We Get Comments

It seems my recent post describing the facts about the Discount-Mats web site has attracted a couple new commenters. One is someone posting as "Dale." Dale says that he is "A US Troop." He says:

My office gets a kick out of reading (well I read, they laugh) your blogs. It's amazing what the internet has done for those with little backgound knowledge and wisdom.

This is why I fight bad guys on the web everyday, so folks like you can take up vaulable IP's...until we go to IPV6.

Good luck with your crusade against the dems, muslims and others you hate. Remember they can take your guns when they pry them from your cold dead fingers (At least I think that's what your bumper sticker on your f-150 says)


Well now, as Mister Rodgers would say, "Isn't that special?"

He claims that his office laughs while reading my "blogs [sic]." Now in that comment, he's not quite clear which posts he's talking about. For now, I'm going to assume he's a normal, sane, rational person -- in which case he's laughing at the llama joke and the AR Surgeon joke. Well that's good Dale, that's why I posted them, so that people would laugh. I'm glad to have not only lightened your day, but that of your whole office. Thanks for letting me know, really!

Next, Dale says that he fights bad guys on the web so I can have an IP. I'm going to assume, then, that Dale is a member of the mysterious "Men in Black Polka-Dots" -- a sooper-seekret shadow group that uses the internet to shock "bad" people and who protect and free IP addresses for The People. Excellent. Thank you, Dale, for putting the health of your fingers and wrists on the line every day so I can have one of the precious few 4 billion IP addresses available. -- well, at least until IPv6 when, apparently, Dale won't be needed to fight the "bad guys" on the web any more.

Next, he wishes me luck in my battle against evil. Why, thank you again, Dale! I wish you luck in your daily cyberbattles against "bad guys" on the web, too. Perhaps one day we will both be successful -- you get rid of the "bad guys" on the web and I'll try to get the freedom-haters out of America. It sure would be a nice place here, wouldn't it?

Then Dale goes all loopy on me. I really don't know what he's trying to say with

Remember they can take your guns when they pry them from your cold dead fingers (At least I think that's what your bumper sticker on your f-150 says)

Dale, I don't have an F-150. Sure, I wouldn't mind having one, as they are pretty strong and reliable vehicles that can really haul a good bit of stuff around, but I just don't have a need for one now. So I'm not really sure whose F-150 you were following around while reading their bumper sticker. Dale?

I would never put a bumper sticker on my truck. It couldn't have been mine.

2 Wow, my post has earned it's own private little section...I'm all giddy inside.

I tried to water down the computer "talk" for you so that you might grasp what I was saying...see IP's are NOT like the Never Ending Bread SticksŪ at Olive Garden, but I wander, let's get back to the wonderful blog you have so graced us with.

Yes, we do in fact laugh at your blogs, although I wish we had more time to scan through your blogs and uncover some deep dark secrets of eternal wisdom...alas, we don't have the time. So instead we (I) focus on your cute little blog about discount-mats.com.

Not so much as in to read what "dope" words of wisdom you wish provide, but to get a generally good laugh out of your stereotypes, misinformation and lack of knowledge.

As far as the F-150, yes it is a good truck and infact you can haul lots of good ole' stuff with it. You can carry tools to the farm, tow your Jimmy John Bass boat to the lake. Move your house form one lot to the other. Why hell, there are plenty of things the F150 is good for...why did I even associate the F150 with you? I'm sorry Ford.

Now I shall get back to protecting the free internet from bad guys and terrorists...you may now blog, secure in the fact that I (Dale) have your E-back.


Posted by: Dale at January 31, 2007 07:49 PM (G7Dx2)

3 I always find it interesting when people argue with me while they're agreeing. I specifically mentioned the actual limit of IPs, but you complain that I agree that IPs are limited. That's a pure example of someone who wants to argue just to argue, never mind the facts. Thanks for pointing that out to my readers.

You apologize to Ford for having a good truck? Again, arguing just to argue, rather than based on reality. Sorry you don't like reality.

And thanks again for protecting the internet. I'm sure that if you were not on the job, the entire internet would go down. Are you related to algore, by chance?

Posted by: Ogre at January 31, 2007 09:05 PM (oifEm)

4 why ogre, i think you have an admirer... though it looks like he doesn't have the stones to actually post a link to his own site...

as for the ip addresses, yeah they are limited... thats why i bought 50 of them... that way i can sell em at auction when they get scarce...

and as for the truck... i think he's trying to imply some sort of redneck connections there... which he would clearly see was inaccurate if you'd just back your truck off the hood of his priius and call off your huntin dawgs

/sarcasm off

Posted by: chris at January 31, 2007 09:23 PM (rBjHa)

5 I don't know if I would haul a house (even a trailer house) with an F-150....maybe, MAYBE a single wide but not too far.....

