Yes, that was my daughter, you are correct. Her face was not clear on purpose, in one picture and in the other she had on sunglasses, I used the avatar for one day and I CLEARLY it was my daughter, whose permission I had to use it. That was NOT the daughter that Methadras and Aridog posted a picture of.
I was being hounded by Edutcher and Trooper York, saying my daughter who was in th military was a fake. I asked her if I could use her pic, she said yes, absolutely and thought it was pretty damn shitty of Trooper York and Edutcher.
Not really. It's been pretty good until right now. Obviously some people want it to be better, and some have other priorities for the moment. I say let that moment pass and don't go back to it again. That will require voluntary cooperation from more than one person and the discipline to continue it for the good of us all, please?
I apologize for something. Whatever it is this time, I'm usually the last one to see it. It's not bad character, it's lack of character, but I'm just a kid, and it takes a while.
Deborah, apology accepted. EVERY single thing I have shared about myself and my family is true. I am a REAL person with real feelings and real children.
And shame on you for standing by and watching me get bullied for two years. Lem, I apologize for this disruption, but I can only take so much abuse.
Anybody else wants to post my real full name or that of my children, expect that I will reciprocate. I won't commen here anymore, but I will be reading it. Fair warning.
Its more your our place... I know that sounds corny. but that's the point I've trying to make since the beginning. I'm a commenter who wants to comment with the Althouse gang. I thought it was gone and then you guys found me and I wake up one day and I'm receiving donations from strangers. and all because I wanted to continue doing something I started doing since 2008.

