Tell them [that we're idiots] ... Bring me to this rock, that has the most incredible life.

Loved that tree. We all called it the Baobob, 'cause it had so many trunks.; April 23, 2015 at 4:21 PM

Ilíon said...: Well, since the whole point was how morally superior they are to normal people (you know, the ones who actually try to learns and live by real morality), *of course* there had to be a camera there. I mean, what would have been the point, otherwise?; April 23, 2015 at 5:54 PM

I like trees. A lot (*). Nevertheless, when you get down to it, they're really just overgrom broccoli.

(*) After I bought my property, I planted a couple of seedling redwoods. Sadly, they did not survive the first winter. And it really pisses me off when I find evidence that someone has damaged a tree on my property. Of the 12 of so English walnuts I planted back in 1987, only the one near the house survived ... the most of others having been severely injured or even outright killed by people traipsing across my property.; April 24, 2015 at 12:23 PM

Ilíon said...: To the best of my knowledge, what you're suggesting is not possible. The options I'm aware of are:
1) Make you're blog "members only", which seems to me to rather miss the point of a blog;
2) Require all comments to be individually 'approved' by the blog owner or admistrator before they become publically visiable;
3) After-the-fact individually delete comments that are "over the line" (which includes the option to delete not only the content, but also the "place-holder")

It seems to me that option 3) is the best solution to the occasional troll. That's how I got rid of the troll or trolls who tried to set up shop on this little blog.; April 25, 2015 at 5:51 PM
B. Prokop said...: I deleted my comment to you when I saw that Victor had already taken steps over on his site. I must have done that while you were composing your reply. Sorry for the confusion that may have caused.

In any case, i think it's for the best. Victor had a great site, but it had effectively been hijacked by trolls. Rational conversation was no longer possible due to their disruptive "commentary".; April 25, 2015 at 6:02 PM
