Hmmmmm

I'm a little angry right now. Someone I really respect crossed a line that I believe shouldn't have been crossed while perpretrating his annual April 1st blogprank.

In all other respects, I thought that the prank was masterfully done; indeed he managed to garner support from the Moonbat community in defense of his (supposed) views, which is equivilent to the chickens protecting Col. Sanders, and truly fun to watch.

BUT then Misha took that one step too far and in his "Ian" personna attacked the troops, calling them everything that the Moonbats used to apply to my generation of troops returning from Viet Nam...."baby killers", "murderers in uniform", "govt. backed rapists" etc,etc,etc.

I understand WHY Misha did it, to make his prank as authentic as possible, and I believe it was probably extremely difficult for him to put those words onto his cyber-paper, indeed, he stated in the comments of the reveal post of the prank that that action caused him to want to "bathe in acid to get the slime off".

And THAT is where my anger comes about...it's bad enough that there are those Moonbats honestly stoopid enough to espouse such garbage views...but to put them out in cyberspace in contradiction of every view you truly hold dear, for the furtherance of a prank.....I'm sorry Misha, but that "slimy feeling" you felt was deserved. In one sense, you were using the troops every bit as badly as Cindy Sheet-han did when she put up her "graveyard of the fallen' in Crawford; from a Moonbat, you expect it, but from YOU; it's a far drop indeed.

1 I agree most wholeheartedly with you Delftsman3. You are saying something that I sensed that a number of LCs at the Rott felt but didn't want to explicitly say out loud. In addition to your complaint, I would add that it caused a number of Rott faithful to waste huge amounts of time and ammo on a phantom cause. Maybe some of those that felt particularly burned will return to participate but this was the quintisential crying wolf situation that tends to alienate rather than build camaraderie. Had it happened ON April Fools Day and was only one prank (instead of the two - fake web nemesis, fake hack attack) and that was it, maybe it could have been funny and clever. As it was, it went on too long and to the degree that that Misha's liberal IT guy was the one having the fun at the expense of his ideological enemies. In one post he gloated about how funny it all was saying "I sat on the bleachers and watched the race — laughing my head off." When I read that comment and several others he made about the whole thing, I had to rethink my reaction to the whole "prank".

2 Well said, my friend. It is sad that the great Misha felt he had to stoop so low. I won't be reading the piece. Your description was enough.
