    Is this meant to be a humorous commentary of some sort?

  2. August 27th, 2008 | 12:11 pm

    heh heh heh

    Hey Montreal man, did you check out the article that talks about Dailys son’ hiding facts on Obama?

    Seriously. I still want to know. Is this thing meant to be funny? Or is it some other type of commentary. I don’t get it. Who is “The White?”

  4. August 28th, 2008 | 6:20 am

    Hey, Bill, hello. .. I knew your father … or grandfather. Just saw him on a Monk.

  5. August 28th, 2008 | 6:21 am

    Paulie … don’t know about the article. Can you link it somewhere?

    Admin,

    No relation.

    Is this meant to be funny? Can you explain the joke? Or at least the point? It occurred to me today that you meant “The Whites’ Great Hope,” instead of “the White’s,” but it still doesn’t make sense. How is Obama the great hope of the Whites? Do you mean the White race? If so, why? If you have to inject race into this, I guess I could see calling him the Black’s great hope, but even then, it’s not so much funny as just kind of dumb.

    I know that a lot of your site is meant to be funny, and while you usually fall short of that, I usually understand that there’s an actual attempt at humor going on.

    Arthur Tiersky, you are a sad stalker. Shouldn’t you be busy not making it as a writer?

    Your imaginary friend Arthur isn’t the only one who thinks your attempts at humor are painful.

    When do we get a cartoon about McCain’s VP pick?

    Bil …

    No, relation, to the real Bill, huh? That’s too bad. He’s a real nice guy. And smart.

    Thanks for catching the mistake in my caption. It should have been the Great Whites’ Hope and not the Great White’s Hope, which makes it seem like Obama is the hope for a shark. What a difference an apostrophe makes, huh!? Although with people on the left one never knows!

    No explanation for anything, though. You either understand it or you don’t. You either get it or you don’t. You either smile or you don’t. Like I really give a flying f**k what you like or don’t like. Pleeze.

    Your persistence in dogging this little, obscure blog and post reminds me of someone I know named Arthur. Since you claim you don’t know him, and now think he’s imaginary, you can read about him here: Arthur, My Cyber Stalker

    Pretty obvious who “Atherton” is, and he is both clueless and sad.

    But we knew that.

    Arthur, you know what story we’d all love to hear? We’d love to hear the story about what happened to your movie, the one where the director convinced you that you should be the star and then disappeared.

    “The Great Whites’ Hope” doesn’t work, either. Now he’s the hope of the Great Whites. I assume what you were trying to communicate is that Obama is the great hope of the white people, which remains a bizarre statement requiring further explanation.

    This is hilarious.

    The slack-jawed drooling morons who frequent this site are apparently unable to believe that anyone other than me could possibly have any sort of criticism to express of it. Lord help us all.

    For the record, I post under my own name and no one else’s, because, unlike John, who ducks every critical question asked of him and deletes any comments that cut too close to the bone, or the even more cowardly commenters taking potshots at me from behind pseudonyms, I stand behind what I write.

    Additionally, for the record, “EBY”, it’s a very long and complicated story, and I’m not going to go into it for the risk of John deleting it (as I’m willing to bet he’ll do to THIS post), but you don’t even have the vaguest description of it right.

    What’s astonishing to me about this particular thread is that poor William asked a perfectly reasonable question about this baffling cartoon, and John, rather than be grateful that anyone is visiting this place at all and trying to make some sense of his gibberish, give him the high hat and tells him that he doesn’t give a flying “f**k” what he thinks. John, why even have a blog if you’re going to be that pissy toward even the most mild of negative reactions to it?

    Incidentally, I’m still not really up for lunch with you, if the offer’s still open, but if you ever wake up and realize how cowardly and reprehensible your online behavior has been, let me know.

    Always a pleasure…

    Actually, Arthur, the sad stalking I was talking about was putting up a thread on WA about this post, then copying and pasting the comments from this post into the thread as well. That’s the sad stalkerish behavior I was talking about.

    Also, returning to the comments section on a post of a photograph days later is also sad and stalkerish.

    Please tell me you didn’t invest your own money in that vanity project movie. Please.

    EBA -

    1. I would have happily posted my question about the cartoon here, but since John usually deletes my comments, it seemed an exercise in futility, so I posted it elsewhere. And seeing as how he declined to answer me there AND nearly bit poor William’s head off for asking a similar question here, it clearly WOULD have been an exercise in futility.

    2. I love it. The guy who is so obsessed with me that he’s taking anonymous potshots at me when I’m not even posting here is the one calling ME “sad and stalkerish.” Hilarious.

    3. I’m happy to answer your questions about the film, but not here, as it’s completely off topic and really no one else’s business, but feel free to PM me at WA with any questions.

