Maybe you should change your name to “I’m Not Careful”.

Priceless. :)

The fact does remain though, that my original trackback was deleted.”

Nice half-hearted apology. “Oh it was late…my bad.” Maybe you should change your name to “I’m Not Careful”.

CR UVa- Seriously, I don’t care. About 90% of Virginia blog readers don’t care. I count you, Alton, Ward, Kilo, and the SWACers. Frame your sentences anyway you choose, your implications were clear. And you’re still a pompous ass for bring the whole “look in the mirror when you call someone names” point up. What is this middle school? “Takes one to know one?” You know CR UVa, you’re right. I am a pompous ass. It’s taken someone’s comment from a blog to tell me that…thank you (Tears run down my cheek).

The fact does remain though, that my original trackback was deleted.

*sigh*

Alton, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Your blog sent a trackback to my site. It got caught in my spam filter, as at least 3-4 comments do every week, and innumerable trackbacks and pingbacks do. Before I got my once-daily e-mailed report of blogspam, you tracked back again. As I said on your blog, I would have discovered your trackback soon enough and made it public. Any blogger who accepts comments has dealt with this problem.

I cannot understand favoring luny conspiracy theories over the simple, obvious realities of the world. As with your theory that I’d erased a half dozen comments yesterday, your theory that I deleted your trackback is equally wrong.

Making this all particularly crazy, your trackback is there. Nothing is missing. Nobody has been harmed. There is no wrong to be righted. The angry right of the Virginia blogosphere gets angrier and angrier every day. It’s got to be terrible for your blood pressure.

The fact does remain though, that my original trackback was deleted.

Now Kevin, I’ll ask you to reread my comment. I said they may call into question Virginia’s blogosphere. This is based solely on whether Alton was telling the truth or not. I simply wanted an answer to a question. You can read more into that if you want to, but I think you need to watch who you are calling a pompus ass. Sometimes the ones who fit that bill the best are those who accuse others of being so.

This is a part of a pattern than you and I have gone through for nearly a year now. You accuse me of something terrible, using strong words and harsh criticism. I point out to you that your accusation is false. You refuse to believe me. I provide undeniable evidence. You apologize. We’ve done this over and over and over again.

When you accuse me of something, I see it as an inevitable prelude to an apology. You don’t need to apologize here. Not only because you are clearly in the wrong and I am clearly in the right, but because because you have conditioned me to associate you accusing me of something with an apology; the accusation is the apology. And, thus, I accept your apology.

Mr. Foley et al, you might want to try looking at the correct post before ranting about people deleting comments.”

…and an apology might be in order Mr. Foley. Are you going senile? You can’t keep posts straight? I thought you were all about facts. This little incident SEVERELY puts into question your ability to get facts right. Your credibility in the “blogosphere” with your pithy comments has gone down the tubes.

And CR UVa, did you just say that the entire VA blogosphere has been called into question because of this thread when it’s apparent that nothing happened? You two are nothing more than pompous asses that need a reality check that this little “blog world” you live in, while emerging, is not an all encompassing lifestyle.

Mr. Foley et al, you might want to try looking at the correct post before ranting about people deleting comments.

I suppose your infamous spam trio deleted Mr. Brooks’ comments wherein he called me a “dick”? You really didn’t think you could get away with simply deleting them, did you? Carl saw them. I responded to one. Chris saw them. Many others saw them.

You have lost all credibility Waldo. This action merely proves it.

If I were you I would certainly invest in better spam software. If your lame explanation is to be believed, your’s allows post to appear for quite some time before it decides it’s spam and must be removed.
