I hope you won't mind if I step in to clarify a few things... (I'm not even going to bother with the specious ad hom and misunderstanding of my political views, as none of it is germane to the topic at hand...)

It seems the chief instigator of the attacks on Prof. Douglas is one W. James Casper, a liberal socialist who has become so enamored with the destruction of Prof. Douglas that of Casper’s six different liberal blogs he personally writes, he has devoted voluminous space on three of them just to his attacks on Prof. Douglas. One of these blogs contains numerous posts offering the most insightful and elucidating verbiage “ROTFLMFAO!!, WHOO HOO!!, BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!, & LOL!!!” written repeatedly, hundreds of times, as if Mr. Casper were an obsessive compulsive on speed.

Only one blog, American Nihilist, regularly discusses Dr. Douglas. (The man has a Ph.D... Show him some respect.) A second, What'd I Say, is a catch-all for everything I put out there, from cross posts from my other blogs, to this very comment, whether or not you choose to allow it to show up here at your blog... (after it's written and submitted, of course...) The third, called Malicious Content--the one you reference here with all of the “ROTFLMFAO!!, WHOO HOO!!, BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!, & LOL!!!” nonsense, is a blog dedicated to recording trollage and spam, and the particular "elucidating verbiage" you refer to are word-for-word transcripts of comments made by the very guy you're defending, Dr. Douglas. That said, I agree with your characterizations of both the comments themselves and the person who wrote them.

As for whether or not I'm instigating attacks on Dr. Douglas, the only one's I'll accept credit for are my own--most of which, especially of late, have been responses to posts and comments made by Dr. Douglas, and all of which never leave the blog realm... (...with one exception... I do own a "Sasquatch Israel" tee-shirt, which I obviously wear in my offline world.)

Any suggestion that anyone has ever contacted the college where Dr. Douglas is employed, or has in any way taken any online disagreement with Dr. Douglas into his real life world at my bidding or for my benefit is quite simply wholly unsubstantiated paranoid nonsense cooked up by Dr. Douglas himself, for reasons that remain unclear...

"Casper (not to be confused with Casper the Friendly Ghost, who is actually quite benign) seems to want to curtail Prof. Douglas’s First Amendment right to free speech, while at the same time demanding he be allowed to continue defaming Douglas’s character, assumedly in the hopes that Douglas would be fired from his job."

Leaving aside the fact that only the government can curtail anyone's First Amendment rights, and I'm just a private citizen, exactly what leads you to the conclusion that I want to curtail Dr. Douglas' speech or have him fired from his job in the first place, particularly since I repeatedly say quite the opposite in my posts and comments, including speaking out clearly and consistently against those who've contacted the college where Dr. Douglas is employed--the impetus for Zilla's initial post, and thus this one, as well? Is there some specific link(s), post(s), or comment(s) that you can reference in support of your claims, or is this just some vague feeling you have when the moon rises, and the bats take wing?

"Perhaps we should each make a concerted effort to Google search the names W. James Casper and Repsac3, find out what sites he is commenting on, and flag each of his comments as offensive. Perhaps if enough of us do this, Casper will find himself banned throughout the web, and be forced back to the liberal socialist sty from whence he came."

Golly... Talk about limiting one's speech...

Isn't that a little cowardly, Thom? Wouldn't it be braver and far more honest to answer my posts and comments with posts and comments of your own--perhaps quoting and citing the things I actually say this time, of course--and beat me fair and square in the marketplace of ideas, right there at the posts where I'm spouting off?

I mean, I'm just sayin'...

UPDATE: Added (another) link to Robert's post (the title, below), for anyone who might've thought the other two contained in this post weren't sufficient.

While folks like Donald and Robert here want to hide what those they disagree with have to say by moderating their comment sections for content and limiting the number of verbatim quotes, citations, and links they use when blogging, I want nothing more than to give folks every opportunity to read exactly what they have to say, in all of it's contextual glory, and thus will quote and link to their exact words as often as I can... ...and sure, I'll even add a few if they don't feel I've given them enough "Look at ME!!!" time.

