Get your fill of sci-fi, science, and mockery of stupid ideas

If you consider the sort of people she's dealing with (aside from her syncophants that is.) then that makes perfect sense. I suppose its sort of an "appeal to authority" mentality, like "I'm an important person, I'm used to dealing with facts, you can believe me when I say I'm right because I say so." When you couple this fact with her rather aggressive "information suppression" tactics (especially of recurring criticism and of past events, particularily through her flunkies) her tactics are rather obvious.Darth Wong wrote:Does she expect people to be impressed by her constant self-declarations of being a "journo"?

Being a journalist is like being a singer, a psychic, or a poet: You can be one just by claiming to be one. It's not like being a doctor, lawyer or engineer where you have to meet certain standards. A "journo" is someone who is too much of a phony to be a journalist. That kind of sums up Traviss to a tee.Darth Wong wrote:Does she expect people to be impressed by her constant self-declarations of being a "journo"?

Moose and I know you weren't involved, A.Y. Don't worry.
Sadly, I'm told that your PLB blog has already had a visit from the gentleman who made the hate video about me (the one that was banned by Youtube for offensive content) , and who has a long record of abuse against both me and Moose. He tracks me (and I believe Moose too) around the internet by Googe alert, posting abusive material, and now he's found you all at PLB. Consider it a heads up...I'm sure you'll get more visits from his friends too to try to recruit you to the cause.
And by the way - nobody is remotely interested in the "elitist" thing. It's completely irrelevant.
LMAO! Like we would even want those dickless pansies on our side.Karen Traviss wrote:Consider it a heads up...I'm sure you'll get more visits from his friends too to try to recruit you to the cause.
Exactly. I've considered posting about this whole debacle at some other forums that I go to, but I haven't because I just know that KT Jelly would come over with Dark Moose in tow. I mean, she fucking posts on Amazon.com where people briefly comment about her books, and no-name forums with 5 active members like Bryan Lambert's.Mange wrote:LOL! The question is who tracks who.
The mere mention of her name is enough to bring her into a forum, and I like those other places that I mentioned too much to see them dragged into this shit.She hasn't got the guts. This is the one SW forum on the Internet where the majority doesn't give a shit if she's a "VIP" and won't tolerate her bullshit.Ender wrote:Odd she hasn't rolled in here yet then.
Yeah, rather have people who can back up their arguments and not get starstruck than people who fold at the first sign of dissent from a "celebrity".Like we would even want those dickless pansies on our side.
She knows that the standards of debate she favors (the ones in which Dark Douche outlaws requests for evidence) are not tolerated here, and that we wouldn't stand for her bullshit "journo" and "abuse" lines.Ender wrote:Odd she hasn't rolled in here yet then.
Like that's a burden.Crown wrote:I'm so disgusted with this whole affair that I'm with Elfdart on this;

I hope so. I've got my fingers crossed that the upcoming TV show will do just that. The prequels certainly flushed a lot of EU nonsense.she's like the biblical flood washing the entire, shitty, craptacular EU down the drain.
I can't wait for George to start slapping 'Infinities' logos on everything that he sees.
Would you really roll into a forum full of angry Star Wars fans who actually use scientific principles to debate SWvsST, won't accept what you write because it goes against all common sense, and can't be whipped back by the mod you're paying?Ender wrote:Odd she hasn't rolled in here yet then.
It would actually be to DM's credit (relatively) if he was doing all this shit for money. As it is, all appearances indicate that he's just a pathetic asskissing, starstruck dork.loomer wrote:and can't be whipped back by the mod you're paying?

She won't come here becuase she doesn't need to. All she's needed to do is suppress her critics on other venues (IE TFN) while simultaneously peddling her own propoganda. That hardly needs stepping into a forum where she would be expected (God forbid) to actually discuss the issue.Master of Ossus wrote:She knows that the standards of debate she favors (the ones in which Dark Douche outlaws requests for evidence) are not tolerated here, and that we wouldn't stand for her bullshit "journo" and "abuse" lines.Ender wrote:Odd she hasn't rolled in here yet then.
She probably read the Announcement forums and realised that she would get banned for not adhering to PR1 (she'd try and use Mando'a), PR3 (we were told not to put hard numbers in, actually were weren't, were, were't), DR2 (she's already inviolation of that), DR4, DR5, DR6, DR7, AR1 and probably AR4.Ender wrote:Odd she hasn't rolled in here yet then.
Hell, she'd be banned before she even made her first post! I'd love to see that parting shots entry.Crown wrote:She probably read the Announcement forums and realised that she would get banned for not adhering to PR1 (she'd try and use Mando'a), PR3 (we were told not to put hard numbers in, actually were weren't, were, were't), DR2 (she's already inviolation of that), DR4, DR5, DR6, DR7, AR1 and probably AR4.
HOLLY FUCKING SHIT! She's a fucking troll by our standards, from her online behaivour. I did not realise that prior to starting to respond in this tread!
I think she'd be invited to argue her position and then used for a chewtoy. Might even happen without much flaming initially, but since she'll only play with a deck stacked in her favor, as it were, the whole point is moot.Arrow wrote:Hell, she'd be banned before she even made her first post!

We Won...
I don't know if any of you saw our conversation, but TBL and I had a nice friendly chat back at his blog. I decided that enough was enough. I'm not saying I "showed him", but yesterday, I checked on his blog at bluevanguard.blogspot.com. Nothing. Error 404, cannot find requested blog. As you've undoubtedly noticed today, his comments no longer plague our existence. He backed down.
TBL, a troll and a coward. It'd be a shame if he were a sw.com MOD, but then again, I wouldn't be surprised if he were. He was constantly talking to me about how "tolerant" the MODs are being with the PLB, and how they've stored the deleted comments from the little tooth-and-claw fight back there a while ago. However, another possibility is that he's just a bitter, anti-PLB troll who likes to scare us out of our pants.
Either way, he backed down, and I'm pouring another round of PGGBs for three reasons: 1), in celebration, 2), just because, and 3), it's my birthday.
Drink to your heart's content, or until your brain has had enough abuse for today...
