Do we want to reconcile?

Steve Davidson of Amazing Stories informs us how the Puppies can do so, should we be so inclined.

Want to reconcile?  Here’s what puppies must do.

  1.     stop scamming the system.  If you want to recommend works that you think are worthy of the award, go ahead and do so.  But drop the political agenda (you’re dragons are imaginary) and eliminate the hateful, snarky commentary
  2.     stop attacking the very people who are offering you a bridge
  3.     please learn a little bit about the history of Worldcon and the Hugo Awards
  4.     if you want to be counted as Fans, then be Fans.  Fans who care attend Worldcon, nominate their conscience and attend the business meeting to effect change they think is needed.  They work WITH and within fandom – they do not set themselves up as a cabal that engages in fear and hate.

My response:

  1. Recommending works we thought were worthy was all we did last year. I wrote one (1) single post to that effect. Chaos Horizon even demonstrated mathematically that there was no bloc-voting by the Puppies last year. But PNH and the Tor Cabal are not imaginary. The whisper campaigns and award pimpage of the past are not imaginary. People buying memberships for their underage children so they could bloc-vote for them are not imaginary. SJWs actively pushing a political agenda in science fiction are not imaginary. The rules changes they rammed through in order to defend their turf, exactly as I predicted, are not imaginary. So, no.
  2. No. It’s not a bridge, it’s an invitation to surrender.
  3. We know far more about the history of Worldcon, Fandom, and the Hugo Awards than you want us to know. We know all about Heidi Saha and David Asimov and the Greyland siblings and Kevin Smith, and the Sri Lankan cabana boys, just to name a few, and soon the entire world will know all about what happened to more than a few children at Fandom’s hands. Or to be more precise, what is happening to them. Fandom fosters, defends, and even celebrates a tremendously sick and twisted group of criminal deviants.
  4. We don’t want to be Fans. We don’t want to be anything like you. We don’t want anything to do with you. We are entirely content to be what George Martin dismisses as mere readers, writers, editors, and publishers. And what we intend to do in 2016 is continue to liberate a literary genre from the small collection of creepy left-wing monsters, rape enthusiasts, and social justice warriors who have made it their home for decades.

The caption reads: “Eat your heart out, Isaac Asimov – Heidi has promised to wait until Forry grows up!”

Note that the gentleman in the photograph above, Forrest Ackermann, was honored with a 1939 Retro-Hugo for Best Fanzine in 2014. He was also nominated for Best Fan Writer.

I said in 2013, there can be no reconciliation. Everything I have learned over the last two years has confirmed that. Decent human beings who respect traditional morality don’t reconcile with child abusers and the amoral Fans who enable, celebrate, and associate with them.

So, I vote no to reconciliation. What do you say, Rabid Puppies? What do you say, Dread Ilk? What do you say, Sad Puppies?

Even the moderate leader of Sad Puppies 3, Brad Torgersen, sounds as if he considers the prospect of reconciliation to be a dubious one.

An analysis of the post-Hugo numbers identifies a 2,500-vote block of individuals who seemed to think the best way to annihilate the infamous forces of the Kurgan — Vox Day — was to accept Vox’s challenge to play chicken. Now, I warned everybody that chicken is the Kurgan’s favorite game. But that 2,500-vote block went ahead and played the game anyway, nuking five whole categories, and cheering themselves in the process. It was their finest moment. It was also precisely what Vox Day wanted them to do, because it gives Vox his pretext for further assaults on the Hugos in future years, while also radicalizing and alienating many people who wanted nothing to do with Vox, but who did want to see justice done at the Hugo awards proper.

As I warned Mike Glyer of File 770, I am a patient man. We didn’t fight back in the media last year, but let them take their best shot at calling us bigots, racists, neo-nazis, and so forth. Last year, I did nothing more than post a single list of recommendations.

And now that 2015 has come to an end, it’s our turn.


How can I fear my enemies…

When I have supporters like this?

By posting this video… I make no commentary on the quality… or
political implications of this video.  It is here solely for
informational purposes.

I’m not sure which is more horrifying, the video itself or the knowledge that certain SJWs will be watching it over and over again on a repeating loop.


18 hours and going strong

Nick Searcy is still triggered:

Yes, Nick $earcy! ‏@yesnicksearcy
Box is too clueless to understand things like “origins.” He’s just trying to be “cool.”

Yes, Nick $earcy! ‏@yesnicksearcy
Do tell me more about the real world, failure at life. I’m just dying here, in my heated swimming pool. 

Yes, Nick $earcy! ‏@yesnicksearcy
Everyone decent distances themselves from the asshole Vox.

Yes, Nick $earcy! ‏@yesnicksearcy
It’s the only publicity Vox’s useless ass might ever get. Now that I’ve blocked him, it slowly dies away.

Yes, Nick $earcy! ‏@yesnicksearcy
I don’t disagree with Vox. He’s a racist pig who hates transracial adoption. I shun him.

Yes, Nick $earcy! ‏@yesnicksearcy
And all his loser minions have less than 50 followers.

