I assume anyone who hasn’t unsubscribed is now aware of what I meant when I said I was happier not having regular Net access. I just got back online and spent almost an hour manually erasing the troll’s comments, only one or two of which I scanned for content.
I’m referring to the guy as a ‘troll’ because it’s easier, and accurate – see the definition. It appears that the troll is not a mole after all, a ‘mole’ being (by our definition) an employee of the state, his agenda being to deceive and misdirect. A troll is someone with psychological problems and who feels the need to subject others to it.
Since I have not read 95% of the troll’s comments and emails, my main complaint is how he has damaged this blog and annoyed real readers/participants via the volume of his drivel (from what I did read). This of course is partly my fault. Sorry! My mistaken notion that the troll is a mole (has a ring!) is based on my assumption that the person who wrote this (just a reminder)…
Any you want to know why the exposure for a light colored object that is up in the air in direct sunlight, which looks to be the underexposed surface of white rocket, which normally would be glowing, isn’t enough to make sidelit water, apparently approaching dusk, not enough to make the water as bright blue as in the pictures from space where it is hit with full sun.
If you need to know why i didn’t pay attention to the troll’s ‘messages,’ this is how my Inbox looked each time I got online for the past few days. If you were me, would you open any of these? This is the very definition of a ‘troll.’
…could not possibly be a lawyer working for a (real) law firm in Dallas. However, the troll did send me a screenshot of an email that included the above nonsense (in every sense of the word) and signed by someone who claimed to be a lawyer (via the ‘Esq’). I realize that it – plus other ‘evidence,’ most of which I did not view (see image to the right) — could be fraudulent, but I don’t think it is. I don’t believe that a mole would put in the work I have more or less witnessed in a situation like this, and the prose I’ve scanned is unlikely to be via A.I. It just isn’t, IMO. This is human obsession in action. Simple as that.
Since I consider a mole to be of a class of life form very close to the bottom, and since I did accuse the troll of being a mole (just rolls off the tongue!), I do owe him an apology, on top of the ‘Ben’ (which is how we referred to a $100 back in my smuggling days). I’ll need an address: Put it in the subject box, so I don’t have to open the email. (I will Spam you as soon as I get the info.)
What bothers me about this incident is the following: If I could have been this wrong about the troll, how often might I have been wrong in the past, about alt media figures I have ‘outed’ as moles? My misjudgment, or rather the realization of it, came as a shock, and I immediately began to worry that the ‘outed’ names, like the troll, might simply be idiots… no, now wait…. ‘idiot’ is not the correct term here. What we might refer to as ‘intelligence’ is unrelated to the sort of uber-denial Orwell called ‘doublethink’ – and which is at the bottom of this latest fiasco. So I dunno. I try to self-reflect, so as not to be as ‘wrong’ as the troll and his brother (and so many others) are about Spacex, say (the subject matter one can be ‘wrong’ about is endless). But since I was wrong in this case – a ‘troll’ and a ‘mole’ being such different creatures – I will have to re-double my self-reflection efforts.
So we’re done (at least I am).
Addendum: The above is more Milky Way for those who live in light polluted areas. Use the link if – due to my weak upload connection – there is no video embedded above.)
I expect the troll will continue to barrage this forum with crapola, and since I don’t have solid access to the Net (and will not for some time), there is not much I can do about it that I haven’t done already. The troll will probably show up in the guise of someone else, if not soon, eventually. Remember: His ramblings are ‘only words.’ Just ignore them and get on with life.

Aside from Miles, another of you (just now) sent me $100, presumably to make up for the loss in sending the same amount to the troll. The money itself helps, but I mainly appreciate what’s behind it.