    Oh wait, that would mean you revealing your identity to me, and you’re WAY too much of a coward for such a thing, right?

    1. You know he has you on ignore on WA as well. So your question wasn’t to get an answer from John, it was to suck up to the other lefty losers crowding WA.

    2. I posted here because I knew you were such a sad stalker that you’d keep checking the comments on this thread. I was right. It was a trap to see how much of a sad stalker you are. Verdict: very.

    3. It’s no one else’s business but you’re happy to answer me….. OH! It was really a clever way of pointing out that I’m anonymous. So, when you started posting here, did you use your full name, like you are now? Because if you didn’t, that would make you a….. oh what’s the word….. hypocrite. Shocking territory for you, I know.

    Let’s see if you can get to ten thousand posts here, too!!! I believe in you!!!

    1. That’s why I put his name in the thread title this time; IGNORE doesn’t hide thread titles. He has no excuse other than cowardice for not answering me.

    2. EBA, this is a live thread on a public blog, and I check back here now and then because it amuses me, watching poor William continuing valiantly to try to get any sort of answer to his simple question, only to finally get his head ripped off for deigning to ask. If that makes me a “sad stalker”, so be it, but here’s something maybe you didn’t know: That “Arthur” column John linked to above? He has since embellished it. Revised an already-dead thread by adding my picture to it and commenting on how ugly I am and how unsurprising it is that I can’t get a girlfriend, and so on and so forth. Now, put aside for a second how irrelevant and childish that sort of thing is (Serious question here, John: If you heard that one of your children was ridiculing someone’s looks at school, would you proud of them? Because I don’t see how you could reprimand them at this point.); now if I’m recalling correctly, that photo (which is several years old, btw) is only on my Myspace page. So John was SO determined to embellish that classy, classy column with a photo and some hilarious remarks about my looks that he tracked me down on Myspace to dig one up. Yet I’m the “cyber-stalker.” Uh-huh.

    3. Yes, that’s correct, I’m happy to answer you because YOU ASKED (and incidentally, YOU only brought it up mockingly, in hopes of somehow embarrassing me, as it’s completely irrelevant to this thread. But I’d still be happy to answer you.). No one else asked. If someone else asked, I’d answer them, but this is mainly a haven for John’s political views and delightful football haikus, so I really can’t imagine anyone else gives a damn about that story. And again, all you have to do is PM me, which you won’t, because you’re a coward.

    4. It’s not hypocrisy, because I’m not calling you a coward merely for being anonymous, EBA. It’s your right to be. When I first started posting here, I used just my first name, because that seemed about par for the course for blogs like this (MORE than par, actually), and I assumed John would deduce who I was from that anyway, so there was hardly an attempt to hide my identity, and on top of that, I didn’t start posting here to insult or personally attack John, I was attacking John’s ARGUMENTS, which were rife with poor logic, misstatements of fact, and double standards, but in any case…all that is beside the real point, which is:

    YOU are the one who is taking nasty potshots at me; to do that and not even be man enough to reveal your identity privately to me is pure, grade-A, blue-chip, 24-karat cowardice.

    Granted, it’s really not all that hard to deduce who you are anyway, but that doesn’t make it any less cowardly.

  18. September 4th, 2008 | 11:01 am

    Arthur …

    <

    p>Wow! You really have nothing to do in your life, do you?

    But, to answer your questions — I’m going to hate myself for this,

    Is the kid my child is ridiculing being a pain in the ass to my child? If not, then gratuitously ridiculing his looks is inappropriate and I’d tell him so.

    If, on the other hand, that person was a dorky asshole like yourself who keeps hounding him, I’d say go after anything you can. Why should someone hide behind whatever faults he has just so he can be a putz.

    The thing is, you may not be ugly, but you’re dorky looking. I don’t care how old the picture is, unless you got some plastic surgery, you’re still dorky looking. That you’d even defend your looks tells me you’re not thrilled with them. Don’t blame you.

    I used to work with a comedy writer (hey, I had a very successful career at your age), who had cerebral palsy and he was mean and cruel to people. Someone finally got fed up and said, “Listen, you crippled little fuck, keep it up and I’ll break your ass.” He stopped being cruel to that person.
    But then again, he was probably smarter than you.

    Poor William … valiantly? What is he, some kind of gladiator? I don’t want to answer him because there is no answer. If someone doesn’t find something funny or amusing, it can’t be explained. I EXPLAINED that. William seems to have accepted that — maybe not, but maybe he has. If so, he’s far more evolved than you.

    Arthur, I never claimed this blog to be political, classy or anything else you claim it to be. As I wrote before, it’s for my own amusement, and that of many of my friends. You’ve chosen to make it and me some kind of bete noire.

