"Mommy, she used the J-word!"
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, June 30 2013 @ 08:41 AM EDT
Trying to detract from well thought out positions by acting
offended by wording is the worst troll tactic I've ever seen.
You're either a failure as a shill or a troll. Go find
something you're good at.

"Mommy, she used the J-word!"

You need to leave Groklaw and never come back,
then, if that bothers you. It's geek humor,
very widely used to mean something so particular
I probably will use it again, and I've used it
before. IIRC, we used it when SCO claimed the
GPL violated the US Constitution.

The connotation is that something is stupid,
said in a way that is so over the top, it's
ridiculous. Like your comment, for example.

I have zero interest in political correctness.
I believe it limits the brain to have to constantly
think about who might not like what you say, and
I hate its effect, the mob mentality that makes
people imagine they can restrict other people's
speech. That doesn't mean that I don't try
to avoid major offense, but it does mean that
when you write for the Internet, you write for
the whole world, and truly, if you worried about
how everyone in the whole world feels, you
can't write at all. I imagine in some parts of
the world, for example, it is offensive for a
women to write a blog at all.

So go away if it bothers you. But just between
you and me, I think you are a liar and just
pretending because you are trolling,
and that offends *my* sensibilities, so you'd
best stop it.

: )

Actually, I mean it. If you don't, I'll block you.
Final warning. Incidentally, I note you are in
Utah, or are pretending to be. If you continue,
I'll let your ISP know you are trolling my
site in contradiction to our comments policy,
which means you are trespassing.

That is more than offensive. It's illegal, even
for SCO trolls.