Posted by: kender at January 31, 2007 10:29 PM (PkJ5o)

6 Hey!

Is this guy dissing F-150's??????

Name the place and time fellow, nobody disses the F-150, nobody!

Posted by: Quality Weenie at January 31, 2007 10:32 PM (BksWB)

7 I'm not sure, but I think he's trying to say all hundreds of millions of F-150 owners are stupid. I could be wrong.

And Chris, be careful! This Dale may come and take your IPs back if he thinks that you're a terrorist who took them and that other people should have them.

Posted by: Ogre at January 31, 2007 10:56 PM (pHUVv)

8 Oh, and Kender? I agree. If you're going to be hauling houses, I'd jump right to the 350 myself.

Posted by: Ogre at January 31, 2007 10:56 PM (pHUVv)

9 well if "Dale" does come for my IPs he better bring Chip along, cus I've got some mighty big nuts for em

Posted by: chris at January 31, 2007 11:00 PM (rBjHa)

10 Dale? Do you like nuts?

Posted by: Ogre at January 31, 2007 11:37 PM (pHUVv)

11 I got one for Dale!! I'm a five foot four inch girl who drives an F350 extended cab pickup with a Power Stroke.

I aspire to be as smart and witty as Dale. Um Dale, if that is your real name, don't you know better than to pick on Ogres?

You are probably a llama aren't you?

Posted by: Oddybobo at February 01, 2007 02:01 PM (mZfwW)

12 It would seem reading comp evades most of you.

At what point did I "diss" the F-150? It's not my cup of tea, If I were to own a pickup truck it would be a S/C Ford Lightning with a 10psi pulley, 4:10's and 75 shot of juicy juice rolling on 18x10 Roto slipstreams. (wanna talk cars)

My website? I don't have a website, thus no link to website, see how that works. Does MySpace count as a website? You do upload HTML, so I guess that would sort of count as a website. DalesGSXR is my MY SPACE dot COM address. Feel free to stop by and say hi.

I don't get the LLAMA reference ODDYBOBO, like I said I only check out the Discount-mats thread and this one because it is about me and I love things about me. I'm so glad you are 5'4" Girl that drives an F350. Is that something to brag about are you just stating you list of vehicles in your garage....if so...I'm 5'11 and I drive a 01 C5, it's not much for hauling or "goin muddin" but it goes really fast. I could mention my "sport Bike", but again you can't haul anything in that, although it does have a nice little storage space in the tail section that you could put a can of Red Bull or maybe 1 pound of un-cut colombian gold. (it would be your choice)

Enough playing "What's in my Garage"....

Ogre, I'll agree with you when you are right, otherwise I will continue to argue for the sake of arguing. So far you have been right about the F-150 and IP's, I guess sub-nets will be next.

Good luck today, I hear through the Gr apevine that Vista has a "big Brother" feature, maybe you should blog about that too. It may be connected to the Muslim terrorists that are plotting to overthrow the US and take over the world...I'm already picking out my prayer mat and looking east!

Posted by: Dale at February 01, 2007 02:58 PM (G7Dx2)

13 Good thing you're willing to submit to the terrorists, Dale, that will make you their friend. Me, I'm sorry, but I would rather be free.

My garage is mostly full of tools and crap.

Posted by: Ogre at February 01, 2007 03:53 PM (pHUVv)

14 Of course you didn't get the llama reference Dale. Oh, and Dale if you want a list of things in my garage, we need a week. Several vehicles, two quads, some sled-ridding equipment, tools, things that go boom! (Fireworks) and probably things left over from a garage sale.

Now that the personal stuff is out of the way, I'm bored with you.

Posted by: Oddybobo at February 01, 2007 06:16 PM (mZfwW)

15 I bet Oddy's garage is mined, too.

Posted by: Ogre at February 01, 2007 07:15 PM (pHUVv)

16 "My website? I don't have a website"

Perhaps that explains why Mr. Dale Web-Savvier-Than-Thou doesn't know the difference between a blog and an entry on a blog...

Posted by: McGehee at February 02, 2007 01:38 PM (lAOTn)

17 I guess he's too busy retrieving stolen IPs from terrorists.

Posted by: Ogre at February 02, 2007 01:58 PM (oifEm)

18 McGehee....your right. I wish I had the smarts to differentiate between Blogs and Blog enteries...thank you so much for your enlightenment. I feel whole now.

