ReplyDeleteDust Bunny: you have for almost 10 years been one of my favorite commenters--the hubby is one lucky man. I got wrapped up in one way street with Meade and just dropped it. But as far as I was concerned I don't much care if meade lives or dies--but I do really really care if Nick had to put Coco down. One of the things, IMO, that makes us human is that we care for kittens and puppies. And we know wheh we undertake the task it is going to be time limited--but if you make the lives of the least among us better, it, IMO, make us better--it still hurts in the last days--but I hope we did good.
ReplyDeleteTrooper--my apologies for throwing gas on the fire--it wasn't intended--I just thought it was stupid to make comments on a blog when the commenter doesn't allow comments on his own blog. But his gratiutious swipe about minions--and these minions are serving officers and NCOs who have done more than the commenter has ever done. really pissed me off. Meade is fucking ass.
ReplyDeletePets, don't get me started. I lost a cat last year, a friend's cat got killed by a dog, and I had to bury those two.
ReplyDeleteI lost a beloved 14 year old dog 5 years ago, but that allowed my new Border Collie puppy to come into my life. She is so full of boundless energy that just seeing her bounce into the room gladdens my heart.
My other dog is now 12, and like me, is gray around the muzzle, hard of hearing and likes to sleep. As I have written here before I should have named him Fido - he is always faithful, and I appreciate every day we have together.
Okay, enough about that. Pets good, but dang it, they leave us too soon.
The format that Lem is using is starting to frustrate me. It is just not working.
ReplyDeleteThe nested comments are nice - as long as you don't get too many comments. Have you hit the "Load More" button at the bottom? You might find that you comment posted every time. Or not. Blogger HAS been eating comments lately.
Sixty grit--you are a brave man--border collies are the most intelligent dogs but also among the most labor intensive. Good luck with you girl--she will be a devoted pet.
ReplyDeleteWell it ate my comment linked to the post where Meade called me a bigot three times and I am not going to post it again.
ReplyDeleteIt's just not worth it.
Roger....Thank you very much. I appreciate the compliment.
ReplyDeleteI think that I'm the lucky one in my marriage My husband and I can argue about it, who is the luckiest :-)
When I hit the "Load more" it just spins and spins and nothing happens.
ReplyDeleteLike ice skating.
Or hockey.
Thanks Roger J - I had to learn a lot, fast, even though I had had dogs for years. Among the things I learned was that the Dog Whisperer was full of it when it comes to intelligent dogs - if you try to dominate a BC it will not end well. You have to be smarter than the dog in order to train her - would it be admitting too much for me to say that it was a close thing? ;^)
ReplyDeleteWe go for walks, she patrols the border of the property, and I allow her to herd me at feeding time - all in all, that seems to fulfill her need to work. She seems to like living here, and I think the world of her. It's a good arrangement.
She has an incredible vertical leap - can jump head high when she is standing still. I built my fence 5' tall just in case, but she has never shown any inclination to escape - that's a good thing. She could probably figure out how to operate the gate were she so inclined.

ReplyDeleteAs rhhardin pointed out, you have to click that little button several times--until it goes away.

ReplyDeleteIn that case Lem should probably get rid of nested comments. It's not bad if the comment threads don't get too long.
Troop, if you see madawaskan again, you should invite her into the club house.
ReplyDeleteNesting has advantages I use it because I want people to feel cozy like love birds. But it's no good for high volume comment sections.
ReplyDeleteI think the high volume is only a temporary thing for Lem. It was for me after a few days during a blog fight with the evil blogger lady.
ReplyDeleteMost of the comments are coming from just a few people including me, Meade and couple of youse guys.
Eventually he will go down to the 20 or 30 comment size and should be fine.
Nick lost his dog??
ReplyDeleteAww. :(
What did Meade say about Nick losing his dog?
(Am I too annoying asking for updates from things I miss all the time?? :) )
Something I posted over at Lem's place, because I want him to succeed and I think that he is really a sensitive soul....unlike myself:
ReplyDeleteFor crying out loud!
Lem posts a topic about Zimmerman and everyone decides to start picking scabs on old wounds.
Meade is here stirring the shit and trying to drive traffic back to Althouse. Doesn't he have anything better to do????
Anonymouses are dropping itty bitty turds everywhere. Personal vendettas and feuds are cropping up YET again. The same old crap that shit all over Althouse's blog. Lem is trying to run a nice place here people......take it OUTSIDE as they would say in my younger bar hopping days :-)
Come on people, we are better than this.....(in my best school marm voice). Or as my parents would say on one of our thousand mile car trips to me and my brother....."Don't make me stop this car and come back there!!"
You know you have a point DBQ.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to mess it up for Lem but I feel like I can't let Meade have free reign to shit all over me as he has done in those posts.
But maybe you are right. I have a busy week so maybe I should just let it slide.
I think I will just let Lem's blog alone for a while.
ReplyDeletePersonally I don't think it will be around all that long anyway. I wish him well but blogging everyday gets to be a chore.
Trust me I know how tough it really is and I don't think Lem wants to be bogged down with it.

ReplyDelete"Blogged down" should be its own verb.

It's a cult - but I agree.
Crack, thx for the link. I knew they were insufferable, but didn't know the rest of it.
ReplyDeleteTruest words on the internet:
there are so very few "rational" people in the San Francisco Bay Area.