The funniest thing is that he’s doing all of this furious tweeting from behind a block. He’s like the little dog that barks at you while hiding behind his owner’s legs. But you almost have to appreciate his total commitment to his own imagination. He is clearly living in his own little delusion bubble, the brave, tough-talking hero of his own play.

Apparently Nick has a growing number of enemies.

Yes, Nick $earcy! ‏@yesnicksearcy
Anyone who use the racist Stormfront term “#cuckservative” is my enemy. Period.

Searcy is the perfect demonstration of how the cuckservatives serve the Left. Nothing is more important to him than not being called racist. Which, of course, makes him eminently malleable.

UPDATE: 20 hours in. The Ilk are hilarious.

Yes, Nick $earcy!@yesnicksearcy
Sorry, dumbass. It’s Vox that won’t leave me alone.

Coyote287@Coyote443
You probably forgot to tell him about your adopted black son. Then he realize what a good guy u are.

Yes, Nick $earcy!@yesnicksearcy 1h1 hour ago
No, I told him about my son.  That really bothered him. See, he hates non-white adopted children. 

This cluelessness, of course, inspired more mocking.

Yes, Nick $earcy! ‏@yesnicksearcy
I wish you stupid Vox fart-sniffers were the least bit amusing. You’re just dull.

Vox Day ‏@voxday
You should have a sniff, Nicky. They smell like frangipani blossoms with just a hint of champagne.


Hipster Thanksgiving

It’s funny. But even funnier was Ed Driscoll’s comment on Instapundit: “I lasted about 30 seconds before wanting to go full ISIS on these people.”

It puts watching The Man in the High Castle in a whole new metacontext. No wonder people have been cheering for the bad guys. What was the point of winning WWII if the consequence was seeing American society degenerate into this sort of absurdity?


“Chris, where’s your plate?”


“I find plates to be extremely oppressive.”


“That’s how I feel about everything!”


“Yeah, I don’t need some inanimate disc telling me the alpa and omega of my Earth bounty.”


A bold move

We’ll see how that works out for her. Margaret Cho threatens Spacebunny:

Margaret Cho Verified account @margaretcho
@Spacebunnyday advice – block me. I’m going to do some… I CANT SAY. TOP SECRET Sorry just as a friend – BLOCK ME NOW. FOR YOUR SAKE. NOW.

Margaret Cho Verified account @margaretcho
@Spacebunnyday @yesnicksearcy actually I think #Anonymous might need to help me now. I kinda hate your attitude towards me. Sorry. Best. X

Very scary. I’ll call and raise 454 Vile Faceless Minions.

Love,
The Supreme Dark Lord
ELoE

It’s already started. This comment, unlike Margaret Cho at any point in her entire career as a so-called comedienne, made me laugh.

Shuttlecock ‏@Shuttlecock7
@voxday @margaretcho if god wanted us to kill babies he’d have made them all Chinese girls! Oh wait…

Being an SJW, Margaret Cho couldn’t help doubling-down.

Margaret Cho ‏@margaretcho
They are nonstop harassing me. It’s so hard. I get worn down. But your presence is comforting! Xoxo you make me safe

Margaret Cho ‏@margaretcho
Woah. @Spacebunnyday is not real #12daysofrage

Operation Ferguson @OpFerguson
@margaretcho He is part of that gamergate crowd, those people are psychopaths.

Margaret Cho ‏@margaretcho
Yes. They hate women with such ferocity. I’m afraid for girls in gaming or anyone who they decide to target/threaten

Vox Day@voxday
It was supposed to be two weeks, but @margaretcho aborted two of them. #12daysofrage


Sexually twisted freaks

It’s not your imagination. There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with SJWs:

When she arrived at the house on Memorial Day in 2011, Anna didn’t know what D.J. planned to do. His brother, Wesley, was working in the garden, so she went straight inside to speak with D.J. and his mother, P. They chatted for a while at the dining table about D.J.’s plans for school and for getting his own apartment. Then there was a lull in the conversation after Wesley came back in, and Anna took hold of D.J.’s hand. ‘‘We have something to tell you,’’ they announced at last. ‘‘We’re in love.’’

‘‘What do you mean, in love?’’ P. asked, the color draining from her face.

To Wesley, she looked pale and weak, like ‘‘Caesar when he found out that Brutus betrayed him.’’ He felt sick to his stomach. What made them so uncomfortable was not that Anna was 41 and D.J. was 30, or that Anna is white and D.J. is black, or even that Anna was married with two children while D.J. had never dated anyone. What made them so upset — what led to all the arguing that followed, and the criminal trial and million-­dollar civil suit — was the fact that Anna can speak and D.J. can’t; that she was a tenured professor of ethics at Rutgers University in Newark and D.J. has been declared by the state to have the mental capacity of a toddler.

My favorite part is when she makes up how she “valiantly resisted” the speechless retard’s persistent seduction attempts. So brave. Thank you for this.

This was her mitzvah and her tikkun olam. She was helping to repair the world.

Any time you hear someone tell you they are occupied with “healing the world”, you know you’re dealing with a psychopath with a twisted mind.


