Possibly one of the best anti-GrodsCorp posts EVER! “Rebellion” over at rumcorps.net has let loose and packed an amazing number of insults into the one article. GrodsCorp and its readers were called “window lickers” not once, but twice. Well, actually, we were called “window lickers” once and “wondow (sic) lickers” the other time. There are dozens of spelling mistakes so he was obviously soooo angry he forgot to proof read. Please do check out these highlights.

The kindergarten over at Grodscorp seems displeased with me. Bugger, just where will I hang my head in shame?? And now for your entertainment purposes, here is a sample of the love in that is Grodscorp.

[…]

OK, I realise these people are certifiably insane, but WTF are you talking about. Please step away from the medicine cabinet and resume licking your windows.

[…]

Obviously a spokesperson for Tolerance and Compassion in our community, hoping for my early death. Oh these people are just insane. Wah, tell the truth, you are a 13 year old girl who has a crush on the cool guy who is all sensitive and caring and everyfink aren’t you? And you think if you can yell as loudly as you can all this crazy shit, he may realise just what a sensitive soul beats within your ugly ugly frame. And your two can be so so so happy together. Oh it would be beautiful if it weren’t just so utterly pathetic.

[…]

Hey, AV’s back. This is the infant who called me a nazi up above. Hi precious, welcome back. How was your kindy nap? Have you had your milk?

Tezza here is a hoot. I can absolutely guarantee that terribly sensitive Terry would be absolutely mortified if I were to say the same about the retards on Grodscorp. Terry wouldn’t be able to sleep at night were I to mention to the world that the barely functioning synapses in the multitude of groupthink that invades Grodscum earn their paltry living testing dog food and licking wondows. Were I to say that the image of Ralph Wiggum from the Simpsons is a testament to the enduring psycology of those who infest as the denizens of Grodscum, Tupperware Head Terry, would be ashamed, mortified, disgusted by my lack of empathy, feeling and compassion. Well it is just lucky that I am far too dignified to say such mean and nasty things.

Brilliant stuff, and straight to the pool room.

Wow. Retarded.

I smell burning pants, KG.

oh man, I was just thinking I should write a comment sledging Grods just so you could stock the pool room with it…no need, no need.

You know, it’s kind of sad really. All this talk of “collectivists” and “group think”, yet no examples. Simple agreement isn’t group think (not that I’ve seen a great uniformity in the nuance of opinion here as to qualify any kind of orthodoxy). The test for group think is the passage and acceptance of a fallacy.

We’ve seen hasty induction circulate through the Blair-Bolt reciprocal auto-plagiarism machine and we’ve seen (thanks to Jeremy) a whopping great shared cognitive blind spot to the fallacy of the undistributed middle (with occasional novel absurd cognitive backflip).

That’s what group think looks like. To be honest, I really do think it sad that learning can be impaired (or rather outright halted) by shared prejudice, although I have little tolerance for people who clearly have the opportunity to do better. They all have access to a wealth of information and (despite the ludicrous conspiracy theories) it’s not like anyone is steering them from their own private research/thoughts into these things.

They aren’t kids who don’t no better or adults who never had the chance. They had and still have a choice between mendacity and meme or a kind of Kantian enlightenment.

They chose to engage in idiocy and it is only their fault. For them to whine over ridicule after choosing to be ridiculous is trite. The only valid complaint they may have against Grods paying attention to them is on the basis of their own significance (although the state of their respective human conditions and/or mental health are perhaps significantly unhealthy to warrant comment - that later preferably in confidence between them and a medical professional).

I reckon there’s only so much you can gain, either for comedy or intellectually, from a clearly un-self-critical and un-productive community of un-thinkers, before the yuks get repetitive (seriously, what new, original material do these people give you to work with?) and the (somewhat uniform) behavior predictable.

I guess I’m just getting a bit bored with coverage of un-reasoning net-nasties of late (perhaps it’s just a phase I’m going through).

I will say one thing though about their use of the word “tolerance” though, because it’s not just the rabid cult mentality of far-right bloggers that is spewing this meme out.

There aren’t many absolutists on the progressive side of politics these days, so expecting them to be categorical about tolerance is just plain ludicrous.

Also, in light of the fact that a lot of progressives recognise the conflict of rights, and that apparent paradoxes (like intolerance of tolerance) are likely. A thinking, secular-progressive, liberal-democrat is highly unlikely to tolerate a policy that gives citizens the liberty to deprive liberty (e.g. Murder) just because it seems like a paradox and this doesn’t make them a hypocrite.

Claiming that “Leftists” are somehow uniformly or in large part hypocrites for not tolerating intolerance (by mocking or criticising it) is just flat out stupid.

What they really mean, but are unlikely to confess to, is that over in the cuckoo-clock world they come from (and even in to more mainstream world of the journos that they uncritically follow), criticising racism and bigotry is wrong on the grounds that such criticism is not politically correct.