Lem, Meade married up from commenter status a while ago on Althouse.
Hey Meade, I bet you do appreciate what Lem is doing. I wish I could find someone to take over my job, and save my wife from daily abuse for 52 bucks a year. You sure that's all it's worth? It should be worth at least 100 times what the rest of us mere visitors give.
I say we should focus our obsessive collective indignation on the Althouse/fionamagee/sockpuppet scandal or Alt-Fiona-House for short. (I'm open to negotiation on the naming.)
As Meade said this morning: Life and Time move onward.
"Eric Holder’s Department of Justice had solicited the public for information about George that could help a federal civil rights prosecution. The DOJ has even set up an email address for tips on Zimmerman." ~ Breitbart News
Isn't that special. Aren't we proud of what a lazy, ill educated, indiscriminate, and unserious electorate have wrought in such a short time.
And just as in Orwell's story, the Two Minute Hate has turned into a full Hate Week. It's just like Shark Week, and just as much fun for the whole family!
When I was a kid there was a hip paperback collection of writings from underground high school newspapers. It was titled, "How Old Will You Be in 1984?"
"Of all the young black shooting victims in this country, you can name 1. Because you've been trained like a circus seal to bark on command." ~ Iowahawk
creeley, we're living in a weird mix of Orwell's 1984, Huxley's Brave New World and some really weird shit from Philip K. Dick, perhaps synthesized by John Brunner. (Stand On Zanzibar seems particularly relevant, if memory serves.)
It is a strange, strange world, lacking a functioning reality, to lift a phrase from "Earth vs. the Flying Saucers".
And I'm still interested in commenter meetups! With or without Althouse and Meade. I've met 5 Althousians so far and all were lovely people. My friends now. A few I've yet to meet are what I consider real-life friends just the same.
I don't recall Meth ever being banned. He was there right up to the end of the comments, so color me just a tad skeptical.
Inga said...
I didn't start commenting on Althouse until 2011.
As "Inga".
Before then, you were Mitochondri-Allie.
As you admitted to Troop.
Edutcher you see nothing because you are too busy harassing liberals. Get your head out of your ass and you just might know what's going on around you. That is why you are ALWAYS wrong. Head up ass syndrome.
Still hiding behind her, I see.
And I'd still like to know when all this happened.
El Pollo Raylan said...
When I see Inga and Ed kiss and make up, I'll clap enthusiastically.
You may be waiting unto the Quadrillionth Millennium.
PS People were skeptical of her because her story of her "daughter" kept changing.
The human interaction that's been going on here is an amazing thing and it is largely attributable to the effort that Althouse has made throughout the years.
It's human nature to take things for granted. And that includes each other.
But some day it'll all end and perhaps it wouldn't hurt us too much to bear that in mind and to realize that we could all stand to be a little more humane.
I think I've finally read every single comment on this thread.
I really don't know why. Glutton for punishment, I guess. And I don't even like Math puzzles!!!
I love all you guys, and as one of the 90% who almost never commented but always read at althouse, I was actually very excited to come here and see all my favorite names show up.
I'm really not interested in meeting anyone; I just like the way a lot of you think, and appreciate the depth and good humor that often underlies the discussion. I love -- love! -- the fact that so many of you see things "outside the box," and it interests and challenges me in ways I genuinely enjoy. In that sense, Althouse was the perfect leader for the discussion, since she was unafraid to challenge the conventional take on any topic that caught her eye.
I don't know why things changed, but it was a very rapid and unsettling devolvement. Maybe it's just not possible to get that back, but isn't there room for that on the internet? Can't there be a place that's about ideas, and not so much personalities, at least in the sense of truly knowing each other IRL?
I especially don't get the flame throwers, who never seem to add anything to the discussion at all, just name-calling and accusation and innuendo. Why? What's the value there? I don't get it. It's not about whether the commenters here like each other personally, at least that's not what attracts me. It's your *ideas,* and the way you express them. Maybe if I knew you personally I'd be repelled, and horrified that I let you and your ideas into my home (as it were).
But see, the beauty of this is that I never *have* to let you into my home. It's about how you think about a topic that interests me, and how that makes me think in turn; and that's all I really need to know in order to love coming here. So maybe you really *are* a dog. But if you put an idea out there that gets me to think, I'm grateful. It's fun. It's interesting. I really don't want more than that.
I'd always wanted to be a commenter at althouse -- my goodness, you've all provided fodder for many a discussion at my home! I'd love to see if I could keep up with you all, and maybe even add something to the discussion. But the risk appears to be high; and the nasty infection appears to have followed you all here.
Eileen - wow. That was perfect. And I say that as someone who could have written exactly what you said because what you said fits me almost perfectly. You're ... ME, lol. Now that could raise some eyebrows around this place with the whole sock puppet, multiple ids, trolls, yada, yada, eh? Well said.
I agree with you, Mitchell. I will always feel gratitude toward Althouse for the delightful entertainment the blog and the comments provided but even moreso for the friendships I've gained.
I applaud Meade's efforts to keep you insects here instead of at his wife's blog. I see that you are still engaged in the old activities of bullying other commenters. The infestation hasn't followed you here, it is you. When you have devoured those outside your own group and they are gone, you will then proceed to devour one another. So be it, fitting end.
I will read with delight your puny efforts to figure out my identity. It seems to be something that some here seem positively obsessed with. I laugh in your puzzled faces. You seem to have no clue as to what constitutes humane humanity.
But some day it'll all end and perhaps it wouldn't hurt us too much to bear that in mind and to realize that we could all stand to be a little more humane.
I'm an unemployed, fleshless skull with one too many holes in my head, and now you want my to be humane?!
But see, the beauty of this is that I never *have* to let you into my home. It's about how you think about a topic that interests me, and how that makes me think in turn; and that's all I really need to know in order to love coming here. So maybe you really *are* a dog.
You've done something much riskier than letting us in your home. You've let us in your head.
At least if it's only in my head, I'm not also endangering my children!
That reminds me, though, of my father's take on picking up hitchhikers. He'd always say that if one of us were in the car, he'd never stop for a hitchhiker; but if he were alone in the car, he'd be willing to take the risk.
But dad, I'd think, when you put yourself in danger, you *are* putting us at risk!

I, however, have lots of vacant space. But please, don't pull up a couch and take residence - unless you're Chip Ahoy. Any man that can cook like that is welcome.
Ms. Jeantel lied two times under oath. She gave her deposition with the grieving mother beside her. If she lied to protect her interests, why wouldn't she lie to protect the interests of Trayvon and his mother. She's not credible as a witness. If she knew anything harmful to Trayvon's case, she would not knowingly reveal it. But, if you doubt her word, your doubt is characterized as a symptom of your unacknowledged racism.....I don't think that she's a bad person and, in other contexts, she might even be a sympathetic one, but it drives me crazy how considerate and supportive the media is of this woman.
Only connect. Hostility is a form of intimacy. The flame wars between Inga & Eductcher and Titus & Palladian were their way of becoming more entwined. Some of the insults were entertaining. I just don't think it's possible to truly hurt someone by hurling pixels at them. It's all just a pillow fight in a Punch & Judy show.

