This has occurred over and over again for probably four years. Smokey, DBS (Da Bullshyt Spreader) gets a snootfull of my pointing out this or that problem with a conclusion from a guest post or actually running Reflubitcans down and they put me in heavy moderation or ban me for a while. Then they get pumping the flying monkeys up on a ridiculously big rant for a while and fix it where I cannot comment to show where they'd be wrong.<br /><br />They tell everyone not to respond to my comments, because I put it on 'em. Maybe over a third of my comments fly off and never make it. I've also had the pleasure of making 'Mr Godd Progressives are Just Eeevil ad nauseum' lose his cool. Wait, he doesn't possess any...<br /><br />That dinosaur reminds me of Da Bullshyt Spreader, he is a monster. The West Coast group is full of people who are badly misinformed, yet think they know everything. These flying crazies could well be the end of us all, I fear.

The most producti...This one especially grabbed me:<br /><br /><i>The most productive regions of the world, food wise, are the tropics. Indonesia, with a land area of 1.9 million square kilometres, 1/5 the size of the USA, supports a population of 237 million people – many of whom survive by subsistence agriculture. If the USA had a similar climate to tropical Indonesia, it could potentially support a population of 1.8 billion people – even using the subsistence agriculture employed by many Indonesians.</i><br /><br />Perhaps like me he's seen the hand-dug dry rice terraces outside Ubud, Bali, and like me thought them both amazingly aesthetic and functional. But wait a minute, what's this talk of subsistence agriculture he's talking about? The whole idea of drill baby drill isn't about subsistence, it's about GROWTH! I also wonder if he's ever sat in the back seat of a taxi in Jakarta looking on in 1st World horror as an 8 year-old child scurried around barefoot in traffic selling trinkets and what-not to stopped motorists with his 3-year old, also shoeless, sister in tow? Or watched from an air-conditioned hotel room as the trains creep along at < 20 km/h into/out of the central business districts during rush hour with nearly as many people sitting on top of (if not clinging to) the cars as are jammed inside?<br /><br />And just where are the Indonesians going to go live when the temperate regions of the planet are as hot as equatorial countries are today? They're closer to the Outback -- is it predicted to get more rain? I didn't think so. And certainly not any less hot.<br /><br />Does he have any friggin' idea how flat-out bonkers most Americans would go having a similar population density combined with such an impoverished subsistence economy?<br /><br />The comment thread is just downhill from there. I think perhaps people shouldn't casually fling the word "misanthrope" around until they've actually looked up the meaning of the word.Brandon R.
