Hey folks. I got a comment on my post “The Self-Righteous Front” this morning and I was going to list it as trash and move on, but it’s so angry and so filled with vitriol that I didn’t feel like I could deny you the honour of reading a real, old school internet flame.
So here’s the diatribe, unedited from “Mr. Freedom”. Oh, one more thing before we get to this little missive. I hate it when people flame using an alias, so I Googled the author and thought you might like to know that…
…Mr. Freedom is actually NEVILLE A. ROSS of Toronto. He’s a bit of an artist who loves comic books and Star Trek. He likes Star Trek so much that the only 3 people he follows on Twitter are Wil Wheaton, Levar Burton and Leonard Nimoy (and he calls me a man-child). He’s also into photography and cosplay.

Hey Josh, I see that you love to kiss cop ass and suck on cop dick; do you love to get fucked in the bum by cops, too? Do you love to kiss and lick cop pussy? Are you a lover of brainwashing by the semi-neoconservative MSM? It seems that you do, because all I see here is the rant of an out of touch, socially, politically and (dare I say it) emotionally stunted man-child who will kiss the ass of anybody in power just to live and survive-that’s what this rant of yours looked like to me.
<i>NOTHING</i> in this rant looked, or sounded like, you had any inkling of what the protesters (not the Black Bloc) wanted to say to the world. Nothing sounded as if you had <i>any</i> idea of the issues the protesters were on the streets trying to bring to everybody’s attention. Instead, all I see here is an immature nobody who’s taken his talking points from Rex Murphy, Bill Riley, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Makin, and every other neoconservative bully with a big mouth and small sexual member. It also sounds like the typical North American sheep who vote and pay taxes, consume like there’s no tomorrow and who only knows what’s on <i>Canadian Idol</i>, and what’s happening in the NHL playoffs/Super Bowl/Grey Cup/NCAA championships, plus whatever’s playing a the local multiplex or what’s going on with the latest celebrity.
I could be wrong about this, and if I am, please let me know. But so far, what I read above is what I’ve described you as.

So there it is. I might make a habit out of showcasing the most hate-filled comments I get here on the blog. The only question I have in response is…what’s MSM??
Wow! This guys’s so angry! The letter pretty much shows the point of how a lot of the “protesters” are more or less angry kids who need to prove everyone is evil and blame everyone else for their own problems. I mean, no self-respecting adult would talk like that!
And I think it’s funny him accusing you of being ignorant when he pins all kinds of labels you without even knowing you! In the therapy world, we call that “projection”.
In case I get accused of being ignorant, here’s my experience in a nutshell:
Development and International Economist
Study international relation, globalization
Volunteer at soup kitchens
Lived in 3rd world country
Spent time in post-warzone
That’s all I can think of right now.
Cheers and thanks for sharing!
What I particularly enjoy is all the porn-talk at the beginning. It lingers just a little too long, doesn’t it? I think he found it quite arousing to write that.
And now, a little part of him feels important for you having spent this effort on him. It’s an OK rant. I’ve heard better.
Perhaps…but I feel pretty good too.
I’m very familiar with this Neville character. He used to troll a science fiction bulletin board I belonged to; basically, if you were interested in anything made before 1977, he would throw a tantrum and curse and swear at you and order you off the board because he only wanted to have discussions about the “new” stuff he was interested in allowed on the forums. Other than the fact that he was actually stupid enough to leave his full name and e-mail address with every inflammatory post he made, the most interesting thing about him was that he once revealed his age to be…thirty-four. He’s in his early to mid forties now, and yet he still behaves like someone short of twelve.
Once in a while, I’ll google his name to see what he’s up to (purely for entertainment purposes). The last time I did it, one of the first results which popped up was a foot fetish website. Read into that what you will.
MSM = MainStream Media
Just FYI.
And, I too take joy in reading internet troll comments. And then deleting them. But that one you received is something else entirely.