Lunatics wanted

There is apparently an opening for mentally unstable shoggoths, in case any of you happen to be looking for unpaid employment:

I’m sorry to say that my co-chair s.e. smith and I have resigned as
Wiscon 40 chairs and as members of the Wiscon concom, effective
immediately. This is a really unfortunate decision to have had to make,
and we very much regret placing the con in this position. That said, it
seems clear that we are a poor culture fit for the concom, and we feel
the need to prioritize self-care rather than further risk our own mental
health and well-being.

I can’t help but wonder what makes them poor culture fits for the zoo-like freakfest that is Wiscon. Are they attracted to men? Do they weigh less than 200 kilograms? Did they Question the Narrative or did they simply fail to keep up with its rapid mutations?

In any case, “I feel the need to prioritize self-care” is now my go-to excuse for, well, anything. I was going to mow the lawn today, but regretfully, I felt the need to prioritize self-care. I’m sure you understand.


Not slutty enough

Who would have ever thought we would see the day that Nero was deemed insufficiently sluttish?

Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos was ejected from the Amber Rose Slut Walk in Los Angeles this afternoon. Slut Walkers could be heard yelling to police officers, “Thanks for taking out the trash!”‎

Yiannopoulos was reporting from the event with a film crew, interviewing Rebel Media broadcaster and Canadian libertarian politician Lauren Southern about the feminist movement which protests against “rape culture” and “slut-shaming.”

Southern had just asked host Amber Rose whether she believed in rape culture. Event organizers immediately announced to Breitbart that they were calling law enforcement to have both journalists escorted from Pershing Square in downtown LA.

Protesters snatched and tore up Yiannopoulos’s placard, which read: “‘Rape Culture And Harry Potter’: Both Fantasy” in view of the police, who stood by while protesters bellowed and grabbed at a second placard that read, “Regret is not Rape.”‎

I have no doubt that the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice will be all over this outrageous violation of a gay man’s civil rights.


Third time’s the charm

I’ve put the comments back into moderation again, as I expect Mr. Spooner will be spamming the blog until he is prevented from doing so tomorrow. He was warned by the officer and agreed to comply with the officer’s request after the officer’s second visit, but proved unable to keep his word this evening. As a result, I have compiled a document containing his most recent 1,500+ comments and sent it to the officer. A very brief sample is below.

Andrew Spooner Jr. at 5:17 AM

It’s a pity, but Mr. Spooner left me with little choice. So, please leave your comments as usual and Markku, Matt, and I will approve them without too much of a delay. And you might spare a moment to pray for the guy. Something is clearly not right with him and the whole thing stinks of the spiritual world. The Enemy always attacks through weak links, and despite whatever he is going through now, Andrew Spooner has been one of us for years.


Moderation is in effect

The troll from Hendersonville, Tennesee who goes by Andrew Spooner Jr. is back so I’ve turned the moderation back on until further notice. I suspect we’re dealing with an “off his meds” situation here, because the guy has been posting literally hundreds of comments, many of them vulgar references to African-American genitalia.

One thing a lot of you probably don’t realize is how much goes on behind the scenes to prevent trolls, lunatics, and attention-seekers from disrupting the discourse here. The three of us, Matt, Markku, and I, deal with these attempted disruptions, both purposeful and incidental, every single day. All your comments will appear in short order, they simply won’t appear instantaneously. We’re not doing this to control your comments, but to prevent them from disappearing in a flood of lunacy.

To put it in perspective, in the last 26 minutes alone he left 114 comments, many of them identical to this.

Apparently it isn’t only SJWs who psychologically project. His object, in his own words, is to drive away the commenters unless he is permitted to comment without being subject to the rules. “I will drive every last commenter out of here until you take your rules and burn them Vox.”

Needless to say, that’s not going to happen. Here is an archive of his short-lived blog and this is his Blogger profile: It appears his address is here:

119 Crossroad Drive
Hendersonville, TN 37075-4801

The Andrew Spooner there is the right age for one who reports being 21 in 2004. He ran a podcast called Radio Free Hendersonville a few years ago. He also has a GoodReads account complete with a picture. His reading list appears to have been influenced by VP, which indicates that we’ve got the correct individual.

Anyhow, I’m going to contact the Hendersonville police today as this guy has now gone from stalking to aggravated stalking under Tennessee Code 39-17-315 – Stalking, aggravated stalking, and especially aggravated stalking.

Andrew, it’s not about you having anything to hide or not, it’s about the fact that you just committed a Class C felony. You won’t be the first troll of this blog to find himself being interrogated by the police. Hell, you won’t even be the first one named Andrew.

UPDATE: He’s now up to 1,220 comments in less than five hours and the rate is increasing. He’s reached a rate of up to 25 copy-pasted comments per minute. I have to confess, it’s somewhat fascinating to see the deterioration of a mind in real-time. His spelling began to fall apart about 90 minutes ago.

UPDATE 2: I received an update from the officer. He returned to Andrew’s house and explained that if the harassment continued, he would have to take out a warrant. Apparently Andrew is not so far gone that he wishes to risk arrest. That appears to have resolved the immediate situation, but to the extent that the uncharacteristic behavior was indicative of a deeper problem, I don’t see how it will resolve anything in the longer term. So, we’ll see.
