Looks like a fallacy, specifically: special pleading:

Why is that justification considered valid when applied to an
anonymous poster like Bertie but not valid when applied to a poster
who uses his real name like Jay?

I never said it was or anything about anonymous posters.

As far as I can tell Jay has just as much right to "give a crap less
what anyone thinks of him" and just say what he feels about "Bertie"
without having to justify it.

I never said he didn't.

Bottom line:

Jay said Bertie is a troll.

I said Bertie is something else.





I'm kinda both. I used to reserve the Bertie handle strictly for
trolling but got lazy once in here harassing Anthony and started using
it to make sensible posts as well.
Thing is, the concept of a troll is widely misunderstood. I believe I
explained it well earlier in this thread. Without a trollee though ,
there are no trolls. You have to have someone as idiotic as Jay as a
target or there is no point. This does not mean that ignoring me works.
That tactic is just one more step along the way.
I can tell you from experience that a good troll is never deterred by
that. Jay hasn't actually killfiled me and I know it, for one thing, and
even if he left usenet forever I could pull his chain just by living
longer than him at this stage. He's mine forever now, so he might as wel
stay and get his ass kicked in the open than in his limited imagination.

Bertie

So, first it's MX and the Rabbit. Then Jay & Thomas. Who's next?

Where does it end? Will you re-make the world in your image?

Do you just keep building windmills?

Frankly, I don't give a damn, but you leave a lot of muck to wade
through and I miss folks like MontBlack.

You are getting to be kinda like a boil, not very important, but a pain
in the ass.