    Go away and we can forget all this happened. I’ll delete everyone about you and move on. Otherwise, expect more.

    If, on the other hand, that person was a dorky asshole like yourself who keeps hounding him, I’d say go after anything you can.

    I could say you’re a lousy parent, but then what do I know, because I’m not a parent. At least you’ve had children. How does one do that? (Just trying to lighten things. I really know how. It’s good to have a woman, first, right? :)

    Why should someone hide behind whatever faults he has just so he can be a putz.

    That’s a fair point. A lousy person can’t expect his faults or looks to be bullet proof if he keeps annoying someone. Thanks to you, I get that.

    See, I thought I was attacking your arguments, but I wasn’t. I was just attacking, period. And you really turned mean by writing that piece about me. It really hurt my feelings. And then you went after my looks, career and social life. That really hurt, because much of it is true. But you have to admit that doing that was childish, bullying and certainly not Christian.

    However, given how I’ve kept hounding you, even after you’ve told me you didn’t like or want me here, but I kept coming back though you said you’d delete me, I now reluctantly see how frustrating it must have been for you, causing you to resort to such tactics. I guess I pushed you to it and for that I’m sorry, if you’ll admit you went too far.

    The thing is, you may not be ugly, but you’re dorky looking. I don’t care how old the picture is, unless you got some plastic surgery, you’re still dorky looking.

    At least you’re prince enough to tell me what my friends have been afraid to tell me.

    That you’d even defend your looks tells me you’re not thrilled with them. Don’t blame you.

    Plenty of more recent pics of me on WA and on my Myspace and Facebook pages that give me a more flattering look. I admit, it’s was hard to find them, but check them out and maybe you might put one of them up so people can see I may not be as dorky as you say.

    I don’t want to answer him because there is no answer. If someone doesn’t find something funny or amusing, it can’t be explained. I EXPLAINED that.

    Bravo. I really get it, even though I gratuitously called you out on it on the WA board. Oh, and while we on that, I want to apologize for those negative comments after someone else mentioned your name in a favorable light there. I must have had the rag on that day — metaphorically speaking.

    William seems to have accepted that — maybe not, but maybe he has.

    I think he realized that life is too short to continue asking a question and, you know what, John, that’s what made me realize how right you were regarding my constant reappearances here and why you just don’t want to deal with it. Yes, life IS too short, so why should William or you have to deal with something unpleasant. Naturally I don’t think I’m unpleasant, but you do.

    Arthur, I never claimed this blog to be political, classy or anything else you claim it to be.

    All of which is your right, and I’m sorry I imposed my own flawed preconceptions on what you were writing here.

    Which is why I actually HAD resolved to stop posting here..

    1. “That’s why I put his name in the thread title this time; IGNORE doesn’t hide thread titles. He has no excuse other than cowardice for not answering me.”

    He doesn’t give a shit about you, Arthur. Just like all the women and producers in Los Angeles.

    1. He made fun of how you look? Waaaaaah waaaaaah waaaaaaaaaah! And he probably doesn’t know about your stupid stooges tattoo yet. That is the cherry on top of the loser sundae that is AT.

    2. I’m a coward? Because I don’t want to set loose the sad obsessive stalker of all time on me? I call that smart. Because since you’ve given up on writing, your calling is clearly attacking people who see you for the dumbfuck you are.

    3. I’m not man enough? Sexist much? You really are pitiful. I’m actually feeling sorry for you. I’m a little sick when I think of your sad life.

    And you’ve deduced who I am? Good work CSI. I’m sure you’re as wrong about that as you are about everything else.

    Arthur claims to read this blog because it “amuses him”.

    No, he reads it because he can’t stand the idea of people talking smack about him. He has a pathetic need to defend himself, even on an obscure (though well-written and insightful) blog.

    All this — even after being told Boni doesn’t want him here, doesn’t like him, and thinks he’s an ass.

    Masochism at work.

    In Arthur’s defense, I have to say that the shots fired at him here are cheap, ugly and nasty, and I can hardly blame him for responding. However, I’d also say that this site is VERY obscure, and - based on the incredibly low caliber of the work done on it (even by right wing blog standards) is so low, that that is unlikely to ever change.

    I’m eager to see if Mr. Boni’s pro-Sarah Palin cartoon is as incomprehensible as his anti-Obama ones.

    Atherton:

    Does it bother you that someone you think is so untalented has had more success than you can ever dream of? It would bother me. It would make me realize that my own poor judgement is the thing that’s holding me back.

    Besides, judging by Arthur’s last post, he’s realized what a moron he’s been and apologized to Boni. So you should let it go as well.