You have an F350 and some quads...why does this not suprise me? I'll bet you have a sweet gun rack and a whole set of cammo uniforms....I'll even step out on a limb and says at one point you have bought cammo because you thought it looked cute.
We could play who's got more stuff, but you would loose....and I would still be too cool for school.

Wow..."I'm deap in the heart of them now oh lord" Anyone seen the movie Southern Comfort? I feel that I'm conversing with all the extras right now. When this page loads I swear I hear Dueling Banjos playing in the background.
Drrr da Drrr drrr drr drr drr drr drrrrr!

Posted by: Dale at February 02, 2007 02:59 PM (G7Dx2)

19 So what are you trying to say, Dale?

Posted by: Ogre at February 02, 2007 03:55 PM (oifEm)

20 I do believe that Dale is trying to tell me that my Ivy League ass is a down south hillbilly. No offense of course to my dear friends from the south.

Sorry to disappoint Dale. Me and my genius level I.Q. live in the Northern Wilds. Oh, and my Ivy League education and subsequent degree tell me that while engaging you further would be comical, it would also be fruitless.

But to satisfy you, my F350, while looking mighty purty, hauls gear and quads to and from events. Often, it hauls several fireman and their children. Sometimes it even hauls dirt for my flower beds. I do not have a gun rack - I have a nice rack, but not a gun rack. And you did not just diss Dueling Banjos!

Ogre, please tell me, was I wrong to think I look cute in cammo? Does this sidearm make me look fat? ;-)

Posted by: Oddybobo at February 02, 2007 06:28 PM (mZfwW)

21 I think the sidearm is very slimming, Oddy.

Posted by: Ogre at February 02, 2007 11:08 PM (pHUVv)

22 Ooh, now dis me, Dale. I own a Bronco and wear cowboy boots and a Stetson cowboy hat. And I even own a gun and am a life member of the NRA.

Of course, I also have two college degrees and have read Capital by Karl Marx and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. True, I skipped John Galt's three-hour radio speech but that's only because there were no car chases.

Posted by: McGehee at February 03, 2007 12:42 PM (lAOTn)

23 Oh, and one more thing: Dale, Google "International Mensa." I don't belong anymore because the American organization endorsed Bill Clinton in 1992. Geniuses can be so stupid sometimes.

Posted by: McGehee at February 03, 2007 12:45 PM (lAOTn)

24 Ok....lets start from the start.

Oddybobo- You haven't disappointed me, not in the slightest. I hadn't set any high expectations for you in the first place, so no let-down here. As far as the hauling and the pulling and the moving...hmmm well..."You go girl" Just in case you are wondering, you don't have to live down south to be a hillbilly...hell, I knew plenty of redneck/hillbillies while I did a stint at stratcom...and believe me, Omaha has very few hills. Also, why do you people read so much into replies, I don't think I "disssed" Dueling Banjos...hell I've been know to break out the Fender and throw down some ole' Cannonball Rag or classic Doc Watson, although I do it with all my teeth in place and NOT married to my thrid cousin.

McGehee- Do you own a Bronco or a Bronco II...I ask because that will determine your level of "dis". You wear cowboy boots and a Stetson...so what do you want? If you are offering up fashion tips I'll pass, I like my look, but thanks anyway. You have a gun and are a Lifetime NRA memeber. Well aren't you the envy of everyone in Paradise Acres Trailer Lot and Pawn Shop (I'm guessing that's where you live, although I have no basis for this assumption I'll make it anyway).
You have two (2) College degrees? You say this why, to impress me? The Bronco claim was more impressive than someone saying they have 2,4 or even 8 degrees...Hell the way they shuffle kids through college these days I would be suprised to find few people who have NO degree.
I would GOOGLE "international Mensa" but right now I'm to busy using my search engine to find prices on used Ford Broncos. If you have one, so must I (it's the little kid in me). I'll let you know about Mensa thing right after I get done with my vehicle search.

Ogre- Have you cleared out those damn Muslims yet? I swear my vette was running rich this weekend and zI'm sure it had to do with the terrorists, or maybe Chavez is putting something in the gas. Maybe we should invade them next, at least the weather would be better than Iraq.

Posted by: Dale at February 05, 2007 02:31 PM (G7Dx2)

25 Thanks for clearly illustrating your clear bias, hatred, and stupidity for all to see, Dale. Thanks for making my point for me.

Posted by: Ogre at February 05, 2007 02:37 PM (oifEm)

26 Show me the hate? You like to post things with no basis. I have hated on no one. I have stated my opinions on the ignorance of your readers/blogers...but I don't hate any of them. I pity those who don't know better, like you, but I still don't hate you.