No Lem it is your place.
Tell us what you think.
I'm afraid Troops right...you've been pussed onto the throdium.
You should be allowed to think it over though, IMO.
True.
Sorry if it seemed like I was being pushy. I don't want to do that.
I think I just want to comment like old times.
Maybe we can't never go home again.
That would be sad.
So this is what's been happening over here? A petty turf war between rival kid's treehouse clubs?
That's right. We have all the fat guys on our side. Just sayn' if you want to join up.
That's right. We have all the fat guys on our side. Just sayn' if you want to join up.
I'll join whichever club has the most liquor.
Yes, that was my daughter, you are correct. Her face was not clear on purpose, in one picture and in the other she had on sunglasses, I used the avatar for one day and I CLEARLY it was my daughter, whose permission I had to use it. That was NOT the daughter that Methadras and Aridog posted a picture of.
I was being hounded by Edutcher and Trooper York, saying my daughter who was in th military was a fake. I asked her if I could use her pic, she said yes, absolutely and thought it was pretty damn shitty of Trooper York and Edutcher.
I'm concerned about this "anti-Semite" accusation.
What did I ever write that could be misconstrued that idiotically?
"So this is what's been happening over here?".
Not really. It's been pretty good until right now. Obviously some people want it to be better, and some have other priorities for the moment. I say let that moment pass and don't go back to it again. That will require voluntary cooperation from more than one person and the discipline to continue it for the good of us all, please?
The picture of my other daughter that Aridog and Methadras posted was clear with her full name on it.
Now I am done with you people. What a sickening bunch.
"Is it because I prefer uncut cock?"
So did John Wayne Bobbitt. I hope I'm not mentioning Trooper's son. If so it's accidental.
Couldn't we forgive and forget and start over?
A fresh start.
I've been on the net for a long time, and you've never seemed real. If you are, I apologize. I will not bring it up again.
Although it hurt Theo, all Palladian said was quit bragging on you kid.
I apologize, Lem, but I don't like fionas around dialing people up.
BTW, I thought The Lone Ranger was a fun movie.
I am beginning to suspect however that my wife would watch a movie with Johnny Depp reading a cereal box. To himself.
He does a good Injun. I'm uncertain why it bombed so bad. But most of the world puzzles me these days, so I've got that going for me.
Palladian, I apologize and withdraw my comment.
I really appreciate it.
So this place isdifferent than the old place.
I forgive you Inga. I never told you to wash them first.
I apologize for something. Whatever it is this time, I'm usually the last one to see it. It's not bad character, it's lack of character, but I'm just a kid, and it takes a while.
Deborah, apology accepted. EVERY single thing I have shared about myself and my family is true. I am a REAL person with real feelings and real children.

Lem, Meade married up from commenter status a while ago on Althouse.
He's not your foster blog father here either.
Think it over.
Ill add some more hang on.
I hear what you are saying Lem and I try my best to abide by it.
Nobody's perfect and everybody slips now and again.
Sorry that this late night nastiness developed. Let's try to move on.
Group hug!

If my PayPal account weren't 150 dollars overdrawn I'd definitely toss out a donation.
There's a lot of psychological manipulation going on around here, though. If I wanted that I'd visit my ex-boyfriend.
Lem, Meade married up from commenter status a while ago on Althouse.
ARE YOU GUYS PUNKING ME?
LOL if you are.
We are depending on you Rumplemskin.
Oh and one more thing.
Boston Sucks!
If you guys are waiting for me to act like an executive here you are going to be very much disappointed.
I got my executive certificate in the Obama school of in-decisive leadership from behind.
btw.
Nice to see you Dr Pogo.
You are just what the doc...
Hey Meade, I bet you do appreciate what Lem is doing. I wish I could find someone to take over my job, and save my wife from daily abuse for 52 bucks a year. You sure that's all it's worth? It should be worth at least 100 times what the rest of us mere visitors give.

It's not your daddy's constitutional republic.
Once upon a time, there were fantasies about on-the-road meet ups and the like, but somewhere along the line it just died.
Yeah, I think that died after a couple of on-the-road meet-ups, IIRC!
bagoh: Jeez. Thanks for the update.
I dimed out Emmanuel Goldstein last week. I hear they're closing in soon.
And just as in Orwell's story, the Two Minute Hate has turned into a full Hate Week. It's just like Shark Week, and just as much fun for the whole family!

Ya won't find me referencing Joyce, that's for sure.
Also?
"BARK!"
We've had a lot of embarrassingly stupid or corrupt A.J.s, but Eric Holder is the best by a long shot.
You listening Eric? I said you are the best, ma brotha.
Hi Lem.
Just found you.
Love seeing most of the old gang.
Though I must say it appears I have picked the wrong thread to show up on.
Hate the ugliness. You know who you are. Sheesh.
On a more important note --Some serious stuff going on with the DOJ. Three cheers for Robert Zimmerman.
How about we flood the DOJ "tip hotline" with the suggestion that they investigate Angela Corey for violating GFZ's civil rights?
@ Trooper Oh and one more thing.
Boston Sucks!
Ahem. There's more than one Red Sox fan here.
Did I miss the group hug???
Damn it.
