The massive spammed text does not include "*" and the only way this happens is if it's edited. That means, that he discarded the post and covered his tracks as best he could. There is no reason for leniency here.

Unless there is some other explanation?

I was carrying a large load of asterisks to the James Frazer museum, when suddenly I tripped over a rock in the road. And wouldn't you know it, one of the asterisks fell into my post.

I have terrible luck.

As Thinker's advocate, I would like to point out that other than accidentally discarding the post.. which he's very sorry for, he's contributed insightful and educational writings on African taboo rituals.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

This is lame. Bill'O is a buffoon/parody/group psychology experiment - but I was enjoying the responses in that thread. The comment spam and discard were not called for at all - See you in 2 weeks - or not - your choice. VideoSift is not Guantanamo - you don't need to set fire to the place to make an exit.

I talked to thinker, and I asked him why he did what he did, and he said he was bored and mad at people trolling this site. Which is no good reason, but he apologizes for discarding BillOreilly's post, anyway.

As much as I dislike Bill'O for his flippant comments and inability to engage in a thoughtful argument, and as new as i consider myself here, I still think that thinker, you were outta line.

You participated in one of the very things I dislike about Bill'O (real AND sift versions)
"CUT HIS MIC!!!" comes to mind. Then you act all high and mighty.

The real loss of people like that comes from their eventual realization that they have been leading inauthentic lives (in an Ebenezer Scrooge sorta way), and they're gonna try to bat your nose around to get you angry, because once you're angry they know how to handle you.

The answer is always a well thought out argument.

PS
anyone else think it was ironic that the previous post before the spam was "[locusts]"

swampgirl says...

Well, many of us were having a silly chat in the lounge late last night when I first noticed what he did.. Then we all tried get him to fix it before anyone saw it. Maybe he was just letting the fun he was having outta control eh? I'm sure he regrets it this morning.

Right Thinker?

Sometimes we all want to "SNAP" (We've all been there!)
My grade 4/7 teacher taught us "You can do anything you want, anytime you want to do it, as long as you are willing to deal with the consequences."

As long as Thinker deals, then he can stand behind his actions and his point is made. You made your point, now sit back and ride it out buddy!

Cheers!

haha. I need to quote exactly what thinker said to me this morning:

"I guess it was a bad idea, but at least they were talking about me instead of a troll."

The guy never fails to crack me up.

spoco2 says...

*sigh*... I was actually hoping to see if BillO had replied to that thread too... seeing as I had the last say on it, and had actually wanted to see if he'd have any retort.

So childish.

guessandcheck says...

Seriously, why are his comments causing a stir. He's been at it for a long, long time. Do we really take every little thing that seriously? BillO's not a troll, possibly a bad joke at times. CP420, now that's a troll. Come on sifters grow a funny bone and grow up a bit. Just look at his choice of avatars, priceless.

Reminds when the US impeached Clinton over getting a blow job. But didn't impeach Bush over illegally taking America to war.

Congress declares war, not presidents.


I said Illegally taking the nation to war. Cherry picking information and frightening the nation congress into an armed conflict while giving no air to alternative views from European intelligence agencies is about as illegal as you can get.

PS: Afghanistan OK, Iraq WTF?

NordlichReiter says...

ROFL THINKER! WHAT A WAY TO GO OUT.


THAT WAS VERY STYLISH OF YOU!

CAPS IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

<NO SARCASM HERE> I am very proud of thinker this day.


EDIT: I think about it now, and I did let the enzymes in my brain lead my finger to type the above statements. However it was remarkably enjoyable.