Please, go look at them. Read what they have to say. Weigh their arguments (as well as the arguments of those who disagree with 'em, of course), judge as fairly as your conscience allows, and come to your own conclusions. I ask for nothing more. And I ask for nothing less.

Liberal Socialist Attacks College Professor - Independent Realist

As we are all too familiar with, liberal socialist attacks on conservatives is commonplace. Whether at the various “Occupy” protests around our country, or on the many conservative blogs, or even from the Oval Office itself, these folks just can’t seem to help themselves. Whenever they are faced with truth (which happens anytime anyone takes an unbiased look into their beliefs) they come unglued. Along with their usual bag of tricks which include ad hominem attacks, circular reasoning, name calling, yelling incoherently, mindless chants, illogical babbling and outright lies, we can now add libelous attacks designed to destroy lives and livelihoods.

I first learned about the attacks on Professor Donald Douglas through a very insightful and well written article over at the Zilla of the Resistance blog. Entitled Stand Against Evil – Never Let it Win, Zilla’s article outlines just what has been happening to Prof. Douglas. By the way, in case you didn’t know, Prof. Douglas is the author of the American Power blog.

It seems the chief instigator of the attacks on Prof. Douglas is one W. James Casper, a liberal socialist who has become so enamored with the destruction of Prof. Douglas that of Casper’s six different liberal blogs he personally writes, he has devoted voluminous space on three of them just to his attacks on Prof. Douglas. One of these blogs contains numerous posts offering the most insightful and elucidating verbiage “ROTFLMFAO!!, WHOO HOO!!, BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!, & LOL!!!” written repeatedly, hundreds of times, as if Mr. Casper were an obsessive compulsive on speed.

After spending the day reading all six of Mr. Casper’s blogs (stopping only for the occasional trip to the porcelain throne – you know what they say “what goes in, comes out”), but refraining from reading his Huffington Post comments (leftist drivel rarely changes, and Casper’s doesn’t), I came to the conclusion that W. James Casper needs to loosen the hat band on his tin foil cap, and try ever so hard to come up with something original. Well, actually I guess he did in that most liberal socialists do not spend such an exorbitant amount of time (and bandwidth) trying to destroy someone simply because of their views. And that seems to be the crux of the issue with W. James Casper (aka: Repsac3), namely Prof. Douglas’s views. Casper (not to be confused with Casper the Friendly Ghost, who is actually quite benign) seems to want to curtail Prof. Douglas’s First Amendment right to free speech, while at the same time demanding he be allowed to continue defaming Douglas’s character, assumedly in the hopes that Douglas would be fired from his job.

But alas, isn’t defamation of character just another tool in the liberal socialist bag of tricks? Of course it is. And if Casper manages to get his way, and Prof. Douglas is terminated from his position, well, then of course his family will suffer, but I am sure that Casper will consider them “collateral damage.”

All in all, W. James Casper is a liberal socialist troll, and a troll of the first order. His blogs reflect this, his comments on other blogs reflect this, his tweets reflect this, and his Facebook wall reflects this. Unfortunately, conservatives do not engage in the same style of tactics used by W. James Wilson, otherwise he would likely find his blogs and twitter feed and Facebook wall flooded by the comments of conservatives outraged by his reprehensible actions. Of course, the lack of such a flood only encourages and emboldens cretins such as W. James Wilson to continue their attack on truth. Wilson has been banned not only on Prof. Douglas’s blog, but also on Andrew Breitbart’s site as well. Perhaps we should each make a concerted effort to Google search the names W. James Casper and Repsac3, find out what sites he is commenting on, and flag each of his comments as offensive. Perhaps if enough of us do this, Casper will find himself banned throughout the web, and be forced back to the liberal socialist sty from whence he came. Because if he isn’t stopped, then he will just continue. Why? Because this is what trolls do, whether they are liberal socialists like Casper, or islamic terrorists. The lack of a concerted effort to stop them just encourages them to continue what they are doing, and we must ask ourselves, is Prof. Douglas the only target, and who will be next? Just a thought.
