The anonymous VCU commenter.... Updated

Update: Further checking of the stats found that this particular anonymous commenter has been in my site at least 250 times.

The anonymous comment was left this morning, while I was online, under my post, "Are the conservatives willing to cut a deal for the good of the Party?" Anonymous Commenter said:
Nobody but that donkey whacko gives a sh*t what you think.
I immediately went to my stats to see who was there ... and it showed someone with a Virginia Commonwealth University IP address.

This Anonymous Commenter appears to have missed the entire point of blogs.

First, he/she does not have to read my blog ... so please do not come back.

Second, it is my domain where I can post my thoughts, opinions, and any information I care to publicly put out there for someone to read. I can publish reader comments or ignore them -- it's my decision. And I do not publish comments with profanity in them.

If Anonymous Commenter wants to do the same, start up a blog.

Otherwise, I hope VCU (the alma mater of "that donkey whacko") is teaching more to this particular student than just how to leave drive-by comments with nasty language in them. And I would certainly hope than the staff there was above such a thing so I am not even including them in the possibility of being so small-minded.

Meanwhile, "that donkey whacko" is my friend, a fellow SWAC blogger, a contributing member of our community, a graduate of VCU, a Marine veteran who has served his country, and someone who must be intimidating to Anonymous Commenter for him/her to have such a knee-jerk reaction. Time for him/her to find another way to express his/her frustrations with life and him/herself.

Anon commenters are like the channels your parents won't let you watch. If they were a TV show, they'd be on after 10.

You know, they are on the same intelligence level as Stern, Springer, Johnson, etc.

But, what can you expect from a majority of students from Viet Cong University?
