I'm deleting the...An Update in the Comments. <br /><br />I'm deleting the comments by Paul Boillot because, ultimately, they have no redeeming value. As I explained to Nate, he has trolled me before. Unlike Andre, who was the troll of trolls at Patheos, Paul could only post in infantile insults and expletives. If one wants that level of discourse, one can hang out at any local kindergarten playground. And, unlike Andre - who when not trolling could contribute interesting and welcome insights to a discussion - Paul seemed consistent in his ability to be wrong about everything. Given that he contributed nothing positive, and seemed only capable of hurling insults and name calling to cover his never ending ignorance of the subjects at hand, there is no need to have him showing here. <br /><br /><br />So I'm deleting his messages, something I've never done. I warned him already, and he went ahead and posted another childish barb, so obviously he isn't taking the hint. I might post his 'comments' and my responses some other time, in some other place. He did post them them after all, and I let them stand. But I've had some who stopped by point out what Nate noticed, and I don't want that to be the focus here. I don't want his petty issues to pollute my "almost farewell" post with his typical infantile cesssposts from the dregs of the Internet. So that is that. Again, I might post them somewhere down the road, but not here. And because of that, and because I've already been contacted (as usual) through email about the post rather than on the comments, I'm closing comments down for this post. If you don't usually contact me this way, you can always do so by email.

Unlike Andre, Paul's approach was lowbrow. Whereas Andre would pull the old 'can you really prove C-A-T doesn't spell dog?' or 'isn't the past irrelevant?' tricks, Paul just plowed in, screaming names and insults, often laden with expletives and vulgarities. He became more embittered toward me, I think, after he got seriously owned last year or thereabouts. He had done his usual 'you're an idiot and moron (add expletives here)', but then got taken to the woodshed by Don McClarey, who showed I was right and Paul was hilariously wrong. Like the old saying goes, the only thing worse than being wrong on the internet is being wrong after you loudly and openly mocked someone else who turned out to be right. He never came back to my blog after that, but a couple of times joined others while I still hung about at other Patheos blogs. My guess is this be his parting shot, trying to salve what wounds he's still been chaffing over since his big humiliation.David Griffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06629314279592541401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-89621323964999056412018-11-06T13:29:26.163-05:002018-11-06T13:29:26.163-05:00Wow, Paul, Dave run over your cat or something?
