He is loading multiples onto various posts, and I just delete them. It's easy and I don't have to read them. I'm really not sure what his sickness is, and I don't really care. He's easy to deal with.<br /><br />I don't have access to any data, even in read-only. I have a separate service that logs in readers, but it misses many that I know of, and it doesn't come close in correlating time of 'page' access to any comments made by anyone. It would be nice to have a tool which logged IP address to be able to spam filter. But blogger doesn't even allow access to its proprietary spam filter rules. Google is kinda anal about some stuff.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754447145433452423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274381712003139086.post-82053249517141777922015-06-13T23:39:17.557-05:002015-06-13T23:39:17.557-05:00Do you have direct access to the actual files cont...Do you have direct access to the actual files containing the comments? If so, there may be some tools to help search quickly through them for specific names or phrases, even if the format is HTML or XML.<br /><br />In my previous professional life, I used <b>grep</b> and <b>gawk</b> on Unix systems for most quick searches using regular expression patterns. There are Windows versions of these search tools available for free.<br /><br />On the other hand, if Blogger "hides" the structure, then it might prove a little more difficult to automate a search process.Robert Coblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427520849707914818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274381712003139086.post-6908110821497877052015-06-13T13:10:52.081-05:002015-06-13T13:10:52.081-05:00I don't have a good search mechanism for comme...I don't have a good search mechanism for commenter names. There are 13,200+ comments, and the most I can view is 100 at a time. So I don't know about TJSmith. Having no profile is a strong clue, though. Circumstantial evidence says "probably".Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754447145433452423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274381712003139086.post-69586025549455949832015-06-13T11:26:58.936-05:002015-06-13T11:26:58.936-05:00There is a malodorous smell of HUGO sock puppet in...There is a malodorous smell of HUGO sock puppet in these two posts by TJSmith.<br /><br />The "tell": the slightly derisive and mocking tone using the terminology found in several of the blog posts to overstate the case as if it is an absurdity. The jarring "example: the bible has always claimed that the universe had a beginning; science did not!" which imputes this position to the blog owner and commenters. The final question virtually contradicts itself. The sole use of rhetoric, without presenting any argumentation pro or con on the relevant issue.<br /><br />I suggest a comparison of these two posts to previous posts (if any) by TJSmith to determine if that pseudonym has been hijacked by the HUGO troll.<br /><br />No offense intended to the "real" TJSmith, if there is (or was) such a person AND that person posted these posts or previous posts.Robert Coblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427520849707914818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274381712003139086.post-79093755106610236942015-06-08T11:30:32.938-05:002015-06-08T11:30:32.938-05:00You know...

While it is mostly about the taxpayer money that scientists feel is owed to them, it raises the old specter of the sacrifice of wisdom at the altar of factoids.<br /><br />So do you think that depending upon empirical science to produce wise decisions for future programs and actions in government is an expectation bound not just for failure, but for disaster?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274381712003139086.post-82606504081308833012015-06-08T01:52:08.825-05:002015-06-08T01:52:08.825-05:00Oh Scientists... always appeal to religious Scient...Oh Scientists... always appeal to religious Scientism as the only source of knowledge under Atheist Philosophical Materialism. Here is another very safe bet, especially since scientific knowledge is not fixed, it is highly variable and contingent, never considered "truth".

He says that he is neither liberal or conservative because they are both sides of the national lobotomy or something like that. Great comment. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
