					<description><![CDATA[NOTE: Greg is the only one who can do anything about it.

Some inadequate little idiot has been shown wrong by NJ and therefore is on a vendetta against them. After all, if this pindick can&#039;t have any respect, why should anyone have it?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The name you get in the &quot;Posted By&quot; is merely something you type in.

Indeed, there could be thousands of people using the same monicker &quot;NJ&quot; without actually being malicious about it.

Now, knowing this, why does it matter WHO the &quot;real NJ&quot; is? Just approach each post as it is written. And when an NJ is posting complete lunacy, then treat it with the contempt that its complete lunacy deserves and if it is cogent (whether you agree or not), approach it appropriate to its content.

And let the &quot;posted by&quot; moniker mean as much as it signifies.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Harry Palmer @ 20:

&lt;blockquote&gt;I do not understand the fuss here. Which is the real NJ? Can someone explain? What does this childish argument have to do with the post?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Rob Hood is a mentally ill person, ostensibly from Mississippi, who originally posted at this and other blogs under his real name with links back to his own blog. When some of us followed the links, we found a YEC with issues about vaccination, water fluoridation, the HAARP project, FEMA concentration camps and US socialism.

In short, a kook.

When these issues were brought up in response to his posts, he began to sockpuppet under a variety of names. Sadly for him, his innate illness would show through (as you have seen) and a number of SB commenters would call him out.

Since I have been persistent in identifying his posts (and thereby making sure that random readers/searchers could check out his &lt;em&gt;oeuvre&lt;/em&gt;), he has taken to using my &#039;nym, often copying and editing my comments into childish insults that he seems to think will somehow wound or discredit me.

Of course, after a while few readers mistake his &#039;style&#039; for mine, and Rob fails to realize that the joke is on him. Eventually we expect him to suffer a complete break and be involuntarily committed.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Chuck@3, Susan@4, phillydoug@5:

Sorry to tell you that you have NOT been hoaxed. The person who posted the disturbed screed @2 is Willie Flowers, an undertreated mental patient and overdosed Fluoride victim who frequents a number of blogs here at SB. He originally posted under his Candianess. in addition to being a nut, he is an vaccine slurper (terribly addicted to aluminum, you see), rants against &quot;Rob Hood men in Tights&quot; and assorted other lunacies. He then began posting under his bed.

Once I started recognizing his tells (addition to Robin Hood is a common one), I began offering responses outing him. He then began to puster using all his resources as either an attempt to upset me (more amusing than upsetting) or to try an leave a trail of craziness with my fingerprint.

A great many of the visitors to the blogs he frequents now recognize this and call him out as well. When the gracious host of this blog discovers NJ the sacred Canadian fluoride victim has tried the tactic again, he will delete or edit the post accordingly.

If you decide to return, you may be treated to Candian fluoride addict posting a response to me consisting of edited comments I have made about him. Clear proof that our government mandated Obama healthcare system is failing people crosscountry....

PS. the canadian fluoride addict is the hairiest hominid in North America. It could be from the all the miracle grow he puts in his fluoride water.

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;PS Giraffes are the highest animals, we&#039;re really quite low down when you think about it.&quot;

I&#039;m half an inch shy of six foot. For a multicellular organism I&#039;m well on the high side.

I also have two soles. However I suspect they&#039;re not immortal.

					<description><![CDATA[What the heck is a &#039;soul&#039;?

Sounds to me like a lame, primitive attempt to catagorize the experience of being alive as being some sort of &#039;thing&#039;, vigorously defended, of course, by a lot of high falutin&#039;, self aggrandizing, pious language and manipulative histrionics. Because once mythology becomes religion, we dun gotta slather it up with lots o&#039; dogma and portentous hand waving to control the masses.

Gullibles of the world unite! Joy! Joy! Wallow in luxurious, self-indulgent glory! ]]></description>