Posted by: Dale at February 05, 2007 04:03 PM (G7Dx2)

27 Dale, do you know what we drivers of fullsize Broncos call those Bronco "II" things? Spares. I think I have one or two bolted to the undercarriage of my Bronco, in case of breakdown in a mall parking lot (wouldn't be any use off-road, but may be able to deal with speed bumps, if properly scouted beforehand).

And I notice you didn't say anything about my having read both Marx and Rand. Were the authors' names too long for you?

Posted by: McGehee at February 05, 2007 06:03 PM (lAOTn)

28 Of course. It's only hate if you say it's hate. Please do provide us with your own personal dictionary written by Dale for the world. Let us all know how life is in DaleLand. We understand completely.

Posted by: Ogre at February 05, 2007 08:36 PM (oifEm)

29 McGehee- I agree, I wouldn't wish a Bronco II on my worst enemy or even Ogre. Those along with the replacing the 302 with the 281 in the Mustang are Fords biggest mistakes, that and the Mustang 4 cyl....not the 2.3T but the straight 4 banger.
Marx and Rand????? Did any of those have pictures? If not it probably skipped my entry in my Book of the month club for dummies. (I'm still thumbing my way through Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maint.)

Orge- I know you are but what am I...that's the only thing you seem to post....I want, by your meaning, not mine, where my hatered shows....I love most everyone, so more literal than others...I hate ignorance, racism and Hondas that think they are race cars (another car thing...I love cars...and motorcycles...check my My Space)

Posted by: Dale at February 05, 2007 09:37 PM (G7Dx2)

30 OOO, he has a MySpace page. Isn't that where adults prey upon teens? I digress . . .

I didn't disappoint you because you had no expectations of me? Yet it is ok for you to heckle me or imply that I'm an ignorant fool because I read Ogre, a very good friend of mine? Dale, you are the ignorant fool.

I have two advanced degrees, I am a volunteer fire fighter, I am a minority, I am a woman, I am independent, intelligent and also quite wealthy (on paper at least). I raise a family, I have a farm, I love my dog and I am not married to anyone who is remotely related to me, nor have I recently fallen off a turnip truck. I have worked hard my entire life and refuse to allow people like you to belittle my accomplishments in any way.

You came here, to this fine blog and insulted its author and its readers. You came here with your inability to spell and your abnormal attachments to vehicles and you implied that we were less intelligent than you because of the views espoused here. Yet, you have no views of your own. You have not proven a point, nor even made a point. We have indulged your ignorance, well, because we could.

I would consider a debate with you, but you have nothing to debate - except the relative value of a Honda motorcycle over some other brand. My personal favorite is Victory. I digress again . . .

Ogre, since I'm the 30th commenter can I get a prize? I know *close comments* so we don't have to read anymore dale-drivel. Sorry, I couldn't resist engaging once again . . . Bad-Oddy.

Posted by: Oddybobo at February 05, 2007 10:05 PM (mZfwW)

31 Hehe Oddy. You know what happens when you feed the trolls...

Posted by: Ogre at February 05, 2007 10:21 PM (kft0e)

32 You Americans, your so nieve, we live in your counrty for free, laugh at you every day. while you work to support us while we pray.
Keep working hard you Americans.

Posted by: Akbarjr at February 06, 2007 12:35 PM (tIyxL)

33 Thanks for copying and pasting that from another thread, Akbarjr, but we heard you being stupid the first time.

Posted by: Ogre at February 06, 2007 12:39 PM (oifEm)

34 Oddybobo- Yes I have a myspace, I'm not sure if it's the place adults use to prey on teens or people use to keep in contact with friends...you use it how you want and so will I.
Let me get this straight, you're a minority, a woman and independent. You are wealthy (on paper), and you raise a family...did I cover everything? Well good for you, I'm sure that impresses you and about 2 other people. Your ablity to E-argue is horrid. I wasn't trying to make you look like a fool, sorry if you came off like one. You stated you owned a F350 and some 4-wheelers, I made an observation, true or not, you seem to have taken it to heart.
As for my spelling, well as some of Orge's followers have stated "This is a blog" and like any good E-thug, once I get going I sometimes forget to proof read my work, with no edit function I may fat-finger a key now and then...sorry dear.
My original arrival was to mock Ogres thread on discount-mats, I strolled (or Trolled) over here and noticed I had obtained my own little section. As I stated, I love to see things about me and couldn't resist joining in.
I'm sorry if you are unable or willing to put up a fight to defend your posts or friend (orge), he is a racist and a hate monger. He hides his hate under a thin blanket of patriotism. Anyone with 1/3 a brain can see through his actions. I just noticed I was using HIM and HE, if Ogre is a chic I'm sorry.

