There is reason to believe that at least one of the trolls might be DVDbach, who was banned before, but promised to comment here anyway. Google's Blogspot does leave the door open to trolls by not offering a blocker, other than the general blocker which is total comment moderation. Which of course means that in dealing with trolls, everyone who accesses the blog commenting feature is inconvenienced by having to deal with a single fool.
I'm thinking about bolting Blogspot and going to Wordpress, but that would involve a cash outlay that I would prefer to avoid. So I don't know. Maybe wordpress can't block individual IP's either.
But I do apologize for the inconvenience, and I hope that you will comment as freely as if we were not so inconvenienced.

Well, find out if Wordpress can block individual IPs. If they can, and the yearly outlay of cash is reasonable, I will chip in.
Just went over there. You were correct, whatever he says, simply IS and that's the end of the matter. For him.
Of course, the rest of us have to do the heavy lifting and actually provide PROOF supporting our statements (which he denies, based on... his opinion). So yeah, the place is a waste of time.
I wonder sometimes what it's like to live in a place where everything bends to your will. I wonder what that kind of power does to a man. Then I catch a glimpse of DVD Bach's site and shiver a little. Like looking right into the mouth of Hell.
Trolling on the internet is about as old as the internet itself. It comes with the territory.
If one is secure in their beliefs, defending positions rooted in truth, logic and morals (which are plainset) is easy enough. Only when someone is insecure do they go on the offensive, resorting to name-calling, labeling, smearing, etc. They cannot validate their positions within a coherent, logical context, especially with regard to morals and ethics, because they have no foundation.
