A Warm Welcome

I signed up to post over at the Rabble Babble BBS yesterday. I didn't make it a secret and they knew I was comming. Have a look at the warm reception they gave me:

"...the self-same Evans who voted to delete an article on Progressive Bloggers from Wikipedia.
Yes, *that* Dick Evans. The one boasting over at Angry in the Great White North of having infiltrated our little throng.
My view? Let's keep him around. We sour, humorless leftists need a good laugh now and then.
Welcome, Dick!"


and...

"Oh fear and dread, we are all doomed ... a conservative who considers himself superior to everyone else. The "great right hope" has come to smite all us inferior commies and our socialists ideals.
Welcome to babble, we don't get very many conceited pieces of shit conservatives any more... no more than one or two a day. You certainly are a rarity, how will we ever deal with the likes of
you? "


I think they're in for a surprise. Here's another:

"Oh goody, yet another neo-Con clone to have around. Rick your words are very wise. I really like the way you equate a certain babblers name with terrorism. That was super duper. As a lefty I cannot tell you how pleased I am to see you here. Just so much wonderful, inspiring and ummmm.....original thoughts coming from your blog. You must be super proud. I can't wait for you to teach us/me the horror and depravity of our ways.
Besides.... This way I can have yet another reason to have zero hope that neo-con and 'progressive' are words that play well together. Again welcome to Rabble oh neo-con lord of dogma and hate. Really have a seat... sorry for that little incident. I didn't mean to pull the
chair away from you while you were sitting.
Good thing you won't be around long enough to muddy my lefty mind with enticements of free pictures of Canada's favorite neo-cons - signed and framed."


That one was my favorite. Notice how the author used a post filled with hate to accuse me of being hatefull. I'm not sure, is that called hypocracy? Hmmm... I'll have to look that up.

More later...
