		<description>Welcome to the show boys.  I&#039;ve levelled up my debating skills a bit, whaddaya think?

Yankee, this guy&#039;s skull is impervious to facts, so don&#039;t even try.  He&#039;s filled it with nonsense and tinfoiled it over.  (And you&#039;re giving him the wrong impression regarding your own housing situation, which I&#039;m sure he&#039;d take advantage of in his petty way.)

Besides, he claims he&#039;s never going to return.  While it would be nice to never see him again, at least some small part of me wants to &quot;troll&quot; him right back into posting again.

I&#039;m also thinking about posting about the LHC to see if I can bait JTankers back on here, so I can school him once and for all.  Call it an unsettled grudge, since I robbed myself of truly taking him to task for his ridiculously unscientific and unfounded claims.</description>

		<description>Wow.  Ain&#039;t you just king douchebag?  Look at that strut.

Do I think she should have explored it on her show?  Abso-fucking-lutely -- in fact, it was yet another dereliction of her duties as a media mogul with her name on every damn thing you look at nowadays.  Do I think her NOT doing so, constitutes a cover-up?  No.  

A cover-up is when you lie, alter documents, or kill people involved to prevent the truth from getting out.  The truth was already out.  The fact that it was a woman, is probably less to blame than the fact that Oprah&#039;s own name was attached to this molestation incident.  Her business is predicated on building herself up as the most gloriously wonderful woman that ever did live.  She pulls her audience of bored housewives mostly by showing them facile, brainless ways of feeling better about themselves.  These ways include BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO showing certain men as abusive or certain women as put-upon by these men.  Abuse of women is a real issue in society.  Abuse of men is also a real issue, but it IS NOT AS PREVALENT.  (Note that I did not say it&#039;s not as serious, because it is as serious.  It&#039;s just not happening nearly as often; either that, or it&#039;s not being reported as often.)  And it IS NOT systemically controlled by a shadowy matriarchal underworld.  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;There is no gigantic fucking vagispiracy, okay?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

You don&#039;t have to cite me when the post is visible on the same page, and the meaning of that citation is clear.  You DO have to cite me when you claim I (or ANYONE ELSE) said or implied or did something that I (or ANYONE ELSE) didn&#039;t say or imply or do.  (For instance - your assertion that Oprah&#039;s gay.)  If you don&#039;t cite it, that&#039;s because it didn&#039;t happen, and they didn&#039;t do it, and that&#039;s how others will perceive you -- as just making shit up.  Get it now?  And learn to blockquote, noob.  

The fact that I had skimmed over the source material about that incident and didn&#039;t include it in my post does not mean I didn&#039;t research it.  It does however mean that I didn&#039;t do as much research as I should have, before replying.  The mere fact that I went back and revised my statement as I found more information is not backpedalling any more than changing strategies during war because you gained new information is &quot;cutting and running&quot;.  

Don&#039;t worry, Meme.  I know you&#039;ll be back.  You do so love to shit on people like me, people with clear heads and the facts on their sides.  And I&#039;ll be more than willing to bring the fight right back at you.</description>

		<description>&quot;which I will not post for fear of making you post more frequently here&quot;

Jason, as I suspected: you are a piece of shit. I tried baby boy, I weally did. Here&#039;s the deal: Oprah has made her career talking about her alleged male abuser--and in the one time it affects her life--and hence the propaganda value of the issue at large--she minimized it, bro. Do you have any idea how many women of Africa could be said to be victims of female sexual abuse, if we employed the western model oif so-called abuse? The matron got arrested, yteah, Oprah flew there, yeah--but then what? No exploration on her show about  how women routinely do this stuff? How women routinely &#039;fly down there&#039; and then you hear nothing at all, no follow up: which renders the issue moot, and a cover-up.

Ooops, I am wasting my time--I sensed you were a piece of shit over at Gregs, and now I know for certain. Claiming you researched this abuse incident for your article here( here&#039;s your citation you little pedant)  http://www.lousycanuck.ca/?p=775 &quot;
on 14 May 2009 at 5:59 pm &lt;a href=&quot;?p=775#comment-901&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;
Also, I read about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nypost.com/seven/10232007/news/worldnews/oprah_school_abuse_claim.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;that molestation incident&lt;/a&gt; in researching this post — Oprah flew straight down to the school as soon as news broke, and had the woman fired immediately.  That there were *any* repercussions in a country where molestation likely goes completely unreported and unanswered is amazing enough, though I agree that it’s horrible that the school matron did not have criminal charges pressed against her, and that she goes to this day unidentified to the English-speaking public is a travesty. But your assertion that the event was covered up is wholly baseless and uncited.  (What a surprise.)
Edit: yeah, a little more Googling shows that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20156503,00.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the matron DID get arrested&lt;/a&gt;.
Edit 2: and more Googling finds the matron’s name: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article2812171.ece&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Virginia Mokgobo&lt;/a&gt;.  So what have you got left?


