A few folks wonder why I spend any time splashing gnats with my rather deep pool of Snark.
Some of you have watched me for a few years now and have uncovered that there is a methodology in play when I choose to attack in public. A few of you have even figured out what that methodology actually entails. I've only explained it once, briefly, to Jim Klein, about my philosophical grounding in the feudal samurai. Some of you have become some of my closest Tribe.
Cut to the bone, it is this simple: I can't stand a hypocrite. They are the foulest of bi-peds. They should not breed. When I find myself with a hypocrite, 99.9% of the time I leave it alone. For those of you who think that number may be artificially high, I promise you if I engaged every hypocrite I met, I'd be too tired to breathe.
Most of the time I let the hypocrites ooze by me. Don't start none, won't be none. Keep your hypocrisy out of my life, out of the sphere of events in my life, we got no problem.
Once in a while it takes even my well-tuned radar a while to reveal I've allowed a hypocrite in my midst. Vanderboegh was easy. AP a bit longer. Tom Baugh about 3 emails. I wish I had Bill Nye's radar about such things. He nails it FAST.
Then Mark D. Firestone & Carol Jane King (Esquire) slithered into my life. I never knew them. Never visited their sites. Had no idea who they were by screen name or real name - until they started attacking my Tribe. Savage, pornographic, vulgar attacks. They got facts WAY wrong, facts that risked innocent people. And they didn't care. All from behind the walls of anonymity.
First, I got a bit of help from someone who shall remain nameless, then we ripped the anonymity masks off those two pieces of genetic filth.
Well, that is when other facets of my personality kick in. It became my fight to defend my Tribe.
It remains my fight.
It will remain my fight for years.
Right now Firestone and King are whining and crying everywhere they can think. Yet the big, bad Kerodin just won't go away. They threaten lawsuits. They promise Cease & Desist orders are on the way. Yet they can't shit or shut-up, because pure fear has them both by the throats. I've seen it a thousand times. They fucked-up, and now they both know it.
Here's a bit of hypocrisy that some of you already know, and most of you have chosen to ignore. I bring AP into this because it directly relates to Firestone and King, and as usual this community chooses to ignore Principle time and again, even when guys like Bill Nye lay it all out for a 3rd grader to see. You all remember that when I withdrew my petting of AP's head because he was no longer a loyal friend, he lost his mind and started trying to bite me all over the net. Anyway...
Here's just one flavor of AP's hypocrisy. Return to the picture/definition above if you need to, now. Fact: Arctic Parrot is having to defend himself against his considerable alliances and affiliations and writing and rhetoric of White Supremacy. That's happening at his site, right now. (No worries, he's already actively scrubbing)
Mark Firestone, as I have shown time and again, has a public, what would seem to be an obsessive fascination with man-on-man homosexual porn, which he's directed at me and others. Fact: Carol King's (now adult) son is openly homosexual. I have no issue with her son, for the record.
So, folks - who posts the VERY FIRST defensive post for Arctic Parrot about his White Supremacy charges? Mark Firestone: " To the one person who asked about it out of concern- thank you." You're welcome. And for the response that let me know unequivocally that you did not believe spurious (and equally disgusting) allegations about me from the same camp, THANK YOU. I hope to meet face to face sooner rather than later, AP. I'll be proud to shake your hand.Mark D. Firestone
Now, you'll recall that Firestone and Arctic Parrot have been playing footsie since Firestone entered my life. Firestone has an obvious, public online fetish with homosexuality, his gal-pal has a homosexual son and an equal fascination with public displays of vulgarity, and the re-born Arctic Parrot is willing to let all that go when his pesky values get in the way of an ally. He'd rather ignore all that "stuff" God says about homosexuality and righteous behavior when it is convenient, just because he'd like to use Firestone like a tool to try and get a few digs in Kerodin's side.
Now, I challenge you to flip through Arctic Parrot's site and see what he writes about "Faggotry" and other non-Godly-approved behaviors.
Hypocrisy: The willingness to set aside your ideals when convenient - or more often, the willingness to "forget" you hold such "Principles", because you don't - it's all for show"
So all of you people buying into Justin's new "Principled Godliness", that's your business. So long as he continues to keep interfering in my life, it remains my business. But you'd be a fool to believe it. He got tired of being intellectually defeated time and time again, and sought refuge in the one area he thought no one would attack him - in the embrace of God. Yet from this embrace, he still snarks and plots and rubs shoulders with the very people he says God demands he smite.
Anyway, forget all that. The purpose of the column is to help explain why every now and again I spend a bit of energy on people you think may be punching beneath my weight (and they are).
Now you know. When you see it, if it bothers you, ignore it.
In this time I have been online, I have truly built a small Tribe.
You'd be well advised to understand that if you fuck with one of them, any of them, for any reason, I have their backs. They don't even really have a choice in the matter. And I do not believe in proportional response. I do not care where you are or what you do or what "YOU" may think should be the end of my defense. You start shit with me or my Tribe. I decide when it ends. In some cases I commit to carrying on for years. Some responses will be minor, just annoying. Some not so minor. But I will never, ever stop until I am satisfied.
Some people talk about Tribe.
I fucking live it. To the hilt.
