Jim Byrd doesn't like me

I thought you guys might like this. I didn't leave anything other than an anonymous message board sig on my comment on his "The Economic Illiteracy of Liberalism" blogspam and he tracked me down to send me this:

"Thank you for your constructive criticism on my article. I enjoy hearing from different levels of educated and intelligent readers. Some are more educated and some are more intelligent than others. But I enjoy them all.

Ordinarily I will post any comment that is offensive to the general public, but when a comment, such as yours, is offensive to the general intelligence of my readers, I usually don't publish it. Considering your grammar school command of sentence structure and the English language, I will consider your future comments when you pass Middle School English, but then, perhaps my writing is not something you should be reading without adult supervision. And good luck with Obama or Clinton, whichever one you are voting for."

Whois and and traced my IP to find me at my bN handle.

Any chance you saved your post so that we may judge whether or not likening it to grammar-school-level writing is warranted?

Its pretty funny - I mean I'm an e-nobody, what is he trying to prove?

waste301: Its pretty funny - I mean I'm an e-nobody, what is he trying to prove?

What RLC said. Any chance you could produce a copy of the offending post? It's pretty hard to judge otherwise.

Tracking someone's IP is pretty low, though. It's tantamount to stalking as far as I'm concerned.

His ePeen is bigger than your ePeen.

Yes! By all means. THIS^.

Oh he sent it with the email. I might have made some mistakes but I was just fucking with him so if I did go easy (and I had had a few drinks)

Here is the email entire:

Comment:
This is quite possibly the stupidest thing I have ever seen on the internet.

I will leave your preschoolers understanding of economics aside and just say: Please stop trying to use big words to make yourself sound smart. You are very bad at it, and you come off as a completely condescending ass.

Also, take a writing class at if you are going to publicly speak out on a blog like this. No one is going to take seriously someone who types such poorly constructed sentences as this:

"To be a working class citizen, is, according to liberals, a misfortunate existence of which no pride can be enjoyed because other’s financial fortunes are greater."

I think you are trying to say something like "According to liberals, working class citizens can take no pride in their unfortunate existence, because others enjoy greater financial success." This is an opinion based on complete speculation and must be based on some kind of mind reading ability - but you take my point. Reading your writing is like biting on tinfoil.

Also, just as a general rule, you might want to reconsider just labeling broad swaths of the population "liberals" or "economic illiterates." Most people hold a mixture of different views believe it or not. Making sweeping generalizations when trying to make an intelligent argument doesn't work very well. This might lend your nonsense a veneer of credibility - just my two cents on the matter.

I also really like this one:

"100 million people in the U.S. with incomes less than $70 thousand per year own oil company stock in one of the forms referenced above and are creating retirement wealth, thanks to the oil company’s record profits, yet their crusaders want to take away this gambit of a secure retirement without rolling the dice on Social Security."

This sentence states that oil company crusaders want to "take away a gambit of secure retirement" (?) without rolling the dice on social security. You see when you use the word "their" it refers to the last subject, which would be oil companies. This is first grade grammar.

This entire tirade of yours is full of similar stupidity, so please re-think using the web until you have solved these problems you have.

EDIT's are nothing anyone couldn't find, but there it is.

That post was extremely condescending. All he did was respond in kind. That has nothing to do with who's right or wrong, mind you, but if you can dish it out, you should be able to take it.

I still think it was wrong of him to track you to another site, though.

Are we talking about whiskey?

Hmmmm. I like what you said, minor mistakes aside. You *were* kinda asking for it, but he's a real douche to track to down with your IP just because you hurt his feelings.

OH yes, you hurt his feelings. Which is great. :D

I don't really know who he is aside from the article the other day, but I heartily endorse letters consisting of "go fuck yourself" and have thusly applied my +1 to it.

Did he end that last sentence with a preposition?

And why on earth did he capitalize Middle School?

Of course you do. You're fuckyou! :)

I wouldn't care what he said, I was just responding to his BS. Being condescending was kind of the point. Did you READ that horrible blog? I mean, he deleted the comment and then tracked me down to respond. *weirdo*

This Jim Byrd tard is obviously one of our bN conserva-trolls.

This is "Jim". Does it match up with anything on the bN photo album?

No it isn't. It's pretty much the same thing as caller id. If you don't want your address known use a proxy or other masking tools and especially don't use the same user name everywhere. It's part of why I don't use IRC that much.

finnley wren: Did he end that last sentence with a preposition?

Vee vill giff yoo a varnink dis one time for not capitahleyesink "Eart."

Yess, Eart.

I bought a pizza and I asked for fucking thin crust. ITS REGULAR CRUST. fucking retards. Never buy a pizza on Sunday.

yes this is on topic.

finnley wren: Did he end that last sentence with a preposition?

Because bN thinks he's an idiot?

flyingpig: Of course you do. You're fuckyou! :)

And you're a fat piece of meat from a Pink Floyd album.

OMG TONY STARK!

Don't worry, he's just Bizarro Jim Byrd.

reed solomon: OMG TONY STARK!

