He gets out of the kitchen - again

The Minnesota anti-PRT propagandist has again decided to shut down blog comments, rather than engage in an open exchange:

When Gow gets silly and wastes my time, it's time to shut down the comments. Source

Oh--as if I was forcing him to post comments. Luckily, I like to archive really good threads as I go. So here it is!

You didn't look for the easter egg, did you?
I didn't make the remark because LRN did anything wrong, I did it because I knew you couldn't resist reposting that particular Talking Point.
Thanks for playing our game, we have some lovely parting gifts for you.

P.S. - the last time someone rhymed Gow with Cow, the rhymer was 9 years old and I was in grade school. You're a veritable Dick Cavett to schoolyard bullies everywhere.

So the CPRT decided to post that IRS statement on it's hompage [sic] all on its own... right.

You mean the boilerplate text that contains no admission of wrongdoing, or IRS finding of wrongdoing or sanction? The one that could mean Please post this so the strange man will leave us alone? That one?

Are you saying that the IRS told the CPRT that I complained to them?...any proof of that?... who told you that?
Gow, are you paid to work on your PRT websites and blogs... how much?

Mr_Grant said...

Still can't recognize the Funny when you read it, eh?
As for whether I get paid-- hey, that's off-topic! Shame on you!

Here's the guy who earlier shut down comments because, he claimed, commenters were going off topic--and now he is the one straying off topic (by getting nosy about me). He changes the subject again, and in the process creates obvious opportunities for jokes and satire. Then he has a snit attack and shuts off comments--even though I'm giving him Comedy Gold! GOLD! How long will it take him to figure it out-- if he stops blogging, I'd have no material!
Don't you love how he thinks you must work at Microsoft if you're in Seattle? Well what about Starbucks? Amazon? REI? Boeing? Nordy's??? Don't those hometown businesses deserve some recognition too?

Today the CW cancelled Ken Avidor after a brief 4 episode run

Why does he hate pirates?

Once again demonstrating his supreme lack of a sense of humor, the Minnesota anti-PRT propagandist ruined International Talk Like a Pirate Day for millions of children all over the internation. He did it on his Michele-Bachmann-spankin' new blog, Green Party Gone Bad, when he began using the Ejection Seat on this reporter's pirate-motif comments.

Why does he hate talking like pirates? Why does he hate the little children who want to talk like pirates? Why does he hate comedy and America???

His ostenible justification was that the comments were "off-topic." However, his application of this new standard seems arbitrary and capricious.

1. The following, in direct response to his claim that what he is practicing is "muckraking," was deleted:

Cap'n_Blog said...

A question from the crew, Kap'n K@n:

How can what ye be doin' be called "muckraking" when all ye be doin' is reprintin' and linkin' things that other gobs be postin'?

Yer posts here be containin' no investigatin' of yer own, only brief and subjective comment-arrrrrr-y.

2. A comment responding to his claim that candidate Mike Cavlan had "a meltdown,":

Mr_Grant said...

I say, old man, what's this "meltdown" you write of? Micko Cavlan is just talking like a Wodehousian character, satire-wise don't you know.

No. One guesses you don't.

Also deleted. Why does he hate P.G. Wodehouse?

3. Finally, when he announced the policy about off-topic comments, I wrote the following:

Cap'n_Grant said...

Kap'n!

Arrrr, since ye are mentioning off-topicness, do ye mean off-topicness is the topic? Because I hope I am on-topic by pointing out that ye often strays off-topic--here for instance.

Deleted! Three on-topic comments, all suppressed!

So: he earns a point for not shutting off comments entirely (like he did at Dump Mark Olson, (He's hiding from his readers, 7/26))-- but he loses 10 points for defining on-topic comments in such a way that would make the audience screener at a George W. Bush rally proud.

Also today: Introducing Weiner Watch. The community of blogs dedicated to the Minnesota anti-PRT propagandist just grew by 100%!

Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Hey kids! Heave-to for the words of Kaptain K@n, the Skeptical Terror of the High Seas (Lake Superior):


And where be his answer t' See His Right-Wing Connection (9/7)? Has he no answer, Jim-lad? Does his silence mean acknowledgement -- that his ship-mates be right-flippers? Be he offline while attendin' a Birch Society jamboree? Ahoy Kap'n K@n, what colors be ye flying from your mast?
