The recent fun that John Surname and I have been enjoying over at A Western Heart continues unabated. Despite our Haloscan bans we still seem to be able to post inflammatory comments. Here’s one I prepared this morning (the comment’s since been deleted, of course.)

And here’s MK getting angry at John Surname for daring to, you know, comment on a blog.

what you and your boyfriends get up to at your blogs is your business, i really don’t care, because that’s all bottom-feeding fools like you can do, snipe and whine. Knock yourselves out, there. Oh and it’s not a threat moron, you keep posting crap, we’ll keep kicking it to the kerb.
MK

The whole stupid thing reminds me of an exchange I had with A Western Heart contributor KG at another blog in April ‘07. He done got sooky and tried to threaten me, failing dismally.

Wow! Another blog victory for [blogger's name deleted] and his merry band of brothers. Youse guys are, like, the best.

kg said, on April 11th, 2007 at 4:46 pm
yeah, and look what he left behind–he must have taken a dump while nobody was looking….

kg said, on April 11th, 2007 at 5:13 pm
heh! And Milton must be so proud to have The Editor as a resident. ;-)

Not a close neighbour of yours I hope, [blogger's name deleted]!

The Editor said, on April 11th, 2007 at 5:21 pm
I see what you’re doing there, kg. You’ve done a whois search on my IP address and casually mentioned the suburb that is registered to that IP address as a sort of attempt at low level intimidation.

kg said, on April 11th, 2007 at 5:38 pm
I did? It is?

One thing I can state categorically–I did NOT do a whois search on your IP address. It wasn’t necessary for me t

have a nice day. :-)

So how did you know he lived in Milton?

One thing I can state categorically–I did NOT do a whois search on your IP address. It wasn’t necessary for me to.

One thing that I can state categorically is that even a cursory read of my website would reveal that I do not live in Milton. Not even the same state.

Idiot.

(ps/- Any attempt to “reveal” any other of my personal details will only reveal you to be more of an idiot. They’re all on the net. Most on my own website. None are hidden.)

kg said, on April 11th, 2007 at 5:58 pm
well, there ya go–it couldn’t have been “an attenpt at low-level intimidation” then, could it?

kg said, on April 11th, 2007 at 6:06 pm
PKD–from “information recieved” as they say.
Said information was perhaps incomplete.

Those AWH boys really know how to show us dirty lefties what for, don’t they?

And by the way, here’s KG (right) defending the Australian coastline against marauding Muslims, poofs, lefties and feminists.

KG don

Over there! Muzzies!

UPDATE (5 Jan): KG wrote a piece at AWH this morning talking about internet censorship. I left this comment.

It was deleted, of course, and replaced with — gasp! — my name and email address. The former is quite well known, can be found by the most cursory Google, and even appears in a few places around this website. The latter is extremely well-hidden in the sidebar of this blog. Top effort at unmasking there, KG!

    As someone who has been kicked in the teeth and to the kerb* by MK and KG and co., I am finding this little episode highly amusing. Not much changes at AWH.

    Buggah. I meant to include this footnote:

    * As in, “banned by webmaster”.

  3. Friday 4 January 2008, 6:45 pm #The Editor

    We should form a support group for AWH “victims”.

    *laughs* Oh, mercy. Wherever did you get that picture? And why does he look like the loony I expected?

    Check out this zinger:

    “I’m such a thick moron, it’s amazing i can breathe, thank God i don’t need a brain for that. Email me with gay pics yo’all.
    random.brainwave@gmail.com

    The wit they display is astounding. The most disappointing part is I haven’t even been sent any gay porn yet!

    Update: Now…TWICE!

    No way. That photo can’t be right - I’d pegged KG as a lonely, frightened, angry 20-something who watched Iron Eagle so many times as a hairy-palmed teenager that he’s convinced himself he could fly a fighter jet - provided he had the right music on cassette, of course.

    Ant, I believe you’ve just described ‘MK’.

    I always figured KG was the woman from The Simpsons who throws cats at people.

    I’ve also suffered the devastating riposte (in lieu of debate) by having (gasp!) my email published. They’ve also used my details as a sock puppet before. Very sad.

    Wherever did you get that picture?

    From “information received” as they say, John.

  9. Sunday 6 January 2008, 3:18 pm #Ant Rogenous

    Okay, now it’s a convincing picture of KG.

    Wonder what happened to Mike Jericho, who started the site. I remember some heated arguments with the guy; but I don’t remember him being anything like The Two Acronyms.