Ogre- Not once have you been able to put up a decent arguement for your actions or thoughts, you are what we ike to call in my line of work a "Copy and Paste" Guru. Unable to muster enough brainpower to create your own thoughts you reply on others and through the magic of the internet you...copy and paste... "your" opinions for all to see.

Akbarjr- That was such a weak attempt to make Muslims look bad I won't even respond to who ever has this Alternate persona. (#1 rule in E-thugging is to create a trust first then start the E-fights...I guess that was a response, but that's as far as I will go.

Posted by: Dale at February 06, 2007 03:11 PM (G7Dx2)

35 Ogre?? You are a racist? You are sooo not getting pie! *rolls eyes*

My "ability to E-argue is horrid" good thing they pay me the big bucks to argue in person. *snicker*

Dale bores me, with his *lather, rinse, repeat* statements. That's what I get for feeding the trolls *picks up ball and goes to new court* - *make that real court . . . I've got a hearing at 3*

Posted by: Oddybobo at February 06, 2007 03:40 PM (mZfwW)

36 Oh, Oddy, you don't want to play in DaleLand? I'm sure it's a nice place to live...if you're Dale. But sorry, reality isn't invited.

Posted by: Ogre at February 06, 2007 03:56 PM (oifEm)

37 Oddybobo- If someone is paying you to argue you had best offer refunds. I agree, the "regulars" on this blog bore me, nothing you post has any value added. I shale move on to bigger pastures with less pasture pies.

Orge- You should come to Daleland, it's a great place, we don't make desisions based on religion or race, we don't just "copy and paste" our thoughts and we all like a good cold Fat Tire before lunch.

Have fun!

Posted by: Dale at February 06, 2007 04:46 PM (G7Dx2)

38 Opps I said Shale when I meant to type SHALL...sorry.






Don't know if you can upload user HTML to your blog...if not sorry!
That's me^

Posted by: Dale at February 06, 2007 04:52 PM (G7Dx2)

39 Guess not!

Posted by: Dale at February 06, 2007 04:53 PM (G7Dx2)

40 Opps, someone knows everything, Akbar is a christian Arab. Dale is so smart.

Posted by: Akbarjr at February 07, 2007 11:48 AM (Zwsx5)

41 Oh my GOODNESS, what IS this debate all about? Is it really a debate? In all earnesty, debating without a clear point in mind really is rather foolish.
What is the point in mind here? Is it freedom and the debate over what entails freedom or is it truly an attempt at slaying your "opposition" because you disagree with his opinions... slaying him with... all kinds of generalised and stereo-typical terms? What a crazy contradiction.

In reading these comments I've come to some thoughts, based partly on our current world situation and our desire for freedom. I'll fire away.
Maybe I have no right to be here; I am not American but an Australian, however the whole discussion on freedom as well as the situation in Iraq is as much our country's situations as anyone else's.
There are a lot of things that don't make sense to us here in the West as we watch the world's events. We have all lost people we love to senseless acts, however we are not alone. Unfortunately we must conclude that many of "them" have also for reasons they don't understand.

I also watch the way we treat one another in our own countries, our intollerances for each other's point of views, our lack of curtesy (as partly shown by some of the comments I have read here) and then I see our bafflement over why "those" people seem to hate us so much. Wh ywould people respect others who can't even respect themselves let alone show respect for others?
We take our anguish out on individuals with whom we've never been in contact before because they identify themselves with a particular religion we don't agree with.
What happened to the basis of our "Christian" founding, or have we strayed so far? Or is it that we never had things in order in the first place?
I can't help but hear the voice which has been resounding in my head louder and louder of late... the voice of Jesus who said "If they hated me, why do you expect them not to hate you? Is a servant greater than their master?"
that is, a man who loved and gave his life for people... anyone of any religion can take that in.

All I really can do is live a life I know is just and free of hate. In doing so it is not guaranteed I will not be hated, but at least I can be infectious with my earnesty to those who will respond.
Let's not make "us" and "them" calls as this world situation gets worse... either internationally... or between ourselves.

That's what I was thinking. I shall now dismount my soapbox.

Posted by: Meili at March 20, 2007 07:41 AM (RNiBn)

42 Meili, thanks for stopping by.

The point was for me to attempt to determine what this commenter was trying to say to me. I was just trying to find out his point of view and to clarify what he had said to me.

As for there not be an "us and them," as you pointed out -- Jesus said that any who follow him will be hated because of him. He didn't say to cave in and collapse to any religion.
