I hate Xangan drama. Sometimes however, it’s a necessary evil. For all of you who don’t know, then this is your heads up. A certain blogger of movie reviews is creating mass Xanga accounts to rec his own posts to shove himself to top blogs. The fact alone that he does this, deserves a public reprimand from our community. He does not deserve a slot on the front page of Xanga. His peers are not sending him there by overwhelming support and approval of his writing, but he sends himself there by rec’ing and commenting his own posts. He should have our pity for doing such a thing, and our collective rebuke.

Fwd : from buddly47:

All of his created troll sites are friend locked or brand new accounts with no posts or comments except comments from him. And their user names are ones I don’t think any of us will recognize.

Let’s get him taken down?

His latest entry is here.

The other day he was no. 3 on top blogs with 49 rec’s. 44 of them were from his own troll sites. WTF?

Thanks Buddly for the heads up!

I think that in the end, “filmtub” will get tired of logging in and out of 40-50 different accounts, each with its own username and password.

To set each of those accounts up, “filmtub” had to have a distinct email address. Now this can be done with Gmail, Yahoo! or Hotmail, but still, it’s a lot of headache, considering the meager returns.

Another way “filmtub” could do it is to have a separate computer for each account, in addition to a separate email address and password. This way, “filmtub” wouldn’t have to spend the time logging in and out of each account. But in this case, the extra space required, the extra expense on the electric bill, the additional heat all of these machines would generate . . . .

Or “filmtub” could pay unemployed college students to set up these accounts and post the requisite comments. That seems to be the way that message board spammers get around the CAPTCHA requirements.

No matter how it’s being done, I think “filmtub” will soon return to more lucrative ventures, like sending out email spams for penis-enlargement pills, “r0llex” watches and the like. Why? Blogging is a “pull” type of marketing, where you have to entice the prospective reader to click the link and read the page, whereas email spamming is a “push” type of advertising, where the message ends up in the recipient’s inbox regardless of their wishes. Much as people complain about spammers, they must be making some money off it, or they wouldn’t do it.

New Mexico Turn Around posts a challenge for the rest of us —

CHALLENGE: In 100 words suggest a solution for the economic mess toward which we head.

Oh, really?

Here’s my response — let’s see if I actually need the full 100 words . . .

1. Cut spending across the board — no special handouts for anyone.
2. Cut taxes across the board — no special breaks for anyone.
3. Repeal regulations across the board — no special breaks for anyone.
4. Repeal bad, wasteful laws across the board — no special breaks for anyone.
5. Bring the troops home from Iraq, Afghanistan and everywhere else.
6. Return to a sound money system (gold? silver?) for government transactions.
7. Repeal legal tender laws.
8. Repeal any law repugnant to the written U.S. Constitution or Bill of Rights.

I count 80 words.

And I dared to use That Word Which Shall Not Be Uttered In Contemporary Politics — “repeal” — not just once, but four times! Shame on me!

1. Re: Tom Mullins — Landmines on the (U.S.—Mexican) Border
   

   Why is the military complex and our occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan never mentioned on this blog?

   I think you answered your own question in the preceding sentences (not that I disagree at all) —
   

   (1) Republicans in NM are not willing to accept the ‘ex-vet against the war’ positioning (see John Kerry)
   (2) NM is very dependent on the federal dollar spent in this state on military. Kirkland, after all, is the state’s number one employer.

   On your point (1), I think that the big-government hawks of the GOP let Larry Bailey and Co. conduct a Swift Boat-type smear campaign against Adam. Since Mullins gave every appearance (to me, at least) of being quite eager to jump on board the smear campaign, while he says he’s not part of the GOP Machine, he’s doing its bidding, and thus deserves the title of Coggie (see above).

   Thus Mullins seems (again, to me) to be quite content to be an unwitting Coggie, and I cannot in good conscience extend the slightest increment of support to the Mullins Campaign.

   Isn’t repelling invasions a big part of what the Second Amendment is all about? Let’s not look to Washington DC for answers — that’s a big part of how the “border problem” got started in the first place. If we cleaned out the District of Criminals, ended the welfare state and ended Drug Prohibition, the “border problem” would cease being any sort of problem.

   Freedom is the answer — what’s the question?
