Before responding/reacting to this post, please follow those links and read both posts to be certain I have not already addressed your concerns. (I haven't said much on the Biblical aspects of this situation, but I have laid out the earthly facts as far as they concern this author and this blog.)

Meh. It sort of makes sense that the delusional would jump to the defense of the deluded. Professional courtesy.
The direct involvement of mythological creatures is clearly far more likely to explain the situation than the simple fact that Donalde is an asshole.
Sir, I am at your service for such an awesome and concise observation.
Nice group of links you found there, Reppy. I'm grateful you didn't rename the blog, "American Sack of Meat," anyway. Did you offer Zilla the chance to put us on the bloglist of Douglas supporters?
BTW, I did at least learn that progressivism is in its death throes. Apparently they haven't seen their presidential candidates.
"I'm grateful you didn't rename the blog, "American Sack of Meat," "
Naah... First off, it's not a Douglas line, said or endorsed by repetition, and second, I've always preferred the term "meat puppet."
"Did you offer Zilla the chance to put us on the bloglist of Douglas supporters?"
Obviously, I considered it... But I'm not really a Douglas supporter, and she has so many sweeping generalizations about and invective toward "The Left," as well as swallowing whole-heartedly every paranoid conspiracy theory and version of truth that Don offered without the slightest bit of skepticism or rational thought, that I couldn't in good conscience sign on, there, even if Zilla would deign to allow it.
Instead, I'm going to write a post in support of the right to speak your mind online without having folks drag irrelevant things and uninvolved people from your offline world into the discussion in response / retaliation. (even though it's now gonna look like it was your idea... My fault for being slow on the trigger... 8>)
With all respect due the folks past and present who('ve) frequent(ed) this place and who've threatened to or actually engaged in this behavior, I have to say it again...
Aside trying to prevent violence or exploitation, there is no good reason to contact the employer (or friends, family, neighbors, place of worship, school, ..., ...) of a person you're having an online disagreement with. While I don't believe that each of the people who contacted LBCC was doing so to get Donald Douglas reprimanded or fired (regardless of what he claims), every person who did so made an ethical error in judgement and wronged the poor guy.
Online disagreements should stay online.
Words and deeds that violate one's use and enjoyment of their blogging or social media platform (like online stalking or harassment) should be reported to the terms of service folks of those platforms, or the aggressor's ISP.
Threats of violence or vandalism, whether made offline or on, as well as any ACTUAL violence or vandalism, should be reported to the police.
Online slander and libel is best handled by one's lawyer.
The response to bigotry and other such character flaws is bright sunlight, shone and spotlighted in the same kind of media venues where the bigoted speech or action takes place.
As best as I can recall, these reasons--or variations on these themes--were the ones offered by the folks who threatened to or did contact LBCC about Donald Douglas. NONE of these are sufficient reasons to get a person's employer involved in an online dispute, no matter how ugly it gets.
That's my statement, more or less. It's not contingent on the political or social beliefs of the victim or the aggressor. Taking an online disagreement offline and directly into a person's real life relationships and dealings is ALWAYS wrong. It doesn't matter how poorly the victim behaved before folks started contacting his/her place of employment. It doesn't matter if the person threatened to do it to you, first. Two (or more) wrongs don't make a right, or justify bad behavior.
(I'm thinkin' that'll be the post... though I may add some stuff below it in response to some of the nonsense offered / repeated in the blog posts listed above.) I probably won't go out of my way to gather co-signers the way Zilla, et alia have... ...but all who read it and agree are welcome to sign on...
The Morningstar is puny and weak, and remains uninvolved in this sphere.
Douglass promised himself to me in exchange for the help of the Elder Ones with his tenure difficulties. We are merely reminding him that a bill will soon be due. Bargains must be kept.
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
We will come, Douglass. Never forget.
I think renaming AN "Truth 101 Has Large Nihilist Wiener" would have been a good idea Reppy.
Or bette yet, "Nihilist Minister of Hate, Truth 101" Has Big Wiener."
It's tempting, Truth... It's tempting...
...but it'd have to be "Truth 101 Has Large AMERICAN Nihilist Wiener" or "AMERICAN Nihilist Minister of Hate, Truth 101" Has Big Wiener."...
Also, I think we'd have to change it from "Wiener" to Hot Dog, in keeping with that all American (nihilist) theme... I mean, you are still serving that big thing with Freedom Fries on the side, aren't you?
"Also, I think we'd have to change it from "Wiener" to Hot Dog, in keeping with that all American (nihilist) theme..."
I mean, this isn't German-stan-istan, is it?
This is America, fuckers, and all who don't like it, or go around inserting foreign meat substances into their bodies, should be damned all to Hell!!
AmIRite, or AmIRite?
Fuck yeah, I'm right... and don't you forget it.
I don't think the chicks would be impressed if I told em my "hot dog" was big.
I ain't trying to score with Kobiyashi man.
I don't know what that was about, but I deleted the 7 superfluous repeats of your comment, Truth...
(I'm guessing it was a computer glitch, and not an intentional missive showing how much you want ...erb..I mean, DON'T want... that Kobiyashi, man...)
((Or should that be "Kobiyashi man?"))
Takeru Kobayashi
OK... I'm hip, man... I get it... (and I guess BOTH "Kobayashi, man" and "Kobayashi man" would be appropriate, wouldn't they...?)
And just so's you know, I wouldn't even put Anthony Wiener too near that guy, just in case...
Damned foreigners...
