I had no idea I was being discussed....

zactly

and it was a clever idea by graystone

he started his 'mob' rampage

sadly for him the 'mob' didn't show or participate

so he started cross linking to get his 'mob'

that didn't work too well, so he then named every poster who took offense to granny's indefensible post as a moron

he needed 'mob' activity to defend his position, so he's been baiting for about 3 days now, last night the all out bait

[I've seen some outrageous egging on, but none as transparent or blatantly malicious as the pathetic attempt demonstrated between here and the Let's Argue thread]

as they hear about their names being mentioned and come here to see or respond, graystone will have his hoped for 'mob' and can then thinks he has proved his point

it's not easy rounding up a 'mob where none exists

but at a cost

he came into this as a harmless eccentric and is leaving with his reputation in rags

it's sad

the whole thing was sad, from the indefensible moronic first post by granny to his misdirected moronic defense of her post

Hi Gloop,

This is an incredible case-- incredible in the sense of being just unbelievably sad. And we're learning more every day, it seems. I'm stunned that Vang was a trained sharpshooter in the CA National Guard. My feeling at this point is that he snapped and methodically murdered those people.

FWIW, I felt that Grainne's comment was awful and told her so publicly. I wish she had apologized. But I also think that a number of SI people have been acting foolishly about this incident with her and I hope it stops soon. IMO the anger should be directed at Vang for the murders, not at Grainne for a really stupid post.