No, I'm pretty sure Tony Stark is the exact opposite of this guy.
Stark is rich, smart, attractive to women, etc.

fuckyou:
And you're a fat piece of meat from a Pink Floyd album.

I radiate cold shafts of broken glass.

/I was just listening to that song a minute ago too, huh

It's always embarrassing when someone like Jim Byrd tries to use fancy language and fails to do it correctly.

No wait; it's not embarrassing, it's funny.

Fucking horrible pizza.

smackem yackem: This Jim Byrd tard is obviously one of our bN conserva-trolls.

That photo just screams "home meth lab".

reed solomon: Fucking horrible pizza.

If you ordered "Pizza Hut", you deserve it.

Yeah, I know you're Canadian. Just saying.

Well. I sort of agree with your comment, but the tone was fairly condescending. It looks like he just matched your tone. It's hard not to respond to the writing style in the article, as it is excruciating. Tracking you by IP is actually what someone does when they are in danger of becoming fixated, however. he had a forum to address your comment.

finnley wren: Did he end that last sentence with a preposition?

It's Buffalo Bill's Wild West, where brave neocons forge a new language out of the virgin wilderness.

rocket lawn chair: If you ordered "Pizza Hut", you deserve it.

Nope. Not Dominos or Pizza Hut.

Whats disappointing is usually reasonably good. Sigh.

starling: That photo just screams "home meth lab".

I was thinking more like Deliverance.

The funny part is, he's most likely reading this or will read it and won't out himself. Hiya, jackass.

starling: It's Buffalo Bill's Wild West, where brave neocons forge a new language out of the virgin wilderness.

heh. I have to admit that i love to watch language change, predominantly because it drives the French crazy.

Looks a bit like the unholy crotch-dropping of Fess Parker (actor, 1960's serial Daniel Boone) and Fahd bin 'abdullah as-sa'ud.

Erk.

"Crotch-dropping": another term that needs to go away.

rocket lawn chair: "Crotch-dropping": another term that needs to go away.

I agree, and I think "snowflake" should probably go too. I agree that kids today are pampered and overindulged, but people should get a new fucking word for it already. It was clever and meaningful when Brad Pitt said it in Fight Club 9 years ago. Not so much anymore.

So that's where it came from. That movie is ok at best.

What would you prefer, mitosis monkey? Neoplasm nasty? Failed abortion?

mutilato: heh. I have to admit that i love to watch language change, predominantly because it drives the French crazy.

They do get a bit defensive, don't they? I'm all for language adapting and changing, but this guy is flat out abusing it:

The only thing that surpasses the abhorrent condescension of the economic snake oil the two Democrat mountebanks are selling and the dissimulating as gunslingers, hunters, champions of blue collar America, are the legions of economic illiterates who are begging to purchase said snake oil for the sake of change, yet simultaneously being void of any idea of what would change and to what.

There's the basis for a whole "English: What Not To Do" textbook in that one sentence, and yet he seems unaware of his own ineptitude.

Heh, I like muffin.

"Awwww, did I hurt you, muffin?"

xenotoxin: What would you prefer, mitosis monkey? Neoplasm nasty? Failed abortion?

You're so edgy.

smackem yackem:

I must watch that sometime.

smackem yackem:

I hope so. Maybe he'll sign up!

starling:
I hope so. Maybe he'll sign up!

if so, I hope he relaxes his grip on the keyboard a little and starts to make a little sense. It's like he jacked off a thesaurus and published the results.

mutilato: heh. I have to admit that i love to watch language change, predominantly because it drives the French crazy.

Well, as long as you have a good reason.

mutilato: if so, I hope he relaxes his grip on the keyboard a little and starts to make a little sense. It's like he jacked off a thesaurus and published the results.

That is an awesome phrase. I am stealing it.

anaxibios: Well, as long as you have a good reason.

It's the world's favorite reason.

mutilato: It's the world's favorite reason.

Just the US's, I'm afraid.

fuckyou: That is an awesome phrase. I am stealing it.

Sure. Just because I love the beautiful photographs Hegre takes of you. You were always my favorite Met Art model.

anaxibios: Just the US's, I'm afraid.

I lived in Africa. Annoying the French was like soccer. Some people did it for fun, a very small percentage did it for a career, and everyone wished they had more time to do it.

In erstwhile French colonies, I suppose? At least those people have a reason for it.

A good part of Africa is fakakta from the French. Sure Belgium, England, and Germany had a go, but French tears are a commodity.

As I said. People there have a reason for it, much like Indonesians detest the Dutch.

rocket lawn chair: Vee vill giff yoo a varnink dis one time for not capitahleyesink "Eart."

Yess, Eart.

As you might imagine, I went back and forth on it. In the end, I figured it was a colloquialism and therefore there was no need to capitalize. Perhaps defensible from either perspective, I suspect.

After all that I still don't know who Jimmy boy is and, damnit, now I want a pizza!

Do you know how hard it is to get a pizza this time Sunday night out here in the middle of nowhere? *Sigh*

oldfart: After all that I still don't know who Jimmy boy is and, damnit, now I want a pizza!

Count yourself lucky then. Better no pizza than crap.

I could be mistaken, but that is the only film in which Ned Beatty was the romantic lead.
