Looks like a fallacy, specifically: special pleading:

Why is that justification considered valid when applied to an
anonymous poster like Bertie but not valid when applied to a poster
who uses his real name like Jay?

I never said it was or anything about anonymous posters.

As far as I can tell Jay has just as much right to "give a crap
less what anyone thinks of him" and just say what he feels about
"Bertie" without having to justify it.

I never said he didn't.

Bottom line:

Jay said Bertie is a troll.

I said Bertie is something else.





I'm kinda both. I used to reserve the Bertie handle strictly for
trolling but got lazy once in here harassing Anthony and started
using it to make sensible posts as well.
Thing is, the concept of a troll is widely misunderstood. I believe I
explained it well earlier in this thread. Without a trollee though ,
there are no trolls. You have to have someone as idiotic as Jay as a
target or there is no point. This does not mean that ignoring me
works. That tactic is just one more step along the way.
I can tell you from experience that a good troll is never deterred by
that. Jay hasn't actually killfiled me and I know it, for one thing,
and even if he left usenet forever I could pull his chain just by
living longer than him at this stage. He's mine forever now, so he
might as wel stay and get his ass kicked in the open than in his
limited imagination.

So, first it's MX and the Rabbit. Then Jay & Thomas. Who's next?

Why, you volunteering? Step right up. First lesson, it's a bit like
hypnosis. There are no unwilling victims.


Where does it end? Will you re-make the world in your image?

With any luck.


Do you just keep building windmills?

Windmills? nope. Wrong model.

Frankly, I don't give a damn,


Obviously.

but you leave a lot of muck to wade
through and I miss folks like MontBlack.

Hey, I do seem o remember recommending a killfile.


You are getting to be kinda like a boil, not very important, but a
pain
in the ass.

Now that's disappointing, I was aiming for lypoma


Bertie

I guess I can take some satisfaction out of disappointing you.
