Time for the Haters to Get This Through Their Heads

I'm Not Impressed with Take 'Em Downer Claims

Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead

Joy is ringing out in Dixie's corner of cyberspace today. The blogger who lied and called himself RBLee, titled his attack blog (well...one of them) after the Virginia Flaggers motto, has disappeared. The blog was titled Restoring the Honor, but I called it Destroying the Honor, because that was his purpose. My nickname for him was DeStroy

Well, the blog is no longer there and his twitter account (or one of them) , Don Chump, has vanished.

See, what happened is that *Brad Griffin of the League of the South finally had enough and turned into an internet Super Sleuth, and found a page online where this chump, who had successfully hidden behind anonimity for years, slipped up and used his actual name, which is (drum roll)....

And here he is.

This man has the voice of the classic Trickster. He was clever with the language, and if you didn't know the people he was talking about -- if you didn't know he was lying egregiously -- you might be tempted to believe. He combed the internet constantly for comments, events and photos he could misrepresent on his blog. One wonders how he could have held down a job when he spent so much time online ... but maybe he didn't work...

He was obsessed with race, racial matters and racism. He focused on white nationalists, the alt-right, conservatives and Confederate heritage, particularly the Virginia Flaggers. He strove mightily to show the Flaggers as the equivalent of racist groups, or connected to them. He never proved it, because you can't prove what ain't so.

One of his activities was to urge the media to look into these groups, particularly the Flaggers, and he expressed disappointment several times that the press didn't ask them the "hard questions." If memory serves, I posted a comment at his blog once explaining that the press in Virginia likely knew the Flaggers much better than he did, and knew there was nothing to question. But his animosity for the Flaggers could not be dissuaded.

But with the rise of the alt.right, his focus shifted. He was always quite unbalanced but after the Charlottesville brouhaha, he approached the edge of straitjacket territory. He filed FOIA requests, he reported on court procedings ... and was still at it when the blog disappeared.

I frequented his blog quite a bit when he was harassing the Flaggers but when he started focusing on white nationalism, I lost interest. It's a boring subject and has nothing to do with Confederate heritage support. Nevertheless, I am delighted that the blog and Twitter accounts have >poofed< into nothingness.  For one thing, it proves what we always knew about him, from his hunkering down behind anonimity -- he's a colossal coward.

But I don't think for a minute we've heard the last of him. He gets too much of his identity from harassing and bullying others. He is the kind of person who, given the slightest bit of power, would cause as much trouble, distress and pain as he possibly could. For no reason.

So we will celebrate and rejoice that this wicked witch -- at least, its blog and twitter feed -- has gone where the goblins go, below, below, below ... and pray it stays that way.

Abstract Andy

Andy doesn't display his animosity for the heritage community on his own blog the way he does on the comment threads of other Flogger blogs.  It might be interesting to know why.... Nah, strike that. I don't think examining Andy's motives would be interesting at all, since they mirror the motives of other floggers, and have done so for years. It would just be boring repetition.

But it can be instructive to examine his digs and smears, like the one below. Not sure why he uses the "trademark" superscript after the words Confederate Heritage. He's done it for years. I'm sure he means for it to convey ridicule.  But that little mystery is as boring as why he doesn't use his own blog for his hatemongering.

In any case, in the comment, which came from Levin's Flog (if memory serves) he says heritage folks "set there hair on fire" over the possibility that Tim Kaine might become vice president in the last election. Well, of course that's not true. Despite Kaine's loathing of decent Americans and Virginians and his delusional approbation of socialism, one of the most destructive ideologies to come from the mind of man, Kaine and his possible effects paled to nothing compared to the possibility of Hillary Clinton becoming president.

Andy sez the heritage folks circulated a meme blaming Kaine for removal of the flags from the VMFA, "even though," he further sez, "he'd left the governor's office months before."

Andy, Andy, Andy, are you playing dumb, or do you really not know that an elected official's political influence and power doesn't all magically dissipate just because a term  in office ends?

No, Randy-Andy, they don't wonder why they're not taken more seriously than they are, because the only people who don't take them seriously are people like you -- haters and slanderers, whose opinions don't matter to them.

I guess you haven't notice but the Virginia Flaggers are becoming the go-to group for the media regarding heritage issues.

Confederate Heritage consists mostly of memes, these days? Only to people like you, who see the memes and think that's all their is.

I make a lot of memes. I post them on Facebook and here on my blog. Now and then, one of them will strike a chord, and they get widely shared. But there is no shortage of text on my Facebook page. I'm sure you slink and slime around the heritage corner of Facebook enough to know that. But why let truth and fact get in the way if your aim is to smear and trash?

Andy, stop embarrassing yourself. I'm sure you know, everyone uses memes these days. The heritage community is hardly unique in that manner. Graphic memes have become a huge part of cyberspace.

Let me suggest you stick with your maritime mem-- photos and leave off your petty attempts to embarrass and ridicule heritage folks. You evidently don't know how it makes you look so I'll tell you. It makes you look no better than your distorted view of those you are attempting to smear. Get it?
