Terry Dean, Nemmers, better known around here as Comma, wouldn’t do that, would he? He wrote a screed to the Monitors list this morning, didn’t he? I won’t include the text here, though, will I, since he also posted the whole thing and more on his website, hasn’t he? He’s also collecting IP addresses of all visitors, so I’m sure he’d be thrilled to get more, wouldn’t he?
zenlike says
I spotted at least one sentence in that screed that didn’t end with a ‘question’. Is Comma slipping?
PZ Myers says
He forgot a question mark? We’ve got him now! That sentence will sound his death knell in the kangaroo court we’ll be convening.
zenlike says
The funny thing of course is that Comma’s writing contains various libellous statements (which he makes ‘opinions’ by adding a stupid question at the end of the sentence), while accusing PZ of slander.
The not so funny thing is that he clearly is part of the sovereign citizen movement, and that they have used physical violence in the past.
tsig says
PZ said, “where you want this inciting done” and the lord said “Right here on highway 61”
Beatrice, an amateur cynic looking for a happy thought says
You wouldn’t publish his screed on your site, PZ, would you? An innocent person would do that, wouldn’t they?
You are guilty as sin, Myers, and that’s why you link to his blog, don’t you?
… er, I forgot, what are you guilty of anyway?
janiceintoronto says
Would anyone actually read all that nonsense?
He needs a web developer, what a mishmash of crap. The site is unreadable and completely lunatic.
What drugs is he on? I want some. They must be very powerful.

A Sovereign Citizen believing that phrasing the same bullshit in a different way changes the content?

EVERYBODY!
…wait, where are you all going…?
slithey tove (twas brillig (stevem)) says
WTF is this all about, Comma? Somebody defaced those FREE papers left out in public for anyone to take. Why is it so important for YOU to singlehandedly abduct the perpetrator of this heinous act? Yes, Myers hated that politically conservy charged rag of a paper. Is he the ONLY one who might hate that paper? Is it really a crime to “deface” a paper, freely available for any passerby to collect? Do you have some hidden agenda against PZ? What do you freethinkers think? Would police suspect an innocent Professor of defacement if he wasn’t the perp? What do you think? Would an innocent man refuse to confess a legitimate alibi? Would Comma attack an innocent professor? Wouldn’t Comma only go after the actual perpetrator of heinous activity? What do you think?

well, I think I cannot continue this masquerade of disguising assertions as questions. Even pretending they are ‘rhetorical questions’, makes my brain hurt. whine whine whaaaaa.

*Channels Culture Club*
There’s delusion in his eyes all the way
If you listen to his lies would you say
He’s a man without rational conviction
He’s a man who doesn’t know
His argument is a contradiction
Comma comes and goes, he comes and goes
He’s Comma, Comma, Comma Chameleon,
He comes and goes, he comes and goes
Lying would be easy if your blogposts were like his dreams
Libelous and obscene, libelous and obscene
Comma hears your wicked words everyday
And you used to be so evil, he heard you say
That university run SWAT teams were an addiction
When he clings to his fantasies delusion is strong
When he goes you know he won’t be gone for long
Gone for long, gone for long
He’s Comma, Comma, Comma Chameleon,
He comes and goes, he comes and goes
Lying would be easy if your blogposts were like his dreams
Libelous and obscene, libelous and obscene
Every day is whining season
You’re his obession, he needs no reason
Every day is whining season
You’re his obsession, he needs to reason
He’s a man without rational conviction
He’s a man who doesn’t know
His argument is a contradiction
Comma comes and goes, he comes and goes
He’s Comma, Comma, Comma Chameleon,
He comes and goes, he comes and goes
Lying would be easy if your blogposts were like his dreams
Libelous and obscene, libelous and obscene
He’s Comma, Comma, Comma Chameleon,
He comes and goes, he comes and goes
Lying would be easy if your blogposts were like his dreams
Libelous and obscene, libelous and obscene
He’s Comma, Comma, Comma Chameleon,
He comes and goes, he comes and goes
Lying would be easy if your blogposts were like his dreams
Libelous and obscene, libelous and obscene
Comma, Comma, Comma, Comma Chameleon

azpaul3 says
Good lord, Dr. Myers, I didn’t know that about you, did I? Well, yes, I guess I did since I’ve read you blog for some time now, haven’t I? I have to wonder though, don’t I? Terry Dean, Nemmers coulda went and defaced those UMM sanctioned student newspapers just to spite you, couldn’t he? You did something to make him bring his good Christian outrage against you, didn’t you?
I have an idea, don’t I? On your blogs about LGBT rights you have made it plain to all that you, personally, don’t swing that way, do you? You support homosexual rights and freedoms even though you waste your own libido on … a married woman, don’t you? And that married woman is your own wife, isn’t she? How typically heterosexual of you, isn’t it?
That’s it, isn’t it? You ruined poor Terry Dean, Nemmers’ dreams of ever making homosexual advances toward you, didn’t you? You rejected his advances before they were even made by so openly not being gay, didn’t you? Oh, poor Terry Dean, Nemmers, isn’t he?
Probably not, but I think my fantasy sounded good.
Didn’t it?

Lofty says
Hey, Comma, you can now stop harassing the poor PZ, because you’ve got the wrong person. I’ll short circuit your quest for revenge right now, by admitting that I, the Amazing Lofty, did it. From my lofty eyrie at Castle Crag, I used my patent Spam Tin Helmet, to focus my brain waves on 666 poor schmucks, to make them go, and pick up one free paper each, look at them, recoil in horror, and instantly deface, all 666 copies.
So there, Comma!!!!!! You’re next!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’re doooooooooooooooooomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will control you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my, when I wrote my #8 at 1:30 AM I considered that it might not be a good idea. You see, for folks who were aware when that song was popular it’s a horrible ear worm. And I can see by Gregory’s #12 that that is still the case. :)
Mind you, your adaptation is fantastic Gregory. It made me laugh, so I guess it’s all good. Cheers.

Wellllll….., it does look like he has the “twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explainin’ what” it was equivalent doesn’t it?
spamamander, internet amphibian says
Damnit Lofty, quit abusing the Spam.
Nick Gotts says
Well no, it didn’t, because it’s an example of the pernicious trope identifying unpleasant behaviour as a result of unacknowledged same-sex attraction – which is, in effect if not intention, homophobic. Please don’t use it.

The mildly deranged penguin was unable to read the entire

I’m not so sure, as no peas seem to be involved; ergo, it’s the waste emissions from the rejected farts of a eejit so stoooopid it so less than bog-standard that a new level of inanity will probably have to defined. And that’s only if you consider the substance rather than the tone…Gregory Greenwood says

Apparently PZ’s nickname is “Mr. Logical Fallacy”. And apparently Comma isn’t only obsessed with PZ. There are other targets, most of them local. Here is the post of his just prior to his post about PZ: http://lionnews00.blogspot.com/2015/05/unapologetic-slanderer-randy-olson.html

@ blf
Firmly and fully agreed. And I realized that I should have edited my previously quoted sentence to make sense in the context of what I was trying to say… but clearly people got it, so no harm done.