Wherein you go into backpedal mode and stumble trouggh an explanation of how you didn&#039;t do the research yourself.

Steadman as a lifelong companion or a shield to hide behind when she is outed? Get real.

Count on me to never visit your blog again, I don&#039;t wanna make your mom mad--you DO still live in your moms basement, right? and when I pass you in the blogosphere--and I will--I will recall what a useless wanna be argumentative little squirrel trap of a pedant you are. I got bigger fish to fry. 

Good luck in your mating career--I hear the fauxleft ( scareword?is that what it is?) loves little boys like yo, you&#039;re easy and oh so willing to be cuckolded.</description>

The matron got arrested, yteah, Oprah flew there, yeah&#8211;but then what? No exploration on her show about  how women routinely do this stuff? How women routinely &#8216;fly down there&#8217; and then you hear nothing at all, no follow up: which renders the issue moot, and a cover-up.</p>
<p>Ooops, I am wasting my time&#8211;I sensed you were a piece of shit over at Gregs, and now I know for certain. Claiming you researched this abuse incident for your article here( here&#8217;s your citation you little pedant)  <a href="http://www.lousycanuck.ca/?p=775" rel="nofollow">http://www.lousycanuck.ca/?p=775</a> &#8221;<br />

Also, I read about <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/10232007/news/worldnews/oprah_school_abuse_claim.htm" rel="nofollow">that molestation incident</a> in researching this post — Oprah flew straight down to the school as soon as news broke, and had the woman fired immediately.  That there were *any* repercussions in a country where molestation likely goes completely unreported and unanswered is amazing enough, though I agree that it’s horrible that the school matron did not have criminal charges pressed against her, and that she goes to this day unidentified to the English-speaking public is a travesty. But your assertion that the event was covered up is wholly baseless and uncited.  (What a surprise.)<br />
Edit: yeah, a little more Googling shows that <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20156503,00.html" rel="nofollow">the matron DID get arrested</a>.<br />
Edit 2: and more Googling finds the matron’s name: <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article2812171.ece" rel="nofollow">Virginia Mokgobo</a>.  So what have you got left?</p>
<p>Wherein you go into backpedal mode and stumble trouggh an explanation of how you didn&#8217;t do the research yourself.</p>
<p>Steadman as a lifelong companion or a shield to hide behind when she is outed? Get real.</p>
<p>Count on me to never visit your blog again, I don&#8217;t wanna make your mom mad&#8211;you DO still live in your moms basement, right? and when I pass you in the blogosphere&#8211;and I will&#8211;I will recall what a useless wanna be argumentative little squirrel trap of a pedant you are. I got bigger fish to fry. </p>
<p>Good luck in your mating career&#8211;I hear the fauxleft ( scareword?is that what it is?) loves little boys like yo, you&#8217;re easy and oh so willing to be cuckolded.</p>

		<description>Shorter meme: [backhanded compliment] [baseless assertion] [slur] [citation needed]

I think in your rage over the misuse of the &quot;big mis***** word&quot;, which I will not post for fear of making you post more frequently here, you are overcompensating by seeing conspiracy and man-hating everywhere, without any evidence of such.  There is some tiny kernel of truth to some of your claims, e.g. that abuse of men is underreported, and that women &quot;over-report&quot; crimes against them (and in fact, I&#039;m a victim of such baseless assertions and still bear the mental scars that go with it so don&#039;t fucking tell me I&#039;m some kind of mindless feminist), but every time you open your goddamn mouth you spew out so much extra crap that what tiny bit of truth you speak is buried under mountains of effluence.  

I mean, why did you throw out another scareword like &quot;fauxleft&quot;?  Why did you say she&#039;s got a fetish about accusing all men of being perverts, when she plays up all sorts of men of dubious morals without any sort of critical eye?   And why the hell did you have to assert that a woman who&#039;s been in long-term relationships with men for her entire life, is a closet lesbian?   Anything you say that isn&#039;t evidenced, attached to this thread, diminishes what truths I put forth, so could you please back up some of your assertions for once in your trolling career?  I mean seriously, for fuck&#039;s sake, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.  Is that so hard?

You can feel free to refer to these points in your own Oprah-bashing, because I&#039;ve tried to provide evidence of each of my assertions (though there are actually a number of links missing from this that I originally intended to include).  But I warn you that every assertion you make that isn&#039;t evidenced hurts the cause.  So leave bashing sacred cows to people who can actually build their case.</description>