Rant ends. ;-)

That’s possibly the most intelligent thing that’s ever been written on GrodsCorp. My only criticism is that you should’ve put a Fleshlight joke in there.

Quick, get Craig.

Ummmm…. Nah… Can’t do it. I’m great at streams of the unintentional double entendre, but I’m completely at a loss trying to hit a nerve with fake vaginas.

I called him a Nazi?

what about a “chinese finger cuffs” variant of the fleshlight?
That’d take some explaining down the old emergency room huh?

See how he turned Grodscom into Grodscum?

Wordplay like that just does not happen. It takes years of training.

I suspect he’s gone through at least three montages involved around skill development.

Rather than debate the points I made dismissing that stupid poem, this is what he said about me - I must confess I did wish death upon him and his kind.

Obviously a spokesperson for Tolerance and Compassion in our community, hoping for my early death. Oh these people are just insane. Wah, tell the truth, you are a 13 year old girl who has a crush on the cool guy who is all sensitive and caring and everyfink aren’t you?

Oh it would be beautiful if it weren’t just so utterly pathetic.

Oooooooooooooooooooo kay!

Holy crap, my response to Rebellion was blocked because it had the word “fuck” in it.
So you can publish highly racist content and not fuck?
Fuck!
John Surname (Friday 15 February 2008, 11:12 pm) #

Fuck that!
Magic Bellybutton (Friday 15 February 2008, 11:14 pm) #

I’ve licked many things in my life but never a “wondow”. Where can I get one? Do they taste like windows but a little more well-rounded?
Dave from Albury (Friday 15 February 2008, 11:17 pm) #

This type of stuff makes me sad. All I can summon up on my sad little blog is a single parliament house staffer calling me infantile, while grods manages to piss off every wingnut in the country.

Must try harder.

This shocks you? I suspect that they have been not fucking for quite a while, and if they did fuck a bit more, that they wouldn’t be uptight and angry enough to publish such highly racist content. ;-)
Bron (Saturday 16 February 2008, 12:13 am) #

HAHAHA. That was great. But I am extremely displeased that I don’t rate a mention. Still, I’m a “n00b” so I’ll have to try harder.

Wondows. That’s typo-ing at its best.

Anyway, I’m going back to the medicine cabinet now. My tongue is sore from all that licking.
krypto (Saturday 16 February 2008, 1:03 am) #

no way, licking them made my windows come up a treat, I wish I had thought of licking them earlier.
Terry Wright (Saturday 16 February 2008, 2:00 am) #

I don’t think I have ever pissed someone off that much before … well to the point of misspelling everything. Jeez, And if I had known Rebellion was so sensitive about his sausage, I would have not mentioned it. I better write a long ’sorry’ post.

Also what the hell is a ‘window licker’? Whatever it is, it is very, very insulting … A Window Licker - OUCH!

And finally, I just called him a sausage puller, insignificant and and that his blog sucked … it’s a bit unfair stooping so low to call me ‘Tupperware Head Terry’.

Oh, those zany racists.

I had trouble reading that post. If there was a lefty version of Tim Blair kicking around the interwebs he would be tearing the poor bugger apart.

Dave, keep trying mate. I once stirred up Mike Jericho (completely by accident and without knowing what an uber-blogger he was) and he spent some time typing a big long comment on my piss-weak little Livejournal, complete with “by Mike Jericho” in the title.

Alas, today the best I can get is a “go and live in China” effort courtesy of the fucksticks on Bolt’s blog.

Youse guys all sound like a bunch of latte-sipping, strike-attending, wondow-licking lefties.
Damian (Saturday 16 February 2008, 9:02 am) #

Tupperwear-headed lefties at that.
Magic Bellybutton (Saturday 16 February 2008, 9:25 am) #

Latte-sipping, strike-attending, wondow-licking, VEGAN lefties.

Get it right or go home, Ed!
Terry Wright (Saturday 16 February 2008, 10:34 am) #

Damian, please stop.
I can live with ‘Latte-sipping, strike-attending, wondow-licking, VEGAN lefty.’ but ‘Tupperware Head’ is stooping as low as them.

BTW: Can someone please explain what a ‘Window Licker’ actually is?
The Editor (Saturday 16 February 2008, 10:38 am) #

A rather derogatory term, Terry. Which makes it all the more deliciously ironic that Rebellion can’t even spell it correctly.
Bruce (Saturday 16 February 2008, 2:11 pm) #

I can’t believe Aphex Twin didn’t get a mention in all of this. ;-)
Terry Wright (Saturday 16 February 2008, 3:45 pm) #

Thanks Ed.
Phew!!! I thought it was going to be worse than “Tupperware Head”.

I am still curious why he picked me out. There were plenty of people who snipped him & his farm of oddballs. I suppose I should be glad I got noticed. You gotta laugh.
Bron (Saturday 16 February 2008, 6:29 pm) #

I wouldn’t worry about it too much, Terry. He was just picking people at random by the looks of it, and you just got picked.

Stir him up a little more, if you can. ;-)
